A 5 month old ssd is in it. It's running fine now so I will swap the drive if it happens again.

Well, turns out it was a bunch of junk running in the background that I couldn't see in the beginning. Got it all removed, and it is working fine again.

We have our important stuff backed up to onedrive automatically. Text messages etc, I don't really care about, but documents, photos etc are all on onedrive. I tell everyone at work when they purchase a phone to do some sort of back up. How many people have I seen extremely upset because their phone craped the bed and they lost everything.

Picked this gem up last week. Just getting around to charging it up.

What a score! I love 80 and 90s cars. My cut off for great vehicles is 2004. After that bean counters took over and ruined everything.

was it on when you washed it?

I can't wait to see how it does video editing. Thats what I need graphics power for.

I have to go inside the system to disconnect the battery. I will let you know if I get the system later.

Update time. I have given up trying to the the PCI-E drive to work in the server, I am going to try another route now. I 2.5 inch raid enclosure with 2 256gb m.2s set to raid 1 in drive bay 1. See if I can load TrueNas on that. If that works I will move forward with the rest of the project. I have the enclosure, drives, 16gb of ram, a Noctua 120mm fan and a few other odds and ends ordered for it. Once all that gets in and installed, it will be time to give the ssd enclosure a whirl! see if I can get it to work that way. Can't see why it wouldn't.

check out the pixel a series as well. They are great smaller phones.

that's another awesome tablet but what is with the obsession with apple software design. It's FUGLY and counter intuitive.

My mom called me yesterday and asked me to come up to their house and see about fixing her trackpad and mouse pointer. It keeps freezing and the working. So I did not see anything wrong in any settings, no software using resources in Task Manager, etc. I did a restore on her system, and while doing the restore, I noticed even the spinner for the update was freezing. I think it's something other than the mouse, and wondering what could cause this. I don't think it's heat related as no fans are spinning when it's happening. Any ideas?

Agreed, I am expanding my workshop this spring and putting a lift for doing my own work. I have most every tool needed for anything automotive related. Just need a shop high enough to install the lift. Even the 2500 dollar expensive of the lift will be recouped in no time with 4 vehicles to maintain.

The big thing for me is preparation of the food. Deep fried in the same fryer as other things with wheat triggers my allergies. Prepared on the same countertop as something with flour and boom. Triggered again. It's brutal.

UPDATE: I have found some information on video editing on the snapdragon pcs. It's a big NO GO. I have to suck it up and buy the ASUS proArt P16. It's the only system that gives me everything I want in a portable workstation now. The ARM systems just grind to a hault when pushed with 4k video footage and adding any type of color grading etc. The ProArt blows through it without issue.

sure we would, we just would not have to pay insane prices for them.

Gotta love capitalism.

I am seriously considering a surface 15 inch with 64gb of ram. The only thing I am waiting for is to get some information on true creative workflows. I have yet to find any information on 64gb X elite systems doing true creative workflows. Once I get some more information, I will see what I am going to do. I was looking at ProArt P16, but in true ASUS fashion, they have shoddy quality control and abysmal customer service.

Yes, Huawei got massively neutered by the orange one. too bad, they had some of the best hardware out there.

I used to buy all kinds of games back in the day. in the early/mid 80s I was addicted to "quest" games from sierra. all of those were 79.99 canadian back then. Do the math and its around 202.00 today. I have all of them stashed away somewhere here. DIfference is I had floppy disks and later cd copies of these games. Today, you just have a digital copy and when they see fit, they turn it off. Just like Apple did with Aperture when I spent 350 bucks on it digitally and they cancelled it. I had no way to re install the software I purchased. I was not happy. One of the reasons I will never purchase another apple PC. They are famous for charging customers then just cancelling software etc.

Yes, I agree. there is zero percent chance apple buys intel. There is a 90 percent chance qualcomm buys it.

All other manufacturers have great growth YOY besides Apple. Wonderful stuff! ha ha.

Just checking my system again now for any new bios updates. Roll the dice!

To go along with our new lighting, we just bought a new to us Canon eos 1Ds MkII. 17mp of full frame beast goodness. I picked up a 50mm 1.8 lens to start us off. Can't wait to get it next week. Gonna be fun!
