Looking for a shop computer/tablet that probably doesn't exist
  • On Amazon, there are a couple of industrial machines with the KINGDEL brand/label that I’ve used in my soils lab that have held up pretty well. They’re fairly inexpensive for what they are, would probably work with Linux, much more than windows 11 since they’re not exactly running the latest generation CPU’s Honestly, I think I would be looking for a keyboard used in the medical industry or an industrial keyboard that is membrane based. If you’re getting a nicer one be prepared for a little bit of sticker shock. Ditto for the mouse.

  • Best Filesystem for NAS?
  • Yes, file size, drive types, the amount of RAM in the server, in the source and destination of the operation, can all have an effect on Performance. But generally if he’s moving within the same pool, it should be pretty quick.

  • Cockatoo and pigeon, February 2024, New South Wales, Australia
  • It’s just before 6:00 in the morning here for me in the US. I have to say on first glance that looked like some chthonic horror! (Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn)

    I had to read the title for my not yet awake brain to engage and make sense of what I was seeing. Lovely shot!

  • Would you give your phone’s password to your boss?
  • I’ve been using Google’s native MDM. I can’t do any of those on a personal device. The only thing I can do with a personal phone used for work is wipe the android for a work profile off of it. If you’re using a company device, I cannot do any of that. The only thing I can do is wipe the entire phone and that’s it.

  • Do you have a Heat Pump in a cold climate?
  • I’m in central Ohio as well and had one installed when my coil died in my home a few years ago. It works fairly well down into about the low thirties, but beyond that the aux heat (gas, I kept my furnace) flips on.

    There is a point where the temp dips low enough to render mine useless, but we have some at my office that work in the mid to low twenties(!)

  • Ubuntu Linux Squeezes ~20% More Performance Than Windows 11 On New AMD Zen 4 Threadripper Review
  • It’s supposed to be tuned more toward heavy workflows, such as rendering and CAD. It has support for more RAM (6TB) and quad SMP along with ReFS, and SMB Direct.

    I only found out about it because we needed a beastly set up for combining lidar and drone aerials in Autodesk.

  • Thinkpads RE: Repairability/upgradability
  • True! T series or P series are much better made. I’d also advise heading over to Lenovo support site and checking the service manual for any machine you’re interested in, just to make sure that the features you may want to upgrade are upgradable.

    I’ve noticed Lenovo doing a lot of SOC style systems ala Apple where your RAM is one and done. It’s mostly been on the thin/light segment but…

    My biggest complaint has been the fact that they don’t put the USB C inputs on a daughter card. I don’t know what the cost savings is, but I literally had two machines that users had killed the USB on that spent close to 10 months waiting on parts for a warranty repair.
