If it’s thermal paper/stickers and it advances the paper but doesn’t actually print anything, you might double check to make sure the paper is still good. Hold it over a lit lighter and make sure it darkens with heat.

Nevermind, I missed the last paragraph where it’s already working on Windows

eBay has plenty of x86/x64 computers that don’t technically support Windows 11. An old Lenovo desktop/sff with a 7th gen i7 could be a pretty cheap entry point. 8th Gen and up will be more expensive since they can still run windows 11

Can you just turn the robots.txt into a click wrap agreement to charge robots high fees for access above a certain threshold?

iirc they track the hardware changes and do allow motherboard swaps, but it may be safer to swap cpu first, then motherboard

Couldn’t you write in the text editor then copy/paste into terminal without saving? (Who needs documentation anyway)

Not as easy on a laptop, like this is. Usually a pain in the ass to replace laptop chicklet keyboard keys, if you can even find a replacement without a windows icon

If you can learn to talk with your throat like a ventriloquist, it’s pretty easy to hold a conversation with the dentist.

It’s probably on a hands free mount rolling at the camera angle.

However, it’s still illegal to have video playing within view of the driver, so he’s still breaking the law

No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap. 2012-2013 would be my bare minimum, usb3 if only for loading a new OS.

Lol the 3gb 1060s kinda were ewaste tho

The I7 has hyper threading which is a ~50% perf boost over the i5

Serious question, why haven’t you upgraded to an i7 yet? They’d have to be super cheap at this point, right?

Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards

Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.

matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.

It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.

If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.

If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.

A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.

It could certainly be an optical illusion.

It could be a tactic to confuse anti missile batteries, by firing half a second after apogee. Gravity is fixed/known, but a secondary booster could be fired at different accelerations. Also it would leave less time to intercept

I think it looks more like the ignition of a 2nd stage motor, since it picks up speed, but I’m no rocket surgeon.

Well that’s the thing, this bill actually removes the minimum parking requirements. The opposition is just NIMBY

Fwiw, pi zeros have USB host & device/gadget modes, but I doubt a zero would have enough power to do what you need
