Has anybody ever made it extremely obvious to you that you're neurodivergent?
  • I was working on a personal project when a friend visited. I went through a quick series of successes and failures with my project and openly emoted at each, afterward he said to me "I've never seen anyone go through so many emotions in such a short amount of time."

  • Sooo many awesome suggestions here for you, OP!

    One thing I don't think I've seen yet, is that you should create your calendar events as barebones as possible and then edit them to add each additional detail. This will notify everyone else attached of the updates to your event, every time you update any of them.

    How can i annoy my stupid bitch boss?
  • At work, my work calendar is shared with the entire company to see. I like it as it lets people easily schedule meetings with me, know at which of the two locations (or at home) I am.

    "Fun" fact: Outlook and Teams have a Scheduling assistant feature that makes that unnecessary. If a person wants to schedule a meeting with you, they don't need access to your calendar to check availability. They just add you, pick a day, and it will suggest to them time slots you have open in your calendar for that day. There's no longer a need to share an Outlook calendar with anyone just so they can know when you're free to meet.

    What type of connector is this?
  • After finding a video for a VERY similar desktop version of this module, I'm inclined to think you're right now. The case for putting these on a desktop does have 2 fans mounted to the top rear. Disassembly in the video does not show or indicate that they have any power cables that require unplugging.

    What type of connector is this?
  • I think you're right. I just looked up a video of a version of this module with an outer case, for desktop use. Otherwise looks the same inside. It looks like this might provider power to 2 top-rear mounted fans.

    What type of connector is this?
  • Maybe? It's brushed over and not directly acknowledged in any documentation for the products that show it. If it is, I'm surprised they didn't at least label it as such on the documentation so people would know it's not intended for consumer use.

    What type of connector is this?
  • I initially thought that, too, but I've never seen a fan connector like what's on the board. Judging from the product shots and manual illustrations, the case appears to have all of its fans, and they have more direct connections to the PSU.

    Not saying you're wrong (I have no idea lol) or arguing, just how I went from thinking fans too, to doubting it.

  • Recently got a Sonnet xMac Pro Server case to put my MacPro6,1 into my rack. I'm getting things fitted into the Thunderbolt expansion housing and noticed this board with a socket on it. The board has power wired from the PSU, but there's nothing in the manual/product details (even though it's in the illustrations) that indicate what this connector is or what its intended purpose is. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Edit: I just looked up a video of a version of this module with an outer case, for desktop use. Otherwise looks the same inside. It looks like this might provide power to 2 top-rear mounted fans. https://youtu.be/zG4I8q5JbyY?t=285&si=43mA0xhR-7ETQgPd

    Should I pursue testing/diagnosis?

    Obviously, I'm unqualified to diagnose myself with EDS, but there's several signs I'm seeing after reading the article posted here, and family members bringing it up as a potential cause/link to another medical condition of mine.

    At the end of this month I have a new patient intake appointment with a Primary Care Physician (US healthcare unfortunately.) I'd like to ask them to help me determine if I might have a form of EDS. I've known since I was a child that I have hypermobility, but never knew EDS was even a thing or that it could impact other areas of health and the body, and the more I read into it the more "symptoms" I find that I just thought were odd but part of my funky physiology (scarring, bruising, digestion, foot pain have stood out the most.)

    As I'm reading more and more into the forms of EDS and its traditional testing methods, I can't help but wonder if this doctor (or most others) will be hesitant or refuse to test for it. I'm not looking to get much more than knowledge for myself concerning the way my body behaves; I certainly don't expect or want a doctor to diagnose me and start throwing treatments on it.

    This leads me to my question(s): Has anyone here that's been diagnosed with a form of EDS felt they were largely dismissed by their doctors, regarding EDS or testing? Also, for those that have been diagnosed, do you feel the diagnosis was ultimately helpful or hurtful to you and/or your treatment during medical care?

    TIA

    AMD, Intel, and a slew of tech companies are teaming up to fend off ARM chips
  • Not all ARM chips are in phones, nor are they all locked down like one. There are several ARM devices and SBCs now where switching OSes is as easy as swapping out an SD card. Most do use uboot as a standard and some are even capable of utilizing UEFI.

    Illegal Starlink terminals helped Russia advance at front line, particularly in capturing Vuhledar.
  • Location info shouldn't be needed, though. (Even though they should technically be able retrieve location data from any terminal on their own already. It's all their hardware and network.) They should be able to geoblock traffic from Ukraine/Russia while having a kind of Allow filter for the terminals they know they provided for use by Ukraine.

    It's the same concept as blocking a country's domains but allowing certain domains of that country through for emails. They just need to setup a "spam" filter.

    Anyone using an (ARM) Chromebook with ChromiumOS or Linux?
  • They do well as light work machines. Mines done some weird stuff, and Ive subjected it to various things, but it keeps on trucking. Worst it's ever done is reset on me, but logging in brought back everything important.

    That script has an option to install coreboot in it's TUI. But it only works on x86, arm Chromebooks aren't supported by the utility

  • I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?

    Alt OSes for EOL Chromebooks

    I'm curious if anyone has tried alternative OSes on an EOL Chromebook?

    Ive read using brunch can keep them receiving updates (without losing Android/Linux containers)

    I tried out bliss is from a live usb last night and it was okay. Honestly the 3 launcher options just send to compete with each other.

    Anyone tried any others out? If so, which ones, what was your experience like?

    I’m having a bit of a hard time with this, but I also acknowledge this is still relatively niche still.

    I’d like to make printed recreations of some parts that I currently have. They’re unfortunately a bit complex to quickly recreate manually in a sculpting software. I do have an iPad PRo and a budget for any additional hardware to help. I was hoping I could find a carousel I could connect to the iPad Pro and use and app to control the carousel and scan the parts. I’m not finding anything.

    Can anyone recommend a good setup to make 3D scans of these small parts, or an app/hardware combo that could help me accomplish this?

    As I'm sure many others have encountered, within days of creating any user in O365, they start receiving spam, phishing, and solicitation emails. Some of these bad actors have shown a very clear pattern to me, so it leads me to believe a team of bad actors may have found access to our GAL and will make regular attempts to scam our employees. I'm of course, also curious how I might find that employees with minimal outside communications (external communications are with specific individuals at client companies.)

    Unfortunately, I haven't much experience with SecOPs, so I'm curious if anyone more experienced can suggest some good tools to recommend for me to do some digging into this. Tool/app platform doesn't matter, I've got Windows, Mac, and Linux machines available to utilize for testing.

    A friend and I have an idea we want to begin working on to take something small, rescale, and print it.

    When talking with a friend pretty big into printing already, he suggested for scanning in the parts that we use a carousel that can have it's speed controlled by the scanning app.

    I didn't have much luck in my initial searching so I thought I'd reach out to the community for suggestions of equipment/apps we can use to get the best possible scans.

    Tia!
