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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I bet that's unauthorized use of trademark and McDs is gonna love it! 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm inclined to agree. I wasn't a fan when I tried it on my EOL one as an option.

If you need to keep the budget down, you could probably find an end of service 2 in 1 Chromebook and make it a chultrabook.

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.

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?

 

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?
