I mentioned buying one for my Dell G15 machine I returned because it was lacking. Well, when the Dell/Alienware President's Day Sale hit, Dell had refunded my bank account so I pulled the trigger on an Alienware M15 R7 with far better specs than the G16 I had been looking at, which was already...

I remember jerrying a Cardbus USB 2.0 adapter with two ports. It fit flush, but I had to make it fit. And that was on a different machine. I used to use PCMCIA a lot and Cardbus a lot. That standard was easier to work with than ExpressCard. I never did get my ExpressCard (in USB mode)...

None pizza with left beef

I bought this drive for the Dell G15 I ordered. I'm returning that machine because I don't like the display and decided to wait for the RTX 40-series GPU machines. In the meantime, I stumbled upon a dirt-cheap Lenovo Ideapad 3i at Walmart that actually turned out to be better than my geriatric...

Why not just 3D print or Shapeways one?

Good, because I pulled the trigger like I promised. I feel weird right now. I really haven't had the kind of time/cash gap available to me to take chances on important tech issues that have an effect on people from my class/roots. I may have discovered my purpose.

Pulled the trigger. If my shiny new Dell G15 5520 had two SSD sockets, I'd have doubled up. Edit: Also bought a 2x32GB DDR5 SODIMM 4800 set. Official specs say the Dell G15 2022 5520 Intel will only take 32GB. I call bullshit and I'm willing to bet my time and money on it. It's literally one...

Is that link supposed to say "hardfocom"? Just hoping it's not a typo because damn right I'm pulling the trigger. Lol

Based on the pic of the CPU, you got one of the 50CT units with an underclocked Pentium 120MHz CPU where the discontinued 75MHz CPU should be. I recall there are ways to enable it to run at full speed, but it requires soldering those tiny wires. The 120 would also easily take an FSB boost to...

Still no Half Life 3.

Update almost three years later. The problems the panel was experiencing were traced to the insulation on the wires between the Logic Board and TCON on the panel basically turning into powder. This is the same thing that happened to the RoboSapien V2 robot. I never could scare up a new cable or...

I haven't had access to this account for over 3 years. Very long story. I just happened to find my password formula book and figured it out. I still have Dashcat2, full of spiderwebs. No heatsinks, no RAM, e-waste motherboards. But 2U cases still have room for decent GPUs. I made a practical...

I should update that the 3008WFP finally died this past Summer. It's likely power supply related, but I haven't looked into it yet because I replaced it with a floor-model Samsung 43" 4K LED Smart TV. Granted, I had to adapt the DP output on my lab computer with one of those DP-HDMI adapters so...
