I am going to test this Asus B550-Gaming ROG Strix motherboard. The person who gave it to me said the USB C or USB 3.0 ports stopped working. Its an AM4 board with two m.2 slots on it. I just need to pop in an AM4 CPU to test it. Would an A10 APU work on this board? If the motherboard is still working minus some USB ports, I'll put it up here. Unless someone wants it in its untested form...

AM4 A10 processor won't work on this board - they dropped BIOS support for these back in the X370/B350 days to support newer Ryzen processors and the X570/B550 NEVER supported them. Pretty much any AM4 Ryzen should work, though.

Note: Even though the early Ryzen boards supported the A10 processors, the board's features were hideously crippled when using them.

I'll take it if no one else has already claimed it.

Is this gone?

I tried to source an AM4 Ryzen to test the board. I decided to let it go untested it and the board goes to Chinese Stunna based on his account age and number of posts (and some other factors).

Requested strips.
 
Can't believe we have so many diabetics (me too!). Stay safe! aka avoid Krispy Kreme's 'Hot Doughnuts Now' sign. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Type 2. I have my test kit and my treadmill in the same room. 5 miles in the morning 3 days a week, 1 to 1.5 afternoons 3 days a week, sugar up, run a slow 20 minutes. Trying to avoid going to Type 1. I don't like Krispy Kreme but did anyone say Coconut cake?
 
Wife is Type 1 since early 20s. Got sick with a nasty Viral Infection that ended up killing here Pancreas.

Even with insurance it's a struggle sometimes having to worry about covering copays for Test Strips (OneTouch Verio), fast acting Insulin for meals/adjustments (Humolog), and long lasting Insulin (Lantus). In fact, we couldn't get her Humolog and Lantus that was due to refill yesterday because of low funds. Even with the "savings card" these Insulin mfg's offer it is still a struggle sometimes. And OneTouch doesn't even offer anything like that so...ugh!

Sorry to go off topic and rant is over lol!
 
I never knew how much tougher it was for you guys here. :( I had neuropathy show up when I was 35. Bones would hurt at night so bad it would wake me up, and then I'd drink 9 glasses of water back to back to back and pee it out in 30 minutes. My dad has a kidney specialist doctor buddy so I went to see him and we ran every test there is including a blood sample to the Mayo clinic--beside barely failing a glucose tolerance test it didn't make any sense. Finally, I got sick of the issues so just stopped eating everything except a bag of spinach--and my symptoms disappeared in two days. I completely adjusted my diet over the next 6 months and felt like I was 10 years younger. And luckily, I'm still able to keep okay with just diet changes. I'm very strict about what I eat. But man that sign reels me in like a bug to a bug light...and then zaps me just as hard. :ROFLMAO:
 
My contribution to the Type 2 diabetes line of conversation... If I could go back in time and tell my younger self what I know now, I would definitely have made different life choices. I have to take Metformin, Glipizide, Farxiga AND Ozempic. I have neuropathy in my feet (the pain kind, not the numb kind), my eyesight is awful and I have to get an injection in one of my eyes... Every. Frakking. Month.

I would have told my older self, "I'll drink to that" and had six more. I might have asked for stock tips before lighting up one kind of smoke or another. I am in the Metformin club myself. The exercise is hell but I have dropped my morning tests to very low.

I would have told myself to go easy on the Krispy Kremes and that it wasn't a competition to see who could eat a hot and fresh box first. I also would have told myself to stay away from carbs from an earlier age so I could have staved it off even longer where it might have hit me at 40 vs 35. But with a family history of diabetes on both sides of my family for 2 generations, I should have been better at seeing the writing on the wall when I was younger...
 
First generation iPad Air Wi-Fi model A1474 (from 2013 era). In good condition, sat in a case with a screen protector on it for most its life, but you can definitely feel the age of the processor and the number of incompatible apps that don't work on iOS 12 anymore.

However!

This iPad has an activation lock on it. It belonged to my ex originally. I had my iCloud associated with it, I removed the device from my iCloud, but to my surprise when I did a factory reset, it linked it to her info.

Whether you want this for parts or a chopping board, just pay shipping and its yours. Alternatively you can try reaching out to get them to remove it from their account, but YMMV.

Being that old they might unlock it without proof of purchase, but who knows with Apple.

Just submit through here:

Use the "Need additional support Start and Activation Lock Support Request" at the bottom.
 
Any chance someone has a triplicate of decently quick DDR3 laying around? I'm throwing together an X58 nostalgia build and RAM is the last thing on my checklist since I sold all mine years ago.

Edit: cheap 3x4GB 1866 kit popped up on eBay!
