    Yah, I believe I had a similar setup. Only that they decided to get me Win 98 with it, not even XP.

    Why 98? I got it with XP. I used to format the system everymonth and reinstall the OS, to increase the PERFORMANCE.. 🤣🤣

    Yah, remember the time, we used to measure a PC's performance based on the number of times the XP loading bar moved before desktop loaded?

    Oh yeah. I spent most of the time tuning the PC than using it. Funny days.. :p

    Remember the application - SpeedumyPC and bviously, RAM Downloader?!! :lol:

    Ha ha I remembered them all. And the flashy gif ads on websites with Download Ram ...

    Missing downloading more RAM now. 🤣🤣

    LOL! How many times have we been fooled by that.

    Ha ha. Somehow I never fell for that though. I was mad for PCs at that time and read a lot about them. I've been reading about computers since 98 iirc, even though I don't have a computer. I love computers.

    Not for the RAM Downloader. Oh no, never fell for that. But, I did fall for SpeedupmyPC.

    Those are sweet memories.

    The only thing Windows still keeping from those days is the BSOD.

    :lol: And, the thing is they did virtually nothing to fix those BSODs. Instead what'd they do? Redesigned the BSOD page.

    atleast its not the same BSOD anymore!

    LOL! Youa re right. The new design makes it look less threatening and scary :lol:

    BSOD is light heart attack anyway..

    Oh yeah, especially when you have something important going on.

    They happen only when we have important work.

    Oh yes. Interestingly, similar amount of work doesn't cause a kernel panic on Linux.

    Linux kernel is solid..

    Wish Windows learned something from Linux.

    Thats what they get for doing it on their own. Still pretty good regardless. Linux has some open source benefit

    Anyone hoping for the laptop needs to grab it from him, but, he's extremely competitive and that's understandable.

    I'm here.

    Go for it then..

    Let's go go for it don't give up

    Anybody who gave up- too soon. Take xpress' example. Learn from him.

    He's on the lappy again?

    Have one month to catch up..

    Indeed, people might not give in.

    You'll see more people join after holidays.

    Yah, that's what I am hoping for.

    just want to see how much this party can grow? Not crazy enough for you eh?

    Hell yeah. I want a lot more people to join in.

    Imagine a world where we hit an entire page on each refresh. How many people do you think that would take?

    Atleast 20-30 active peeps Ig.

    How was your Christmas everyone?

    Completed the debugging of my projects

    Seems like a good use of christmas!

    I think so as well.

    So ready to launch mystery?

    A lil bit of debugging left. On it right now.

    Backend? what languages you are using?

    PHP, always. Too dumb to go for Python.

    Php is great for web. I use it for work.

    What framework/cms you are using?

    For the blog, WordPress. No other frameworks, just plain old PHP.

    Rocking wordpress.. kk. go.

    My favourite CMS. The customisability is what I love the most about them.

    Yup, and they have big ecosystem too. So good choice.

    Yup, a strong community means great plugins.

    It is.. thats the main strong point of wordpress. There is millions of busines around it..

    Oh yah. I believe a vast majority of the internet is WP.

    I wonder what the stat is.. wouldnt be surprised if its past 70 or 80%...

    Am i that much behind? :o

    No, pardon me if I gave that impression. I was just talking about your spirit. Nothing can stop you from reaching that laptop, despite your busy schedule.

    He's a professional at this, so he knows slow and steady wins the race.

    I am like retired professional competing with young guys.. 🤣

    Retiree making a re-entry. Cue music.

    A tough hurdle to make but rewarding at that.

    Oh yes, it's gonna be rewarding for anybody.

    Those guys that win the laptop better appreciate it! Its a very genrous gift indeed! Even the backpacks towards the bottom would be a great reward

    Oh yah, everything is a blessing on the RackNerd threads. Cherish em.

    I do a lot of router mods, let me know if you ever need assistance.

    I need some advice on OpenWrt on my Netgear 7500v1

    Ooooh, HMU on Discord and I got you. I can't maintain a proper conversation on that topic here with all the noise.

    Go go go no openwrt for xpress

    Ha ha. Already installed and running it. Just need some suggested config..

    Install transmission and do torrent

    Had it on NAS. Removed after one drive died. Always felt the Transmission was the reason for my drive failrue in the wdcloud.

    I doubt it was due to transmission, can be something else entirely hard to figure out....

    Entirely possible depending on the amount of torrents running, they're extremely heavy in I/O operations. This is made worse by running it on a SOHO router.

    Sad then. I killed my drive and data with my own hands. :(

    Is the drive actually dead? Or just the controller in the USB enclosure?

    Well, SMART showed errors, and then WD clodu showed drive error. And also if I put it in NAS bay, it is making some weird noises.

    I removed it and runninig with only 1 drive now.

    Ah, if you tried it outside of the enclosure you can rule out the controller. Bummer.

    I didn't. I don't have 3.5inch enclosures.

    But I did try swapping both disks , and the same disk showed same error..

    have a friend you can borrow one from? If its dead anyway maybe try a format just to get a complete state reset

    TrK got his sleep? Or going to sleep

    He slept?

    Most prolly. He is known to be a night owl.

    He didn't sleep the entire night.

    Yup, pulling an all-nighter is tough. Did that last year.

    Not good for health though. Did it couple of days last year on some project. Got sick after few days.

    Yah, at times you get so damn used to it, that you become delusional about it being perfectly healthy. Most of the times, it's not.

    I slept like 2 hours a day for an entire week. :(

    I have done that during exams.

    This is triggering PTSD flashbacks. That period of time was nearly erased from memory

    LOL! Somehow, I would love to go back to those days.

    True i guess that was much less worrysome than the real world

    Yah, what I'd give for the old days!

    Get a game like GTA 5 if you plan on playing a game for a long time. Since it has a huge map and everything, should keep you satisfied for atelast an year, if you don't spend a major portion of the day just for it.

    Will think of it, based on what I win. But I'll definitely buy the Witcher one.. or Red Dead may be if witcher 4 getting too late.

    Alright, or as someone else recommended, just get PS Plus sub.

    Will definitely think , but first I have to win.. lots of time left..

    i think you got this xpress, i got your back too, telly for lappy, lets do this!

    This most probably means an issue with the little hand like things that actually read the data on the platter. Sometimes, replacing them fix the issue, at other times, you might actually have to replace the BIOS chip and write the old data to this one.

    Any tutorials or vids available abou this?

    youtube should be a good resource for this. Maybe medium has some as well

    May your concentration be equally divided between work and the thread

    But keep your priorties where they are most important! Do not waver

    Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop? :p

    Babe its to gift our beloved xpress. B)

    :D

    You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix. :p

    Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

    If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

    What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it? :p

    Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare. :'(

    It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

    I am bad at hardware soldered hardware.

    Me as well. I try to stay away as much as possible, but recently I have taken an interest to it

    Its really satisfying. gives you a taste of how things work at an even finer level

    Moreover, hardware nowadays is sturdier. So, you have to be extremely inexperienced or careless to cause irreversible damage.

    Thats true but for some reason it seems like my laptops want to break if i breath on them

    Funny thing is I am on a diet right now.

    Its ok to break it every once in a while. Treat yourself!

    Unfortunately, I break it every 7 days in a week :lol:

    well not much of a diet then eh? Thats ok!

    It looks like Trk had other things to say about that ;) You are still pretty high up there though!

    What did he say, maybe I missed it.

    I do a lot of router mods, let me know if you ever need assistance.

    I need some advice on OpenWrt on my Netgear 7500v1

    Ooooh, HMU on Discord and I got you. I can't maintain a proper conversation on that topic here with all the noise.

    Go go go no openwrt for xpress

    Ha ha. Already installed and running it. Just need some suggested config..

    Install transmission and do torrent

    Had it on NAS. Removed after one drive died. Always felt the Transmission was the reason for my drive failrue in the wdcloud.

    I doubt it was due to transmission, can be something else entirely hard to figure out....

    Entirely possible depending on the amount of torrents running, they're extremely heavy in I/O operations. This is made worse by running it on a SOHO router.

    Sad then. I killed my drive and data with my own hands. :(

    Is the drive actually dead? Or just the controller in the USB enclosure?

    Well, SMART showed errors, and then WD clodu showed drive error. And also if I put it in NAS bay, it is making some weird noises.

    I removed it and runninig with only 1 drive now.

    This most probably means an issue with the little hand like things that actually read the data on the platter. Sometimes, replacing them fix the issue, at other times, you might actually have to replace the BIOS chip and write the old data to this one.

    Any tutorials or vids available abou this?

    Opening the drive to replace the head without a professional clean room is never advised unless it is for data recovery before retiring the drive. An issue with the drive controller board, while rare, is possible, but rather tricky as well as you need an exact match replacement. Being able to dump the nand from the original board and writing it to the replacement is almost always required unless you get lucky.

    These are all data recovery methods, not "keep the drive working for further use" methods.

    If its dead already though, theres not too mucht o lose and could be fun experiment
