Oh good spot, it doesn't have any displayport at all. That's unfortunate.

Because these use 4x 24Gbit chips, and 32Gbit chips do not exist^1. So you'd need to use 8x 16Gbit chips to get 16GByte RAM. View it as a…

Just about all the specs are much higher. 256 MB RAM and 128 MB flash can be limiting on the Xiaomi, while the GL.iNet has 1 GB RAM and 8…

Sure you can. It may be a bit fiddly but OpenWrt is fully capable of VLAN tagging the WAN interface.

I'd take the i5-9500 over the i7-7700T easily. Keep in mind that 7th gen is not officially supported by Win11, and Win10 EoL is in a year.…

Gotta learn somewhere. At least you're not out much if you break this, it's cheaper than a new motherboard.

> those 2x ports on the case are limited to USB 3.2 Gen 2. From what I've read - that's really only USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 Er, no. Gen 2 is the…

You need minimum two, preferably more, copies. Preferably one stored off-site. Because no matter the brand, model or technology, failures…

Just set it up to update overnight and leave it running. They don't really use much power idle (especially in a commercial context).

> Technically you can plug an adapter into an mSATA socket and use an M.2 SATA drive. But it requires the space around it to do it. Yea, I…

Oh, that's interesting. Can @untech confirm what storage interfaces are available?

The spec sheet says it's a mSATA drive, so attempting to add storage would be interesting. I wonder if it has enough space to fit a M.2…

In case you're serious: the CPU is unsupported, and while you could probably technically install it (for now), the HDD would make the whole…

I'm actually debating replacing my Octoprint server that's running on an Orange Pi Zero and an SD card, so it doesn't really matter there!…

You should have two of those cables. Check the box your PSU came in for the second one. Those splitters are ... eh. Some are pretty dodgy…

There's also the mini with a i5-4590T & HDD for $17 less ($61.62): https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186456961440 Might be a bit more…

Mine has had me on a 10th-gen laptop since they decided desktops aren't necessary (:(), but at this point I've given up and chucked…

Fair enough, that's more than I'd thought, and I'd missed that this chip has a higher cTDP, which does allow for more raw performance. Oh,…

CPU - not much. The uarch didn't change all that much until 12th gen. However, this laptop would contain a significantly better iGPU. Still…

> Generally don't use off-brand cables to connect directly to your PSU. To add to that, different PSUs can use different pinouts even for…

Your PSU spec sheet says "6 x SATA connector ("300mm / 220mm / 100mm" x 2)" What happened to the other 3 connectors? They should be on a…

I got [this other one](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/840790) a bit ago, for $315. * The CPUs aren't appreciably different. * The other…

They'll work as basic Bluetooth headphones (including ANC) but the companion app won't work. You'll need an Android or Windows device to…

The problem is you can't just have any VOIP number (DID), you need a mobile one specifically for SMS to work. So where a local 02 number…

What I ended up doing was mounting my old motherboard (when I upgraded) in a new case. Had to find a case with enough drive bays though,…

There are some M.2 PCIe => SATA controllers with up to 6 ports, but then you would have to deal with having the drives external (and all…

$72/yr?

Hm, how long do you expect to keep that phone for? Most new phones are now dual-SIM (eSIM at least) which means you can use the [Amaysim…

> want the Kogan returns / warranty support Did I miss a memo? Is this considered a good thing now?

Unfortunately none of the Lenovo models listed for sale on their site has all of: xx40 CPU, no dGPU, and SODIMM RAM. You'll notice that the…
