Use it for a firewall / router, but don’t bother with WiFi. There are no antenna connectors, so it probably doesn’t have a card installed and normal WiFi cards make terrible access points anyways.

If you want to use OPNsense, make sure the NICs are supported. If it has Realtek NICs, you will probably have to use a Linux based firewall.

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock. I never see any ads on youtube.

They should just cut off all service to the UK and show a message with the contact information for everyone that wants the back door.

You know not to trust that site with any more information. Once the alias is deleted, anything sent to it will result in a delivery failure and you won’t get any more spam from anyone they sold that address to.

If your mail server supports aliases, you can make one for each site you sign up for. Then if you start getting a bunch of spam, you can delete the alias and you will know which site sold your information.

Some TLDs that are well known for spam get blocked. If you stick with a .com, you will usually be fine if you are using a decent mail server.

Tapes are how you back up large amounts of data. A small tape robot can handle petabytes.

A used SAS card can be found on ebay for $20-$30. You just need a PC with an open 8 lane PCIe slot and a few drive bays. An older 6gbps card is fine for a few mechanical hard drives.

Is your GPU reducing the VRAM frequency when it’s idle?

If the vertical timing is different between the monitors, the VRAM will have to run at maximum speed all the time and that can add 20 watts or more to your idle power consumption.

TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it’s input shouldn’t exist.

Sony decided to put rootkits on their CDs to stop people from ripping them. They got sued for that.

Sometimes that works, it depends on how the server is set up. For DNS blocking, you just switch to a different DNS server or run your own DNS resolver.

It would have to be a very old version of Minecraft. The recent ones take a lot of CPU power and RAM, even without mods.

It would probably work great for something like a Quake III or Unreal Tournament server though.

I just store all of the CAD files in a directory. I don’t keep any of the STL files or gcode. I probably should organize the files better, it’s getting to be a mess.

So can you run sudo rm -rf C: to remove the malware now?

The main use for VPN services is torrenting without getting nasty letters from your ISP.

Sometimes one or two just don’t have enough channels. The bottom one doesn’t look like a scope though. It may be a spectrum analyzer, but it’s hard to see.

Try booting from a live disk. If it works there, it’s probably an update or config change that’s causing problems.

Just putting the products in a locked case is enough to get me to shop elsewhere.

I would suggest building a PC with a Ryzen 7800X3D or a 9800X3D if you can find one in stock and an RX 7800 XT GPU.
Prebuilt desktops are really overpriced if you want something high end and there is very little customization available.
