    PC Peripherals UPS power consumption when idle

    It is a mikrotek legend 1000 which their website says is a line-interactive ups and its same tech as the apc backups pro. So, I guess it could really just be poor design.

    PC Peripherals UPS power consumption when idle

    I recently got hold of a power meter and some of the readings have surprised me. I have a 2yr old microtek 1000VA UPS. With no load connected and powered off it still consumes around 14.7W. So that's around Rs. 900 of overhead per year. I also have an APC Back UPS Pro 1000VA (atleast 8 yr old...

    Can you share the exact serial number on the device and the number of ram chips on top of it and whether it is single sided or double sided ? Last year, I've ordered the 8GB Crucial 2666Mhz ram module to verify. It worked. Then I ordered another one from the page & same seller, but Crucial...

    I was looking for a standing desk a while back and almost bought a desk from Ikea. Lot of complaints about wobbling was the showstopper. I'm not sure if its just a limitation of standing desks design or issue with that particular model but, if you are planning to keep atleast four monitors...

    Managing ernormous personal Photos/Videos and automating on PC/Android/NAS

    For organization, my advice is to keep it low-tech initially. Maintain original media in simple per folder per device and within that keep the same structure as what the device uses. Think hard about your preferred access patterns and make a note. Then create (hard or soft depending on access)...

    Budget 0-20k Need help in Home Server PC

    Thanks and sorry, I meant Value For Money. For some reason i5-6500T seems to be the most common processor among the refurbished mini pcs. Will probably settle for the same if it turns out to be too much hassle to find the next gen.

    How do you download torrents anonymously?

    Which service do you use for the seedbox? I think seedboxes also do not give true anonymity because it can directly lead to an individual via the payment method. I guess if someone wants to come after torrent users, they will find a way depending on how motivated they are.
