Yeah it's practically almost new. It was unused for 12 of the last 13 years, put away in a box. Intel's P series chipsets at the time did not support video out, they were 'Performance' oriented and you would've had an add-in graphics card for this kind of system...

The switch would need to be bypassed, or made 'dummy' as the electricians say in their speak/lingo. So the socket is always powered on and you would control your appliance through the wifi-plug's app or the switch that's on the smartplug itself. Does it need to be wifi controller/connected...

. One of my retired Proxmox nodes that I kind of forgot about. I found the motherboard at a dealer some years ago in a random box, they forgot they had it and it sat unsold for nearly ten years. It was unsold because the P67 chipset does not have any circuitry/connectors for video output, so...

That was me for all of my life up until now. I don't really need any of this, but it's nice to have and gives me something to fixate on while I'm trying hard not to think of pizzas or cheesecakes. I might have needed a screwdriver in just two situations in the last five years, and both times I...

Purchase from both in February, received one in March and the other in April. Uniquebud: https://techenclave.com/goto/post?id=2517260 Uniqkart: https://techenclave.com/goto/post?id=2521623

If you're using the 20W Apple charger that the iPad came with then it's probably not the issue here. Apple chargers are manufactured to very high standards and it doesn't seem plausible that they would be susceptible to electrical inference or noise. However it does make sense that they would...

Try plugging in a socket tester to check for neutral and/or earth leakage. I've seen this behaviour in recent months where we'd have all three phases but no neutral. I don't fully understand how mains AC is supposed to work but we had things work without neutral and other things that wouldn't work.

Both the GM1 and GM5 have become highly desirable in recent years despite being so old. Cameras of that era are fun toys, but sensor technology has improved so markedly that I'd recommend something newer. The Sony a6100 is available new but is deeper than either the GM5 or GX85. It also weighs...

Ha, one of the things I experienced when I returned to India after a few years abroad is that questions aren't viewed as a sign of curiosity, they're often viewed as accusations. Broadly speaking, there are two paths where a homelab takes you or where you go with it. They both start with a...

In the case of components that have electrolytic capacitors (graphics cards, motherboards), age is a factor to consider. Anything over five years is pretty much end-of-life and well out of warranty so I wouldn't consider purchasing them unless if they're liquidations (hardware used by...

Woo, we have a EDC thread — awesome! I recently tipped past a BMI of 40 and relatives have told me that I closely resemble a small whale so I've started going out on random photo walks. That has now sparked an interest into this 'hobby' so here I am. I've been aware of the 'edc lifestyle' for...

Sold! Thanks for the interest everyone.

This is one of my test benches, it's a little temperamental. Memory is detected in only one slot with this processor (untested with other processors). BIOS has been flashed with a proprietary OEM version that disables HDMI/DVI so only VGA works. The 'power on after power loss' option in BIOS...

Which laptop, what OS? It varies. There was a bug with some laptops and some versions of Windows 10 & 11 that drained the battery completely either overnight or over the course of a week. A few tech channels covered it: This is called battery calibration and ideally it should be done once a...

Placed order on 23rd February, recieved it today on April 21st. I had emailed them on the 4th of April, asking for an update. They replied in a few hours saying there's been customs clearance delays. Delivery was done by Delhivery, it was sent out two days ago. When you're placing an order...

As everything IOT races to the bottom, that looks like a steep price considering the components. A 2 channel module from Tinxy is 850 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.in/Tinxy-Smart-Switch-Compatible-Google/dp/B08QF5WVN2/ And there's information on how to flash Tasmota/ESPHome on their forums...

Is this a forum member? If this person does not have a reseller badge on the forum, walk away from the deal.

No, it'll be fine. The adapter is rated for 2 amps. I've used others like it to power low power PCs, they're mature but low cost designs.
