LSI cards are generally easy to switch to IT mode. You should be able to find a guide on servethehome.com for your model.

This, but if you already have a SAS card in RAID mode you might be able to flash IT (AKA HBA) mode firmware instead of buying a new card.

Also, SAS cables fit SATA drives, but not vice versa. So no need to buy new cables.

Yeah, the form factor, HDMI-CEC support, and integration with other valve hardware are what really sell it. But it’s not going to be underpriced for the specs, like consoles tend to be.

RAM costs will likely affect both custom built machines and the steam machine equally.

Valve already announced it will be priced similarly to a PC you build yourself.

I’m just being realistic. Some companies will fire you over this, at it will be “for cause” so you won’t even be eligible for unemployment. If you can afford to lose your job, you can afford to buy your own phone for personal use. But if you want to take that risk, I won’t stop you.

Again, someone who knows nothing about the OS.

This has nothing to do with the way the OS works, and everything to do with corporate policy. This would be against the IT policy at most companies, and circumventing their ability to remotely manage the device could easily get you fired.

Do you really think it’s a good idea to install an unofficial OS on a device your employer owns without their permission?

I’m disappointed by the lack of Whose Line Is It Anyway references in this thread :(

If it’s your feature branch, just revert his commits (or reset the remote branch to your local branch)? Not sure why a feature branch would be shared between devs…

Both decks of the bus follow the same [code] path. That’s a lot more like increasing the buffer size.

Birds aren’t real.

Please stop trying to explain it to me.

I never understand people rejecting free feedback on social media posts.

Product owner is responsible for making sure the product meets customer needs. Project manager is responsible for making sure the project is completed on time and meets the requirements that are defined by the PO.

Not if it’s for oil based paints.

Did you know you can be exposed to other cultures without leaving the country? You did a good job of pointing out why travel alone doesn’t make people more open minded, but you didn’t touch on the opportunities Americans have to connect with other cultures without leaving their own country.

Very high latency, though. Great for some use cases, useless for others.

Ruby is brittle, and if your hotend crashes into the bed due to bad settings, broken ABL, etc it might break. That’s just based on what I read when I was considering buying one, I don’t have any first hand experience.

Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.
