Rudi on the line here. I like all tech things: computers, gaming, stereo, programming etc. Sometimes I find time to work on cars. I really like cars. Sometimes I just like to talk about life. When I'm bored I either build or break stuff. It's a simple life.

"Global IT Outage" affecting Windows PCs? When will Microsoft learn?
Переглядів 291Місяць тому
Just saw this news flying by on Twitter and wanted to jump on the bandwagon BECAUSE I fall victim to this same BS on a weekly basis, but luckily on a much smaller scale. Microsoft software is no longer fit for professional and/or commercial use and it's time that companies start recognising this. #microsoftfail #globalitoutage #crowdstrike
Upcycling Old Commercial Speakers to Modern Wall Speakers
Переглядів 298Місяць тому
These NEC/SEAS commercial speakers have been sitting in my office for about 3 months now. I've tested them out a few times and they sound great for how compact and simple they are - a single full range driver in a ported cabinet. They're designed to be attached to the sides of an NEC commercial display, but I'm simplifying them to something that will hang by a single screw to blend into its env...

Linux and Mac both get "so vcall BLue Screen" they are not blue they are different in color take it from one who knows have to have reinstalled Linux Red hat and ubuntu as many as 6 times a day every day for weeks on end for bad Drivers up date just installing a program causing crashes and so on .
Thanks for confirming. Follow up video to follow when I experience it for myself.
I was interested until I heard how low you had your audio compared to EVERYONE ELSE. Then I decided that it wasn't a video worth watching if you couldn't take 2 minutes to normalize the audio. I'm just going to remove this channel from recommendations completely, so I never have to deal with you again, mumbles. Maybe youtube videos isn't your thing.
It's low so you listen more closely...
You obviously jumped on the bandwagon to vilify MS, but CrowdStrike already KO'd Apple and Linux (Red Hat) devices a few months back so there is a major quality problem with the CrowdStrike. The real issue was the lack of staggered rollouts and the lack of any contingency planning for a domain wide outage like this from CrowdStrike, as they roll out time critical updates as threats are detected which as a SysOp can not be expect to do rollout tests every fifteen minutes (or less). I have been involved in disaster management, and there is no realistic way to bring back remote end users quickly unless they return to office and does not matter which OS and yes, I have had KO'd Apple devices that I had to take to Apple to get fixed because of failed updates. As to taking out Windows, welcome to the world of malware and why MS is moving to a trusted virtualised environments in Windows 11 but of course people hate MS because it requires new hardware. For end points like kiosks you should be using Windows embedded or now Windows IoT, which you can control updates and all enterprises should be using Intune and WSUS for updating their assets but WSUS only supports MS software and OEM provided drivers, The case and usage cases for Windows is totally different in many situations from Linux and Linux has had several severe major security concerns in recent months, of which some have been root level escalation. So feel free to bash MS but educate yourself, if the user does not use the tools given to them by MS and fail to validate third party software then you will have issues like this, and in the end despite the wide outages MS said only around 8m assets was affected, around 1% of Windows installs. It comes down to this, what was MS supposed to do here? They can't offer a bypass option as that would be quickly subverted by malware so the system Kernel did the correct thing; shutdown when it detected a fail condition. Maybe not the most elegant way but it does mean the system is in a secure condition. Even Linux allows limited Kernel-Mode modules that Torvald heavily monitors and restricts like MS does. I have worked with various *nix environments from SCO to modern day flavours of Linux, and it is a matter of choosing the tool for the job. Could have Linux done better here? Maybe, but if they are running anti-virus software like this then they are just as vulnerable to this kind of failure and lack of SysOp management tools makes deploying *nix rigs a nightmare for end users unlike data centre servers, and I have deployed thousands of Linux workstations in which I have had to write Bash scripts to do configuration changes remotely where as I can click a few things in Intune or Active Directory and do it easier and faster. This last point is what makes MS so dominant, and until Linux drops the smug attitudes and start to offer tools that can give the same ease of use as MS and not forcing admins to remember archaic command line instructions or write Bash scripts, and time is money especially if you are supporting several thousand end users, then it will never gain traction. Period.
looks like a mix of dust and oxidatiion?
A little oxidation, a pinch of dust and a few drops of some sort of lubricant I'm guessing was used as a water displacer. The SSD was also covered in the same "lube" - got it working though after a cleanup.
@@RudiOnTheLine Are there any thermal pads in the unit? Thermal pads are known to sometimes leak a sort of oily liquid.
AHH could be that. There is one thermal pad in contact with the SSD, explains why that was most covered.
Great Explanation! Are you using the Protect? If so any experience or learnings. I am trying to get the Cloudkey for just protect as I have the Gateway Ultra recently installed and then taught of getting few of their cameras. Thanks
I don't use it anymore (because I don't have a need for it currently) but I used to have a Protect CCTV system at my old office and many of my clients have Protect systems that mostly rely on the CloudKey Gen2+. Some are still on the original CloudKey and a few are using Dream Machines. The Protect cameras and app is really good and easy to use. Just be sure to get the cameras with all the features you require.
Part 2 will follow in a couple of weeks once I've decided on a colour... because just spraying them black again won't be as exciting. And we need a contrasting colour against the black grilles. Comment below what colours I should consider... go!
I understand the usage but seriously. Isn't it the same if you take the ratchet off and use the long extension tube that is already attached to the screw with your hands to screw it? If I'm wrong, let me know it, cuz I'm not understanding the real benefit of that spin disk
It's supposed to be a thing of convenience, while whatever you're tightening is still very loose, rather than having to spin the ratchet it gives you an easy grip to spin the shaft faster with minimal effort.
@RudiOnTheLine yeah but if you do it without the little blue spin disk, take out the ratchet and only left the extension, now, try to twist with your hands, actually, you only need a hand and just roll it. There is no effort in that action and the result will be the same than using that unuseful thing but with fewer steps. So far you video gave me an answer about what was that created for, even though, I can't see the benefit. That's why no one use it I think. Thx for responding. Great video
I love u (the other way)

Thank you!
If you like music enough to build your own speakers, why are you listening to EDM?
I listen to everything. Music is music. Yes some music is terrible. Some, brilliant. In fact, some of the worst sounding music is used for testing speaker capabilities, but hey ho.
This is the truth! There will never be a perfect time. Taking action is better than perfection.
Action + Consistency > Procrastination + Perfection
i do have a good listening room with a lot of space where i have my records cds, reels, dat cassettes, cassettes and minidics, the arcam i experienced was not what i expected but in a regular living room it can´t show it´s quality but not that high quality ,just average and i tried a lot of diferent speakers and a friend who had bought it ,after amaybe 12 years the amp. was not looking that good. i had bought a Sony integrated amplifier that for some reason only in the U.K and Portugal was sold like it is in other countries had not half of it´s quality but only to say that sony as lot´s of problems but this amp. the TA-F690ES is incredible good with two transformers and huge capaciteurs, and the arcam can´t come close of the Sony quality (i feel strange when i associate Sony to quality) but it´s true ,the cd player and the cassette and DAT deck might had stoped in a short +period of time but in amplifiers sony shows it´s quality (BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!)again that feeling but in 1982 i also bought a Es amplifier, a pre-amp. some huge speaskers and a turntable , deck i had just bought my first Dragon and it sounded very good this expensive Sony System, but only the power amp. survived and the speakers ,all others went to hell on the back of the Dragon and some say it´s good, well in the first month i was happy with it, but the summer came and after it was already vibrating a lot as the plastic parts in the play system of this so well engeniered deck,melted givin`it a vibration sound ,to end they do warm up in colder countries. but here am i drifting ,the arcam delta or not wasn´t a good option by the price asked ,i opened it and what i saw inside wasn´t nothing that surprised me
I hear what you're saying about the ARCAM, but the Alpha series amps were their entry-level "budget friendly" amplifiers. They're not massively powerful and should be paired with relatively small speakers. In cosy spaces it sounds really good, but I think it'll struggle filling a large or decent listening room. I've not had any experience with older Sony equipment, but judging by the value they hold I can believe 80s and 90s Sony amps are good.
Permissions related I think. The SQL account you're using for $conn doesn't have access to the g_users table. Some important advice: having errors appear in a production environment is VERY bad. One particular type of SQL error in PHP causes the DB account name and password to appear, so I would strongly suggest you turn PHP errors off in this environment or make it no longer publicly accessible.
Thanks for the input. I've not looked at this project for a few months now because of other work. But when I turn back to it I'll keep that in mind.
No need to crack it prior to boiling
I tried both, the pre-boil crack does make the peeling stage easier. Even if just marginally.
These chickens only lay brown eggs..
Very cool board and there are some people who believe you get better sound from PCBs that do not have any straight tracks. I have a mate that used to have an Alpha 9 amplifier and CD combo and it was a lovely combo!
Yes I've heard this as well - I studied Electronics Engineering at Uni and all the old -school professors used to say the best performing PCBs had flowing tracks instead of these modern city map style computer driven designs.
You want to hold the camera straight. I can't watch it. It's making me feel sick.
My apologies. I'll have stern talking with the camera man.
Cheapskate!
Oo burn
Sounds like ground hum, maybe its having a ground loop through the power cable grounding pin? That could explain why it's gone once connected to a source. Oh and btw, those missing knobs are a huge penalty in terms of value... they look like your typical black cylindrical knobs, so you might be able to find some generic ones that fit on there.
I've sourced some equally sized knobs, although knurled with a white marker (instead of blue) from AliExpress. Video to follow. Also, a lot of the hum seemed to be coming from the USB DAC I have... turns out when you move the mouse or when the GPU fan kicks in the noise gets worse. More to follow in another video.
@@RudiOnTheLine Oh god, that probably means noise is coming from the shielding of the USB cable, because USB shielding is connected to ground. You could try interrupting the shielding on a short USB extension cable and connect it in between the USB DAC and PC. However, it indicates a bad DAC design; it should have one of those miniature isolation transformers at the inputs in order to interrupt ground loops. Some DACs have a "ground lift" function though, in that case you should try to enable that.
@@RudiOnTheLine Oh and if the amp has a grounding post (those typically found on phono inputs), you could try connecting that to the case of the PC... it could have the opposite effect though and make it even louder... trial and error.
It's got no remote and no DAC, and no knobs, and no power-cord. and it looks pretty rough. Maybe $60? Not a lot of profit there.
These amps operate without a remote, power cords are a dime a dozen and no DAC needed if you've got an analog audio source. The looking pretty rough part I can't help, that's going to take elbow grease.
No remote, no dac, no powercord... Do i hear a Millennial talking?

Here's one: Not every missed opportunity is the worst case. Some have negative results so you're better off for having missed it.
I invite you to islam it wont make your problems go away but it will make you cope with them happily
No thank you. I'm not one for man-made religions. All the god-fearing prayer and sodomy doesn't seem right.
The best advice i ever got. If you are a worrier If you like to control, we all do to some extent. Worry about the things you can control and forget the things you cant control.
Yea, I agree. No point worrying about what you cannot control. However, one does worry a lot when something one cannot control can also negatively affect your family.
@@RudiOnTheLine going through similar too. Cancer diagnosis on both my dad and father in law. We can't control these types of unfortunate health issues, however, we can control what time we have left to spend with them.
Bro I had that once I sold my bmx to a mom who kept spamming me guilt tripping me like "my son is very excited please don't rob him of his innocence and his hope in the world" "my sons Is sooo excited for the bike don't ruin his birthday" "my son blahblahblah" I had already sent the phucking bike in the mail so she was just guiltripping me after I literally completed my part of the deal and she couldn't phucking wait for the delivery service to get it to her. Literally just why? If I hadn't already sent the bike I would've cancelled it and sent the money back what a kunt trying to emotionally manipulate me using her son looking forward to the bike for literally no reason
Not rude its 7:30am if it was 4 or 5 am i would understand but its not most jobs are just starting to open up at that time if not already open.

I was screwed sending something over three thousand U.S dollars and the buyer swapped items with a broken one and demanded a refund and it was on the account i had no way to cash out after 30 days and i was forced to refund no options never selling on ebay again now in person like offer up or craigslist pay in paypal or cashapp because people like to use fake cash.
imagine finding a way to get pissed about making over $2000

Form is a little shitty, I know, but at this weight you do what you got to do. In all fairness, up to around 90kg, my form is spot on (in my mind anyway)
Why in the world did you put a 200 thing on it
Sorry I'm a bit lost as to what you mean by "a 200 thing". And on what?
@RudiOnTheLine like if it don't hit a certain price it don't sell...like you knew it was worth 700 so I'm lost lol
Ahh, a reserve. Yes, that would make sense. But it also didn't cost me anything, so I was willing to gamble.
Yeah they are very rude
The one that gets me is when you've sold something listed as faulty and then they want a refund because of said defect... unbelievable!
So about 4.2 seconds better than stock pretty impressive! Stock is 17.2 0-60

nice sales on eBay wish i could see such numbers , and yes moving house is so bloody stressful but you seem like a very strong minded person, looking forward to seeing your progress
Thank you, I appreciate the word of encouragement. I didn't cover a few refunds that I've had to make recently due to buyers either not reading descriptions or not understanding what they're buying. So that's had a negative effect on the finances. But I shall power on!
now i know whats the purpose of this thing that been boggling me for quite some time now. hahaha thank you
