Logitech has a great 2 speaker system that isn't tinny at all. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multimedia-speakers-z200

I ended up buying these. Holy cow are they big! I might have to rearrange my desk!

(sarcastically) Yeah those are very large monitors for a desk. .. lol

9" tall x 3" wide

Reminds me of an old tale....

How did the USA get the "imperial" system and why are their units different? Turns out it was originally called "fuck the imperial's system" and got shortened.

PS - plz make with metric

Eliminate some potential issues here

boot it from a usb stick with some flavour of linux

Pagers are still a thing in a lot of places. Super convenient as they run on AA batteries and generally last the better part of forever on a single one.

@momurda said in What to do with a bunch of 128GB M2 SSD:

@mattspeller These allow you to boot m.2 off sata interface instead of m.2? if your mobo doesnt support m.2 or NVME boot(pre 6th gen Intel)?

M2 isn't something it supports, that's just the form factor - like 2.5" vs 3.5" etc.

NVME boot is in the bios as an option - it's neat but not necessary (maybe for the PCIe ones?)

PCIe VS SATA is what we're concerned about here - all my M2 SSDs are SATA based.

@dustinb3403 Here's hoping MS agree with you. Going to attempt to decline this generous "offer" of theirs. Will report back.

In the worse case, Microsoft comes and Audits your licensing for you!

Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Going home to label every breaker in my new apartment. I hear that's what the cool kids do

Are you throwing a breaker labeling party? With sensible footwear required and refreshments like ginger ale?

Whoa there, don't get carried away...

Seriously boned me for RDP compatibility until I researched it and realized that one VM wasn't getting updates since January. So at least I got that fixed?

Off to a cracking good start this morning ML. Posts are coming far faster than I can read them.

For home and business purposes I only buy Samsung. Got burned by some other brands and some no name brands before, ain't worth the time or my sanity.

Cool, I had not noticed it being that busy.

Perhaps it's me, I dont often indulge much past 930am until the afternoon

Glances is nice:

Major nostalgia for monochromatic monitors

Put my coffee on the roof of my car to get out, it fell, boiling milk laden deliciousness went down my jeans and filled my shoe. I have a morning full of critical appointments and I'm going to smell like sour milk. Delightful. I think a half day is in order.

Morning all,

I've got a travelling staff member in urgent need of a 120w dell laptop charger in the north end of Dallas Texas. Anyone got some ideas?

@thwr I like the new LED's, are they some kind of grommet you put over top of the LED?

And we've got this sorted! Thank you Scott for a prompt reply.

@thwr Wow those are nice!!! Good find!
