HEMA is huge around these parts

If you ever had a plastic sword as a kid and waved it around, this will appeal to you in a big way haha

All good Scott, failure is always an option

Junior sys-admin, or something similar. I do extremely well in unstructured environments (SMB) where job titles are more or less meaningless and you're just the guy who fixes broken stuff.

I am the guy you tell "hey, that thing over there is broken, bet you can't fix it" and then walk away. My eye is twitching at the thought hahah.

Try replacing the fiber - that shit breaks so easily and I'm guessing the Doc isn't familiar with using it

Very interesting

If you have access to an oscilloscope or a signal gen you could probe it out a bit further... very intrigued and I hope you let us know how it plays out!

@Brains Alright, well from what I remember I don't think chokes work that way - at least how you want it to in this instance. I will have to read up on them again to make sure I'm correct there!

Onwards; 180hz is super low and an odd one. 3rd harmonic of the 60hz powerline, no doubt that could be the source. Unusual to only see the harmonic though, do you also see 120 & 60? (60 should be a huge spike if it's AXT (alien cross talk) from a transformer or something nasty). You've already tried isolating it from outside noise and it sounds like you did a pretty good job of it.

Next up I'd look at the device it's self and read it's manual. I'm willing to bet it has internal filters for this kind of thing - if not I'm almost certain that it'll mention how to deal with AXT as it's such a sensitive device you won't be alone in having issues with interference.

Did some EE, still do for a hobby.

Having trouble figuring out what the actual problem is in your post - 180hz signal shouldn't be there? What should? How do you know it's 180hz?

Could you link to the products you're using? From below you didn't really give what model etc. I found these, but not sure.

Just closed a ticket.

User (based in my city) was visiting another city and chatting with the IT staff there. Casually mentions:

"oh, yeah, I haven't had a working LAN connection for about two weeks"

WHY YOU NO FILE TICKET TWO WEEKS AGO

We're on par, just finished my 2L Thermos

Good on them too, here's hoping 9 ahem 10 is solid

If you've ever sold stuff you'll be familiar with the "appliance" mind set - imagine yourself going to buy a dishwasher or something you don't give a toss about.
With Apple, it seems that they sell more on a lifestyle / design basis. Helps that they're typically expensive as well, this raises the bar for who can afford it and makes it a status symbol.
For Microsoft they really don't have any of that, they just make the "stuff" that lets your computer do stuff, y'know?

@lance Looks sweet man, but I promised myself long ago - no more non-standard keyboard layouts. Goes double for laptops; give me a proper keyboard layout or give me death!

@Mike-Ralston And off to purchase one! Thank you! :neckbeard:

@Mike-Ralston lol

how do you like the cherry red's and the RAT7? I was interested in the RAT7 for gaming but I have rather large hands, worried about pinky drag

@art_of_shred cheers man - I would miss the scroll wheel A LOT. May have to give it another crack though. You'd have thought someone would design a "superior" trackball by now!

Interesting related note

@art_of_shred How do you like the trackball? I had a lot of difficulty switching to the "cheater" one

No fellow trackball sufferers?
