hey need a laptop for my son for school. so lame. doesnt seem to matter what it is, basically 7" or bigger and 6 hours battery chromebooks seem like the best bang for buck, not paying extra for windows and macs are way outta the budget for a laptop thats gonna be in a school backpack for years can anyone give any general advice? like "this brand is terrible" or "this brand is the best"?

eh maybe I ended up getting a lenovo 300e gen2. $409 tbh I'm quite impressed by it. it folds into a tablet. is got touch screen its more like an android laptop really. I assumed it only ran chrome but it can run android apps too being inherently cloud only does have benefits in a way I suppose Dodoman posted:My nephew's (in NZ) school is giving (well... the parents still have to pay for it) them chromebooks next year, so I think it'll be enough for school work and watching youtube. basically google docs kinda poo poo. slideshows. writing. honestly I don't agree with bring your own device poo poo but thats the horrible world we live in

chromebooks are nice vanilla linux machines too, and if memory serves me right i think the new ones doesn't require you to open the machines to remove a screw or similar to make the flash writable

I'm going need to rack a PowerEdge somewhere before I'm done setting up the system. What's the cheap/easy way ensure remote access without exposing iDRAC remotely? Raspberry Pi jump box with another Ethernet adapter?

I used it as my main computer for quite a while, it had "flash memory" so disk was actually sort of fast and it ran an external screen just fine. It required a lot of janitoring to get to that point but that's half the fun!

Work problem: I need to move a PC to another room about 500' away. The PC needs a handful of connections extended, like USB, Ethernet, VGA, DB9 serial, etc. That's all fine. Problem is there's also a DB15 (8 pins over 7 pins) cable that needs to be extended too. I've searched but can't find a DB15 active extender. What I want is this but with the DB15 cable. Anyone ever seen one? I'd even consider commissioning one to be made custom as it's a big deal, if that was possible.

Perplx posted:could you use a usb to db15 adapter? I don't think so, it would end up being DB15 to USB, USB extended over cat6, then cat6 to USB, USB to DB15. I'd bet a dollar it wouldn't work. One idea I had was to take the DB15 and split it into two DB9s, then add in two conventional DP9 extenders. then on the far side, recombine them back to DB15 carefully. I don't know if that would work either though.

So apparently connectors for modular power supplies aren't universal (I grabbed the wrong one from a different power supply, although the actual connectors match - the wiring does not), and now a hard drive is toast. It was one LVM physical volume out of two for a volume group...is there a way to recover any data from the remaining physical volume/hard drive? I assume not since I'm sure the data spanned both hard drives.
