Not the worst thing anyone has ever suggested to me on this site. You know and absolutely don't care but there was a Miele bicycle once upon a time that was made in or around Toronto. Nothing to do with the German appliance company as it was started by an Italian and was pronounced Me-el-e as opposed to Mee-la. I'm assuming Kraut vacuums are better because they are manufactured in Germany unlike most that are made on the cheap in the Far East.

I found a Dyson 10 years ago... at a yard sale that was closing up... owner said it needed work... and it was free. I took it home, stripped it down, washed it all up, replaced about $13usd

worth in replacement parts. Made it work like new.

(Actually, It is the finest vacuum I ever owned and I owned a few. Don't remember the model, but it sold for about $480 at that time.) :alien:

Question for the computer experts here -- so I've been having issues with my internet connection and/or wifi lately. At first I thought it was the fiber connection (who knows how many neighbors have jumped on the bandwagon lately?) and then I thought it might be my router, but it looks like everybody else in the house has a stable connection and just now, when my computer "lost" the network, I can still see and connect to it on my phone or ipad. So my next suspicion is that it's my computer, or more precisely the networking card and/or the driver.

Basically, two things seem to happen. One, occasionally I am losing one or both of my wifi networks, where the computer doesn't appear to see the SSIDs (even though other devices still see them). This seems to happen more often with the 5 GHz network than the 2.4 GHz network. BUT, I still see some of my neighbors' wifi networks and I see the wifi network from my fiber gateway (one of those combined gateway/router boxes from AT&T; I just use it as a passthrough to connect to my own router). So I can't even say that I don't have any connectivity, because I can just connect to the other network until my own comes back. Second, the network performance seems to degrade over time; under the best of circumstances I used to get download rates (as indicated by SABnzb) in the neighborhood of 13 MB/sec; but lately I'm happy if I get 3 MB/sec, and it seems to be fluctuating between 3 MB/sec and zero (which usually indicates that I am about to lose the network). No clue what's going on here.

Any suggestions? The network card is a Dell special that came with the computer, so I have no idea what model it is or how good it is. The driver is just whatever Windows Update gave me. Time to get a new wifi card? reinstall Windows (I know, I know, I still need to do that). Anything else I can do? I'm pretty much at my wits' end (didn't take much to begin with, but still)...

Question for the computer experts here...

NOT an expert anymore... but own 3 Dells... the "newish" one is probably 2 years old, but the issue you have been having seems a bit familiar to me.

I have some minor surgery later this afternoon, so I'll have time to think on it if no one else posts.

(I ended up revamping the whole system (from router down), a year or so ago an had an IT guy do the installation, but hopefully what he did will be of use to you.) :alien:


Quick questions... are you using a cable (RJ-45) connection or to the router / modem or WiFi more exclusively? and How old is the Dell you use most?

Caballero
08-11-2021, 09:00 PM
The Dell might be... four years, maybe? My old computer died on me, I did not have time or patience to spec a new system at the time, so I just went to Costco and grabbed one off the shelf. It's a XPS 8920 if it makes any difference.

I've got AT&T fiber to the house, so I have CAT-5 cable running from the gateway to my router, but everything is wifi from there on. Router is a reflashed Asus AC-1900 that shows up as a RT-68U (see https://moreless.medium.com/flash-tm-ac-1900-to-rt-ac68u-to-use-aimesh-80b84387358a). Connection to other devices is fast and stable (even the laptop sitting next to the Dell rig), so the issue must be on the Dell's side. But I'll be damned if I can figure out what's causing it.

Caballero
08-12-2021, 02:10 AM
So the latest is that now I can't even connect to the wifi network (created by the Asus router) anymore, neither the 2.4 GHz nor the 5 Ghz network. But only on the Dell computer, all other devices are functioning as before.

Looks like it's time for a clean system re-install.

Cab, I'm not able to think or type well tonight... surgery and all... talked / texted with my IT mate (he never really talks on the cell... very frustrating!), but I digress... and he confirmed things...

Finally I got a voice mail from him this Sunday morning... he cryptically said, "Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.".

A bit late to this one, but you can start by doing a driver update (get them from the manufacturer, not Windows) and seeing that your router doesn't autoswitch to channels 12 or 13. And if you're able to use Ethernet cabling instead, do!

Caballero
08-16-2021, 03:45 AM
Well, I replaced the router (have four of them lying around here; got the AC-1900s for like $20 a piece or thereabouts and was going to set up a mesh network) and things got better. Almost perfect today, in fact. Don't know if the router was overheating in the media closet or if the firmware somehow got hosed, but at this point I don't care. I still will need to wipe Windows and start building my setup from scratch, but I just don't have the time. The family really needs to go on vacation again and leave me behind for a week... ;)

Fufu, I live alone and haven't done a reinstall since May 2017 nonetheless. Time is more valuable than the Kuwaiti dinar. Surprising that only the Dell would have trouble if the router was to blame, though.

Well, woke up this morning to an email from my Synology NAS that one of the drives was failing. Got Seagate Exos X 16TB drives in there that I purchased last year. One drive was DOA and immediately replaced by Seagate, all other ones were fine and are/were working flawlessly until now.

Called up their tech support and they are going to send me a replacement drive under warranty, so no complaints there. But the fact that this particular drive did not even last 12 months... Makes me a wee bit weary. 50% failure rate in a year? Hmm...

...and I thought Seagates were decent HDD's... :sadwalk:

Well, they used not to be, at least I made an effort not to use them for the longest time. But apparently/supposedly they had cleaned up their act, and since this drive is an enterprise system drive and not really for personal use, I figured I'd give it a shot. The price was decent (a tad above $300 for 16TB), and I was not about to support Western Digital after the shenanigans they pulled last year. Not sure where that leaves me for now. I guess as long as they are willing to swap them out under warranty, it's semi-okay; but I only have a one-disk redundancy in my system, and if ever two of their drives fail at the same time... Probably should change that the next time I replace one of the older/smaller drives.

Stehle
08-27-2021, 07:21 PM
Yeah, probably is for the best.

(Short true story... others and I made a small fortune doing warranty swaps in the mid to late '90's on old Seagate drives... it was a 5 Year warranty back then... technology was moving so fast... by the time the smaller drive failed... they HAD to swap it for a much LARGER drive... we then sold the latest and greatest!) ;) :alien:

Not admitting to anything here, of course. Though I guess the statute of limitations would have kicked in by now. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Oh, and when I say "no cable hookup" I mean there was literally no cable connecting to the house. No feed anywhere near the address. I guess in the pre-broadband days it just wasn't that important...

It's alright, I totally didn't have a Jerrold brand decoder circa 2003 either. Guess how I didn't watch the first Matrix movie?

Now that DVB, 5G, FiOS and streaming are all the rage, who's to say we won't return to that at some point. Analog cable is still very much a thing here, though. When companies invest millions on infrastructure, they want the returns to keep flowing forever. ADSL2 was only discontinued around two years ago...

My hard drive died... well it almost died and now I am hard at work to recover about 600 GB worth of "stuff" :shifty:

still dunno what the fuck happened that it would not boot up on my laptop but works when I removed the drive and stuck it into a drive case that has the option to attach a usb cable and turn it into an external drive. This was just 600 GB ... still thanks be to the gods that its all ok.

Consider this a near-miss and learn from it. Right now the priority should be copying everything to a healthy medium as quickly as possible. Robocopy in restartable mode or Unstoppable Copier are good choices. Then, you need some sort of integrity checking; I use SHA-1 hash lists myself. If you haven't kept those in advance, trying to hash files from a potentially defective disk may not produce accurate results, but is better than nothing. For torrent data, you can (and should) use the recheck feature in your client.

Mine was an external, and I thought I might get as lucky as you by doing the opposite, removing it from the case and plugging it directly... no such luck. :(

I usually always take a backup every week for stuff that's new and back it up to an external HDD. This incident was just so random and the drive would just not boot up. Even the Linux Mint splash screen wouldn't boot up so there was no way for me to even go into CLI mode and try to figure out what the hell it was that went wrong.

Robocopy is for windows (MS can go jump up its own ass and die for all I care) and I'm on Linux. Unstoppable copier looks interesting and I'll have to give it a go. Though I managed to recover everything that was important to me I think having these solutions would be a good idea for the future so thanks for the suggestion.

I remember buying this case a long time back. It wasn't reall a drive I shucked and kept the case but rather it was a case I found in the market once for small drives I could fit into it and then use a USB connector to turn it into an external. So glad I had this lying around. The most important thing in that drive was not just the "stuff" but the backup to my catalogue program for movies that I'd spent a lot of time building on Tellico. I almost lost it when I thought the work I put in to curate over 800 movies on Tellico was all lost. Would have been a pain to do it all over again and then continue adding more. :frusty:

On Linux you have another good alternative: ddrescue.

Great! If the disk is still within warranty, I would now wipe it and send for RMA. Otherwise, run SMART tests and a secure erase on it and see if you can restore usability, although hard disks that have shown defects are usually a ticking time bomb.

Unfortunately the warranty on the drive has lapsed so I can't send it in for RMA. Which is why I guess I'll probably just format it and try to play around with it a bit. Maybe I'll dump shit in there that won't sting me if I loose it :wacko:

Now though I have a 2tb drive in my laptop so I can "collect and share" more.

The case I have is pretty much just the IDE to usb so like I said I was lucky on that front.

I have about 90% of my stuff back just minor stuff here and there that I really need to dig for. Other than that I've pretty much taken the entire day yesterday to back up almost everything I've recovered so that I'm prepared for when shit hits the fan next. :wacko:

You can make the installer ignore the TPM settings:
How to Install Windows 11 Without TPM
As mentioned, installing Windows 11 without TPM requires a few registry entries. The easiest way to do this is to try to install Windows 11 via an ISO or the Insider program, then follow the steps below if you get a “This PC can’t run Windows 11” message.
1. Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt and run the “regedit” command
2. Add a new key in the “Setup” key
In the Registry Editor, navigate to*Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup. Right-click on the*“Setup”*folder in your sidebar and select*“New > Key”.
3. Name the key “LabConfig” and add a new DWORD
After you name your folder, you can create the DWORD by right-clicking in any blank space in the main pane and selecting*“DWORD (32-bit) Value”.
4. Name the value “BypassTPMCheck” and set the value data to 1.
It’s important the capitalization and spelling are exactly the same. You can modify the value data by double-clicking your new DWORD and changing the*“Value data”*text box. Press*“OK”*when you’re done to save the changes.
5. Create another DWORD called “BypassRAMCheck”
Again, make sure the capitalization and spelling is exactly the same as above.
6. Change the value data to 1
Remember, you can access the value data field by double-clicking on the “BypassRAMCheck” key. Press*“OK”*to apply it.
7. Create a new DWORD called “BypassSecureBootCheck”
8. Change the value data of SecureBootCheck to 1 and press “OK”
9. Close the Registry Editor and press the back button on your Windows 11 setup
You’ll find the back button in the top-left corner.
10. Install Windows 10 on your unsupported hardware
You can now go through the setup process as normal. Your installer should no longer tell you your PC is incompatible.

From <https://winbuzzer.com/2021/08/09/how-to-install-windows-11-without-tpm-2-xcxwbt/

After it's installed, you can run the "Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd" from this article so it will install new feature updates when available (also has method for clean install):

You can get arrested for bullying now? I guess I will have to be more careful in the future with my words around all the fat, ugly, ghey losers then.

I don't have a iFone or any social media accounts and all my medical bills are covered by the government. Also federal crimes are the jurisdiction of the Feds not the cops. I guess this is God way of telling me that the only thing preventing me from bullying is moral rectitude or in the case of the US, the Second Amendment.

Sheeesshhhh... You may not know this having spent obviously way to much time studying computers but when "sheeesshhh" is uttered in a court of law it's considered an admission of guilt. Sort of like nolo contendere (no contest) except reserved for instances where the defendant thinks TikTok is a good way for an adult to pass time.

At least I now know where to direct SomethingElse if when he launches into one of his long diatribes about what's really wrong with the World nowadays is there's nowhere near enough lynchings.

There is definitely room for an independent currency that is not under the control of any large bank or institution, but BitCoin (or at least what it ended up becoming) doesn't tick all the right boxes.

Cryptocurrency is like most nfts, they have no intrinsic value. The problem with that is if something has no real value then any idiot is free to attach whatever price to it he wants. ie ip stocks Things were probably better back in the olden days when only rich people were cunts and the gold reserve acted as a failsafe.
