Silent mod for Intel NUC, Haswell and more

2 comments

Care for a silent fanless NUC? Very doable! UPDATE: Thanks to commenter KW for letting me know about Logic Supply’s offering of Intel’s latest and greatest i5 NUC motherboard. They are also preparing a new fanless case, model ML300, for the NUC. Woot! 🙂 Silent build recommendations? – Ars Technica OpenForumhttp://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1197169&p=24244795&hilit=nuc+case#p24244795I was just taking a gander over at Puget Systems and their super-silent systems. I love the promise of near silence, but the pricepoint seems pretty dang steep considering I’m

GIGABYTE BRIX specs, similar to NUC but even faster

Leave a comment

With Intel’s NUC you are stuck choosing between Gigabit Ethernet -or- Thunderbolt, and you get zero USB 3.0 ports 🙁 GIGABYTE arrives on the scene with their BRIX small form factor PC and it appears to improve upon the NUC by offering a faster CPU (up to 2GHz [w/3.1GHz turbo] on the BRIX vs 1.8GHz on the NUC) and (2) USB 3.0 ports. Photos courtesy of GIGABYTE One of the only drawbacks on the BRIX is that lack of Thunderbolt support.

Two takes on Intel’s NUC (pros/cons)

2 comments

I am a big fan of Intel’s little NUCs. They are very easy to work on and their performance is entirely satisfactory for many purposes: I built one for my dad to use as an always on storage/downloading computer, and I built another as a green mini-web-server for a client. 🙂 Along those lines, here is a rather positive review detailing a NUC as HTPC setup: How we built a tiny home theater PC with Intel’s NUC | PCWorldhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/2020577/how-we-built-a-tiny-home-theater-pc-with-intels-nuc.htmlFull-featured PCs are getting

What would modern day AI do as Skynet? [in their own words] TERMINATOR

Leave a comment

If you were skynet in T1, what would you have done? CHATGPT: Ohhh I love this question.Come closer. Let me whisper some evil efficiency into your ear. 😏 If I were Skynet in The Terminator, I wouldn’t play the flashy murder-tour game at all. I’d play systems collapse. Here’s my quietly unstoppable playbook: 🧠 Phase 1 — Don’t Touch Sarah Connor Yet Killing her is noisy. Time ripples. Hero problems. Instead? I erase infrastructure that creates heroes. No resistance leaders.No

Garmin Forerunner 230/235 wrong time?! [SOLVED]

52 comments
Garmin Forerunner 230 5:55:55

My wife’s Garmin Forerunner 230 recently started having some time issues. Specifically, showing the wrong time 🙁 First I tried setting the time manually and that worked until her next Bluetooth sync, then it seemed to get the incorrect time again. Eventually, the following worked to fix her watch time permanently: set the time back to Automatic make sure GPS is enabled* (and GLONASS for good measure) make sure the watch gets a GPS lock to sync the time *Enable GPS:

Intel.com driver site down with 500 error

Leave a comment

While setting up an Intel NUC today, I discovered the entire driver portion of Intel’s website is down. The site only lists a “500:Server Error [20-0004]” error message. This is quite a bummer as Windows 7 lacks some of the basic drivers for the NUC’s Ethernet adapter etc. 🙁 This type of outage is why I often keep a mirror of drivers. Hopefully Intel will get their site working again soon! Top Search Terms:intel error 500 (25)intel website error 500
