re: USB external hard drive reader

Yeah for 2.5" drives (ssd or hdd) you just need a sata-usb cable. They are probably all the same.
If you have a 3.5" (desktop) drive you'll need an enclosure with its own power supply. ...

re: Variations in Human Intelligence vs Animal Intelligence
Posted by Korkstand on 5/10/24 at 11:51 am
[quote]As a general rule and on a relative scale, you can't really characterize wild animals as intelligent. They don't really know why they do what they do. They're driven by instinct and they all (within a given species) have the same instincts.[/quote]I disagree, there are several species that we...

I don't think cat7 or cat8 are officially recognized standards. I may be wrong, but I think that means these companies can get away with using these terms for marketing without the cables actually being made to some higher specs or standards.
Also watch out for CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conduct...
re: Simple home networking for beginner
Posted by Korkstand on 5/3/24 at 8:44 am
The "controller" is just the software that configures and manages the network. For a basic home router, you don't really need a controller... you can set up and manage the network completely via its web UI. When you get into multiple devices, it becomes very handy to manage everything via one cohesi...
re: Ethernet switches that do not have loop detection
Posted by Korkstand on 4/29/24 at 12:20 pm
In a home or small office setting it's hardly a concern. STP or any sort of loop detection is only needed if there is a chance of accidentally (or purposely) creating a loop. It's more of an enterprise feature to solve an enterprise problem, ...
re: Ethernet switches that do not have loop detection
Posted by Korkstand on 4/28/24 at 8:49 pm
I'm not a pro but this is the first I've heard the term "loop end". I know that managed switches can use Spanning Tree Protocol and the basic purpose of that is to prevent network overload due to loops. It can also be used to provide redundant/backup links (which would otherwise create a loop).

[quote]Do you think there's an equal chance this was done by Asian medical students?[/quote]Probably, and that chance is close to zero. Squatters are not stupid and it would be stupid to call this much attention to a building you are squatting in.
There's also close to zero chance illegals would ...

[quote]5 years ago is now ancient?[/quote]I'm saying it's strange to stress MODERN in all caps referring to a building that has been disowned and probably decaying for half a decade.
