I know the old motherboards and video cards and such have precious metals in them. I have dozens of old serial, parallel, and centronics cable, some are still in the unopened packaging. Does any of this old stuff have value? Is there a decent way of getting rid of it?

All indicated rendering errors although playback of the timeline was perfect. I decided to power down and reboot. Now it won't reboot...

Can it be cloned to a new 1TB 2280 m.2 ssd using a USB-C enclosure for that new drive, and then that would be swapped to replace the internal 256GB drive?
I've never worked with drives that had Bitlocker, much less SSD drives. New drive I plan on buying, will be from Crucial.]]>293D Printers, anyone?Mon, 09 Dec 2024 17:23:29 +0000

412336invalid@example.com (TheForce)TheForceI just upgraded to this latest camera. I had an Action 3 before and a GoPro 10 Black. Both had overheating problems but the GoPro 10 was worse. I mostly shoot long form at high resolution so overheating was a real problem.
While the GoPro had excellent image quality in low light, it would shut off in 10-15 minutes due to over heating. Also, once it got too hot the battery would expand and couldn't remove it until I put the camera in the freezer for 30 minutes.
The dji Action 3 had...

Some points of the day I am getting 400+ megs down, but other times I can't connect to the internet, and when I do a ping, response times are horrible. Right now everything is great, but last night my ping times were over 300ms to google.com, and about 10% packet loss. This has been going on since June 21, which ironically is the day after T-Mobile supposedly started geofencing the gateways so they could only connect to the cell towers...
