@Hennes How much did that cost?

Hennes

I got a good boot disk. spinnign rusty as archive and a SATA SSD for the rest. That SSD got full so I replaced it with something twice its size.

400 euro

well, 399 with free shipping

Bob

760P is TLC

660P is QLC?

Hennes

And it should work well enough once osed as intended.
As in. QLC with READ (up to 1800/MB/sec) and small writes.
QLC really does not like continious writes

Grabs bill since now I am confused

Bob

oof, the 2 TB 660P is 600 AUD

Hennes

1 x Intel® 760p Serie, 2.0 TB SSD

Bob

12:02

meanwhile a 1 TB 860 EVO is 225 AUD

@Hennes are you sure it's 760?

what's it say on the box?

or on the drive?

or in the OS?

ark.intel.com/products/134581/…

says TLC here

Hennes

In the OS it is a intel SSD PEKKW020T8.. thank s Intel, that is helpful

Bob

should be TLC

Hennes

hmm, then I guess I misremembered. I spent a lot of time looking at SSD, TLC and QLC

Bob

@Hennes what does it say on the box?

Hennes

And briefly at MLC, but 2TB MLC is not something easy to find in an offordable state

Bob

12:05

or on the drive?

or in SMART info?

something stinks, cause TLC shouldn't dip to 2 MB/s

Hennes

Drive is in a desktop. need to open that

Box has Intel 2 .0TB 760p Serie

Ditto label on drive. (just look at desktop

Very spiky read write though.
And windows seems to lag accasionally for a few seconds (on a skylake desktop)

Bob

hrmmm

maybe do a proper write test (benchmark)

cause copying files could have other factors

Hennes

Ah, out of free memory. That is probably the lag spike

Bob

that would do it, yes

Hennes

Fresh boot 10 minutes ago, after a full shutdown.
4-5 GB in use. about 27GB is standbye. Free 0MB

hmm 28GB mapped file. YEah, that will consume some of the memory

@JourneymanGeek @MichaelFrank

Went to at least three dozen stores

No one had anything suitable

Finally got a bunch of misc screws from a tailor

Hennes

Whut. A tailor?

Journeyman Geek

hm

odd

Bob

@Hennes please tell me you don't have paging disabled

Hennes

I strongly doubt that I have paging disabled, but let me check

Automatically manage the .... Seems to be on

I actually had to think before I remembered where that setting was.
I've been doing dataanayst work for so long that I know excel better than windows 10

Bob

hm

maybe the memory mapped file is also locked into physical ram

though that'd be odd

Hennes

12:24

I have had that a few times in the past. 2-3 times per year when updating or downloading a large steam game

Windows shutdown did not help with that. (at least not the default one)

shutdown /s /f /t 0 used to work for that though

rahuldottech

It's killing me

I could've got this stuff from eBay easily

But no. Bloody idiots shut down eBay

I'm so mad

I want to break something

Nordlys Jeger

Good evening

Hennes

12:41

/me reads all the old stuff about floppy drives, and IDE and steals @JourneymanGeek's rocking chair. That is my chair on my lawn you youngster. :)

Journeyman Geek

@Hennes snort

Hennes

ok, 47 Y.o. here. Not quiet rockign chair time

Journeyman Geek

I'm explaining to a 16 year old the difference between pata and floppy cables. On one hand, I was that kid once. On the other... when did I get so old?

Tweeted by JourneymanGeek on January 20, 2019 at 6:33 AM

Hennes

But I did use floppy on my adaptec 154CF ISA SCSI card. :)

Nordlys Jeger

😂

Journeyman Geek

12:43

@Hennes I guess one isn't really old till you forget more than those whippersnappers have ever learned ;p

Hennes

I remember my first PC style drive. MFM

So you really had cables to each of the (up to 4) drives. One for the raw connection to a to the data heads. And a control one (- I am at track zero. -move inward or outward. - move track)

Back when you had to reformate drive when you moved them to a new PC

Journeyman Geek

ya. That might be a little older than what I'm used to

Hennes

386SX-16MHz. Windows 2.01

Journeyman Geek

I had an XT clone. Everything else was 'modern' IDE

and I didn't build the XT

well or the 486

but pretty sure it was IDE

Hennes

I stiull got hernia (the portable ibm XT. Proper 4.77GHz, 2x360k, build in CRT)

Not that I turned it on in the last decade

Journeyman Geek

12:46

iirc some japanese made thing

can't remember the brand

Hennes

I never had branded computers. Always build from component

Journeyman Geek

Was too young

Hennes

Usually grabbed from shops just over the border in germany, since that was much cheaper

Journeyman Geek

the XT was... some japanese company, the 486 was a IPC

Hennes

Well, I had amiuga's. I guess those were brand name computers

Journeyman Geek

12:47

amusingly IPC is a property holding company

everything else - from my PII 233, I built

Nordlys Jeger

@Hennes MHz please, you're confusing me

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek I'm the kid in question. I'M SEVENTEEN. Thanks for all the help tho.

I'm just glad we've gotten past the CD drives that jammed (and slipped a gear) if you looked at them funny

Or breathed too loudly the next room over

Hennes

why not KHZ? (C64 at 980KHz)

980 is a much larger number then 3.5, so my C64 (980KHz) should be much faster than my desktop (I5 6600k, 3.5 GHz). Right?

Journeyman Geek

that said, computers got more legs

Hennes

12:49

There. clockbait posted

Journeyman Geek

My dad's laptop lasted 11 years.

Hennes

Heh, that is long.

Journeyman Geek

then the backlight failed.

Hennes

Best I used is Dell E6500 from Feb 2009.

Journeyman Geek

so I swapped the HDD into my old laptop.

Hennes

12:49

Battery is getting iffy though

the replacement battery that is.

Journeyman Geek

I'm pondering frankenstining my old laptop and my dad's one

they're the same model. Mine has a slightly broken mouse and a case in worse condition

Hennes

I did that a few times in the past. I stopped doingit once my free time became worth more than the time invested.

Journeyman Geek

and I've ordered him a new dell (I don't have the time to build him a PC)

Hennes

Though it was fun doing those kind of things

Journeyman Geek

which is kinda the point

and my job does leave me with decent chunks of free time

Hennes

12:51

Yeah, ditto

I did enjoy it when I earned a lot less and had a lot more free time though

Journeyman Geek

lol

I still enjoy it lol

though, I might be looking at a new job soon soooooo

Hennes

Oh, and R61

Sister uses a R61 or a T60

Not sure which of the two

The one without audio

Journeyman Geek

my dad's laptop is a R61

Hennes

*1: Where uses is - she has one and might turn it on once per year

Journeyman Geek

both have audio. The R series was lower end than the T series

@Hennes every. single. day

Hennes

12:54

Dad had one without working audio.
The IT guy fixed it by replacing the laptop. Then my sister got the old laptop since IT did not want it back

Journeyman Geek

ahhh

Hennes

And now dad somehow has got a new laptop and I dod not know if there has been another move

I do not support my dad with IT iissues.

Journeyman Geek

funny thing is I got windows 10 on it

and an SSD

Hennes

I tried.. And he dooes not listen

Journeyman Geek

I was sneaky

Hennes

12:55

So we hire someone (a 50 euro per hour) to say precisely the same.
And then dad does listen

Win10 in AHCI or in IDE mode?

Journeyman Geek

AHCI mode

I upgraded to 7, then 10 because of the SSD

Hennes

I tried that on the Dell and failed. I did not find the right ICH drivers

Journeyman Geek

more ram would be nice but hey, I have a laptop with a dead display

Hennes

I maxed out the RAM ages ago. To 4GB

Journeyman Geek

of course the 7 licence was dodgy, but the electronic licence worked on a reinstall...

I can get this to 2

Hennes

12:56

And I had a legal fresh win 10 (for EUR 31)

And no legal win7 since the laptop shipped with Vista

So it was either that or boot from a eSATA pendrive with XP on it

Which was what we used at work on these laptops, though from internal HDD and no from a pendrive

Back then the throttle pendrives were fun

I WALKED 10,000 STEPS LOOKING FOR SCREWS WHAT IS MY LIFE

Journeyman Geek

BUT WOULD YOU WALK A THOUSAND MORE?

Hennes

Do the screws help you turn off CAPSLOCK? :)

DavidPostill

@Hennes Well the screws are for his keyboard ...

6 hours ago, by rahuldottech

It appears the last guy I gave this keyboard to to change the keys stole all the screws?

Nordlys Jeger

So... is that a yes?

rahuldottech

@NordlysJeger It's a music keyboard

A very expensive one.

Nordlys Jeger

13:33

oh

Journeyman Geek

@Hennes pfft

I hold my shift key down.

Hennes

play this note to sign a.
Move up one octave to capitalize the letter. :)

DavidPostill

@JourneymanGeek Sticky keys is easier :)

Journeyman Geek

@DavidPostill I disable caps lock on every keyboard I use

Hennes

Oh, disc copy completed

so 1TB takes 2H

So about 142MB/sec

on avarage

Rebooting to free up memory

Hennes

14:13

That seems to be the same speed as 4K write from Crystal disk

rahuldottech

14:34

@JourneymanGeek it appears that the screws I got will work well enough :)

Journeyman Geek

excellent

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek YEE

@MichaelFrank Wanna help me figure out how to get AUX out jacks working on this?

Circuit: rahul.party/files/IMG_20190120_230614_075-6992.jpg

So, I found service manuals for two other keyboards with very similar AUX OUT circuits

Might be able to figure out the components from those

I have an SSD as my main and only drive. The other drive in the laptop is a 1-GB Seagate, completely empty. Why on earth do I hear it work each time I start some task?
