no it was a refurb business that didn't have exact item photos. Because the flashing is somewhat intermittent I wonder if it wasn't quite as bad when they were looking at it, maybe something got knocked loose in transit?
Previous transaction in similar circumstances have had better luck. I am not very picky about display quality or case damage so burn in, dead pixels, dim lines, dents, small cracks etc are no issue and I stop noticing them pretty quickly. I get cheap 5/10 condition phones and they are plenty good enough for me. I have never seen the bright white line thing. Also didn't realize that the display would be black where the cracks are; must be some great new display technology to prevent you from extending the life of a busted screen by applying a protector. Fantastic can't wait till all phones have this.
I think everyone's right I have to send it back. Very annoying.. it's harder to get this stuff in Canada if you are looking for custom ROM compatible phones. It's so much work to find the correct kind of item. Shipping takes forever. Oh well cest la vie. I guess I shall have to read another paper book.
just to check my understanding: a 4 port card provides different capability than a 1 or 2 port card with a switch attached, yes?
thanks for all the info!
i am definitely a person who will always change the defaults for no particular reason. so I appreciate the warning. except I don't quite know what you mean by "assignments". do you mean like the names? eth0? or their functions? I do like the idea of having a physical jack that's always guaranteed to allow access no matter what I foul up otherwise.
all these years I have been running my home network with a collection of routers just kind of attached together in a way that shouldn't work due to "double nat" according to everything I ever read, but it is pretty much functional if not at all optimized. maybe if you don't believe in double nat it won't happen to you.
thanks! so for example: Intel Gigabit Dual PORT GIGABIT ETHERNET PCIe NIC Card EXPI9402PT NC360T which is CA$30. Does that sound right?
What's a server card?
I'd prefer to avoid VMs if possible I never had much luck with them.
that sounds useful.
i like to keep things separate when plausible.
I was hoping to make use of one of the various computers I have cluttering this place up so I could justify continuing the collection. ;)
Do you know how to determine suitability of an existing card, or how to correctly purchase a replacement?
Does "interface" mean you need separate cards? Or you have a single card with multiple interfaces?
Is DMZ like a guest network?
I looked up "IDS/IPS" and it wounds like something I would prefer to avoid doing if I can.
The best internet I could subscribe to where I'm at is 1024 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up. I'll add that to the post I guess it is relevant since so many people have fibre. (sigh)
Actually I just saw this: Zoom terms of use updated to allow AI training on user-generated data, no opt-out
Maybe if zoom is systematically collecting data on all users they would be able to build a reasonable model. Then it could be leaked or shared.
What do you think?
custom rom is the reason I spent so much time trying to get a pixel.
but I am giving up on this one. next device is going to run lineage so I can have a wider variety to try to find one that works. maybe I'll try a motorola.
