I just ordered an 18 Pro Max to replace my 14 Pro. Honestly, my current phone is good enough / fast enough but I am giving it to my Mom to replace her X (change is not big on her list of priorities, but the older OS won't load some of the newer apps she wants to try.)

From what I can figure, this is essentially DMA for your FS.

My first attempt to compile it was January of 92. I think I have been hearing this since 93.

Norco went t*ts-up in December of 2020, and I believe they liquidated their warehouse stock/fixtures in early 2021. Their cases (steel/construction) were eh. Their electronics were crap then, and I do not think they have improved with age. As far as whether the backplane will negotiate 12Gbs, it...

Not blaming the OP here, but welcome to the Enterprise world. As far as the manufacturer is concerned, if you are running Enterprise gear under warranty, you also have necessary temporary replacements on-hand to maintain your uptime. What you are trying to do (as far as they are concerned) is...

If you just want another phone number and are not doing this to compartmentalize your data, just add a GoogleVoice phone number to your account. Just go to voice.google.com and create a phone number in whatever exchange you desire. Turn it on and off (or set Do Not Disturb and it will just go to...

It is for real.

All my TV's are on Vlan 4,094.... That routes to a black hole.

There are a ton of options, Icy Dock makes some good ones. How much working data do you expect per project? How long do you expect to need to maintain the data, both live for working/processing and backups if you ever need to go back to it? Do you need just the data to be portable or the entire...
