No issues upgrading either my main server or my backup (both are supermicro platforms).

Just got the latest iOS 17.4 public beta from Apple, and it fixed the bug that prevented my 2020 MYP from sending text messages from the car's infotainment system.

Finally....

Canadian here. Most of our banking is electronic in Canada and I just don’t physical currency much. I mostly stuck with using paper currency in Japan this past summer.

I couldn’t find a quick and easy way to easily convert my coins back to paper yen before the flight home so used up some of my baggage weight allowance with a big sack of Japanese coins. Any tips?

I don’t mind paying a percentage to do it but don’t want to count myself. If there’s a shortage of coins in Japan right now it’s because all your yen are in my luggage.

Banks here used to have machines to do it with Canadian coins but with few people using coins now they all got removed.

Plan B was to pour my 2kg sack-o-yen into a temple donation box and reap the good Karma for years to come.

I’ve got my mirrors set to auto fold at home due to tight parking in the garage. Wish the screen could have an option to automatically switch to camera view when they fold.

Just wondering if anyone knows which SAS connectors on the SAS826A backplane control which ports?

On my current setup only ports 8-11 are working so got some troubleshooting ahead of me.

The online manuals show the connectors but unhelpfullyndont indicate which ports are being used for each.

Also, anyone know what the ribbon cable beside the SAS wires is used for on supermicro cables? I don’t recall seeing it on other SAS cables.

I submitted my RPAL renewal back in September using the online system but still nothing.

I did get a letter stating if I didn’t renew my license I’d be in violation of everything though…. New gun control measures? Just don’t process license renewals in a timely fashion?

Ok it’s a wish list but I’m trying to check all boxes.

• slim design
• card ejector mechanism
• AirTag integrated without a massive unsightly bump
• MagSafe connection to iPhone
• brown or black leather (optional but preferred over metal)
• price $120 max

I haven’t found any options yet which check all boxes.

I have to work, but the family is going camping without me. Wife asks which flashlight she can borrow to take with her and the kids.

I’m rocked to the core. Visions of Obi Wan just casually handing Luke a lightsaber to swing around in his house.

My flashlights only range between “hotter and brighter than the sun” to “wouldn’t be out of place on a police helicopter”.

Nothing in this range is remotely qualified for use by wife and kids, much less dealing with the batteries that power them.

The only solution is buy more flashlights. Maybe something that also uses AA batteries (le barf).

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the aforementioned Hankook tires on their MYP (or in general for Hankook?).

Still have one more season or so left on my 2020 tires but want to be ready when the time comes.

So rental advocates are calling for maximum temperatures as well as minimums.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-heat-wave-august-2023-rental-housing-rules-1.6935647

So by this logic if there’s a maximum permissible temperature, if I have AC installed in the rental unit it must run at whatever level is necessary 24/7 to not exceed that maximum temperature at any time, even if it adds hundreds of dollars a month to the renter’s utility bill?

Nobody would want to put someone’s health at risk by letting it get too hot.

Is that really what tenants want? Because I sure wouldn’t have wanted that kind of bill when I was renting, I would’ve just preferred a cheap fan I could turn on or maybe a home brew swamp cooler.

Or are they just clumsily wanting landlords to supply ACs with rental units now, which will drive prices even higher even before electrical upgrades….

Not sure if they want plentiful housing, affordable housing, or nicely outfitted suites.

Renters may pick 1 of the above options only.

I’d guess they’d go for about $150,000 a piece if you built blocks of them. The lower unit is probably cheaper without the rooftop access.

And yes, this is the future of home ownership here, not single detached living.

Got a note back from the IG creator. Rents for about $850 a month and is just north of downtown Tokyo.
