What a strange PITA. I added a PCIE card and NVME to my server over the weekend. At the same time, I started getting system instability and WHEA-Logger errors in the event log. Of course, my assumption was that it was either the new card or the new drive. Without doing *a ton* of troubleshooting (just upgraded the NVME firmware), I ordered a new card. Same thing.
Diving into the error, it was due to a driver issue with the video card. A long time ago, I tried to shoehorn the ATI drivers into Server 2016. Worked fine for a long time, but apparently now it didn't. Pulled the driver and let it use the basic microsoft adapter and boom. Things are working.
Side rant: I know not many people would ever use it, but I sure do wish they made a $15 PCIE 1x video card. I had to pull a drive I was sorta using because I needed to get rid of a SATA controller, so that I could plug in the new NVME drive.
Isn't that why Intel chips have come with onboard graphics for oh, 15 years now?Side rant: I know not many people would ever use it, but I sure do wish they made a $15 PCIE 1x video card.

It really wasn't a problem until now, as none of the SATA controllers need full PCIE slots...Well, it was dumb of @fly to buy one without, since he was planning on plugging eleventy one PCI cards in for all his dumb DrivePond spindles.

What about USB video adapter? I've never used it as the primary display, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe bios screen wouldn't work. Hell use iLO or iDRAC or serial console redirection..What a strange PITA. I added a PCIE card and NVME to my server over the weekend.

you know, on modern mobo that can support that, a usb 3.0 > hdmi/displayport is almost certainly your best bet.What about USB video adapter?

@fly can't work a serial console. Even RDP is a stretch.What about USB video adapter? I've never used it as the primary display, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe bios screen wouldn't work. Hell use use iLO or iDRAC or serial console redirection..
although apparnetly a lot of those just reroute the existing gpu output.you know, on modern mobo that can support that, a usb 3.0 > hdmi/displayport is almost certainly your best bet.
The mobo won't boot without a video card, so my assumption was that it won't boot with a USB one.What about USB video adapter? I've never used it as the primary display, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe bios screen wouldn't work. Hell use iLO or iDRAC or serial console redirection..
mag mount is great.These Wyze Cams are ridiculously easy to setup.
I picked up 4 more, and 4 32gb MicroSD cards.
These will be fine for cat cams when we travel.
And at $32 each, total, you can't beat the price.
I haven't tried the magnetic mount they include, but it's nice to have.
Don't know if "Lily" wears makeup, but it's been my impression that laptops and keyboards gets tons of that shit stuck in them as fine particles and then other crap clings to that and it snowballs as the "filter" gets tighter. Fm keyboard - turn over and tap, tablespoon of schmutz falls out. M keyboard - 1/4 teaspoon, mainly food and hair. Women who wear actual coverup are the worst droper in that regard.Macbook Pro was on the fritz yesterday. It would just shut down whenever I opened Cura (a problem, since I needed to slice some shit for Lily's project).
I figured a fan had failed or something.
Took the bottom off of it (stupid 5 point screws and all), and took it out to the garage and gave it a real good blowjob. I don't know how it managed to collect that much dust, but the fins on the heat pipe were more or less totally clogged.
Anyhow, shit works great now!
