Some German cable providers do internal NATting please check that yours does not.

This is too true, I usually do not touch any tech stuff anymore at home, working in IT all day.

Was thinking same, packs from unsold leasing returns. But probably not so.

This. And battery life is amazing.

Usually those numbers fall back into the provider’s pool after a time of not regular usage and get sold again, at least here in Europe.

Middle of the night, semidarkness, walking to the loo. Looking up…

Thy already wrote this will not be powered on 24/7, just lean back and enjoy the pics and story :-)

I also noticed slow dl speeds some weeks ago, and had to restart the download. Nearly did not install it out of growing frustration. But it worked out in the end.

Thank you for that information. It’s a company machine, but if I ever get annoyed enough I’ll try it out. I just f*s my brain that they’re bold enough to change the UI for worse.

tl, did not read all. sry, tired.

“The reality is that while you’ve gotten very good at navigating the operating system that you’ve been using for the past twenty years, very little of that knowledge is useful in GNU/Linux.”

One could add “Or on the next version/release of Windows”, cos they’re breaking that “knowledge” with each new (forced) change on the UI. Yes, I want to right-click on a file and choose “rename” in a context menu, not choose one of a ton of icons, I want excel to open a new instance with a new file, and so on. It kills productivity for me to be forced on these changes.

Would be around 300€ in Germany, on a cheap contract. Limiting myself to one combined NAS/application server atm, with the others turned on only if I want to try sth out.

Yes. Chuck some 5TB Seagate externals. They’re way less pain in the ears, cooler and quieter.

Ray guns everywhere please. Stepped into that beamer trap once, only for my non-DE colleagues to tease me forever with it.

Well for me it does not work (T470s, two docks, different monitors). Well, it does sometimes work after the second reboot.

Yup, with 2,5" Seagates. Reused the enclosure with smaller used enterprise ssds to make cheap USB sticks.

Stolen, bookmarked. Thank you. P.s.: Can’t understand the downvotes either.
