Does anyone here have experiencing transferring ergo coin using the ergo wallet?

Enterprise SSD

wkc5657 — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 23:46:50 +0800

Hi, the workplace's IT department are decommisioning some of their servers, and i came across some enterprise SSD that they can let go. Since my old nvme ssd is less than 20% life now, i'm thinking why not anyway, since the enterprise drive's remaining useful ife is at least 1pbw (according to the IT staff lah).

It is a 5 year old memblaze that uses pcie x4 slot.

My question is :
1) how to connect that to my pc since the only pcie slot already used by the gpu?
2) i'm ok cloning out the data on my current old nvme drive, but can this type of enterprise drive become a boot drive?
3) do i need a separate controller?
4) can those m.2 to pcie converter be used for this purpose if it doesn't require a controller?

Thanks in advance.

Question on Noise Cancelling Headphones

wkc5657 — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 17:07:31 +0800

I'm new to this field, so I have a query regarding noise cancelling headphones. To all the sifus, here's my query.

Without plugging into any input source, will the headphone's noise cancelling function still work (assuming turning the NC feature on). I can't take the whirring noise from a bunch of network switches that are situated next to me.

Vehicle Price Approvals from MITI

wkc5657 — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:10:24 +0800

As per the title, why does MITI need to have a hand in vehicle price approvals in malaysia?

On the surface of it, just doesn't makes sense as MITI's main focus should be on fostering international trade and also in formulating policies that attract and improve industry competitiveness.

Why MITI need to go into such details into the nitty gritty aspects of car prices? If any car makes want to sell at a loss, then heck why stop them? Understand there are some aspects of protecting proton/perodua, but really to what extent? Their work is neither helping the consumers nor the automotive industry....

Insiders/scholars/researchers/policy makers or any people that have genuine insights, appreciate your comments and inputs.

Will there be interference issues if around 10 (or more) persons using the same model of wireless mouse/keyboards in a regular office floor setting on the 2.4Ghz band?

Pad Change

wkc5657 — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 11:09:29 +0800

I'm thinking of dumping the current OEM brake pads and experimenting with better brake pad compound after my car warranty period ends.

I want to keep the current brake disc as it still has some thickness to it.

Question, are there any specific procedures to bed in new compound on old disc? Or just do a little washing and scrubbing on the brake disc surface is sufficient to clear away the OEM compound?
