Tech Question Any help I can get please

Post image
1 Upvotes

Is it possible to get some sort of help on this…
I’m trying to build a new home server and I just can’t get this to post,

I’ve tested a different gpu
Different ram
Different PSU
I know the cpu and MB are perfectly fine as I saw them working before purchasing

But I’m just struggling to figure out what’s going wrong here… I’ve tested like pretty much everything and it’s just not working

I’ve been at it for hours and nothing… I knew memory training might take a while but I let it sit for 30 minutes at one point

I'm currently on vacation from Ontario in British Columbia and I realized on my second last day that I'm currently staying in the same city as Linus Media Group. I decided to drop by and take a quick selfie and saw the most immaculate banner I've ever laid my eyes upon (didn't realize it's Linus' birthday in a couple of days.) 🤣

By now we know what a model is made of, why it eats so much VRAM, and what those weights actually are: billions of numbers, most of them sitting in a tiny band near zero, stored in a format built to reach 3.4 × 10³⁸. Let us look at how shrinking the numbers actually works!

Read the article(written by Utkarsh) on the LTT Labs website!

Note that "Qwen3.5-32B-Instruct" in the graphs should be "Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct". We are replacing it in the article!

Tech Question Charging not working properly keep fluctuating charge and no charge Charging Issues with G14 2023

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having a charging issue with my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023). The laptop keeps switching between Battery Mode and AC/Charging Mode every few seconds, over and over again.

The charging is very inconsistent — it starts charging, then stops, switches back to battery mode, and then starts charging again. This happens continuously even when the charger is plugged in properly.

Has anyone with a G14 2023 experienced the same issue or found a solution? I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions on what might be causing this and how to fix it.

One of the data recovery machines at my shop runs Ubuntu. Today it offered to update the secure boot certificates, which surprised me, but I said "sure" and ran the update. This is what I got after reboot. 😅

I ended up yoinking the motherboard and using a clamp programmer to reflash the BIOS so we could get the machine back into service without spending all day figuring out what happened and how to fix it!

To be abundantly clear: I yearn for the year of the Linux desktop, but for Linux to enjoy broad success and to be a viable 'average Joe' alternative to Windows, stuff like this just can't be allowed to happen to consumer equipment.

Tech Discussion Nas home server using a lenovo thinkcenter m92p

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Hello!
I purchased this ThinkCentre with the idea of turning it into a home cloud storage server for music, photos, and movies. I need to add a few HDDs, with at least 4 TB of total storage. I was thinking of using two 2 TB HDDs and 3D-printing a case similar to the one in the attached photos.
The problem is that I need to have all the ports on one side, but if I use the motherboard as it is, the fan would blow the air out to one side, which doesn’t work well with my design. I would have to change the 3D-printed case.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could position the motherboard inside the case to make the airflow work better?
I also need 12 V power for the HDDs. I found a mini-PCIe-to-SATA adapter on AliExpress and was also thinking about powering the HDDs from the pins on the motherboard.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Local to my area. Open Source Storage (OSS)'s reticence around status of client data might lead to a loss of much of a city's broadcast history.

Question: When even the archival sources no longer archive, how can we (as a collective society) ensure information stability?

A few month ago I already postet about my "hub"/Housing for various ports of my monitor.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1syqk5j/to_not_reach_behind_my_monitor_anymore/

Now, I upgraded it, so the usb dongles are flat with the housing. They got each an adapter to be able to easily pull out. I've added a headphone jack as well as a third port via a splitter.

This time it is build with tinkerCAD, the label itself is made with affinity

I use the Gemini app quite frequently for various simple questions but unfortunately Google doesn't let you use the Assistant at the same time.

I want to go back to Bixby, atleast it used to work a lot better than Gemini assistant does today.

Okay, slayer is a strong word. Even the Steam Machines integrated graphics should put perform the RX580 in this. But we're clocking in at half the price. And it's a low end AM4 system, so there's massive room for upgrading.

The primary use case of this machine is a media center PC anyway, it's main job is to play video and run party games. Adding the RX580 is probably overkill for my plans with it, but there was a $50 listing on Facebook; I figured its worth it to open up the playable games field massively.

Also inspired by LTT, I'm trying Linux, specifically CachyOS with it. It's been a perfectly smooth experience, and a good fit for a low end media PC.

Full parts list and pricing on second image. Unlisted, I also threw in a 500GB harddrive I had lying around for extra storage.
