    BliKVM v4 (Another new PiKVM variant from Bli)

    I've purchased one to try. The process of creating adding an ISO to boot from is a PAIN to say the least, it takes 30 minutes between uploading a W11 iso, and then it needs to "convert" it after the upload, and create a partition. And it does not work to boot windows with secure boot, it changes...

    Topton Jasper Lake Quad i225V Mini PC Report

    Prime95 Noticeable at full load, it goes to 3000+ rpm, at 500rpm it is inaudible at 50c, under load it can go to 90c, and it will rev to 3500rpm. running 2 VMs in hyper-v at the moment it barely get over 60c and 20% load, so barely any fan noise

    I was wondering why the cpu was often at 1.8ghz, it seems core 0 is often at lower clock than other cores, this is just W2022 running 1 VM with 2 cores and doing light tasks

    My 5800U boosts to 4.2 ghz at time, but in Prime95 it has not clocked more than 2.2ghz all core. I think there is a power limit on the bios, the cpu TDP is stated as 15W, and in HWinfo, I'm getting exactly 15W @2.2ghz all core. Temps are around 60c. I need to check if I can get all core clocks...

    I have not tried 2019, try 2022 instead perhaps as I'm using it already for a few days. I suggest you download the latest driver pack from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15084/intel-ethernet-adapter-complete-driver-pack.html and use the driver in the PRO2500 folder, there are...

    Topton Jasper Lake Quad i225V Mini PC Report

    Sorry, Ryzen 7 indeed. I used the i226-LM, all good. I tested Windows 11, it installed i226-v drivers. W2022 wunning with opnsense as a VM at the moment. My latency has increased 1ms compared to a Unifi USG. I'll try OPNsense running bare metal to see if there is any difference in latency.

    I got my ryzen 9 delivered today, so far, no luck getting the intel i226-v nics to work in Windows 2022 server, drivers do not install, I'm suspecting it is some sort of fake controller...

    I think it needs motherboard support as most motherboards give only 1 bus to that slow, meanwhile we would need 2 busses due to the 2 TPUs

    I found out on github that it is not just 2 lanes, it needs 2 busses. There is a guy making adapters that can use both TPUs, but it seems in general, most motherboards do not pass 2 busses to a pci-e E key slot, so the adapter needs to work like a switch getting 1 pci lane, divided into 2 busses...

    I'm trying to find out if the Ryzen model has a M.2 E key slot as I want to use a Google Coral TPU with 2 modules, checking this video gives an impression that one of the M.2 slots is E key. What do you guys think? I'm planning to use this TPU G650-06076-01 Coral, M.2 Accelerator, Dual Edge...

    I may run Plex straight on top of Windows 2022 (not as a VM in Hyper-V), so I'm hoping the HW transcoding works.

    Topton Jasper Lake Quad i225V Mini PC Report

    I just purchased the Ryzen 7 5800U model from CWWK, no ram/storage. It was listed for £347, but then I used the code 11Scupoch18 or 11Scupoch6 and brought it down to £317. I tried the code 1111US30 that some of you guys mentioned, but it didn't work for the UK. This will be initially a baremetal...

    I've created a small tutorial showing how to deploy teams with telephony (phone numbers)

    Hello, I've noticed there was no tutorial showing how to deploy Teams / Phone System from scratch so I've created one. A test environment can be easily created with an Office 365 trial and even phone numbers assigned to the system with a calling plan with no costs under the trial period. I...
