    [SOLVED] Camera for a kid

    I suppose I have an update. My kids have no interest for this camera. The old s33 had various effects that they loved. So, I have a camera for sale lol lol

    very useful. Thanks. TG6 is noticeably quieter, probably due to the extra durability. But it sounded a bit clearer.

    [SOLVED] Camera for a kid

    Guys thanks. I didn't see any xp140 at a reasonable price locally or on ebay, so I snagged 130 for $60: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254837214851 Comes with charger so 💪🔥

    you know. why not. I think it'd be neat to hear what other underwater cameras sound like outside of the lake :). Thanks

    [SOLVED] Camera for a kid

    Oy. Looking for an upgrade for my kids COOLPIX S33. It's an awesome little camera, drop proof, water proof, has special effects, has a separate button for video. Basically it's just complex enough for a kid to enjoy. And best of all, I think it was like $20 off ebay.. But it's lacking in a...

    [SOLVED] Annoying fan sound when start spinning

    Just plug fans into a power dongle instead of motherboard, or a separate fan controller.

    [SOLVED] Why HD prices are still so high?

    Yeap! Noticed last night, asking BB for a price match. Maybe they'll keep going down in price :) ? My boot drive is 960 Evo. It's so fast, the only reason to upgrade is more space :) 8TB nvme for a NAS is probably more expensive than a car ;p

    [SOLVED] What do y'all use for stress testing (burning in) a new HD?

    Hi, thanks. I was coming up with a different paid version of Sentinel so I didn't bother. I'll give this a try. Any particular reason you linked to version 5? Also, I stumbled on the Moss act earlier today, good stuff. Every one in the shucking scene should be aware.

    [SOLVED] What do y'all use for stress testing (burning in) a new HD?

    Taking apart enclosure doesn't void the warranty. At least not at BestBuy or Amazon. From Reliability Engineering, this is probably the simplest and most accurate way to think of a burn-in test: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve

    [SOLVED] What do y'all use for stress testing (burning in) a new HD?

    Hm.. it doesnt load any info for me. Messed with it for a while and moved on. After some more googling and time on NAS forums, I found Bart's Stuff Test & HD Tune . They're both a step closer, but dont offer a long test. Still looks like CC cleaner is going to be the tool I'll leave running...

    [SOLVED] What do y'all use for stress testing (burning in) a new HD?

    # of posts, like age, doesn't translate to knowledge. That said, secure wipe to stress a drive is a great idea, and I do like the CC cleaner suggestion. That feature wasn't available last time I used it. In the past, I found CC cleaner to be 80% awesome, 20% virus. It's the non-awesome part...
