I used to do a fair bit in the web hosting and was at one point investing and installing hardware for a small data centre, but things fell through like Covid/ukraine/Middle East/china crisis. So this has been postponed for now, but I did install cat 8 cables, but not much. The cat 7a cables...

I didn’t think I would need to give specs of my pc as it was only cable management. I would never cut the wires with any chance of damage to myself or my cats as the case is metal. I would cut the wires not in use, and I would cap the wires by using heat shrink, I would then dip the wires in a...

I have laid down new Ethernet cables when we last did major maintenance on our home, cat7a and a couple cat8 cables. My ISP currently provides 1.25Gig, with an upgrade to at least 2.5gig. A rival ISP came to let us know that our internet may go down as they work on the grid, but we had to get...

Hello So I built my pc, and I have updated and changed parts over the last couple of years, and well I have a fully wired PSU, the fan wires are all over the place, the storage devices that I have, all the wires are kind of kept in some sort of order, but as the PSU has many branches that are...

I know the £15 price is extremely unlikely, I just said that if there is one I will buy it (without any deep research into the device). The switch that cruisetung posted is within my budget, just, and “looks perfect” for what I am after.

Hello I am more than sure you are aware that 2.5gb, 5gb, and 10gb switches are not exactly cheap, like the lower speed rated ones. I have been keeping an eye out, but I have not found one that is in my budget, as they are all triple digits, I am after ones that cost low double digits, I have...

So I also watch man + river, and they find things like phones that have been missing for months, the boards are mostly corroded, but the person who needs a picture off the phone, they can send it in to others who can retrieve the data and if that is partially damaged they seem to get the data…...

Gello Sorry, for the vague title. I didn’t want to overly complicate it. Full question: How can you remove all data from a hard disk drive, ssd… flash memory (if that isn’t an ssd)? So, I am not sure how true anything below is true, just knowledge from college, previous schooling, and...

I have an “ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING K4 ATX AM4 Motherboard” and my case is a “corsair carbide spec-04” Is the correct grammar either I have “a” ASRock… or I have “an” ASRock…

Hello So, I am unsure if this is related or not, but the pins you use to power up the PC, and other pins for the front I/O bits, the connectors are very fiddley and I don't think they are sat right. So, do they make a solid "extension" so I can plug the wires in with easy of access then use the...

Okay, so would a 2.5Gbps switch be okay to use? They call it a hub… well virgin media does… if it’s not a hub why call it that it confuses people. So what is technically a hub?

The hub is virgin media’s hub 5. we had a broken hub 3 since hub 3 came out, sometime maybe 2015?2016? I can’t remember when they installed the cat5 cable, but it was some 20years ago, maybe done by NTL back in 2001, but not sure if the cat5 cables were out then… downstairs there is no need...

Hello sorry for being away… not been too well… anyway… I am adding pictures of The way the house is wired. so, a man from virgin media told me the cable I need to future proof the house, as I had old cables with bits of new… i had cat 5 running most of the house, and was paying for 300mbps...

Hello according to sam knows, my speed to my router is greater than 1Gbps, anyway the router has a 2.5gbps Ethernet output, this cable goes to my Apple AirPort Extreme 6th gen, then I have 2 Ethernet cables 1 that goes directly into my PC, and another goes into a switch allowing me to hard wire...
