So I picked up 3x Dell ReadyRails II B6 a while back in anticipation of buying some Dell servers and whatnot. Well I finally got around to buying a R710 and a MD1000. Much to my chagrin, I realized that the ReadyRails II's I have are not compatible with these products.

Does anyone have compatible rails for a 1:1 trade? I looked up the compatible rails in the Dell rail compatibility matrix, and am looking for the following rails:

r/note7•

I was in a bit of pickle with a US bought Note 7 (post 1st recall replacement already). I had travelled to China right after the swap, and won't be returning to the States until the end of the month. The flights would have been an issue, given the recent bans and federal crimes and whatnot.

Did a bit of digging, and it is possible to return a Note 7 purchased overseas in China. However, the refund will be in RMB, and it must be refunded to a China Bank Account. The account holder will need their National ID in hand as well.

Luckily, I have a relative here who can help me out.

Here is some contact info for others in a similar situation:

r/uber•

I'm travelling in China and got a local sim card.

Unfortunately, when I changed my number in Uber, I fat fingered the last digit. So now I can't receive the verification text, and the app won't let me change the number to the correct one or my old one.

I've emailed and used the in app help, but no response for over a day now.

Anyone run into this issue before? Have any tips on how to fix it or get around it?

I've been able to change numbers on my account before with not issues, don't know why this time is such a hassle.

Just found out that my AGI is too high to contribute to a Roth IRA.

It looks like a recharacterization to a Traditional IRA and backdooring into a Roth IRA again may be too much hassle for me since I have some other options on how to use the money.

I'm mainly wondering about how my unrealized losses affect the amount I need to withdraw, if at all.

If I have $1500 in losses, do I only need to withdraw $4000? Or do I need to withdraw $5500 regardless of gains or losses?

The form I'm filling out for the excess withdraw seems to touch on this topic slightly, but provides no guidance on how I would calculate something like this.

Thanks in advance.

A rich CEO flies his private jet across the country to get an appointment with the best gynecologist in the business.

"Doctor," he says, "I'm not happy with the state of my sex life, and I want to you to castrate me today."

The doctor is shocked and asks, "Oh my... Okay, have you thought about this decision and what it will mean for you?"

With some irritation, the CEO replies, "Of course I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm the CEO of a multi-billion dollar business. I flew my personal jet here just so I could get the best doctor in the business to do this operation. I know what I want, I'm confident in my decisions, and I never look back."

"Okay," says the doctor, "I just want you to be 1

Went to China for work and stayed for about 5 weeks. I brought my Project Fi phone with me. Since the connectivity in China was a big reason for me to try out Project Fi, I thought I'd share my data point with everyone else.

Unfortunately, I was not able to get hard numbers on speeds and etc. due to SpeedTest not working very well behind the Great Firewall. So we'll just have to make do with my subjective observations.

  • China Unicom was the only carrier I was able to get 4G access on. I don't know for sure, but if I recall correctly, Unicom uses the same bands as AT&T and some other US carriers. I did not have luck getting 4G with China Mobile, or any other provider that I tested.

r/engineering•

So I'm working on a project that calls for a GE RX3i PLC.

Because I like to have pretty drawings, I decide to pull up a nice CAD graphic from the manufacturer's website to use on my drawings instead of just a rectangle.

I am very surprise when I am find that they lock their CAD graphics behind a login wall.

Highly irksome, but I'll deal with it.

Go through an annoying sign up process. Wait for the confirmation email. Go back to website, log in. Note: this is several days after my initial find of the file, due to waiting for the email and waiting a day just to make sure it's propagated through their system.
