Hi,
I just wanted to share the recent "free time" project I did with some HW I had at home.
I decided to build a water cooling stand for my Surface Pro 9.
I got inspired by all those TEC mobile cooling (Peltier effect) devices and wanted to take it a step further.

• I used a notebook stand tilted forward,
• Thermo-glued 3 aluminium-water blocks to the back (2 would be enough I guess, but I ain't gone try to remove the middle one)
• The water-cooler assembly is sold on amazon as a RPI5 water cooling set. It's an absolute overkill for RPI5, and still an overkill even for this project.
• The only problem I had is to solve the heat transmission "pad" between surface and the aluminium stan

Hi,Has anybody by chance faced (and successfully solved) the issue that it seems like newer computers (with more recent Intel CPUs) simply won't recognize older thunderbolt (TB1 and TB2) devices? In my case it's Motu 828es. Which uses Thunderbolt 1 as far as I know.

Simply plugging it into those newer notebooks, nothing would happen. Also the Motu wouldn't even switch from USB to Thunderbolt mode (if it was in USB). It's like if nothing would be plugged in at all. PC wouldn't detected any change, neither would the Motu.

I tried all the usual stuff. Different TB cables (both work on other machines), different TB2->TB3 adapters (both apple and StarTech, both work on other machines), check

First to clarify 2 things. A) I work at SW area so let's say I might be more demanding/vigilant user. B) I own SP4 (top spec), docking station, keyboards, headphones - all surface so I really wanted to give SP8 a go/chance. And decided for the 32GB version

So my experience starts there First it was a challenge to order my device in Europe. 32GB versions seemed out of stock. DE store support was useless, saying that I sure can order it and it's in stock. But when I told them - go ahead and do that for me, they figured out (after some 25minutes) that devices are really out of stock and they "have no idea when they will be in stock again".... And that I can only order my SP832GB version withou

Hi,
A few days ago I noticed that, in some of my rooms, light automations became somehow delayed (by approx. 5 seconds) which is very annoying (standing in the room waiting until lights turn on)
I then figured out that the same issue is present for each light automation which is controlled by ST motion sensor (latest generation). And I have 5 of those. Are you aware of any recent FW update? Or is this a "known issue"?
According to ST my current FW version is 00...014

No problem with IKEA's motion sensors (I have 2 of them) or Hue motion sensor (1x)
