Managed to get an Intel Arc Pro B50 on Monday from the 'Egg. It's nice. Not crazy fast, but the 16GB of (error correcting) VRAM allows me to load larger LLMs than I'm used to with my existing Nvidia 3070 card. In fact, LM Studio allows me to use both cards to load even larger models and/or have larger context windows together with the Vulkan drivers. (24GB across the two GPUs) -- That's been nice.

Does anyone know where I can pick up an Arc Pro B60 (24GB) model?

The B50 is a great value at $350 and it would be nice to have a B60 so that I can have them run in tandem for a total of 40GB of VRAM.

What I am trying to replace: This awful 10.8v - 12.6v battery pack (HBJ-12680) -- No BMS (!): https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/0vkAAOSwoT5lKP4I/s-l1600.jpg

What I have: a bunch of 18650 Li-ion cells

What I would like: I'm thinking a 3s1p battery box with basic BMS with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm connector with on/off switch and indicator light.

Does such a product exist? Where would I find something like this?

My one Linux box keeps losing its IP address. When I go look in /var/log/syslog, sure enough, there is a line that says:

dhcpcd[346]: eth0: hardware address f4:b8:98:xx:xx:xx claims 192.168.1.2

f4:b8:98:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address of my Airthings and 192.168.1.2 is the hardcoded (static) IP address of my Linux box. (DHCP range is set to 192.168.1.6 thru .254, in case anyone was wondering.)

I tried moving my Linux box to .1.3, but Airthings claims that IP address as well before actually pulling an IP address associated with the wireless network. The problem with this is that my Linux box seems a bit too polite and backs off the claim of the IP address and then removes its IP addres

Have this old 4-drive NAS chassis: https://static.mini-itx.com/store/images/3886-01L.jpg

And I'd like to replace the existing motherboard (which is sooo noisy) with a low-power and quiet N100 or N150 mini ITX board. Only requirements aside from that would be 4 SATA ports. Would also like an ATX power connector on the board since I have a 250w PSU.

Any recommendations? I couldn't find any that met these requirements. But maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

This WLAN Channel page on Wikipedia shows that there is a 20 Mhz wide channel 32. Yet I seem to be unable to select this channel for any of the APs in my Unifi network.

My Unifi network has a couple old (2.4/5ghz) AP-AC Lites and a U6-Lite AP. I also noticed that Ch 169, 173, and 177 were also unavailable, but the wikipedia chart shows them as valid.

Any idea why these channels are not select-able in Radio Manager?
