Well that's good, BIOS issues are PITA. If you're still having issues:

Sounds like some hidden windows magic, I'd format the drive from a linux live usb then install windows on the blank drive after a reboot

Maybe disconnect the power and CMOS battery for awhile too incase there's something lurking in some onboard memory somewhere.

There's always linux, which is personally what I'd recommend for a server (less overhead from graphical clients etc) if you have the patience to pick it up, but hopefully the above solves your problem

And people accept billionaires like it's a normal thing to have in society..

I think this would be more effective on the fediverse too, bots are trying to engage as wide an audience as possible, which gives us a metric to monitor activity across the fediverse.

For example, a user might post an article to the news community on their preferred instances whereas a bot will unbiasedly post it on all instances it deems fit to share with.

This isn't perfect but it's another metric to help weight and quantify bot activity for an automated defense system. RSS feeds and the like can specifically flag their accounts as automated to avoid misbans from the system too

Lenovo think centre pcs are great home servers, I personally run debian on mine and have zero issues with it

Two things I can think of, it's either some remnant program from the original drive in which case just toss it or re-use it elsewhere and put your HDDs in, you don't know what the state of the OG HDD is anyway and for read/write heavy programs like plex or storage it's probably at a higher chance of failure

It has some kind of BIOS lock, you said you can get into the BIOS but have you tried to change anything? It might prompt you for a password In which case you might be able to reset the BIOS or will have to contact lenovo to sort it out if possible.

The worst BIOS password bypass Ive done is to actually fry the chip storing the password, there is so many things wrong with doing this but it MAY be possible as a last resort so please exhaust all other options before attempting this

Let's all engage in some jolly gender-affirming cooperation!

They're useless because the capital powers that be actively try to misinform the public on preferential voting (As part of a larger attack on education to keep a complicit population)

If I had a dollar every time I heard someone tell me I'm throwing away my vote for preferencing a minor party that has no hope of winning I'd probably have enough money to bribe a politician into making some decent fucking policy

It's well beyond that, we're in a mass extinction event. They should be tried for crimes against humanity, these companies have known the affects of climate change for decades and have been complicit in it.

 

Hi All,

I recently got back on the 3d printing scene after about a decade (Time flies!), the other day I was inspecting a failed print for a spool holder and noticed the Z axis striations seemed to follow some kind of oscillating pattern for the most part.

This made me think of the early day flight recording units and I thought if we were able to quantify these oscillations and compare them to the gcode we could derive what types of movement are causing these issues and hopefully troubleshoot them (perhaps even beyond our naked eyes capabilities)

So I drew up this back of an envelope concept and since I'm relatively inexperienced with 3D printing, I wanted to post it here and see what the communities thoughts are on it.

If it seems like a worthwhile endeavour I would be happy to invest my time in making it a reality and could hopefully publish this work (under FOSS of course) to help benefit everyones prints.
