    Type of Wireless-N (150 or 300) not specified in notebook advertising

    In a recene JB Hi-Fi catalog, all of the notebooks in it (excpept one which was not specified) had Wireless-N support (it would become standard issue considering that the 802.11N standard has been ratified), but they did not specify the type of Wireless-N (150 or 300), because not all Wireless-N clients and access points support 300 Mbit.
    From what I have read, all Intel wireless clients which support 802.11N supports 300 Mbit; so if an Intel wireless client is included in the notebook, it would support 300 Mbit.

    Do you think advertising of notebooks with internal Wireless-N clients should indicate the speed of the client (150 or 300)? I think so.

    Also, do you know of any internal Wireless-N (Mini-PCI or Mini-PCI Express) clients for notebooks which only support 150 Mbit?
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      i agree... i would go further and say they should put the BRAND of the wireless in there...

          Hardware firewall to block ad servers?
          by Hondaman
          I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)

          The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist...

          Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
          by m1ch43lzm
          Hi everyone
          I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
          Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

          Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
          There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

          Maximum speed should be marked on network ports
          by japlytic
          I noted that a number of consumer entertainment devices have the maximum speed marked on the wired network port and considering that there are broadband plans faster than 100 Mbit, the wired network port can be a bottleneck since some routers do not have Gigabit (only 100 Mbit) support for the WAN port let alone the wired network ports.

          One other thing: Certain low cost network cables only have two pairs which limits speed to 100 Mbit.​

          Request: Dell PowerEdge R340 iDRAC9 SPI dump (Winbond 25Q032)
          by maximus-bullitt
          Hi everyone,

          I’m working on a Dell PowerEdge R340 (Service Tag: JTMLKB2).
          The iDRAC is bricked — system hangs at “iDRAC initializing,” fans at 100%, and no VGA output.
          The cause is a bad firmware flash to the iDRAC SPI.

          Board details:
          - Model: Dell PowerEdge R340 (14G)
          - iDRAC version: iDRAC9
          - Flash chip: Winbond 25Q032 (32 Mbit / 4 MB)
          - Location: iDRAC EEPROM near the BMC (ASPEED AST chip)
          - Tool used: CH341A programmer

          What I need:
          - A clean, working 4 MB `.bin` dump of the 25Q032 from another R340...
