QNAP with average workload ~6

My new network attached storage server is giving me restless nights.
The workload goes up to 6. As a result the qnaps freezes and is not useable for a few minutes.
Whether syslog, nor Top or dmesg can help me indicating the root of the evil !

I guess i have to send the qnap back, but then what?
- Order the same qnap again
- Order the bigger brother with better CPU and more RAM
- Look for another NAS of an utterly different company

It's time for a canon

I love my DSLR.
Read today this article in Gizmodo.
Seems Canon still does it better.

But seriously, DSLR fotographers using Live View and Video Mode with a DSLR, a shame...

Finally a happy ending for me

Well, it turned out, I don't need Dell's hardware support anyway.

My bf's fast&furious hardware repairing skills outrules Dell's slow and out-of-reach one. My Dell got all fixed up in only 2 minutes. The problem was a loosened circuit board around the power button.

Yeaaahhh...it turned out to be a great day indeed.

Dell needs hardware support

My brandnew Dell has already technical malfunction. The power button got stuck somehow.
And I really DO NEED tech Supoort RIGHT NOW!
But Dell's tech support is operating from Monday to Friday from 8am. to 18pm.

Well, DELL please, everyone needs a 24/7 Support Line to call Tech Support.
This is somewhat disappointing.

Well, lets call the collect and repair service tomorrow and see what happens.

My brandnew Dell

The UPS delivery called me at 7:00 AM this early morning to tell me that my brand new Dell arrived at the Airport today.

WTF..7AM??? UPS this sucks.

Anyway, Dellīs Studio15 has a nice design. I have to get used to it, since the handling is rather different than my Sony Vaio.

Resurrection of the Lexmark C521

About 1 year ago, my Lexmark Color Laser Printer went dead. Lexmarks Support Line babbled something about a possible mainboard damage. A fix / renewal of the board would cost 400euro plus extra shipping fee.
The new price for the color laser printer was about 560euro. So that was kind of a business not worthy to be agree on. So the laser printer became a meaningless floor decoration for almost 1 year. That idea was to RIP the printer when the (free)time was right.

So a few days ago, the idea rose up. Why not getting rid of the huge damaged laser printer ? So before slaughtering it, I turned the printer on for the last time of its life. So i thought...

And what happened ? The printer resurrected to its overall printing functionalities. W-E-I-R-D !!
So what happened to its so-called damaged mainboard ? This one sounds to me like a patient wakening from a long term craniocerebral injury.
Still, W-E-I-R-D ...

Wow fake iphones !

Fake IPhones made in China: IFauxne

They offer some goodies, the regular IPhone does not offer. For example: removable battery and dual sim card slots.
Wait a minute, I need that !!
