It looks as if I was wrong on the timeline of the $5 Deposit. It's no longer available and I'm really sorry for mentioning it in the video. That is my mistake and I'll try to do better! 2. I forgot to make a last minute fix, but UGreen said that email updates will be added in a later update. 3. I've reached out to UGreen again for clarification on the "warranty void" sticker. Here is the response: "Since the location of the equipment is relatively important if the user disassembles or assembles it, there is a high probability that the equipment will malfunction, so UGREEN has put this label on it to warn users. What we actually want to express is that UGREEN will no longer provide the service for any malfunction or damages resulting from overhaul, modification, or disassembly performed by any agency or individual not authorized by UGREEN. But if the problem has nothing to do with user disassembly, UGREEN will still provide the warranty service." ► Want to support the channel and unlock some perks in the process?

This probably wasn't smart. #minipc #pcrepair #techrepair I FORGOT TO MENTION that the ch341a programmer I used has a flwa in that it doesn't work correctly when not using the 1.8v adapter. When it's supposed to have 3.3v on the data pins, it actually has 5v which could cause issues when working with 3.3v chips. There is a mod, or you can buy version 1.6 which is built properly. This @Adamant_IT video explains it much better than I could. ► https://youtu.be/7_mnuuXyPiI ch341a I'm using (has issues when using 3.3V but can be modded; works fine on 1.8v) ► https://amzn.to/3ZMn9Js --------------------------------------------------- Music (in order): "Hardware Haven Theme" -Me (https://youtu.be/FwD2mOYDPNA) "If You Want To" - Me "CRENSHAW VIBES" - GARRISON (https://soundcloud.com/garrison-brown) "VULF JAMS" - GARRISON "The Butterfly Nose" - GARRISON "Sunshower" - LATASHÁ(https://soundcloud.com/best-music-pro...) --------------------------------------------------- Gear I Use: (affiliate links) ► Camera - LUMIX G7 https://amzn.to/3LmfGdk ► SD Cards - SanDisk Extreme PRO https://amzn.to/3BPXrd1 ► Capture Card - EVGA XR1 https://amzn.to/3Bn8qt7 ► Studio Lights https://amzn.to/3BnYrUd ► Microphone - Shure SM7b https://amzn.to/3BP0TEB ► Interface - Presonus Quantum https://amzn.to/3QVeX3T ► Teleprompter https://amzn.to/3BxcN50 --------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:24 What's Going On??? 1:12 Testing System 1 3:00 Testing System 2 3:51 Testing System 3 4:30 Disassembling System 3 7:40 Testing RAM 9:24 Interesting 13:38 Diagnosing System 3 15:45 Disassembling System 2 16:40 Trying RAM 18:51 Disassembling System 1 19:20 Trying RAM 20:35 Status of all RAM 21:34 Swapping CPU 1 into Sys 3 28:50 CPU 3 into Sys 1 32:00 Recap after some work off camera 33:44 What could it be? 34:27 NOT THE END 34:50 "I did some messing around" 36:40 Flashing System 1 as well 37:14 The Results

I just don’t have much experience with it, but I will try it out later, maybe even before I set this up in my home! - PFSense can do basically all of those things with other packages; why not do that? Honestly, I wasn’t aware of all the packages available, especially the experimental ones. But I also like the flexibility of containers and VMs. I can easily swap to OPNSense later without having to set everything else up again if I want for example. Also, software preference is a thing. It doesn’t mean I think running everything bare metal is a bad idea. Quite the opposite! I built a virtualized router similar to this a while back, but now I'm going to take it to the next level and build my "ULTIMATE" router.

CORRECTIONS: - at 2:18, I mention using identical drives. It seems like many people actually recommend using slightly different drives, or at least drives that weren't made at roughly the same time to better avoid both drives failing within a short time span of one another. - at 11:20, I use cloudflare's DNS(1.1.1.1), but this might cause issues with certain routers. Use your router's IP address here as well. I decided to give TrueNAS Scale a try on the HP Pavilion 500-c60 (I called it the 500-a60 in previous videos, which is essentially the same model). --------------------------------------------------- Music (in order): "Hardware Haven Theme" - Me "Sunshower" - LATASHÁ(https://soundcloud.com/best-music-promotion/latasha-sunshower) "If you want to" - Me "CRENSHAW VIBES" - GARRISON (https://soundcloud.com/garrison-brown) "The Butterfly Nose" - GARRISON --------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:32 The System 1:34 What I'd Like To Beat 1:50 Upgrades 3:43 Some Issues Issues 4:33 Disclaimer 5:01 Installation 8:37 Setting an IP Address 11:33 Credentials - Group 12:08 Credentials - User 12:48 Creating a Pool and Dataset 14:34 Setting up SMB 17:00 Notes on Apps, VMs 17:22 Protection and Backup 18:02 Synology Comparisons 20:17 Closing Thoughts

UPDATES/CORRECTIONS: - I apologize if you came to this video expecting a computer that was readily available for $50. I wasn’t trying to be misleading, and I’m hoping to get better at making titles and thumbnails. - The Minecraft server portion of this will probably not run very well on older or low end hardware. I’m currently working on a video to run a much more optimized server on old hardware. - If you don’t know an available IP address, find the IP of your router and login. From there you can find the DHCP settings. You can probably find your server by name here. If you save or reserve that IP in your router settings, it won’t change. - It seems like there are some changes to newer versions of Ubuntu Server, so try using the same version I used in the video. I'll try to find time to look into common issues/fixes. In this one, we're once again taking a look at the HP Pavilion 500-a60, but now we're setting it up as a home server. --------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:36 The System 2:28 Installing Linux 4:10 Network Setup and Open SSH 6:18 Samba 8:17 Plex 10:58 Docker and Home Assistant 13:34 Minecraft Server 14:40 Power Consumption and Cost 15:39 Closing Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- Music (in order): "Hardware Haven Theme" - Me "If You Want To" - Me "CRENSHAW VIBES" - GARRISON (https://soundcloud.com/garrison-brown) "Town Groove" - Me "The Butterfly Nose" - GARRISON "VULF JAMS" - GARRISON "Living Mice" - C418 (https://c418.org) "Dog" - C418
