Won't you spare me over til another year?
I think something is wrong with this bot...
I was working on a personal project when a friend visited. I went through a quick series of successes and failures with my project and openly emoted at each, afterward he said to me "I've never seen anyone go through so many emotions in such a short amount of time."
Sooo many awesome suggestions here for you, OP!
One thing I don't think I've seen yet, is that you should create your calendar events as barebones as possible and then edit them to add each additional detail. This will notify everyone else attached of the updates to your event, every time you update any of them.
At work, my work calendar is shared with the entire company to see. I like it as it lets people easily schedule meetings with me, know at which of the two locations (or at home) I am.
"Fun" fact: Outlook and Teams have a Scheduling assistant feature that makes that unnecessary. If a person wants to schedule a meeting with you, they don't need access to your calendar to check availability. They just add you, pick a day, and it will suggest to them time slots you have open in your calendar for that day. There's no longer a need to share an Outlook calendar with anyone just so they can know when you're free to meet.
After finding a video for a VERY similar desktop version of this module, I'm inclined to think you're right now. The case for putting these on a desktop does have 2 fans mounted to the top rear. Disassembly in the video does not show or indicate that they have any power cables that require unplugging.
I think you're right. I just looked up a video of a version of this module with an outer case, for desktop use. Otherwise looks the same inside. It looks like this might provider power to 2 top-rear mounted fans.
Maybe? It's brushed over and not directly acknowledged in any documentation for the products that show it. If it is, I'm surprised they didn't at least label it as such on the documentation so people would know it's not intended for consumer use.
I initially thought that, too, but I've never seen a fan connector like what's on the board. Judging from the product shots and manual illustrations, the case appears to have all of its fans, and they have more direct connections to the PSU.
Not saying you're wrong (I have no idea lol) or arguing, just how I went from thinking fans too, to doubting it.
Recently got a Sonnet xMac Pro Server case to put my MacPro6,1 into my rack. I'm getting things fitted into the Thunderbolt expansion housing and noticed this board with a socket on it. The board has power wired from the PSU, but there's nothing in the manual/product details (even though it's in the illustrations) that indicate what this connector is or what its intended purpose is. Can anyone enlighten me?

*I am aware they are "B"s, but I keep seeing them as "R"s lol
I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?
If anyone had any tips/tricks for any of these models, idy love to hear them! I want to do these right by their awesomeness and make them look good!
This thing was a simple kit made into a beast with the way I went about layering blacks to get one that was slightly lighter than black-black and kept some of the metallic of the base coat. I'd have done another but it wouldn't go with what I have planned for it without the different head types for the V. Oh well, 2/3 done! This is my take on the Victory coloring for the Rear Shrike Corps from Crossbone Ghost.
HG Zaku II C5 (bc I can't find a C6) for Font Baud in the Crossbone Ghost scene I'm now putting together.
I didn't like the greens used in the kit, so I grabbed some cans of Valejo Goblin Green and Russian Green. The grey's/blacks/browns were painted with Testor's Graphite Grey Metallic. The backpack was painted with Testor's Diamond Dust and given a couple of quick sprays of Ironlak Black Techie, for texture. Bc this is the only suit of the 3 that's "old," I used an acrylic Satin topcoat to give it a fuller look compared to the X0 and V that will accompany it.
Since the Zaku is the only non-combatant in the 4-way fight of Crossbone Ghost, I grabbed a box of Build Hands Round. I was a little surprised when I got them, as all the small, medium, and large options were noticeably different in size from the hands included with the Zaku kit. In the end, I went with the medium, as they were closest (smaller, but still closest.)

What doozy this one is! The build was great! Took me forever but that was on me.
In my now-fashion, I gave it a coat of paint, this time in more places than I usually do. Every piece of the internal frame got painted this time around. I did not paint the yellows bc it's an iconic color to me and I haven't found the right metallic yellow (I don't want gold) yet. I also used a few glitter coats of differing glitter fineness. The finest one was used on the yellows as a light coat to give it some shimmer. I actually really wanted this puppy to shimmer. I used the medium fine to spray on the psycho frame pieces, as well as on the funnel stand segments closest to the flying fins, and the coarser glitter spray on the segments closest to the stand. I was hoping to kind of recreate the summer trail left behind psycho controlled funnels. I also got some of the newer style LED pucks for MG so I decided this guy should have one!
Some things I noticed when building this big boi:
Articulation is awesome!
The few color changing stickers were a very welcome change to the foil stickers of HGs. They were super sticky and pliable. It found it to be no problem using a lil extra thumb force to get a lil stretch on then in areas they didn't quite reach far enough. I also didn't realize they were even part of the kit until opening it, so I ended up painting the light grey ones to match the light silver I used.
These suckers are not built to hold 6 funnels on one shoulder without great care. If 6 fins are on the backpack and it's placed on the stand, it leans lol it's not a snug fit to the back/backpack from the stand.
I did get the P-Bandai double funnel set to go with this (I know I didn't config the Nu for double fins on the backpack, but I like that cool sabre ๐) and the dang fins just don't want to stay shut enough to keep the lil effects in place (as seen in the gallery)
The double fin set also came with ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ an exact duplicate of the stand included with the Ver.Ka ๐คฆโโ๏ธ SoI guess I have a spare now ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Overall a great build! Now it's time to move on to the HG "scene" from Crossbone Ghost I've been planning!

I just tested on iOS to try to translate a title and this doesn't work within Voyager. Long pressing a title to select and translate will instead take you into the post/comments and attempting a long press to select and translate a title from there just collapses the post body ๐
