The more exterior black wire is thicker than the other ones. You can't really see it in the photos. I am thinking it is the same as the grey wire labeled as ground in the AE pic.
What am I measuring? The white box that clips in is exactly 1cm. All these connectors (which I believe are called JST) with 5 pins are labeled as being "1.25" but I can't tell if that's dimensional. But what else would it be? I can't find any that are 1cm.
a long as the letters don't type upside down
I mean if I'm going to buy component for the purpose, and there is a clip type thing on the board already, it seems like just obtaining the correct part would be the thing to do if possible. Rather than buying the wrong piece, dismantling the device further and possibly breaking it in the process. (It is really cheap and flimsy.) I've spliced things but that's like more something to do when salvaging or putting something together from what's on hand.
Neat little gizmos though I'll file it away for another project perhaps.
why is it better?
just to check my understanding: a 4 port card provides different capability than a 1 or 2 port card with a switch attached, yes?
thanks for all the info!
i am definitely a person who will always change the defaults for no particular reason. so I appreciate the warning. except I don't quite know what you mean by "assignments". do you mean like the names? eth0? or their functions? I do like the idea of having a physical jack that's always guaranteed to allow access no matter what I foul up otherwise.
all these years I have been running my home network with a collection of routers just kind of attached together in a way that shouldn't work due to "double nat" according to everything I ever read, but it is pretty much functional if not at all optimized. maybe if you don't believe in double nat it won't happen to you.
that sounds useful.
i like to keep things separate when plausible.
I was hoping to make use of one of the various computers I have cluttering this place up so I could justify continuing the collection. ;)
Do you know how to determine suitability of an existing card, or how to correctly purchase a replacement?
Does "interface" mean you need separate cards? Or you have a single card with multiple interfaces?
Is DMZ like a guest network?
I looked up "IDS/IPS" and it wounds like something I would prefer to avoid doing if I can.
I have settled into kasts. Thanks for the rec. :) It is simple but does the job. If my phone issues persist I will try the flatpack of cpod.
Maybe you could get a transluscent replacement ball. To get the full rgb experience. I am pretty sure the tracking can work with that?
I have had the chance to use it on a few different devices and ROMs. Been with it since before name change.
Performance, especially bugginess is highly variable. I don't know if it's the phone, the ROM, other apps, settings or what. Sometimes it is smooth and you forget its there. other times it is crashing every 5 mins, sometimes without being fully recoverable. Like on a certain set up my widgets would disappear when it crashed and widgets aren't in the backup so you have to redo them from scratch.
If it doesn't work on you current device just don't give up on it and whenever you get a new one give it a spin again.
