Today I mounted my Toughbook CF-19 port replicator, model WEB184.

I’m using it mounted on wall, with disabled built in screen, only using my TV as main display in 1080p resolution.

While i was using VGA port on Toughbook CF-19 i had no problem in setting up 1080p resolution, but after using port replicator, maximal allowed to select resolution was 1024px !

Here is how i mannaged to get proper resolution

sudo cvt 1920 1080 60

This command will display calculated data for Your screen called newmode, copy it and paste in bellow code

Create new sh file, and add +x execution

!/bin/bash
xrandr –newmode “1920x1080_60.00” 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr –addmode VGA-1 1920x1080_60.00
xrandr –output VGA-1 –mode 1920x1080_60.00

You can add this script to Your desktop or menu, click it while being docked and it change resolution to 1080p

Hiroyasu HI-R23 – BUDGET Zello PoC 4G LTE Walkie Talkie – making it more civilized by changing system font size. God know why it’s not delivered with smallest possible font! Default setting make Zello “unusable” – thankfully couple clicks make it “fine”. Connect via degular micro USB cable and execute

"adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS"

then navigate to “display” and change font size.

I recommend use also “total control” and connect to WiFi and Zello using computer keyboard… most like You do it only once… why not help Yourself?

Recently I observed that my Terramaster NAS server start being filled up to it’s max capacity (11TB), I conclude reason for that state are my RAW Youtube Videos but it’s ended up NOT being case, let’s take look what took over 5TB of space.

Above You can see over 5TB in TimeMachine backups! By design Apple TimeMachine was intended to use TimeCapsule or external drive that should be dedicated strictly for making backups, after being fill to it’s max capacity (it delete oldest backups) and proces keeps cycling, everything looks perfect unless we have NAS server with RAID storage that will allow store size that’s being multiple times of MacBook HDD… You will end up with NAS being full.

How to resolve this issue and make TimeMachine backup stop using all space and limit itself?

Copy and unzip following file into root directory of Your afp:// NAS server.

Unzip File and edit it via any code editor (press command + shift + dot to show hidden files) – file that I uploaded have limit of 2.5TB – adjust it if needed to reflect Your HDD size + 150% – make sure entire hdd can be backed up entirely + have at least 150% space for things that get deleted in meantime and replaced by new data.

Wait some time until You’r Time Machine detect it and start freeing up space(backup now does not trigger it in my case!)

Sign-in into NAS and be happy from space You just reclaimed!

During moving meal brackets inside my old Ikea PS metal cabinet (16778) but they were used for lot of different models – got lost. I was searching for replacement and I located there is possibility to buy genuine one as 2024 (cabinet is from 1999) so I can say – Ikea have good support… but PRICE….

I lost whole bag… so I would need multiple pieces and re-buying them alone sky rocket price beyond what it’s worth. Thankfully I managed to order replacement one from Aliexpress at good price.

Here I share model number so You know with one give You perfect fit and it’s good for budget.

Aliexpress one are marked as: 2.50X1.60X1.60CM
