Any question answered...

you can also search for Thunderbolt 3 type C should do the same thing

Sorry to be asking this again... I’ve got a fork with a 1.25” tapered steerer. Going into a straight 44mm tube I would be looking for an ec44/30 headset. Is there a crown race out there that will let me use a ec44/40 headset that isn’t the lauf one? As far as I can tell it’s got a bit of an awkward bearing angle.

My searching isn’t really being very successful, I can buy a cane creek 110 ec44/33 for about £65. But I’d like to move away from the 1.25” headset if possible as it seems pretty obscure.

Hope and Chris King make plates for this. So to use a CK inset 7 (which I think is the same spec as your headset you want to use?) with a 1 1/8 steerer you would get the 'devolution baseplate' to go from 1 1/8 - 1 1/2.

Edit: seems Cane creek do too? https://r2-bike.com/CANE-CREEK-crown-race-40er-series-EC-ZS-IS52-1-1-2-reducer-to-1-1-8-steel

You're missing the point. He has the annoying 1.25" lower, not 1.125"

The Cane Creek will last 110 years, which is longer than you or the fork (or probably Cane Creek) will last. Might as well go that route rather than fitting an adapter crown race just to get a 1.5" lower bearing.

You've got to look on the bright side, at least you're not stuck with one of those frames (mostly Cannondales) which will only take a 1.25 lower 🙂

oooh right, yes point missed

Excellent, thanks.

No-brainer then.

I bought this which seems to do the job. USB from laptop to first monitor. First monitor works as USB hub for mouse, keyboard and camera. 2nd monitor daisy chains by DP from the first.

Yeah, I’ve resigned myself. Was more than I wanted to spend on this but it’s pretty much the only option.

@spotter another weird thing happened. Originally I wasn't getting full resolution on my 27" monitor. I thought that might be some limitation of the cable. flipped the monitor end 180 degrees and it fixed the 27", but reduced the resolution of the 24". Flipped the docking station end and now both have full resolution.

A lot of servers will have UPSs (batteries) that will keep them going while they cleanly shut down. Also, errors on a single disc ('bitrot') can be detected by some filesystems.

Very odd, sounds like a dodgy cable

Probably, working now though.

is there some sort of USB plug to convert a non wireless printer into wireless?

If it has a wired networking (ethernet) connection this is easy - there are dongles that convert wireless to ethernet. We used this thing by Vonets

Probably cheaper and easier to buy a basic bitch wireless printer tho.

cheaper

basic bitch wireless printer

Yeah until you print off two B&W pages and have to take out a loan to buy your first
replacement yellow ink cartridge

Any concerns running an 11 speed shimano chainset with a 10 speed groupset (Tiagra 4700)?

(From what I'm reading largely fine).

Buy this for £15: https://www.wifi-stock.co.uk/details/mikrotik_rb931-2nd_hap_mini.html

Run it in ‘station’ mode.

Can anyone confirm if this is $3k pw or pm?

Any concerns

Nope

great, thanks again
