Good old linus using an "overcompensator"

If my little brother's "Heavy Gunner" were not locked up tighter than the Pentagon with passwords...

I would do this. Working on it now, she's hella beefy and I'm sure that she'd do well in assisting.

Good luck, and don't do it against your little brother's willif it's his PC

Talk with him about it first, ok? ^^'

That would be difficult to do. My little brother passed away on November 2nd of 2019. USMC Lance Corporal. But if I could, I would, believe me~

Oh, I'm sincerely sorry

This turned unexpectedly dark, my condolences to you and your family.

But as a possible solution: swap out the hard drive so you can still make use of the rest of the hardware?

Could work if bios/uefi doesn't ask password on boot.

Someone else on TeamLTT? :D

Yes. I joined then rather than staying teamless. But I'll probably won't bring much points, lol.

Every bit helps :)

My systems been contributing when im not using it, im at 190 WUs completed and just past 8 million points :)

Nice! :-3
I'm at almost 20 000 WU on WCG for about 9.5 years of cpu time.

But on FAH only 2 WU for now XD

I been doing this for a few months now. Also did it before COVID happened but I had stopped. Now I got more hardware going too!

Yay!

I do grid computing since 2008 but I must admit I started FAH only when they announced they worked on Covid (the project I'm loyal to being the World Community Grid)

Currently I'm trying to put more hardware to work too, a 11 years old PC I plan to modernize with a P106-90 graphic card (it was a bargain). So I can give a "powerhouse" GPU to this old PC so it can use it to provide a decent amount of computation. Because in it's current state it's only a waste of electricity, lol.

That's one of those mining cards without video ports, so useless for gaming. Where did you get it, Ebay? I have been looking at those...

Yes, it's the one.

Miners sell them because not powerful/profitable enough anymore, and gamers are obviously not interested in the (even if you can somewhat crack it, it requires work and another gpu to handle the connection to display) so I got one for really cheap, on eBay.

It's perfect for this kind of use, since I plan to make it "mining science", not gaming

I got it here (package still on its way though, still waiting for it) : https://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOTAC-P106.....0/264689028104


Just one warning, unlike what the title say, it's not a GTX 1060-like (that is the P106-100) but a GTX 1050 Ti-like (but still a bargain regarding the power for price)
