CORSAIR has an excellent track-record when it comes to all-in-one liquid coolers but it looks like some faulty units managed to slip out into the wild this year. Late last week, Corsair announced that it was issuing a product recall on a select number of Hydro Series H100i RGB Platinum SE coolers due to leakage.
Raspberry Pi’s continued success has proven that itty-bitty computers aren’t just a fad. That success has attracted a long list of competitors too, and that list grew this week with the official release of Hardkernel’s new Odroid-N2 single board computer.
Hardkernel announced the Odroid-N2 in February. The device comes in two variants: one with 2GB of RAM that costs $63 and one with 4GB that costs $79. Those versions are otherwise identical, so unless someone’s looking to minimize costs as much as possible, we suspect most people will spend the extra $16 to double the memory.
An entire terabyte of data can now fit on a microSD card — and now data can be recorded as fast as 160MB per second. On Monday, February 25, Western Digital announced the 1TB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSDXC card during Mobile World Congress. While the new microSD is not the first to reach that 1TB capacity, the company says the new card is the fastest 1 TB UHS-1 microSD card yet. Micron also launched a 1TB card, joining Lexar’s 1 TB announced earlier this year.

Taking apart the Galaxy s10 is pretty similar to years past… EXCEPT that this time around not everything is repairable. Samsung has made the charging port permanent on the S10. So if you ever need to replace that port (to charge your phone, or access your data) it wont be possible without advanced soldering techniques.

Are you running Plex Media Server on FreeNAS as a plugin, but don’t like waiting for the updates from FreeNAS?
PMS_Updater for FreeNAS is exactly what you need!
PMS_Updated allows you to update the FreeNAS Plex install from CLI with out waiting for the plugin updates from the devs, the updater will connect to your specified jail, download the most recent version of Plex and run the update if needed.
To do so, first we need to either access our FreeNAS console, or login via SSH. (for Windows users, check out Putty)
Once logged into your FreeNAS server, you want to determine what Jail number your Plex server is installed in, to do so execute the following
jls
You will get an output of Jails installed, choose your Plex Server. In this example mine is 1.
Our next line with log into that Jail to update Plex, so be sure to use the number from the jls command above.
jexec 1 cshThe first time you run this, you may need to install the following.
pkg install ca_root_nss
pkg install wget
pkg install perl5Once in the Jail, we can download the PMS_Update script
fetch -o PMS_Updater.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mstinaff/PMS_Updater/master/PMS_Updater.shOr for PlexPass use
fetch -o PMS_Updater.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luluhoc/PMS_Updater/master/PMS_UpdaterPLEXPASS.shAfter the appropriate updater is downloaded, make sure to modify the permissions for the file to execute correctly.
chmod 755 PMS_Updater.shAnd then execute the script.
./PMS_Updater.sh -vv -aYou should now be on the latest version of Plex, you may need to start your Plex Server in the FreeNAS plugins page.
For a list of known issues and bugs, please check the Issues Page from the Author of this script.
At the time of writing this article (3/23/19), there are 2 known bugs with the current release.
Forcing an update when all else fails
A few times the script above has failed me, to get around I still execute the jexec for the jail I wish to update.
jexec 1
fetch -o PMS_Updater.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luluhoc/PMS_Updater/master/PMS_UpdaterPLEXPASS.sh
chmod 755 PMS_Updater.sh And I then use WinSCP to copy the install files over to the plex jail location. The installers can be downloaded from Plex.tv and choosing FreeBSD.
And then execute the following command. (Just be sure to name the downloaded Plex server files to PlexBuild.tar.bz2)
./PMS_Updater.sh -l PlexBuild.tar.bz2 -vv -aDo you have a Raspberry Pi, yet aren’t sure exactly what make/model or hardware you have? The following will show you exact details about your device.
From a command line, or SSH session into your Raspberrry Pi, run the following command.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
