Is the data important?
Nah, just my dad's Windows and WoW install
Have you considered burning it out clean and laying a new connection line?
I have not, wouldn't know how to.
Clean out the wrecked part with a knife or maybe a pointy solder iron depending on how much of a savage you are
Lay a new line with some silver cord or demanteled cable
And fry your pc in progress
Just scrap that drive
Is it that risky? What about if I put it in a toaster?
that the power side. just hard wire it
What's all the hype with YeeLights?
home automation
with stuff like IFTTT and such
also their price:performance ration is decent
and as far as i know they dont need to call home like shitty stuff competitors have (aka LAN-control)
(somebody correct me on that one if im wrong)
eh
you need to jump through a few hoops to get lan control
You gotta be real stupid to fry your Pc with a data port tbh.
@timsandtoms search for sata backplane
Even with LAN control they phone home
yeah that's why i said some hoops to jump through
by what i mean the thing works even if you have the app firewalled
but yeah i dont own those so i cant say for sure
Yes that works.
But for some reason, if you have it turn on with a schedule (made with the yeelight app), it may fail to turn on if firewalled
So yeah you lose some functionality
Though if you have LAN control, you can just do all that with a cron
Just saying to get ready for it
Thanks lads. I had a GE set of bulbs that would only work by phoning home. Servers went down many times and i wouldn't be able to turn the lights on. Many such cases.
That sounds fucking awful
My yeelights are coming on Friday, will report on if they suck
you might be able to find cheaper
unless you have a hot air station I doubt you will be able to remove the old one
Wow, I'm surprised you were able to find that
Chinkshit truly is magical
those aren't the same
his appears to have the 4 extra pins
and are also different plastic shape
