Hi SharkFiNbowl,

I'm on Hong Kong Island in Midlevels, orignally from Australia, so a bit of a kid in a candy store with all the cool gear you can get here! :woot:

Send me a PM if you've got any more questions :happy:

Hey vault, I'm around the wan chai/midlevels area too!

thats a nice rig u got there Vault..

i want one of those keyboards though, where did u get urs from and what are they called? do they have a specific name?

let me know, thanks mate :)

Hi the_JOHN,

yeah they are sweet little keyboards. They are made by Benq, which is the "Funky" peripherals arm of Acer. Anyway, the keyboard is quite tactile - very much like the IBM Thinkpads keyboard, though a little smaller. Light as well - probably about 100-150 grams.

You can have a look at the "Mini Buddy" keyboard here at Benq's European site. I'm using a Benq mouse as well and the quality is top notch.

elfangor nice to see there are a few Hong Kong people on the board. I'll drop you a PM.

Here's mine... I need a bigger desk. I've got so much stuff on the floor and my CD's are all in my night table. It's a mess. I wish I had space for a corner desk but I gotta get mine custom made meaning I gotta build it myself and I still haven't gotten around to doing it :p

how much did it cost u Vault as i cannot seem to find anywhere in the UK that sell them

Cheap as chips actually! Bought it on a trip to Singapore and cost me S$50 which would work out to be about 25 euros if that helps your conversion. It should be about half the cost of a basic MS Internet keyboard for reference.

I had a bit of a look and I can't find anyone in the UK who has it available online.:pinch: Probably your best bet would be to ring up BenQ and ask them. The keyboard on the UK site has a great big flashing "New" next to it, so perhaps stock hasn't gone through the channel yet.

Hope that helps you out ;)

    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
