1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

So we've had some brownouts this last Saturday afternoon, and then a total blackout that lasted (in my case) for nearly 48 hours. Plenty of reports of confirmed tornadoes. I count myself lucky and have been spared the worst - I don't have to go very far to see some rather impressive damage.
But to jump straight to the point - despite being set up with a UPS, one of my Intel NUCs no longer powers on. The LED built into the power button blinks once every (maybe) 2.5 seconds, but it otherwise does not power on at all. I've tried long presses, short presses, disconnecting for 30 seconds, disconnecting for many hours in fact...but the same thing occurs; the power button blinks once every 2-3 seconds but nothing happens. Like it was stuck in sleep mode and doesn't want to come out of it.
The hard drive still works fine, and is now in fact running in another system. But I'm left wondering if that system is truly fried. If it was, I wouldn't expect the LED on it to blink in this way.
Thoughts? Options?

probably the mother board. I have one that I know is this way for sure.

My sympathies. I agree with rnbergen about the probable cause.
Even if the drive is still working, I would treat it with suspicion and replace it at the earliest opportunity. A surge that burnt out components on the motherboard probably stressed the disk drive as well.

I would check your UPS as well. It might have been damaged and passed it on to one of its outlets and your computer. I would expect it to have good surge protection, but it is not unlimited.

If you have another NUC, just for the heck of it I might try using the other power supply once to see if it makes any difference. If the MB died, it may be mearly coincidental. I hesitate to believe a spike would cross both the protected UPS and a wall wart to kill the board, unless it was a direct strike between the nearby transformer pole and your house. You could also attempt reflashing the bios from a USB thumb drive to see if it might post afterwards. As last resort, swap memory sticks to see if it posts. Good luck ~John

Is Monkey Pox the new COVID?
Is it possible to discuss this without going into the obvious geo-political ramifications.
Does anyone have a problem with the coincidence of all of this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly.
So, it doesn't strike you odd that COVID-19, which is based off of an old virus, and Monkey Pox which is an old virus, are now global, free, and wild? Like, why now, after all these years?
|
|
|
|

As humans continue to expand into areas where they didn't traditionally live (and bring their animals), there are more chances for animal viruses to make the jump into humans.
Add air travel, and you get "global, free, and wild".

Right, Mulder. That must be it.
That they started after the cases proves it's all driven by big pharma. Of course they're going to announce they're looking into vaccines. They'll have to do something to help their stock performance:

It's not odd. It has happened like that with plenty sickness for eons.
Do you know, for example, that the Tasmanian devils all over Tasmania are now suffering from a virus inflicted and contagious cancer? (it almost wiped out all Tasmanian Devil in 2009) Do you find it odd it's happening right now and not before?
However, it's not to say that, mm.. something malignant happened (or did not happened), just to say that mere coincidence here proves nothing, suggest nothing, is irrelevant.
