The health claims are subjective.  The article offers no objective evidence that the noise was the cause of any ailments.

But, I agree that it would be really nice to sit on the back porch and watch the sunset in comfort.  That's not too much to ask in ones own home in the country.

Thanks for the article link.

It seems to me that the company is making good on their promise, maybe not as fast as the folks nearby would like, but still, progress is being made.

I dropped out of this thread a while back because it seems that you only want to BMW (Bitch Moan and Whine).

I posted earlier that the company says that they have shut down a large number of miners, have started building a sound barrier and are converting to immersion cooling.

I asked if that was true or not.  Nobody confirmed nor denied what the company said they were doing, just more BMW'ing.

So if the company is doing what they claim to be doing, then what more can you demand?  If not then by all means continue bitching.  But show me the objective truth that they are NOT doing what they say they are doing.

By all means, try Linux on that Winbloze box.  I had really good luck with my Pi 4 and the R606's, btw.

Windoze is usually the issue with the USB communications.  There is not a thing that M$ has touched and made better.

Silent Racing??  Hope that never happens.  They would have to install speakers and pipe in the Engine sounds

Kind of like Lucas had to do with the Pod Racers sound effects.

Original People.  The track only operated 2 or 3 season's, if I remember correctly.  The neighborhoods were the same people, more or less.

Well, it looks like power distribution is not a problem here.  A Natural Gas Power Generation facility, literally, next door as well as Hydro and Nuclear in the same area. 

But, yes, our power grid had been maxed out for decades now and is in grave need of updating.

According to their web site they have deactivated a portion of their units, are installing a a Sound Wall barrier and will convert to immersion cooling.  Are those things not true?

When I was a kid my home town built a "community support" race track at the fairgrounds.  Then the community support turned into people complaining about the the noise Stock Car's make.  Sounds like it could be a similar situation.

Also, are you overriding the pools difficulty setting?

Bingo!

I doubt your laptop will provide the needed 3.1, or so, Amps.  A powered hub would be better, but most of those don't provide that much current either.  Sidehack makes his own powered hub for this purpose.

Well, I guess after you try a new USB cable, you need to contact the dealer you bought it from.

Yes, I'm referring to using Zadig to install the WinUSB driver.  So if the device isn't being recognized then you must have bad hardware somewhere, miner, PC, cable, Power Supply, ...

Well, you have to get that done, it's not optional.

Did you install the WinUSB driver?

Still makes no sense resurrecting a decade old thread instead of posting in the proper support thread.

Here's the support thread for the Compac F's:

Post in the R909 support thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5423227.msg61350390#msg61350390

Also, you should be posting in the actual support thread for this miner instead creating unneeded threads.
