If you are ever in need to rollback the firmware on your LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini. Here is how to do it…

There are two ways to reset this unit to its default settings:

Web browser method

-Go to the Configuration page in the Web Admin
-Click on the blue button next to Updates
-On the next page, click on the blue button next to Updates Log.
-Click on the "Remove all the updates" link on the bottom-right of the page.

The product should now be reset to its factory default settings.

Hardware method

-When pushing the power button to switch the drive ON, keep holding the power button until the blue LED of the power button starts to flicker and then release the button.
-Then, after 1 or 2 seconds the button's LED should flicker with another rhythm.
-Push the button again. After a few seconds, the LED will flicker again but with a third different rhythm. Release the button.
-If the drive turns off then the power button was held in two long during the last step, please try again if the drive powers off.

The product should now be reset to its factory default settings.

Thanks to Jeff from LaCie's tech support for the info.

I had to rollback because of compatibility problems with the UPnP-AV media server and the latest firmware for my D-Link DSM-520 MediaLounge.

Wal-Mart: Paper or Plastic? Neither.

We stopped at Wal-Mart earlier today to buy some ding dongs, HoHos, etc… It also gave me a chance to have a look at their new Recycled/Recyclable Shopping Bags.

Wal-Mart is not known for its quality, but these are really good. We picked up 4 of them, at $1 a pop. They are very light, yet very sturdy. They don't look very big, but actually hold a lot.

We did our weekly grocery shopping at Safeway later on. We were able to fit $126 worth of groceries in 3 bags, and picked up a cool 3¢ discount per bags too.

According to the label each bag is:

  • 100% recyclable
  • Made from 85% recycled materials
  • Made from approximately 4 plastic soda bottles
  • Can replace 50 plastic shopping bags
  • Can carry the same weight as 2-3 plastic shopping bags
  • Made in China

Tell Toyota to Support Higher Fuel Standards

Toyota advertises itself as the greenest, most fuel-efficient car company in the industry. But now the maker of the best-selling Prius hybrid is opposing tougher U.S. fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks. It's time to tell Toyota to back up its planet-friendly image by supporting a standard of 35 miles per gallon by 2020.

Maybe it's also time to tell them to import those 50+ mpg diesel engines they've been selling in Europe for years too.
