This is why the default add to my network is no wan access.

Why would anyone still on a tech forum in the year of 2026 use an ISP security service for any purpose? I think you'll find very few answers.

US. Dac to 3.5 to powered speakers would be easy and fool proof. Better upgrade or change path later than if the USB and DAC are in the speakers.

The entire game is more or less accidentally a tutorial. It teaches the mechanics as you go and encounter things. But the tips and log entries get lost in the length of gameplay. Some times by the time you get to the chapter or encounter that teaches something its a mechanic you actually had...

Ditch the raid, use software parity protection, get host/sas controller, buy used sas disks and save a grand on that 100tb build.

Simplify and do a DAS box instead if only one comouter accessing? Just a thought. Otherwise just 10gb with cheapest DACs. That way could expand later with a switch to other computers.

Thats what i meant with gimping. Or more correctly this exactly 360hz that can never be realized because its gimped. https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/msi-unveil-the-worlds-first-32-4k-360hz-qd-oled-monitor-with-triple-mode-support Such BS

Probably still get paired with DP 1.4 somehow, or DP2.1 UBR 20, sigh. Been shopping and so tired of panel specs leading marketing only to find gimping in the high end space.

Depends if you want days vs hours really. Check the business plans, often have a symmetrical option.

Easier to get a used 10g switch for that many ports if you dont mind some fan noise. Not crazy expensive, relatively, is also difficult with that speed and port count. If new id say two 8 port trendnet or tplinks. That should be around $200-$250 for both.

Fought my first boss, the driller guy. OMG I haven't had a boss fight that hard, that relied on such specific mechanics in forever. Took me a solid hour and half last night to figure it out and beat him. I was so damn frustrated. It was like 90s gaming all over again, awesome! 😀

Zarathustra[H] now that you explained your powered speaker issues, audition the Focal 65s if you can, they are AB powered.

OK, now that you got that out of your system offer some alternatives. Because no one is advocating for vaporware or sky falling cost benefits like $12k amps. We are talking about entry to low-mid level speakers in the $2k msrp area. This is not high end as in actually high end. This is high end...

Here's the thing though. When you are in the multiple thousands for a full stack, I dont care, neither should anyone, what the measurements are, etc. Amp neutral, warm, forward, or bad, whatever. It matters what it sounds like. And all of the high end gear can be auditioned. So do that because...

Well I learned you can Thelma and Louise off a cliff on horseback. That was fun. Lol
