I will say the Shadows/Immortals stuff is not my jam. I won't play enough to stay in I suspect, but I get that there are a lot of kids with free time. Where are the game modes meant for 39 year old attorneys with families? Lol

Ok, hot take, I kind of love DI. Pocket based dungeon crawling? Check. Excellent graphics and performs well (OnePlus 8 Pro)? Check. Very Diablo story line? Check. Loot cycle and cool looking gear? Check. Free? Check. I get that if you're a min-maxxer who spends a ton of time on games like this...

Lots of wifi devices. Fire sticks, Google home devices (minis and alarm clocks), smart TVs etc. Thanks for the heads up.

I guess what I'm thinking, based on your post, is that if I point my router at the pi hole instance running in a VM on my server, all the devices in my home will check with that pi hole instance for DNS lookup? So, pi hole maintains its own whitelist and blacklist?

I am not big on networking, so I'm going to have to do my research on this. This seems like an easy solution.my only issue is that the unRAID box is in a separate room from my router.

I have an Unraid server that can host VMs.

Yea, turns out mine does too. It's just buried in the one bad part of the Google Mesh system: the phone-only UI. Did a quick test, and it looks like it reasonably works. This is what I noticed too. A Pi plus case, power, ram, etc got up to $300-400 real quick.

As a reasonably tech savvy parent, I look forward to that arms race. But for now, I'm not really worried about them searching out porn, but more along the lines of 'innocent' searches following up on conversations we have. Just want to put some barriers in the way of the most hard core stuff...

They are currently 7 and 9 and will not be having phones ANY time soon. Both good options, but at least the pi-hole option seems, in terms of cost, close to a new wifi system. Which, you know, upgrade itch.

Currently have a gen 1 Google mesh wifi, and really do love it. It provides good coverage for my 3600 sq foot house (2 floors). But my kids are getting to that age where we will begin having "the talk' and I want to get ahead of any curious google searches. Any recommendations? Or is there some...

Returning it. It's ok, but it's inability to do call audio is weird, and lack of play/pause controls a deal breaker. Grabbed these instead, which look to be smaller versions of the Edifiers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08777GG4P/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_0J38BAEJZXCBP054GJER

Yea, I know (both points). It arrived today, and I'm... Not sure. The voice quality (for Teams/WebEx etc) is outstanding. Music is, ok. But no remote.

Thanks, all for the recommendations. Lots of good ideas, but not really on point. That said, simple bookshelf systems seem to be either real expensive and not appropriate for an office building environment (i.e., too much bass) or hot garbage. This one from rhkcommander959 is pretty close, but...

Moving into a new office in 2 weeks (actually getting the office they promised me 6 months ago when I started), and I'm looking for a nice bookshelf speaker system that can: - Have an Aux input form my computer - Have bluetoooth - Have a remote control - Have reasonable sound at low volume - Be...

Had enough trouble getting it on. Lol.

I might disagree with you on the 12 gig titan. For gaming, I tend to agree, but for those who did double duty gaming and productivity, there were uses where it came in handy. Now those cases were almost as rare as the number of people who bought the card, so I'm not sure how much that means.

New build. Need to take a second pass at a few now that it's together. But pretty happy so far.

And the 6500xt appears to prove everyone's point in this thread. Not enough vram. Too slow vram. Too little bandwidth.

Also, wasn't there an Nvidia GPU series where they played games with bandwidth and vram capacity? Was it the 9600s? Bandwidth turned out to be a huge deal over capat...

Agreed. I keep coming away from these remakes (like Ghost in the Shell) thinking the attempt to make them LOOK like the anime gets in the way of the quallity of the product.

I've been trying to figure out why I am not enjoying Cowboy Beebop. And I think I figured it out. Cowboy Beebop as an anime, had a really limited pencil stroke budget. The amount of cells they could draw was tightly controlled, and had a limited time frame. THis meant a lot of sylized scenes...

This, and when you ask for a deletion, they change the username, so no real way to link it back.

They think deleting it will also delete their posts and content.

Alas, the box is pretty faded. The value to that audience is lost.

Found this while cleaning up. NIB Worth anything?

Confirmed. Mine was just submitted.

Naw, having helped hundreds of companies with data breaches, a few days of down time after an attempted targeted attack like this is SOP., or should be in terms of a good SOC Incident Response Plan. Hastily leaving things up, or re-starting them too soon is bad juju. Like closing the panels of a...

https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/withdrawals-are-gradually-re-enabled-today Things coming back, but slowly. I wonder if the snafu with CB will be alleviated as well.

Yup: https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/update-on-withdrawal-situation But this is horse hockey when you can't even do that in the US.

Again, noob here, what's with the boosted pay rate in the last hours?

Yea, but for those of us that are relatively new, sorting the legit products and services from the crap is NOT easy. Ask here, and there's baseline amount of knowledge and competency built in, and at least a modicum of scam-filtering. I don't know about you, but I don't rely on google for...

Yea, but I'm playing a little before I dive in, and this is a real PITA for NH:

So is there a CB alternative for NH transfers? Free and can exchange between coins easily? I'm running NH on my 2060 when I'm not gaming on it, and sinking $60+ into a hardware wallet, or paying fees is a massive overhead, proportionately.

Not in the US. I get an error every time I try, saying it's not available in my country.

Not going to lie, that's what got me in. I'd been thinking about mining for a while, but didn't want the hassel. NH made it real easy. But just overnight bouncing the easiest way to move my BTC around? Dick move.

https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/suspending-withdrawals-to-coinbase That sucks. This was simply the easiest way to extract BTC from NiceHash and exchange to some other currency. Not sure who to blame though. NH hasn't always been a great industry member, and they are laying ALL the blame on...

Even if you did, would it matter? lol

How long after redeeming the mech did you see it in your mech list?

And using a Jager to wreck is hilarious to me as a old school CBT player, where the Jagermech is largely a joke, and the dragon is only useful when melee is involved.

Decided to give it another try. I've been having some real fun chasing the Huntsman, and nabbed it this morning. But the real fun was finding a mech that absolutely tears into enemies better than any I've had before. JM6-DD- 2 LB 5-X and 2 LB 2-X ACs, 8.5 tons of mixed ammo, CASE, and double...
