    FS: Monolith HTP-1 w/ Dirac multi-sub license

    I have the upgrade itch. I'm selling my HTP-1 theater processor. These are $4000 when you can even find them in stock, and the DLBC multi-subwoofer license is $500 on top of that. I'm looking for $3400 for the device and license. I have the factory box, and it's in like new condition. No...

    WTB school laptop around 600

    Yeah he's a good guy. The T480 is a nice machine but his doesn't have the bigger battery I would need :)

    17 is too big for him to lug around. Best of luck with your sale though!

    WTB school laptop around 600

    I'm looking for a productivity laptop for a high schooler, it needs to have 7 hours of battery life. Let me know what you've got. Some flexibility on price but not much higher because I can pickup an adequate Acer swift 3 for 650ish new.

    Pulled the trigger on a new NAS

    Nah. My network is all omada and they're adding some new 10G gear this year so I'll add a switch. Plus my WAPs will need ports anyhow.

    Pulled the trigger on a new NAS

    For the last few weeks I've been playing games trying to upgrade the drives in my aging QNAP ts-451+ from 8TB reds to 16TB gold's (they're popular this year :) After about a month of copying, factory resetting, swapping, rebuilding, sectors scanning, x 4 and then secure wiping the reds I...

    Western Digital 16TB WD Gold Enterprise Class Internal Hard Drive - WD161KRYZ ($299.99) (Honey 12% cashback + PayPal 12% cashback available!)

    16TB deal from WD direct looks dead. I was just logging in to buy another :( Oh well maybe it will come back!

    What is so special about Macbooks?

    It took like 7 years for other mp3 players to have UI as intuitive as the first generation ipod. What you get with apple is a walled garden and a curated user experience. I am going to switch my dad to a Mac because all he needs is a browser and excel, but those two things are the most common...

    12tb Easystore External USB - $198.99 & 16TB - $299.99

    So now I've bought three of these 16tb gold units direct from WD. So far so good, been replacing all my 8TB drives. After this last one I'll be all gold!

    WTB: Children's Leukemia Charity: Best gaming computer or components we can get for $1,000 total

    I'm very serious about the UPS. Power supplies tend to be weak links and they can take out other components when they go. If you have Costco where you live they sell good consumer UPS's for around $200

    Are there Any Good Laptops These Days?

    Bad timing on that xps, they announced the new series today and it's a significant improvement. I had an xps13 and I loved it but it would thermal throttle often. I'm considering buying the xps17

    Qnap NAS died...better alternatives.

    The 21 series is newer. I've been looking at DS1621+ vs DS1821+

    Putting question here instead of responding to your pm in case the answer is valuable to others. You mentioned in PM that he's a diablo fan. Are the parents ok with swag that's "scary mature?" Like diablo swag has a certain gore/religious/horror theme to it.

    Nah I don't expect that. I do expect more leadership changes

    Shit is happening at Activision/blizzard. Expect more by end of year.

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    Yeah that WSJ article is scathing. It's the first "real" journalism piece on the current facts that I've seen. Specifically it broke the info about Jen's resignation and Fran's email which is pretty bad. The board isn't going to just bobby with this but I suspect there will be a major change soon

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    They will be released, but there was never an intent to ship them in 2021, probably not even 2022. JAB even said so at BlizzCon 2019.

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    Blizzard has been plenty capable of digging their own pits. I never saw major central interference until maybe 2018

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    What's not clearly mentioned in that statement is that this comes with the departure of previous CPO Claudine Naughton. Imo she was one of the first people that should have had the hammer drop on them but, in typical c-level fashion, ended up being one of the last. She never seemed to really...

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    I spent years around it at blizzard. Lots of hearsay I heard makes sense in context of these accusations. I saw plenty of game leaders get away with being assholes because of their status. So that's not exactly what's being accused, but because of my experience I have no difficulty believing...

    Blizzard/Activation being hit by the Perfect Storm. Will they survive?

    I'm confident workplace abuse happened. Now... Whether these specific people did anything I don't personally know. But commenting on women's bodies? Making work-inappropriate jokes? Sure. There's disagreements about the degree to which this happened or to which it's a problem but not really...

    Yes absolutely. They either got paid out or will file.

    Everybody in the photo, afaict, is either termed or currently on administrative leave. This includes some people on unannounced projects. They were *not* named in the initial lawsuit. Perhaps an amended complaint has been filed but I didn't see one. I suspect we'll see some follow up suits...
