4k requires a fast I/O subsystem. Thankfully good + fast NVMEs exist ;). Even on the cheap you could RAID0 together 3 or 5 cheap SATAIII SSDs for some scratch space. edit: To add a beefier CPU will help in certain situations too. Depends on what your current storage hardware is like.

Oh wow I must've missed that somehow. Thanks :)

What happened to the Creative soundbar that was supposed to have the Super-XFi stuff in it?

Best set of IEMs I've ever had. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/westone-w30-triple-driver-universal-fit-noise-isolating-earphones-78503.20512/reviews If you can find these or the w40s for a decent price I'd highly recommend them.

Yeah definitely sounds like bad RAM.

Somehow missed that :/

I hate to pile onto this conversation but HDMI audio out to an AVR is actually the superior way of doing audio on PC. @OP. I get what you're trying to do I had an analog setup like that for years maybe like a decade and a half ago :P. I was even using a sound card maybe 5 years ago now. Then I...

If I remember correctly when someone did this test a while back most people chose the comedy option as sounding best which was a copper coat hanger.

Aww, but then who's gonna buy all these Monster Cables? /s ;)

Pro Tip: Always check the cables first. Like for everything.

Literally the two best options for PC audio are: 1. HDMI out to an AVR 2. A decent DAC/AMP setup for headphones or headphones/speakers.

Battlefield 1 had an amazing Atmos soundtrack as well.

Everything/Everyone else in this thread is wrong.

Some people like to play games. Graphics fidelity et al be dammned.

Legitimately, the best audio you can have on PC is pretty much HDMI out from your video card to an AVR.

So I did some reading about stablebit and DrivePool and it seems ok. If you've been using that it should be fine to continue using it. Get Windows 10 Pro for Workstation (since it can do REFS) and call it a day maybe? I've never been fond of Windows for file server type stuff though.

JBOD with that amount of disks is a bad idea though. Better option would be something like unionfs or mergerfs.

For once I have to agree with the Linux zealots here. Install Linux, use ZFS, never look back. Getting a Windows server license is going to be costly and isn't going to net you much, unless you want Storage Pools + HyperV. I've used FreeNAS, Windows Server and Linux w/ ZFS and there's no way...

Yeah I have the same problem with Atmos. My solution was to uninstall the Nvidia HD Audio driver and let the HDMI output be detected as the default HD Audio driver. No more timeouts and all that.

This is the correct answer. Mount the other drive to the folder you need.

Arch in the streets, Manjaro in the sheets :D

I haven't had any DPC latency with the latest builds of Win 10. I had that stupid bug.

I hate it. Because now I can't easily justify buying more computer hardware :p

Apple has been a walled garden for a long long time now.

Anyone arguing against Windows Defender doesn't know wtf they are talking about. Especially in the Enterprise market, but equally so in the Desktop environment. Installing 3rd party AV software these days actually increases your attack vector. Too many CVEs out there with full remote code...

Yeah those are great numbers for single fan air cooling.

I'll add to this. If you're installing any kind of graphics drivers, or ZFS or whatever. Use the DKMS package if there's one available. It makes kernel/program upgrades less of a hassle.

KDE Manjaro is what I run on my Desktop. I really like it. I am very tempted to try KDE Neon, because bleeding edge KDE on LTS stability has me kinda intrigued and I haven't started fresh on a Linux in a while.

Gotta say KDE is by FAR my favourite DE. Super customizable and really REALLY good fractional HiDPi support. It's also come a long way in the theming department. It's rare to run an app that doesn't look right these days. GhostCow, don't bother with BSD unless you have a very specific reason to...

Holy fuck the derail in this thread because someone said something bad about their favourite flavour of computing. The LZDF (Linux Zealot Defense Force) is out in full force here. Just as much as I hate people spouting off about religion, I hate people spouting off about what OS I should be...

Manjaro is by far my favourite "flavour" of Arch if you will. I have pure Arch on my server but if I ever get around to re-installing I would probably go Manjaro.

As has been stated ITT. Home/Pro versions have checks that re-enable it. The proper way for disabling it permanently has already been shown ITT as well ;)

WTF do you mean by you people? WTF are you even babbling on about with this? Please tell me you're not arguing from some asinine position of Windows vs Linux or something equally as juvenile If you properly disable updates on Windows 10 (Moreso if you're running Workstation/Enterprise) MS isn't...

Yeah, it's easy to miss that word when you're skimming through the settings fast :D

It's asking for the prefix, not the subnet mask.

Windows as a service is already a thing in the Enterprise space. I'm not sure what the fear mongering ITT is about though.

Prove that this actually happens. Also it's not very involved at all. It's like 1 extra step compared to just disabling the service.

Are we seriously using AMDFLAWS.com as gospel ITT? That site redirects to CTS-LABS with no info about any of those flaws after a cursory glance. Are there any actual CVEs for any of those flaws? My understanding is the majority of those exploits' requirements were already in LOLPWNED territory.

That joke just went right over your head didn't it?

This along with PC Gaming right?
