I was going to post the same.

I always upgrade the head strap. I see this time they are offering the elite strap from the pre-order page. I wonder if I should wait to upgrade the strap or see what else is made. I know I will upgrade it eventually. I do not believe I need the battery.

how’d it go?

True. I was hoping things had improved by now.

Dit Understood. I’ll buy digital going forward.

I’m new to console gaming. I bought a PS5 and I bought a game on disc. Now I need the disc every time. Is there a legal way around that requirement? In the future it seems I should only buy digital download games to avoid using the disc. Is that correct? I have fiber, so there doesn’t...

Whatever is in stock with the specs I want. I’ll hold out for specs but not for the color. If it’s black, great. If it’s green, great. I’ll still be wearing crocs and socks.

I forgot I still had these in the garage. Price dropped from $300 a piece to $100 a piece NOT including shipping.

The more I read about this game, I think the more I wait the better the outcome.

I’m sure Mods will be nice, I’ve never used any mods in Fallout (any of them) and Skyrim. Although, I have been tempted . . . . DLC will be good. What does FO4 mean?

Just looking at the specs on the official site. Would the series S not be able to play the game at 4k? Is the series S limited to 1440p? Thats just a step up from the Steam Deck. I incorrectly assumed they would both be 4k capable.

Right now I have a PS5 with the VR and whatever Sony GamePass. I also have a PS4 for remote play (same wifi network). I have an Apple Studio (the one with the M1 chipset). With the release of Starfield, I really do not have anything to play it on. Money isnt tight, but I do not want to waste...

Starfield seems like a game I’d like to play. Watched some videos and looks right up my liking. I do not have anything I can play it on. Is the least inexpensive and easiest way to get an Xbox disk less and do a digital copy? I don’t need game pass or anything like that (nor do I want...

This is how they came from Amazon. Pitiful.

I got the drives today and I put them all in the NAS. I am running and extended SMART test. Is that all I should do? Or is there another setting on the NAS to look at?

I have plenty of time. I do NOT even know how to run a DST on OSX. Anyways. With prime days the DS923+ was on sale. While not unit I wanted, it was literally less than 1/2 the price of the DS1821+ I wanted. It was $480 vs $1000. Yes, there are compromising differences. I also...

That’s exactly what I’ll be doing. Syn 1821+ with 16 Tb drives. Currently I have a Syn with 20Tb. 15Tb useable and I’ve used 13Tb of it. I’ve had it for almost 10 years. As you can see, I’m not a power data user. After doing a bunch of research I had decided on a 1621+ because of the...

I’m replacing my existing NAS so I can keep the old NAS as another back up. I can put the stuff I really can’t afford to lose on it (have it on both of the servers). I guess I don’t need to stress test the drives, based on the opinions here. Thank you. Looking at different raid set ups...

I have been looking at OSX alternatives, and DriveDX seems to be good. Any other recommendations? I have used terminal commands before, but it’s not something I am comfortable with. Its a copy and paste thing for me.

I've decided on replacing my NAS, and I am finally getting around to it. For my needs a Synology 1522+ will do just fine. I haven't decided on the drives yet, but that isn't (necessarily) my question. Once I decide on the drives, is there a way I can briefly stress test them to weed out any...

I do not know any specs. I do have someone selling another one though.

WTB a Go Pro package / system. I want the camera (duh) with whatever mounting accessories you have. I absolutely need the Go Pro to be waterproof (not just water resistant). We will be swimming with it. I strongly prefer to pay via Zelle. I can use PayPal but that is a distant option.

This thread started me down the rabbit hole of looking at a Voron. With good directions, I could see myself building one. The build time of 30-40 hours is a bit much, but with some dedication, I could do it. Then I got to the flashing and programming. I’m out.

I’ve optimized the connection and done some reading. The highest video quality for remote play is 1080p and from my reading that resolution is ONLY available to a PS4 Pro. In my Mac Studio set up, that means I am limited to 720p. GameStop had a promo running for a PS4 Pro $50 off, so I got a...

Wow. A co-worker recommended I try it. Just wow. I'd like to play some games in another room. What system will optimize the experience? Currently I have it on my Mac Studio, I like it. However, I want it to be BETTER! the PS5 is in the kid's (age 8 and 10) playroom and I do NOT want to...

Yup, still available.

Thanks.

anything out there that’s under 32 inches, 5k, OLED? I’m not gaming on it.

I fixed the issue with a Creative BT USB C dongle. Remember, the latency I’m talking about was 2-4 SECONDS not understandable BT latency due to the technology. This is a software issue inherent to OSX.

I dont think it can be absolutely avoided, as you said. However having a 4 second delay is extreme. I have a full Sonus set up with a current gen Apple TV as a source and the delay isn’t noticeable to me. I am sure if tested, you would find a delay, but its not noticeable to me. This 4...

I dont disagree. I just dont want the wires. I used to have headphones and headphone amps and dacs breaking the 5 figure mark. Now give me the freedom of wireless and be done with it.

Same room, line of sight, maybe 7 feet. If I need to a USB C Bluetooth transmitter to get out of the metal box, I will do it. I have not tried the plist delete, it seemed like that was an old solution that was not valid on the latest update. I can try it. Yes, a lot of issues around with...

I have significant Bluetooth delay from a Mac Studio and external speakers. Its like 3-4 seconds! It’s not a big deal when I am listening to music in the back ground, but with anything with video, the audio video lag is awful. At that point I put on my WIRED head phones and watch. I’ve tried...

I mostly leave the door open. You are correct, it gets warmer but it’s always less than 80. However, when the home heat is on I close the vent in the closet and open the vent when the AC is running.

When I had my house built, I put in a media closet with a magnetic door. All of the houses media electronics are in there. The server, ONT, Ubiquiti DM and POE switch. AppleTV, spare parts, etc. Noise is less of a concern for me.

Will do. I was just wondering if there was negative manufacturing differences in going bigger.

You see the level of knowledge y’all are dealing with. Thanks.

That's what I need. So stay above 10Tb for the newer tech, esp helium filled. Im looking on Water Panther, anywhere else? arestavo , those dell drives, specifically this one. Is that a normal drive in a mount or a completely different drive meant only for Dells? Can I remove it from the mount?

Im not disputing the cost or cost savings. My question is there a size of the drive that inherently makes it more reliable. Example (I am making stuff up). "Liver, you should really stick to the 12Tb drives because they had material issues with the 14Tb and 16Tb. Until they get that resolved...

I made a thread earlier about backing up my old NAS. I am considering just replacing it now, since I'll be upgrading a very obsolete product. I have the NAS picked out (but I'm open to recommendations). I'd like to stick with Synology, so I picked the DS1621+. It has the features I want, at...
