Following I want to get into printing but i am trying to decide if it should be a buy once cry once sort of purchase

This right here, my area is lucky to get anything in 2 days at the best of times. The shipping company amazon uses here is beyond brutal. I feel like the $140 a year she pays for prime could be better spent other places, i prefer to shop locally but its getting hard.

Same i 100% refuse to watch commercials. I dont consume the same amount of material i once did just due to lack of interest in political BS being crammed down my throat but when i do i dont need the 19min of commercials per 60min of broadcast

We have completely cord cut at the house including all streaming services except prime just because of the shipping. Prime video will gone now as well, just need to convince the wife she doesnt need a prime account anymore

i have multiple people who have told me if I ever want to sell my kuro they want it, for 1080P content it cant be beat. For movie night if we dont have a 4k disk the family prefers watching on it even tho its slightly smaller.

Still use and love my pioneer kuro 60, if only they would make a new plasma in 4k i would by in a heart beat

I just helped a good friend wire his house and tried to talk him into doing conduit runs but he didnt want the extra cost associated with it since he isnt planning on keeping the house more then 3-5 years so we did all cat6e runs except we did 1 fiber run from his office/ gaming room back to the...

Been on amazon looking for deals all week, I'm narrowing down to cmr drives for sure. If i decide to do a smaller z1 pool just to move files quickly back and forth over the network is it possible to mirror that onto the larger more secure raid z2 pool as a little safety net? Or just say screw it...

Fantastic info saving that for later. Now to find a good deal on some hard drives. Just picked up 3 2tb ssds for $71cdn each im going to tinker with a z1 pool of fast drives once i get up and running, worst case they go into the gaming pc.

Since we have ditched all streaming services the majority of the time it will be 2 4k streams at a time, usually full audio h.265, but occasionally there will be a 3rd 1080p as well. I am trying to plan fast storage for the future if i decide to try and store my steam Library on it as well

Looks like i am returning/reselling the msi. I have been skimming the Truenas forums a bit so much information to consume, im thinking about having 2 pools 1 being z3 for my super important data as another layer of protection. I am undecided on what to use for my plex media, since i just need...

I went with the msi because it had really good reviews, onboard 2.5 and was a door crasher blackfriday sale, with cdn exchange rate in the toilet i grabbed it, i honestly forgot about ECC ram if it becomes an issue ill sell it and go with something else

I picked up a ryzen 5 5600 Msi b550 tomahawk 2tb WD blue m.2 Corsair cx650m Going to do more research on ram, i have 16tb to get it up and running, no crazy deals on HD’s yet going to keep looking

Picked up a few items on decent black friday sales, Cdn prices are in the crapper. As far as software i am completely in over my head, current server is running windows server with a basic raid card, i am one step above a linux noob so most of it is foreign to me. Since plex is the number 1...

I believe they were scared to lose their workforce but the job market has shifted here and they realized that most of these workers wouldnt leave like they would have 8 months ago

On a positive note the company i work for forced all its entry level employees and most of its tech support back to the centers, there was a lot of push back and some quit but it was the fat that needed to be trimmed. Its only been 15 days and we the techs already see a night and day...

I bought mine from a local supplier, online seems to be hit or miss on quality. When i renovated my house i did conduit runs to everyroom and the attic so i can upgrade if needed

Leaning towards freenas as of right now but still looking for other options. What else should i be looking at besides zfs and raidZ. Specs so far im thinking Asus prime x570 64gb ram Ryzen 5 5600(can pickup local for $100) if its not sufficient i will upgrade 8 12tb seagate ironwolfs Wd...

Researching that one now. Does video card matter that much with transcoding in plex, i have my 5600xt thats going to be replaced and was thinking of putting it into the server if it was a big improvement. Who has the best drive warrenty these days? I have heard nightmares about WD the last few...

I will look into zfs for sure thank you. Any recommendations for a am4 motherboard? Something with good ECC support and room to eventually put a 10gb nic into

Good info, i have done zero research into steam shares yet i just know id like to have the option to have as much stored as possible. Any good articles/guides on using ssds as a cache, i have zero knowledge in that and would love to research it

My current file server has been rock solid for the last 10 years but its really showing its age when trying to stream 4k rips , plus most of the drives are over 7 years old so I am starting to feel the pressing need to build now and migrate while still functional. Current server is 6 6TB WD...

Perfect, ill continue to take free games and will never spend one cent there

Skilled workers i can see the WFH not being a problem, if you as an employer can trust that person to maintain the same level of effectiveness without being watched 100% let them WFH. My issue is with entry level call center type jobs that need to be babysat, force them back to the office, I am...

I personally hope apple keeps imessage to themselves and i want nothing to do with rcs spam on my device. Google has to much control over peoples data as is, last thing i want is for them to have more access to my devices. Not interested in being spammed through my text messages.

The Div 1 is one of my favourite games, #2 fell flat for me i didnt like the setting as much. If they continued the story from 1 i would be happy. A survival mode would be the icing on the cake

up until 6 months ago I was in the telecom field, when march 2020 hit all of our call centers/ support went wfh, at first there was no noticeable difference for us in the field but by 2 months in it was very noticeable the difference in quality of support. Average wait times went from 5-10 min...

Most of the hotels I stay at have a ethernet jack in the room, i usually keep a cord in my bag. On topic i have never gotten great results with any of the external antennas i have tested, never used anything super high end tho

Bought a 4850 was a crazy good card, ended up getting a bonus at work and bought a 4870 that used until my r9-290

Actually might pickup a couple of games that the guys i game with have been playing recently. Back for blood is finally at a price point I am interested in

Registered, how have i not heard of this game until now

Love the idea but knowing manufacture's they will figure out a way to make it only allow official batteries and charge insane amounts for them. $800 phone, replacement battery $400

Don’t care how much the PPV is i will watch it, Zuck needs a tuneup

I know with comcast’s new X1 package being IPtv based i wonder if thats inflating data usage numbers

I second this

Also curious what atak is?

They dont affect me anymore, household of 3 with 2 tvs streaming constantly and iv not come close to the soft cap of 1.5tb that my Isp has. I dont consume as much media as I used to since theres nothing new worth watching so i am sure that has lowered my monthly considerably. That is with...

My last windows pc does nothing but run games just because i dont have time to mess with making stuff work under wine but I am pretty sure once windows 10 is EOL i will put more time into making it work.

For the last few months i have been digging into my backlog of games and all the free stuff I have accumulated on Epic. Nothing new has peaked my interest and my graphics card isnt the greatest with modern titles

I havent bought yet as my current address is serviced by cable but we own very rural property that will require starlink down the road. This block is completely full and all summer the hundreds of RV’s that come through with roaming dishs just drags it to a crawl according to friends who have...
