Stopped by the local apple authorized reseller while at the mall today with my step daughter to take a look at the Neo as a replacement for her 4 year old school laptop thats on its last legs.
Not an apple fan at all but the build quality seemed very nice and it appears they are using the same...
Local walmart and gamestop both still have multiples of the regular and the mario bundle, gamestop manager told me he has only sold a handful of them and most of his sales have been the regular with a copy of the newest zelda being his best seller
Was in the local Walmart and they had a display case full of both the regular and mario kart edition.
Prices are crazy, i have no intention of buying one, was just curious of availability.
$110 for mario cart world and $114 for newest zelda plus tax
V rising, new updates and content have been super solid so far. Few friends got a server up and running, really enjoying this play through.
If the weather is crap when my nephews come over we will fire up a Red alert lan party for a fee hours.
When the time comes that i am forced to upgrade to win11 It will be a dedicated gaming computer with nothing else on it completely isolated from my network.
have no interest in new phones anymore, currently on an iphone 13 but bought a 15plus to have as a brand new spare if anything happens to the 13 since i refuse to have AI in any of my devices.
Might start researching graphene Os or another alternative for later down the road
Do it, had mine professionally calibrated and as i have said before nothing else 1080P compares to it, whole family prefers to watch movies on it over my newer set
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.
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...
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
