Microcenter isn't perfect but I try to give them business when I can. Having zero local retail parts available can be a pain at times. My 990 Pro and 7800x3d in my current build were sourced at MC.
I also signed up for the free Proton. I have a vpn at home that tunnels me home. But to access content from other countries VOD services I too am thinking about expanding to the paid option.
I have DoT configured on my pfsense for all clients in my house. Web filtering DNS over TLS from cleanbrowsing specifically since I have little kids. I too really dislike DoH going direct from browsers.
FYI, I know this wasn't the direct quetion, but extenders are garbage. Never use them. Either use a single router or a mesh system if you don't want to deploy your own APs.
Anything that leads to cheaper/more economical manufacture without adversely affecting performance is the future. So I would think ghiplets are most certainly in our future.

Thank you, exact what I was looking for. I wouldn't run realtek in BSD. But knowing you have first hand experience with the 226 gives me confidence to run that on my next build.
I have a 990 so this isn't a dig at Samsung. But aren't they very similar in performance? If someone asked me I would just tell them to get whichever is cheaper.
The GFCI that feeds my deep freezer likes to trip. I'd like to set up a monitor that texts me when it happens. I see tons of them on Amazon, but does anyone have personal experience with one that they know to be reliable? If so let me know, thanks.
I have two TLSG108PE PoE managed switches local in Dallas area $30 each. that I'm willing to trade for a excellent shape b550 mATX board. I need one with four dimm slots. I have perfect heat.
Hardware unboxed just released a video comparing the 14900ks vs the 7800x3d in games. All the reviews, not just theirs, *IF* we're talking about gaming, if we want to be really conservative they trade blows. However the 7800x3d does it at half the cost, and half the power consumption. I'm not...
Been a few months now with the Framework 13 Ryzen version. I honestly couldn't be happier. Fit and finish is top notch. It does everything I need it to outside of gaming. But I have a dedicated rig for that. This is the ideal laptop for someone who wants a portable high quality PC laptop...
I have 2 x TLSG108PE PoE managed switches for sale locally in the Dallas area unless you want to pay for shipping. $30 each. I switched them out when I went 2.5/10gbps.
Oh I remember waiting for AMD's first dual core to drop from 1000 to 600 bucks and then I picked it up. But, lets be real, we're now on the fourth version of the 13900k.
I'm with Dan_D I've had Video cards back to generic Cirrus Logic VGA adapters on my first custom 386. My 286 was a prebuilt, who knows what was in that thing. I will say this I just got in my 7900XTX for my new build! :D
I've had a Samsung B&W network laser for years, if it's not a decade it's close. Very few issues. Do these brother printers have a universal driver the way HPs and Samsungs do? I don't want to install a bloated software suite on all the machines in my house.
I've had a "Pioneer" Phison based Gen3 drive for over two years now in my main rig, no issues. I've also had a Samsung 980 (non Pro) in my Framework 13 11th gen intel for two years now, also no issues. When I was pricing my 7800x3d at Microcenter, 990 Pros were $10 bucks off if bundled with a...
I too had just asked myself this question. I was leaning WD, but Phison based drives are right up there. So I think I'm going to go Inland (Microcenter) Perf Plus. It's their top of the line Gen 4 drive w/ DRAM. Within 10% of 850 and 990 Pro and cheaper.
Anytime the entire industry can benefit we all win. If this borrows from FSR I'm okay with that. Developers will always have the option to implement either. The older I get the more opensource stuff I want to embrace.
