    Convert NTFS to exFAT?

    Sorry if I didn't explain it in full. If I copy all of the Windows stuff and then format it won't Windows no longer work? If so I couldn't copy my C drive back over

    SiriusXM Buys Pandora for $3.5 Billion

    My problem with Pandora is it gets stuck on a genre. It will play 10 reggae songs in a row after skipping each one, then move on the country, then old rock. I know I can make multiple stations, but I have a mix because I want a mix, not Sheryl Crow, followed by Natalie Merchant, followed by...

    Streaming services build noob questions

    As I've said before, if you're going to use Plex (and I do) transcode using Handbrake so the server has little work to do. Just queue them up in Handbrake and let them transcode at your leisure. This way you need very little in terms of a Plex server and are only limited by you ISP upload speed...

    Power Outage at Samsung Destroys 3.5% of Global NAND Flash Output For March

    Anyone in the Fab business will tell you that that really isn't feasible. Sometimes just a few cycles of power loss interrupting the process is enough to scrap wafers

    Advice before I spend (more) money for media storage/streaming

    You need to see what % your cpu is running at when Plex is running. If it's not high then changing cpu's won't help and points to the network not being able to keep up. Even the slowest drives are fast enough for Plex

    CHEAP Plex server hardware suggestions?

    You only need a good processor to transcode on the fly. I use an A6-9500E AMD and with 6 1080P streams I'm at about 20% CPU usage. What I do is use Handbrake to transcode all my stuff ahead of time (queue it up and let it run) then you don't need anything special server wise. My opinion, the...

    PLEX DVR > MCEBUDDY > Roku direct stream?

    If the Roku is on the same network you shouldn't have to transcode. Make sure your quality is set to original (it will probably say "not recommended"). Plex will only try to transcode if your device is looking for a lower bitrate, but locally it should be fine

    LG Put Windows 10 On A Fridge

    It never ceases to amaze me how much hate there is for Windows 10. If you hate it so much, how come you use it enough to bitch about it constantly? There are plenty of other OS's out there you should be using. If my shoes hurt my feet, I don't bitch about the shoes, I get different shoes.

    Roku Streaming stick - $15 off - $35 @ Amazon

    Old ones are poky if you mean a 3-5 second delay on starting a channel (except PLEX which is 20-30), once open it's smooth, however just got a new version for Mom to replace her Roku classic. Tried it out and it's instantaneous, sorry Mom you get an old one.

    AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.1

    More than just mine as it was driving me crazy till I googled it, even blew it out and did clean install then right to 14332 and wouldn't work with any Crimson driver, go back to Catalyst and it works fine. Oddly seems to mainly be R9 380's. Crossing fingers
