    WTB: Android phone on Xfinity network

    Thank you for the heads up on this. I am meeting up with someone to take a look at an unlocked Galaxy 22+ for $360 and 21+ for $300. They both seem very lightly used and well taken care of. I'm leaning towards the 22+. Any input on this compared to the pixel?

    WTB: Android phone on Xfinity network

    Hey folks. I'm more of an iphone guy, but my girlfriend prefers Android. She's on the Xfinity network, but I'm not sure how that works with Android devices. Anyway, she recently cracked the screen on her Galaxy A71 5G and I want to find a replacement. She doesn't have any special use cases...

    mapping physical USB ports to USB controllers and logical ports

    Seems like the main benefit is for Hackintoshes where hardware configurations are supposed to be more cookie-cutter, but I could be completely wrong. https://aplus.rs/2020/usb-mapping-why/

    IROK FE75 Pro RGB Portable TKL 70% Gaming Keyboard $22

    Thank you. Going to be traveling for a while and I think I will miss a numpad but this seems much more sensible to pack. Plus a backlight would be nice. Are the keys noisy?

    IROK FE75 Pro RGB Portable TKL 70% Gaming Keyboard $22

    Darn. Too late. This thing looks like exactly what I need for work, but I can't bring myself to pay twice what it was going for earlier this week. Thanks for sharing though! Do you folks that got one think it is worth the $20? $40?

    Super Mario RPG (2023)

    I am so incredibly pumped for this. Still one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. Can't wait to hear it with higher bitrate. I hope they don't change it too much.

    PC games are starting to require SSDs

    Yea definitely already taking advantage of that. I was thinking more for reduced noise and power and increased longevity.

    PC games are starting to require SSDs

    HDD to SSD is such a game changer. I recently 'fixed' my buddy's mom's 6 year old laptop that was taking forever to do anything. Just web browsing and such. One $25 SSD and windows install later and she swears it is a totally new machine. At the recent price point I am considering...

    WTB: WQXGA 2560x1600 16-17" Screen Laptop

    Bump for you. Just picked this up open-box from Microcenter for $197. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09TS43YMT Absolutely phenomenal. Runs off USB-C with no other cables required. Image is beautiful and the extra screen real-estate is awesome for remote work. Best of luck on your hunt!

    Russian CPUs Reported to be in High Demand

    Fair enough. Apologies for directing quick judgement your way. Unfortunately, I am used to a Qanon folk in my family sharing less coherent arguments about why Putin is on a mission from God.

    In Search of: 4G modem for 3 month euro trip

    Hey folks, I am working abroad for 3 months and I want to have a backup plan for poor internet areas like Sicily. Seems like the best option is a 4G modem and a prepaid SIM card. Any suggestions for one with EU network capability? Speed not a huge issue, but ~20mbps down and 10mbps up would be...

    TP-Link AX6600 (Archer GX90) router is halving my upload. Seems like a hidden QoS

    Sorry for the late response. Apparently everyone in my whole family wanted to utilize the server all night. Swapped cables and no difference at all. Tried each configuration and went down the road to microcenter and got a CAT8 (i know) with no change. Cable lengths vary from 6 feet to 10 feet...

    TP-Link AX6600 (Archer GX90) router is halving my upload. Seems like a hidden QoS

    I don't believe this is a Plex issue. My main PC does not have Plex installed and still gets the same 23ish mbps upload on speed tests. If I remove the router and connect directly to modem I get regular 42ish mbps upload. No other factors changed. Some google fu showed someone with a similar...

    TP-Link AX6600 (Archer GX90) router is halving my upload. Seems like a hidden QoS

    I appreciate the response. Yea relevant ports forwarded, but the speed tests are returning the same values regardless of which PC I test on which is what makes me think there is some option I am overlooking. I am outside my Amazon return window, but I am considering just buying a new router...

    Portal with RTX

    Looks awesome. I'll play it if my 3080ti can handle it. My only concern is one of the things that makes source titles so enjoyable is the fluidity of playing with fps in the hundreds.
