You don't have to worry about current gen WiFI saturating a 1 GigE link so it's pretty moot anyways.
The easy solution of course would be a dedicated AP also hanging off the 10 Gig switch. Which could easily be just another consumer router (or something like an Unifi AP).
Well, the mining applications are simply using the GPU compute capabilities. In order to make them less attractive to cryptocurrency miners they would need to cripple the GPU compute capabilities somehow, which I imagine they're rather reluctant to do since it would impact other uses of GPU compute...
Manufacturers in general don't care why people buy things even when selling direct to consumers. If they're selling to a retailer at wholesale, then they really don't care. It'd probably be a bigger headache for AMD to try to adjust pricing or somehow discourage miners than it is just to put up wit...
You just setup a simple firewall rule that says connections must be initiated from the LAN port, only related packets are allowed back in on the WAN port. No need for DMZ or anything silly like that. There are a lot of customer applications that require the ability to open connections from WAN (thu...
Sorry for not using the exactly correct word (I should have said pass instead of route). :P I understand how MACs work, but not many consumers really care how switching/routing is done, only what the effects are locally and how it affects them. For 99.99999% of consumer home networks, there's a sub...
Tulip Mania again. It makes no-sense to buy hardware to mine at this point. All of "easy stuff" is gone now and you will end-up making a net-loss. The worst point is that you cannot "easily" convert those crypotucurrencies over to "USD" which makes it kinda pointless f...
You only have to route if you're leaving the subnet (going to the Internet) - dumb switches route between machines on the same subnet without having to hit the router. I knew there was a simple answer my aging brain just hadn't figured out. Like I said, I don't grok the OSI model, so I was having p...
Last week, Newegg on Ebay had a 1080 Ti (Gigabyte non FE edition with 3 fans) for the same price. Is a 4GB Rx 480 really more efficient for mining than a 1080 Ti? I thought GPUs had been replaced by ASICs for mining at this point. That said, I believe GCN is much better for most non-rendering relat...
I've moved most of my steam library to a NAS system. A RAID5 with spinning disks can max out gigabit, would be interesting to see how much faster it could go.
I guess so. In the end, I see many more *nix (Mac and Linux mostily) users blindly entering passwords because they trust that the system is safe. It only takes one bad entry to own the machine. That said, I'm not going to type in my password when all of the sudden my system asks me for my passwor...
Hahaha that proof is quite ironic. The scan in that video found stuff in .dll and .exe files, those are obviously windows files. Either some stuff he just had lying around or part of one of those lame ports that just uses wine and launches a windows binary through it. To clarify afaik "linux d...
In addition to the advantages listed, fiber doesn't conduct electricity (very well). So for outside runs that makes it's resistant to lightning strikes. At the ISP I work for, we used to have come buildings connected with Cat5, and every big storm meant like a 1/3 chance at the cable and switchport ...
That's some cool work, but I think dropping to powersave might be excessive. Conservative is going to keep your cores at low frequencies already. Yeah, perhaps; and it did add the complication of needing to monitor load average to accommodate CPU-intensive background jobs. However, there was one sp...
That could be a DNS problem. What's the specific error message you get from the browser? Try using the nslookup CLI tool to see if the problem is with the DNS lookup, and/or try hitting a few sites that aren't working by using their numerical IP address instead of their name. Edit: If you've never ...
My feeling with Ubuntu/Mint is that if it happens to like your config/use case (ex. Intel video card, running common stuff like Chrome, etc), you're basically set. If it doesn't, you're in for hell (ex. going to a command line desktop to use vim, install an nvidia driver via text, having to know ho...
To put a little context into these numbers, Guru3D took both a haswell-era 8-core CPU (the trusty 5960X) and the FX-8370 and downclocked both chips to 3.2 GHz to match the speeds of the purported Zen sample as closely as possible. They also tested with an Rx 480 and the same drivers/AoTS version fr...
Oh man I love the new service status output previous: service apache2 status Apache2 is running (pid 1165). new: service apache2 status ● apache2.service - LSB: Apache2 web server Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache2; bad; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d └─apach...
I've been using a WDTV live and a USB wireless link to watch netflix on Toshiba Regza for quite some time. The TV blew out its tuner and in less than a month, the replacement tuner board I installed. So, I am switching back and forth between Netflix on the WDTV live and one a Zenith DTT901 Digital ...
So there was an update at some point that made accessing side loaded apps about a million times easier (they show up in the recent area and app area now). Good on Amazon. This little box just keeps getting better.
Although I'm sure they love the money they get for not letting you DYI, I bet it's more of an insurance thing than anything else. If they start just letting anyone on a construction site and doing what they like, it could/would create huge liability concerns.
I think Dell is launching an Alienware and HP is supposed to update the X360 Spectre with OLED screens. Last I heard it was this "spring" so not sure what actual time frame that means.
At $225 per run I'm going to use small switches in each room if there are multiple devices, like the media rooms. It should not cost any extra to do multiple wires in one run (well I guess materials). That said, a few devices sharing 1gbps should be fine too, especially if they're just going to be ...
