I'd get a Chromecast Ultra, the wall charger part has an ethernet port built in. Only the thin grey cable goes to the Chromecast. Or if you have a Chromecast, buy an Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast for $15 from Google. (Same thing included with Chromecast Ultra.) http://i.imgur.com/iMlQzA6.jpg?1
I have yet to see a single multi-monitor setup used where all the monitors were lined up evenly. The non-main focus monitors are all angled to allow them to be centered and perpendicular to you when you turn your head to view them. I found with 39" 4k monitor that i had to be a lot further back...
Definitely get a SFX and not SFX-L or ATX power supply if you can, if you're inclined to smaller ITX builds. I'm extremely happy with my SFX Corsair SF450 inside Sugo SG13B. Reminder, a normal 7700/1080 ti build can fit comfortably in 450Watts. FYI, SF450 is 80 Plus Gold rated , so lazy math, it giv...
@just brew it!, I'm going to have to try that marrow on toast. How do I do prepare it myself? A lot of the more "peasant" stuff is just not doable anymore. I wont eat that stuff from a factory farm animal. When I was a kid or parents and grand parents did it, it was from a local butcher t...
Just because a thread is active, doesnt mean its doing useful work. It could be poorly written code thats keeping it awake but not doing anything significant. However, RTS games are the poster child for CPU limited work load. Its just that most of them dont actually use it (Civ, X-Com) for smart and...
Since MalwareBytes has an "About Us" page with pictures of the entire management team AND Board of Directors, I tend to think they're not hiding things. There is a thing as too open. I mean until a few months ago, they were downloading updates/virus definitions without encryption ... Sorr...
The Ryzen Pro Ryzen Pro information going around today is super delicious. Super nut punch to Intel if it pans out. If I was building a mini-ITX workstation, i'd wait a tiny bit more if I could. The stuff you'd get for free versus Intel.... Also, someone mentioned DanA4 SFX case, there is a reason V...
The PS4 does OK with 1080p-ish level content. The PS4 Pro should bring that to good level. The XX from specs should be good+ for 1080p. But than there is reality. The XO/S and XX are different designs, need total re-qualification of game to ensure no defects. The PS4 Pro can be treated as just more ...
whm1974 is talking about image quality/fidelity. The image detail/quality shown in an actual real life picture on a 1080p screen is still many miles away from what even the 1080 ti can provide (in a game/3D environment, not still picture rendering). Technically, you take any already made 1080p game,...
The math is pretty bad. Six months of mining is likely equal to 3-5 years of active gaming. 24x30 is 720 5x30 is 150, or very close to 1/5. Which likely only a miniscule number could even maintain over 6 months versus a month or two. I would not touch a used card this coming holiday season. Just a n...
Yeah, but you know, 99.9999 really means once in a while, something that "couldn't" happen, happens. I was actually thinking this was an update to their backend so they could respond to future coin mining craze type events somehow. Its coming on summer vacation and how are the kids suppose...
Sorta, was wondering if something was wrong with my DNS cache, Cloudflare, AWS... to keep seeing maybe old server instead of new ones after their maintenance finished.
Yes, been seeing that since i think yesterday morning or afternoon. Thanks. Wasnt sure if it was "internet routing" issue. /edit: forgot the air quotes.
While they fail on execution too much (NUCs are too noisy, 600p m.2 drive is just total fail as an SSD, new Intel drivers ship too buggy) they are hitting actual market needs. Just big failures on execution. Remember, everything they make has to have a ridiculous margin per Wall Street expectations ...
Just sold my GTX 1060 6GB, only lasted a few hours on Ebay. Sold it at no loss price including fees and shipping costs, didn't use auction to try to extract profit. Good time to cash out for non-serious gamer, maybe come back in during holidays, or switch to console. Just an utter suck fest for PC g...
PC#2 CPU: i3-2120 @3.30GHz RAM: 4GB The case is SFF so it's no good for more storage but the rest of the parts should be usable. Keep in mind the big constraint/reality check for home NAS currently...(w/o $$$) gigabit ethernet's 100MB/sec or even AC wifi's supposed 170MB/sec You will be much better...
Yup, the last crypto crash rewarded AMD with a stellar 18% discrete GPU marketshare, that will never happen again amirite? And people wonder why NV doesn't really bother with crypto, when the competitor is so busy torpedoing itself with unneeded supply and pricing volatility. Won't be the same. All...
Either buy a QNAP or Synology, or roll your own with FreeNAS . All very good and viable options. Just remember to also buy a UPS if you centralize valuable(to you) data. QNAP live demo Synology live demo If you have win 10 pro, enable hyper-v and you should be able to create a few VHDs and create a ...
I dunno if that's quiet right. The PS4 has much larger market share because of major miss steps on MS's part. As an over reaction, every single facet on the Xbox One X is better/bigger than PS4 Pro. More RAM, more CUs, higher CPU hertz, higher CU hertz, UHD blu-ray player,... if reports are correct....
It could definitely be useful. Not for single devices like GPUs, but getting more bandwidth out of the same number lanes on a system-wide basis could make current lane allocation shenanigans less of an issue. Even so, we will still be better off increasing the number of lanes instead. Pin count mat...
Have your researched dual card setup? No one recommends it anymore. Unless you have a specific app in mind that specifically has support for it. GTX 1070 for around $400? GTX 1080 is easily 30% better than 1070, $400 + 30% is $520. You can easily get GTX 1080 for $500. Save money wasted on new fans ...
This is Sony we are talking about. The PS3's blu-ray support was a major selling point. The fact that they didnt include it is not a mistake. I think its way too early for UHD blu-ray. - still a billion competing HDR formats out there... - only a couple of Rec 2020 TVs out there. - Rec 2100 just got...
It's still just PLA, it has copper look/feel, its not actually copper. Just cosmetic. Googled some, just in case, they specifically said, not conductive.
Sugo SG13B ITX case and Corsair SF450 SFX PSU. $40 + $90. I like it. Definitely needs SFX PSU for better air flow if using big graphics card. Put one 140mm fan in front. Had it with six 2.5" 7mm drives lined up vertically behind front fan, 2xSSD, 4xHDD but i finally switched to one m.2 960 EVO...
