  1. my HTPC (i3 8109u) does everything I use it for just fine ... so I dunno why, but Asrock X300W + Ryzen 5 4650G:
  2. monitor arm! since the stand on my PG329Q is approximately one square mile won't be here until tomorrow though
  3. the only configuration it requires is setting a manual IP and gateway in TCP/IP settings for the 10 GbE NICs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  4. the MiktroTik CRS305 is pretty unbeatable @ ~$120 USD but it's SFP+, if you're looking for RJ45 then about the only thing even relatively cheap is the Nighthawk SX10 but it's only got 2 ports and costs twice as much. I thought about both but never gave them a go, though. if you have spare hardware laying around, why not throw in an Intel X540 or a Broadcom 57810S and make a switch? I'm doing that with my NAS, it doubles as my 10 GbE switch. If you need/want more 10 GbE ports later, throw in a 2nd/3rd/20th card later. The X540s can be had (used) under $100 and the 57810S are under $40 (used), both come in either SFP+ or a RJ45 flavor. I got 4 57810S for under $100 shipped and an X540 for $70 not that long ago but the 57810S don't play nice outside Windows Server or Linux. you can either go the pfSense route and be the incarnation of r/homelab or be lazy (like me) and stick with Windows. I have it set up so that the only time the 10 GbE portion of network is being used is when I'm accessing my NAS, otherwise it uses the onboard NIC and goes through my router. That way when/if my NAS goes offline the rest of my network doesn't lose internet. Just put the NIC on a different subnet and IP range and set the gateway of each NIC on a machine to the IP of the NIC it's attached to on the other end.
  5. first game that makes me feel like I need to upgrade my 1080 Ti "Following the River" (from the cop) and the "Dream On" missions (from the politician couple) are better than any of the story missions, fwiw
  6. have you already looked into the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC? I just found out about it today, half the price of the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro ($230) but 2GB RAM less RAM. it looks skeptically good for the price. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10415&idPhone3=10437&idPhone2=10385
  7. Maybe look at Pixels if the camera is a huge selling point? the only Pixel that costs relatively similar is the Pixel 4a and it's a downgrade pretty much everywhere but the camera compared to the Nord ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  8. care to elaborate on what it's for or are we not cool enough to know?
  9. don't tell me what to do Google-Fu agrees with you though. Hoping it's not another Radeon VII situation (make 10 cards, sell out instantly, never restock) though. Hardware Unboxed's video made me skeptical.
  10. first thing you should do on any install is disable AeroShake doesn't have to be done through PowerShell but it can
  11. banned for assuming maybe they sent the right notification but just to the wrong person
  12. hopefully they stop the staggered console/PC launch trend, hard to get excited for a game when you see other people play/talk about it for 6-18 months before you can even touch it.
  13. I'll let you know Thursday the question I'm curious about is where are my speakers gonna go
  14. I'm a liar, I'm a nuisance, I'm a fighter acting mulish I'm a license owning pile who went to driver's ed with Toonces banned from Pook Standard Time
  15. ASUS ROG Swift PG329Q 32", 175hz, IPS, no curve
