if you are on an AMD GPU, wine actually works better than Windows :p The FPS is about the same but the frame timings are a lot more flat/better I tried using Windows for a year+ on a rog ally .. when I later switched to Legion go, I was very clear I cannot tolerate Windows shenanigans any more...

snip the cord, splice the wires on both ends.. then join them and use the leads of DMM to measure the unloaded (only adapter on) and loaded (Shield powered on) You could also do it by opening up the shield and measuring the voltage on the rather non standard DC tip leads it uses - but the above...

Get a DMM, snipe the power connector. Measure unloaded voltage, then try powering up the unit and see if voltage does not drop by more than 5-7% If not, you likely have a hardware defect in the unit. If it does, you can just swap out the power brick with any same voltage/same or higher Amps adapter

You really aren't giving up legacy support.. C to A is a dumb pin-to-pin conversion .. so at worst, all you need is a 200/- pigtail cable So if you had to choose 1 , you would still pick the better protocol since its anyway fully backward compatible.. Anyway, I am not even advocating that A...

Almost every new peripheral these days is type C USB A is almost about on the verge of becoming a relic. Only older peripherals that I have are A only. If one had to choose between a mobo/PC/laptop with C only vs A only today, it would be stupid to opt for the latter

A lot of us here have purchased refurbished desktops, esp SFF/USFF desktops that otherwise tend to be incredibly pricey. However I would refrain from buying refurb laptops. Reason being that desktops are inherently more robust - and because they are sitting at an office desk will see minimal to...

Not unless you overcommit resources. Also needless to say, use a decent SSD and not a super low end one for a PC that is going to host multiple machines This is a 1TB 980 Pro (nvme) running 4VMs and 4 CTs in full cycle duty. This particular SSD has been in use since around mid 2022 so I dont...

Whats amiss for example in a hikvision 7608 that is usually under 5K? i have used quite a few of the over the years and they are perfectly reliable units that get the job done without fuss. Now personaly, I have added more stuff to the stack - I use scrypted running on a hypervisor that...

Bigger question is why are you being quoted 50k NVR units (8 channel) are barely 5k Cameras are cheap too unless you are opting for very high res units .

NVRs are cheap , no fuss and low power consumption appliances designed for one thing and one thing alone - and thus they excel at it... I have been using Hik NVRs for years now and they provide pretty much most things you need on their default firmware. Any ONVIF compliant camera can be added...

I have brought an xbox SS and a SX and sold both of them.. The launch week PS5 continues to get used heavily.. What's the point of having a relatively cheap subscription when the games themself are useless? MS has really messed up their game library .. every time they promise the moon, they...

This @awestorr On a mac mini, just walk away when done. On a macbook , just close the lid. The only exception to this would be if you know you are not going to use the system for several days or weeks - in which case shut it down

FS are three SSDs a 2230 1TB WD SN 740, 512GB Micron 2400 2230 and a 512GB SN740 2242 Please note these are sff SSDs and while you can use them in a PC, you probably want them for use cases like a steam deck or surface pro instead 1TB WD 740 2230 SSD: 6600/- 512 Micron 2400 2230 SSD: 3500/-...

same here .. desperately needs an upgrade though

Every single office uses a distributed wired mesh as against standalone APs with shared SSID. Its not just a couple of seconds drop as you move. The real problem is what is often termed as Sticky AP.. What ends up happening is that when you move from one room to another, most devices will...

as a first time buyer who is just starting, buy a Bambu A1 and be done with it. I have spent a lot of time on the more DIY style machines from Creality etc - and while they are quite good for what they are but they are a time sink, In 3d printing , there are a lot of variables and the impact...

I moved from standalone APs/routers to a Orbi mesh (wireless backhaul) sometime in the late 2010s. It was a huge improvement over standalone APs sharing same SSID Later i switched to a SDN setup (TPL Omada .. Ubiquiti is another option but its overpriced in India) with wired backhaul. i wont...

4k without a thought. Monitors are long term purchases 1:1 unscaled does not look good on large screens. Even if you want fhd sized text, 200% scaled (i.e looks like 1920x1080) on a 4k over 100% 1080p anyday. In fact mac os goes the extreme route and does not even show unscaled options by...
