Anyone else got this installed without their consent, I've read a little about it and it's related to MSI or Realtek and I'm not sure if I loose anything by removing it, but having it installed without my consent is a little concerning.

got msi mobo and realtek drivers and I don't have that

oh I do have the service, just not any app for it

Oh yea, and I suggest unplugging all of the fans because if you use the compressed air it could send the current the wrong way

That's quite an interesting concept

I can see how that could be useful, however I'm sure there's a way to achieve that with software.

#

My old PC that i now use as a homeserver doesn't boot without a display plugged in. I think that's exactly the kind of thing this is used for

hidden shell

Or some people that only use VR with no display screen at all

distant sparrow
#

I'm surprised to hear that a pc doesn't like running headless, sometimes it's just a bios setting.

dusty timber
#

It might not work headless if you don't have any graphics, even integrated

#

Pretty much all modern PC can work headless

marble forge
#

idk if there's a BIOS setting for that. It's a i5-4440 with no dedicated GPU so not that modern 😂

dusty timber
#

You have no luck without any graphical solution

marble forge
#

it doesn't really bother me anyway. it's sitting below my desk so should I have to boot it I just plug my monitor in

#

normally I should have no reason to boot it unless it crashed 😂

sinful monolith
#

there's a good reason Nvidia's GT 710 is still a top seller on Amazon

#

cheap way to get graphics to an older PC that doesn't have any that's still in great supply

the other main use for those type of cards is to enable office computers to use multiple displays

It depends on your keyboard history

If you want to have a good tactile feedback without much mechanical noise, then tactile switches will suit you.

Is it possibly to somehow "ruin" your RAM?
Just a few days ago I was able to run two Giants Editor windows open (modding program for FS19), FS19, Chrome and Discord at the same time. By accident I opened Photoshop and it obviously exceeded the RAM limit (?) on my PC, causing everything to go black. After that my PC hasn't been able to run as much at the same time anymore, and I'm curious about what caused that

spiral yew
#

grubby you can do a memory test to see if there are any bad sectors

distant monolith
#

Where do I do that?

spiral yew
#

it's a windows program but do a search for memory test

#

you won't be able to use the pc while its running

did you find it grubby?

Yeah, just tried it out. Didn't have any errors

I'm seeking why my laptop charger turn off when I'm playing ETS2

#

It happen only with ETS2/ATS

dusty timber
#

Temps?

spiral yew
#

Sounds like It's pulling more juice than the charger can provide

sand valley
#

And I do not have a little charger

spiral yew
#

Do you know what the power setting is set to when plugged in?

sand valley
#

Maximum perfomances

#

So it's the max possible.

#

Also I can stream F1 2019 without this issue

spiral yew
#

How do you know the charger stops working when you are playing ets2?

sand valley
#

Performances drops

I am kinda left out with my question

sand valley
#

I did not understood your question

dusty timber
#

What are the temps?

#

I don't check them

dusty timber
#

So do it.

Maybe something gets toasty.

Well, anyway

#

It might hit differently

Those other games might be optimized better than ets2/ats

sand valley

Maybe the game engine

Anyway, I'll setup back my arduinos with LCD screen to show up t°C

and busy places in MP tank the framerate no matter what kind of PC you have

I had 3 FPS in Calais but I left without a crash or anything

agile ermine
#

you really think I'd go for a high framerate setting on ETS2 ? kekw

distant sparrow
#

Well having a high refresh rate monitor is pointless unless you use settings allowing for a high framerate...

agile ermine
#

going for a high refresh rate is pointless if you can have the game look better and still being smooth, unless you're some sort of competitive player

#

but there isn't any esport tournaments on ETS2 kappa

latent aurora
#

Depends on what you need

sinful monolith
#

for what purpose?

latent aurora
#

do you need the space but dont need speed or do you need speed but not the space?

#

Like Applications like Servers profits from more speed

#

What do you want to do?

#

Then use the faster RAM obviously

sinful monolith
#

well... depends on the games you want to play too

latent aurora
#

8GB with 2133MHz

sinful monolith
#

some games have 16 as minimum system req

latent aurora
#

indeed

#

but its useless if it just have 1600MHz

#

well, use 16GB with at least 2133

#

depends on the mainboard you couldtry to overclock it a bit.

#

2x 8GB with 2133MHz are better as 1x 16GB

#

the most have at least two banks for RAMs

#

today

#

I dont understand it though

#

well, then 😄

#

replace the first one with the other ones

sinful monolith
#

the amount of sticks equal to the amount of channels the CPU supports is generally best, and most consumer CPUs are 2 channels

#

more important than high mhz on the sticks

latent aurora
#

can agree to that

#

well, you already have two banks for RAM... so why a new motherboard?

spiral yew
#

yea

latent aurora
#

yeah?

spiral yew
#

dual channel just means 2 sticks

latent aurora
#

For a dual channel you need two ram sticks and two ram banks on the MB

spiral yew
#

quad channel is 4 sticks

latent aurora
#

and as you already have two, replace the first ram with the new one and the other empty one is the other ram stick placed

#

and the leftover RAM you could try to sell or keep it, for security reasons 😄

#

yeah, so you always have reserve ^^

#

I also have 1x 4GB of DDR4-2133MHz RAM here ^^

spiral yew
#

yea

#

make sure when you buy them you get them in a pair

#

depends on how much you want to spend

sinful monolith
#

right now, pretty hard

spiral yew
#

i doubt you'll find any new ones

sinful monolith
#

*at a reasonable price

#

yeah that's way above what it's worth

#

it'd probably be around 600$

spiral yew
#

600-800 isn't it?

sinful monolith
#

it launched at 800 but it's last gen now

spiral yew
#

nvidia doesn't even make the 2080 series anymore

sinful monolith
#

3060 Ti is 400$ and gets better frames in some games

spiral yew
#

no one knows

sinful monolith
#

don't think nvidia has ever said.. all they confirmed is that they sold poorly compared to the previous generation

balmy flax
#

can anyone help me figure out what ram i actually have without having to take my laptop apart

dusty timber
#

Search by a part number

balmy flax
#

the part number comes back to ramaxel 4gb ram but it says i have 8gb with 1 space used so surely thats not right?

sinful monolith
#

it's dual channel so you have 2 sets

#

the other 4GB may be soldered onto the laptop motherboard

balmy flax
#

so should i just ignore how it says i have a free space as per how it sAys on the top of the screen?

sinful monolith

hard to say without looking inside the case

balmy flax

Hey there, my NVIDIA Ctrl Panel is only picking up my TV, which is running on the GPU, I feel dumb, but how can I change my laptop screen to not run on the CPU, but run on the GPU.

#

Ok now I at least changed my main monitor, but I still can't access it on NVIDIA Cntrl

Okay so got a question for the wonderful tech community...
I've got a Kingston Micro SD card of 128 GB, which I use for my dash camera. I also use a SD card reader for easier access of the videos from my PC, but I have a bad tendency to delete the files directly from the card...
So, why the heck is the deleted files automatically overwritten by other files already on the card? Like it would just move whatever it can on top of the deleted files, for whatever reason...

dusty timber
#

deleted files automatically overwritten by other files already on the card
What?

#

How can the deleted files be overwritten?

turbid vapor
#

I wish to know why, it just did, I never did any other operations other than deleting the files, which prompts me if I want to "permanently" delete the files... Yet they are overwritten by more recent files already on the card, just why...

#

Like... why waste writing operation immediately after deleting a file, for something that is already existing on the card, like why bother moving it onto the "sectors" of the SD card that had a file freshly deleted

#

Anyways, that gotta be the weirdest thing I've seen to be honest... There was one video I wanted to recover due that it contained a small detail I overlooked and remembered about after I deleted it -.-

distant sparrow
turbid vapor
# distant sparrow Dashcams continually overwrite the oldest footage. Generally, you can recover de...

You don't understand me, at all... The card was on my USB reader, not on my dashcam, and it was plugged on my PC, and all I did was press the delete button on specific files, and when I scanned with Recuva, it showed that there was videos, which was already there, that was overwriting the ones that I manually deleted, my dashcam had nothing to do with it, but I don't know if it's just like a Windows thing to erase the files for good on these cards or what...

#

When in general, the files should still be there if nothing else had been writing on top of it, which could happen if you move files onto the card, which was not my case...

dusty timber
#

Well, "deleting" is not actually what it seems to be

#

Usually, "deleting" means "forget where the file is", that's why you can see some leftovers via Recuva or any other recovery software.

turbid vapor
#

Yeah I know it's supposed to delete the reference to it, like when you format something, you're using some of the space to lay out all the "clusters" or bits of space, but yeah it's just weird that as soon as that I manually deleted the files, they were all with chunks of other files that was already existing on the card, like it wanted to rearrange it, a bit like the point of defrag

#

There was no new files being added, just files on there being moved on top of the deleted ones

dusty timber
turbid vapor
#

I'm just as surprised and confused as you xd I remember recovering a few files, but most of time I'm out of luck since I waited too long, which is normal

#

But that was on my hard drive

dusty timber
#

Zeroing out all the space three time should help

distant sparrow
#

That's why quick format is so quick because all it does is delete the references to the data, not overwrite the sectors.

turbid vapor
#

Anyways, it's not a huge deal, the actual clip I was looking for could've led to more troubles than any good, but it's irrelevant to this channel

dusty timber
#

Depends on an actual stick, stock is recommended.

#

You won't notice any big difference in day-to-day usage for sure.

latent aurora
#

No Overclocking and changes in the Timings

#

Like how you got it delivered

#

Those are the Timings

#

and even if you buy 2866MHz Ram, they mostly will be delivered with stock 2133MHz, they just can go up to that speed (and sometimes even more)

#

and with the timings, the lower the better so far

dusty timber
#

There are no "recommended" specs for RAM.

#

It heavily depends on an actual stick, as I said earlier

#

And again, as I said earlier, you won't see any benefit out of overclock.

latent aurora
#

Yeah

dusty timber
#

Depends on a stick!!!

#

Goddamn

latent aurora
#

but mostly you don't have a benefit in overclocking

#

I had to as I had big lagspikes... from 2133 to 2866 and everything was fine again

dusty timber
#

There are stock, (probably) XMP profiles pre-configured at the factory, and you can change them on some mobos.

latent aurora
#

but that is always different to other sticks

#

yeaahhh no

#

mostly, yes

#

well, Overclocking is mostly NOT needed

#

but sometimes you have to (like me) because you have lagspikes. or you just want to be "cool" that you have 3900MHz on ur ram sticks (and some ppl think srsly they are cool with that lol)

agile ermine
#

Very high frequency sticks won't be very useful, unless you're chasing after some benchmarks world records

#

But you definitely shouldn't pick a cheap 2133MHz stick

#

I'd say a good compromise is 3200MHz CL16

#

They're not too expensive, but it won't limit your cpu performances

#

Or 3600MHz if you want optimal performances for an AMD cpu

#

For intel, you will be limited at 2666MHz or 2933MHz if you don't have a Z-series motherboard chipset

#

And a Z-series chipset is totally useless if you don't have a K-series cpu

#

Also, you should never run a single ram stick, because there is a big performance gap between running single channel and dual channel @jade dust

dusty timber
#

Watt, not wat kekw

latent aurora
#

CJ 😂

dusty timber
#

Just leave it as is

wide temple
#

Conversely, RAM speed is quite important on Ryzen CPUs 🙃

#

I overclocked mine from 2400Mhz to 3200Mhz using the Ryzen DRAM Calculator

latent aurora
#

I did the same 😄 but my ram is quite instable with 3000MHz.... so 2866 are working fine and I have no issue

dusty timber
#

I just have stock XMP Profile on DDR4-2400 CL15-15-15 @1.2V

#

I can technically overclock it up to 3333 Mhz

balmy flax
#

Anyone had any experience with hypertec ram?

balmy flax
#

also is there anyway i can tell for sure what the maximum ram i can install in my laptop is? I did a scan on crucial and they say i can put 20GB max in, but i checked kingston memory and they say i can have a max of 12GB

flat grove
balmy flax
#

and its a lenovo Ideapad 330S

mighty vine
#

36 GB of RAM max

flat grove
#

false

flat grove
mighty vine
#

Close enough

balmy flax
#

i doubt ill need 32gb lol

flat grove
#

BUT!!!
Lenovo solders RAM on the MOBO, usually they solder 4 GB
And leave you with one dimm slot
Which would add up to 20 GB (if you use a 16 GB SODIMM)

balmy flax
#

Yh i have a 4Gb non removable ram on there according to the crucial scan

#

and then a 4gb stick added on to give me the 8gb

flat grove
#

yeah, you need to replace that 4 GB stick with what ever you need (either 8 or 16 GB)

balmy flax
#

is it true that i have an m.2 space? bc its rumoured that i do but i havent had time to take the case off and check

flat grove
#

yes, you should have an m.2 slot on your mobo

balmy flax
#

so id be able to have both a hdd and a sdd

#

or would i replace the hdd with the ssd

flat grove

no, you would be able to have both, a normal hdd and additionally a ssd

for ets2 and ats, I think the number of buttons on the g923 / g29 / g920 out weighs any possible benefit

sand valley
#

Well, when you can add your own button. Or built your wheels yourself with a fanatec controller, I don't see any benefits

#

it has a better brake peadal

thats all i know about the diffrence

What's more powerful, a Ryzen 7 or Core i7?

latent aurora
#

Depends

plush sinew
#

on the gpu?

latent aurora
#

no, which generation are you using - and what do you want to do with that CPU? Gaming, Rendering?

plush sinew
#

preferably gaming

latent aurora
#

Well, okay. then both brands are good to go

plush sinew
#

on a 3060ti complete pc, 16gb, 1tb ssd, the price difference is $150 between the two cpu's

latent aurora
#

Don't buy a complete PC

#

they are mostly overpriced and the price/power level is mostly not balanced out... more price than power LUL

plush sinew
#

hm

latent aurora
#

just build it yourself, it's not that bad

dusty timber
#

I mean, it might be overwhelming if you don't have any experience

latent aurora
#

it's like lego, but much more higher in the price... and you can do much more on it as just with lego lol

#

also true

dusty timber
#

It is NOT like a Lego

latent aurora
#

but there are tons if not gigatons of tutorials for "How To build a Computer"

#

I know it's not like Lego, but still... it's better to build it yourself... so if something is wrong, you know, what you have to do, and if you want to add a HDD or SSD to the computer, the warranty is gone, so selfbuilding is the only and one best solution IMO

dusty timber
#

If something is wrong with your prebuild, you can call a support.

#

You don't have to bang your head by the case to solve the issue.

#

How would you know what you have to do when you build your first PC without any prior knowledge?

latent aurora
#

I'd search for a tutorial, and that's how I have done it also

#

My first PC was not a prebuilt one, it was one built by me

#

with the help of a tutorial obviously

dusty timber
#

When you have no background in certain topic, you won't know what to search.

latent aurora
#

yeah, I can agree to that

dusty timber
#

If you are curious enough to test yourself, then go ahead.

latent aurora
#

but "tutorial pc build" is giving me some quite nice things on google

and also, I am making a RAID... so if a HDD is going to heaven (or hell), I still have my data blobcatshrug and that'S not possible with exactly ONE drive

hidden shell
#

Which raid level you plan to do?

latent aurora
#

I don't know yet, but I want it to make it that way, so I have on two HDDs the same data (like mirroring) if you know what I mean 😄

#

so if one HDD is going to heaven, I don't have dataloss

hidden shell
#

That's Raid 1

#

Just be careful to not do raid 0

latent aurora
#

PanUhm what is raid 0 ? 😅

#

I never did that nor I have experience in that lol

brittle mountain
#

i personally recommend raid 50

latent aurora
#

I planned this to do, but don't know how to laugh

brittle mountain
#

but you do need 6 drives for it

latent aurora
hidden shell
#

Raid 0 is stripping which doubles your storage but with zero redundancy, I've seen peeps in the past using this and they thought they were protected

west phoenix
#

I got raid 5 running on my 6 drives server, seems to be working well

hidden shell
#

Raid 50 is for mission critical solutions, i don't see someone running that at home !

latent aurora
#

oh... like if one HDD is dying, you will loose all data? (Raid 0) ?

hidden shell
#

Yes

latent aurora
#

oh damn

#

no no

#

I want redundancy

distant sparrow
#

Raid isn't backup

#

A raid array can still fail

brittle mountain
#

2 raid 5s in a raid 0* array

#

one hdd/ssd in each array can fail without losing anything

#

but you get double (in theory) the speed of a single raid 5 array

dusty timber
#

Huh? Raid 10 is a 1+0

brittle mountain

yall what is the better graphic card, 2080ti or 3060ti (say if you had core i7)? Is there like a big difference between them?

sinful monolith
#

2080ti is about 11% faster, uses about 50W more power, and costs a lot more

plush sinew
#

is it worth it?

distant sparrow
#

depends which i7 too

#

there's a big difference between a 10700 and an 860

plush sinew
#

the 10700k

agile ermine
#

you can find an used 2080Ti for a decent price, but don't buy a brand new one, it's totally not worth it

plush sinew
#

okay, what about 3080ti? are they alike?

agile ermine
#

the 3080Ti doesn't even exists atm

plush sinew
#

only 3080, huh

sinful monolith
#

and 3090

#

which is a bit closer to what RTX Titan was for 2000 series

plush sinew
#

So the best graphic card for high fps games is 2080ti?

agile ermine
#

it was, since now the 3070, 3080 and 3090 are better

plush sinew
#

okay, got it

sand valley

About the 3070, it's worthless.

I'd give everyone a nice advice. Don't buy so called "Gaming Notebooks".

#

i7-8750H, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060.

#

CPU fan died.

sand valley
agile ermine
#

CPU fans can die on every laptop, not only on the gaming ones, you know...

agile ermine
#

also, the cooling on your machine seems to be really weak, you've only got 3 small heatpipes and a single air intake...

distant sparrow
dusty timber
#

There are two air intakes, not one

#

I bet the bottom plate is perferated as well

agile ermine
#

Better than most, but not that good considering what it has to cool

distant sparrow
#

it's only a 45w cpu

#

and the mobile versions of gpus are often much less powerful than their desktop equivalents

#

the real question is whether you remembered to use a thermal paste applicator

#

and wear an antistatic wristband kappapeek troll

agile ermine
#

45W CPU plus 80W GPU

#

that's still not a lot... my laptop has similar TDP figures, and yet it has 6 heatpipes with two intakes on the sides, two exhausts on the back and half of the bottom is perforated

distant sparrow
#

that cooling system looks more than sufficient

#

it has 3 heat pipes linking to a substantial radiator

#

the manufacturers generally know which components they're including, so they will design and fit a cooling system that can handle it

agile ermine
#

so I guess that's why most laptops actually suffer that hard from thermal throttle...

distant sparrow
#

well arguably the main reason there is lack of maintenance

#

the cooling systems are usually perfectly adequate, but add 3 years worth of dust and dried up thermal paste and it won't perform as designed

gleaming parrot
#

even after reapplying thermal paste it might not have enough thermal conductivity

#

but you have to buy really cheap stuff for that to happen

distant sparrow
#

unlikely but it's potentially possible with the really cheap stuff

celest nova
#

Ye, that thing is 2 years old

#

Cleaned it up twice in that time

#

Never had so much problems before than with this laptop

agile ermine
#

uh, no

#

most brand new laptops suffer a lot from thermal throttle, especially the powerful ones

#

one of my friends have a laptop with an i7 10875h, and it thermal throttles so hard it lost to my i7 9750h by a significant margin in a multicore benchmark, while having 2 extra cores

distant sparrow
#

I don't really think you can say that, given that you probably haven't sampled more than 3 laptops.

agile ermine
#

oh, you wanna talk about macbooks then?

sinful monolith
#

a laptop's cooling system is just as important as the parts it's cooling

#

and they vary a lot between models even from the same manufacturer

#

many of the thin and light laptops have powerful CPUs they can't cool properly just for system snappiness; they're not supposed to run at peak performance for hours or even minutes.. just long enough to do quick tasks quicker while still maintaining decent performance for longer tasks.

distant sparrow
#

I was just saying that making blanket statements is probably ill advised.

agile ermine
#

you'll find plenty of examples everywhere, thermal throttling is common for a laptop

#

and it can happen even with a laptop that has a good cooling solution, with a cpu undervolt, etc etc...

#

also, its bold from you to assume that all manufacturers are willing to spend big amounts of money into designing great cooling solutions

spiral yew
#

just buy a kegerator fridge and put the laptop inside of it and have the fridge plugged in and running

distant sparrow
#

That's terrible for the lithium ion battery though

dusty timber

#

Also I don't think the fridge is going to disappate the heat well enough because it's air tight, but it's an interesting concept.

I got a question. I have a local server running windows 10 and I also use extended datasharing on a HDD where all my Movies/Shows/Music/Pics are located in. So far so good.

In the local network it's working fine - more as fine. What do I need to do to get access out of the local network?

I guess port forwarding, so far so good. Which Port exactly? (I can do that, as I also host a MC Server on it and the RDP is also working fine being not in local network peek )

hidden shell
#

You don't want to share your network shares on the net, very bad idea

distant sparrow
#

You don't really want to port forward.

#

Definitely don't port forward RDP.

latent aurora
#

Well, how am I supposed to connect me to the Server then?

hidden shell
#

Port forward for rdp, fine, but network shares, that's a big no no

distant sparrow
hidden shell
#

Rdp is fine for that, you do realize that there's millions of rdp serves out there, i don't think there is a know hack for port 3389

latent aurora
#

even if, I changed the external port to a different one

#

but still, how can I get access to my files when I am not at home?

hidden shell
#

Rdp

latent aurora
#

as I want to share this bibliothek with my mom as her TV can do that

#

well, without laptop? peek

#

I just want to stream the files to my mom's TV and if I am on the way (like on a train) I want to watch my things on it PanUhm

#

there must be a solution or am I wrong?

hidden shell
#

It is not easy to do that, if you share your network drive over the internet you"ll be hacked in less than an hour. A vpn?

latent aurora
#

what about installing a cloud and using one who can stream the files?

#

like... nextcloud AFAIK?

hidden shell
#

Ya, that would be a much better approach

latent aurora
#

Alright peepee_hmm

hidden shell
#

But you must find a TV that will be able to connect to this service

latent aurora
#

oh yeah, there was something...

hidden shell
#

If it's an android TV, you can connect it to a google account and get access to google drive or something

latent aurora
#

It's a Samsung 😅

#

I will just give her my old laptop and will bookmark the site then

#

now I have another question.... what is a good alternative to plesk? Should be cost-free... like domainmanagement.... I use Debian 10 as VM (HyperV)

tiny niche
#

Consider using software like Plex.tv for streaming movies, music and pictures as it comes with an app on pretty much all platforms, including Samsung TV's Tizen OS. Also for RDP (and anything else tied to my home network) from remote I use Wireguard @latent aurora

I don't want to upload over 1000 Episodes and Movies 😂

I have the whole show of grey's anatomy, supernatural, s*x education, der bergdoktor and so on PanUhm

tiny niche
#

You can just set up your Plex media server and then stream from it to the Plex app on a device of your choice

latent aurora
#

so I don't have to upload it?

tiny niche
#

No you host your own media server, so if your files are already on your server you could set that one up as the media server

latent aurora
#

that sounds nice

#

thanks for that suggestion Flybel catlove

#

will try that out now

Plex is generally free in the free tiers.

It's definitely very good...

@tiny niche the result -> Plex is running fine now, but I have to pay in the android app, if I want to stream it..., luckily I have VLC for local playing, but I consider purchasing the 5€ though thisisfine thanks again for this suggestion catlove

ASRock mocks MSI and ASUS for copying their design ASRock on Facebook posted a video mocking two motherboard makers for being ‘too inspired’ by their X570 AQUA ultra-premium design. ASRock X570 Aqua is a special limited motherboard for enthusiasts based on AMD 500 series chipset. This motherboard was unique for many reasons, such as being […]

also for the above sharing thing -> OpenVPN is the answer if you need direct access to network shares

  1. Different port via router forwarding rules
  2. Strong password

or better

  1. VPN to your location, yeah
sinful monolith
#

wireguard is super easy to set up for that

#

much easier than openvpn

wide temple
#

I'd be hesitant to open an RDP port direct to your own PC even if its different unless you're going through an RDS gateway. All it takes is for your system to be unpatched or a 0 day exploit for someone to gain complete access. Not worth the risk imo

dusty timber
#

I agree

#

I have an IP restriction

wide temple
#

can't say I've had any experience with Wireguard yet kapp Last time I set it up was when it was still in its infancy, maybe I should give it a try now that it's more polished

sinful monolith
#

it's built into the kernel now

#

I think iOS supports it natively too now?

sinful monolith
#

not sure about iOS but the android app works great

#

except it doesn't reconnect after restarting the phone

Wireguard can be installed on Edgerouter systems by Ubiquiti. You may need to fiddle a little bit in order to get it working due to some missing functionality. This guide will help you set it up on your EdgeOS device and how to configure it. Where to download Wireguard You can get an EdgeOS build … Install Wireguard on Ubiquiti Edgerouter EdgeOS...

#

if all you need is a connection between 2 networks, it's super simple

dusty timber
#

No Wireguard for me coz RouterOS 6 doesn't support it 😭

wide temple
#

maybe you could try flash a custom firmware such as OpenWRT if it supports it?

sinful monolith
#

you can just use it on end devices instead of a router

dusty timber
#

I like ROS though

sinful monolith

port forward

Meh

Ubiquity equipment is trusted in my case

sinful monolith

I use it to access my cloud servers so my usecase is very different.. don't have a network setup at home yet

dense crystal

I have a signal lengthener

I hope you're running CAT6 cabling into every room kapp

sinful monolith

I'm running no network cables at home MiniK

5G -> phone -> wifi -> pc/laptop

dense crystal
#

No network at all?

#

Oh, makes sense

sinful monolith
#

wired consumer internet in Germany is baad

dense crystal
#

Internet in America is baad

We have like 200 down and like 4 or 5 up

That's... good

But the upload is not matched with the download

wide temple
#

I don't think 3v gets more than 10/10

#

Fairly normal

#

Most ISPs don't have the backbone to support large upload speeds, and most consumers don't even need it

#

I get 100/100 on a good day

#

problem is that I also get less than 1/1 on a daily basis out of the same router

#

I get consistently over 100/100 on 5G with my phone so I just use that

# wide temple I think iOS supports it natively too now?

There is an iOS app to configure it, it even features on-demand activation, so I set it to always be enabled when on mobile data or in a WiFi other than my own. It doesn‘t kill the battery too ^^
I mainly use it for Pi-hole, it‘s super easy to install if you use pivpn: https://www.pivpn.io I only had to manually configure everything for IPv6 support which pivpn didn‘t have when I installed it (don‘t know if they have it now)

sinful monolith
#

didn't know about pivpn but that's exactly why I installed wireguard on my phones

modest rampart

Opinions on s21?

dusty timber
modest rampart
#

In my opinion it's an s20 with a different skin and some very minor changes

latent aurora
#

Well, I made it now different

#

I also removed the RDP Port from public ethernet, I use TeamViewer (with Autostart and connected to my Profile there) so I also have access to the Server itself. So the Server runs local again, just some ports are open alike for the MCServers and database-server and (suggested from Flybel) Plex for sharing my media files

Hello ladies and gents,

I'm considering to buy a new pc, simply because my old one just died back in november. It took a lot of hours, but I came up with the following specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K
MoBo: ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E Gaming
Ram: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200
Storage: Mushkin Solid State Drive »Pilot-E 2 TB, PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3, M.2 (2280)«
Cooler: MASTERLIQUID ML360R RGB
GPU: GeForce RTX 3070 AORUS MASTER 8G
PSU: Chieftec BDF-850C, 850w
Case: Cooler Master MASTERBOX MB511 ARBG

This pc is considered to be a gaming pc only. What're your thoughts on the above?

latent aurora
#

Am I blind or don't you have any HDDs?

#

But this setup does look quite good

buoyant condor
#

No HDD's, just ssd

#

Or should I include a hdd, too?

jolly shoal
#

if ur going 10th gen i7 why not a 9th gen i9 ? there gunna probs be around similar pricing

buoyant condor
#

Will consider that. Thx

id go 250gb ssd for win files etc and a 1tb ssd dedicated for ur games n other crap

#

no reall need for a big boot drive youl just have alott unused gb's

sinful monolith
jolly shoal
#

yeah agreed marginal differences though but its worth price matching it see hwat save u the lile bit extra speed difference be marginal so your not compromising much going for a few quid saved

distant sparrow
#
  • there's the benefits of a newer cpu
sinful monolith
#

true, and might be able to go secondhand for even cheaper

jolly shoal
#

coming to procs i would never go 2nd hand dunno how much its been screwed lol

#

but ima be building a pc my laptop is a i7 9750H gtx 1650 it rather top end laptop buh i wanna build another machine

#

been looking at the i9 x series

i9-10980XE

I had to move fallout 4 from my HDD to an SSD to get rid of stuttering in the game

jolly shoal

yeah thats the only issue is ur data transfer why i prefer my games on my 1tb external ssd

man i just found a 29 grand pc i nerli shit my self at 29 grand price

#

running double processor and triple gpu haha

sinful monolith
#

sounds like a workstation

jolly shoal

i think it would run a nasa space ship

3 rtx 3090s lmao a i9 xe and i7 10700k haha omg it looks beautifull but i could buy my house with 29k

distant sparrow
#

only 2 cpus?

jolly shoal
#

the 2 best cpu in the world aye

distant sparrow
#

that seems a terrible deal

sinful monolith
#

oh, it's not a single PC that makes more sense

distant sparrow
#

for people that need lots of cpu cores, they'd be better served with a pair of xeons

sinful monolith
#

it's 2 separate systems in the same case

jolly shoal
#

yh it dual system in one case haha

distant sparrow
#

there's no way you can use all the power simualtaneously

sinful monolith

consumer CPUs can't do multiple CPUs in the same system

yeah sure man i just saw it wilst browsing google it was the price that made me click it haha i wanted see wtf it had inside

i got invest in a decent camera for my streams my laptop hd cam not up to par when my streams r 1080 lol

my hd cams like 420 or 720 tops most likely 420 on a standard laptop screen panel

distant sparrow

just use your phone's camera

it's almost certainly a lot better than any webcam you can buy

and most of the apps that you need are free
