[serene sonnet]

also for $215 (converted from sek) it's not a horrible price for CPU and mobo of ample power

[topaz veldt]

[gloomy vault]

iphone 17 air though 🤤

apples gonna influence me to make bad decisions

[delicate marten]

I do not approve the air

[hoary hatch]

NGL every time I look at S25 Edge in best buy I am tempted

[gloomy vault]

yeah if youre spending $999 might as well top up $100 to get the pro

which is way better

[delicate marten]

Exactly, + in ME and Asian countries, ppl still prefer sim over esim

[steel stream]

edge?

[hoary hatch]

Yeah

[delicate marten]

I hated the orange colour personally, it looked better in the leaks

[gloomy vault]

yeah it honestly looks disgusting

[steel stream]

what's the difference between edge and ultra

[delicate marten]

Exactly 🗣️ 🔥

[hoary hatch]

Edge is a super slim S25+
Ultra is a Note

[steel stream]

idk what that means imma be honest

[gloomy vault]

base model this year's actually pretty compelling

[merry stirrup]

meow

[delicate marten]

yea tbh not as bad as i expected

[topaz veldt]

I'm trying to, duh

[hoary hatch]

S25 = normal phone
S25+ = XL screen size normal phone
S25 Edge = XL screen size but super slim
S25 Ultra = XXL screen size and thick and it has built in stylus (S pen)

[gloomy vault]

do you even get an roi on them considering you have so many

[merry stirrup]

no

[shell void]

[hoary hatch]

S25FE = corporate

[steel stream]

ah got it, thanks

[merry stirrup]

[steel stream]

I kinda want a 16e for shits and giggles ngl

[hoary hatch]

I don't understand how arrow lake refresh on desktop doesn't launch by end of year

Just scratch out the 2 on the box and write a 3

[delicate marten]

I feel its fine, as a iphone 15 user, I would likely upgrade next year when the 18 or what ever launches to a 17 pro or pro max just cuz I know it aint gonna be a hell lot of diff

[hoary hatch]

Refurb 16

[steel stream]

16e at least has C1 modem though

[gloomy vault]

apples website is always more expensive than on their other web stores though

$949 for the 16e on their site and $809 on another platform

[delicate marten]

How is it cheaper

[gloomy vault]

9/9 sale

[delicate marten]

Nah i mean how do they afford to sell it for cheaper

[gloomy vault]

the $809 is sold by the official apple store

just on a different website

[delicate marten]

Ah

[gloomy vault]

they can sell it cheaper because they make huge margins

[delicate marten]

[gloomy vault]

i was thinking china ngl

[wheat shore]

[delicate marten]

no way

[gloomy vault]

if i get a japanese model i'd be stuck of the camera shutter sound though

[delicate marten]

they were never born to be a fighter. they were born to be just there

[gloomy vault]

ok nvm japan = my country price so

[delicate marten]

Just get ppl to bring it for u when they go somewhere cheaper

[topaz veldt]

[delicate marten]

[topaz veldt]

Hmmm c240 M5 coming home

[delicate marten]

How much storage

[topaz veldt]

I'm using my own storage, 24x 1.92 TB

[delicate marten]

What are u gonna do with that much

[hearty oyster]

I’ve already had an email about iPhone 17 accessories (from Native Union, who I bought a cable from once because really good lightning cables are getting rarer)

[fringe vigil]

[delicate marten]

Yoooo what

39 hours of video playback

5,088 mAh battery doing work

[delicate marten]

Ehhh I don't think anyone gonna use it for 39hrs continuously

33 aint bad tho

[delicate marten]

Even with 39 hrs of video playback, ppl still charge their iphones atleast once under 24hrs

[steel stream]

yeah I charge my phone once a day

to about 85%

[delicate marten]

Exactly

[heavy mantle]

make it three for me

i dont use my phone only when i need to go outside or smhtn, so most of the time, its shut down

[delicate marten]

Why shut down, why not airplane mode or sumthin

[heavy mantle]

saves more power lol

[delicate marten]

[heavy mantle]

i dont use it a lot, only texting calling, maybe browes here and there and thats it

[delicate marten]

Want a better option?

[heavy mantle]

sure yeah

[delicate marten]

Nokia

🙂

Standby charge upto 20 days as per my testing

[heavy mantle]

well yes that would be amazing, just that i need some apps for collge that i dont think works on nokias

[delicate marten]

I have been using a nokia until last 4 weeks when I bought a iphone 15 without my parents knowing

[merry stirrup]

So i want to build a pi kvm

can i use any pi?

or do you guys think i need a pi4 at least

[brave panther]

you can use 2w

Can be made based on Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and Zero2W;

[merry stirrup]

i am getting moderately conflicting results

im being told yes i can use it on old pis but old pis dont support USB OTG

which is a required feature to make pikvm easy

[merry stirrup]

oh okay so that rando on reddit was just very wrong

[brave panther]

otg is needed as PI zeros dont have regular usb ports

[merry stirrup]

okay thank you

so for pi kvm i need an pi, preferably a 2 or 3 so it has ethernet at least

can i use just a different computer?

[pure garnet]

you need a pi 5 16gb for this project fr

[merry stirrup]

it doesnt work on pi5

pi5 doesnt have video encoders

[brave panther]

https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm
i hate how they lock out features out of diy platform

[merry stirrup]

to me the only crazy part is making the keyboard and mouse input make its way to the host

nothing else seems hard to manage

[brave panther]

usb capture cards are cheap

[merry stirrup]

yes thats what im wondering

if i can avoid having to buy a pi and use a minipc instead can i use the same software?

[brave panther]

you can emulate that with pi pico

[merry stirrup]

what is this bread board's purpose on the site. the guide doesnt really mention what about it

oh i see

[brave panther]

https://github.com/sipper69/Control3

[merry stirrup]

and this works in bios? it seems so

[brave panther]

lmao

serial to usb HID

[merry stirrup]

and i need something with specifically the video chip?

[merry stirrup]

is this something web capable? it doesnt seem like it

thats not terrible but that is my plan

whats the best wii u game to emulate

[fringe vigil]

wii sports

[edgy laurel]

BoTW

throwback to early days playing BoTW @ 3440x1440 with high-res textures

it was the WiiU version, better to emulate than the Switch version

using Cemu

[heavy mantle]

i have a wii u and playing the game there is meh

i would much rather the swich ver hoenstly tho

[edgy laurel]

you're not playing it on the Wii U

please read

[heavy mantle]

yeah yeah i ment like on pc

[edgy laurel]

what does that have to do with the console

[heavy mantle]

just that both pc and wii u its just alr, the swich veriosn imo is the best and pc swich is better than everything

[raven citrus]

honestly the only thing i dont like about cemu is that when im using my mouse as a gamepad touch screen

it doesnt line up its like off by a inch

[edgy laurel]

and that was 2017, i'm sure its improved

[fringe vigil]

Nice

Guide please

[heavy mantle]

yes

if am not wrong there is a full 4k texture mod for the game somewhere

[edgy laurel]

bro that was 8 years ago, its was complicated back then. i have no idea how to do that anymore

jorj

[raven citrus]

im just playin pikmin 3 in 4k

[devout ridge]

can you stop posting random SS pics before i have to block you

[fringe vigil]

it isnt a spoiler, its just a random enemy chill out

[hoary hatch]

You aren't @shell void 🤬

But yeah you're probably right

N3P
Napkin math says this isn't a huge jump in performance for cpu compared to A18 pro, but apple is already so far ahead in CPU it doesn't matter

I saw something that mentioned CPU is supposed to be +20% compared to A17 pro

Most interesting thing is honestly the N1 network chip

[edgy laurel]

@turbid locust

Or @shell void

are there HDR limitations with IoT versions of WIndows that you're aware of?

trying to help this guy https://linustechtips.com/topic/1622390-hdr-compatible-monitor-not-being-able-to-use-hdr-windows-says-not-supported-but-when-i-change-certain-settings-gives-a-notification-for-hdr/

he's got the double whammy. AMD 6700xt and some IoT version of windows

and a XG27AQDMG

I hear nothing but problems with AMD cards and HDR support

I know it can work

but it can also be a pain in the ass

[pure garnet]

hdr sucks on my display but seems to work prefectly fine on iot ltsc for me if i turn it on

[edgy laurel]

ok so you can turn it on, thats good to know

[pure garnet]

476 nits, quite the experience

[edgy laurel]

color space HDR but 8-bit color..

[pure garnet]

i just hit the windows toggle to check tbf

i don't think the entry level panel is doing 10bit though

yeah it's locked out

[edgy laurel]

interesting. my el-cheapo NZXT 1440p 27" will do 10-bit

[pure garnet]

my side monitor will

[young void]

Hrmm I myte have to check it out when I get homes

[pure garnet]

this still looks awful but

10 bit hdr works

[topaz veldt]

Remember 6-bit TN?

[edgy laurel]

TBH I was under the impression the display needed to support 10-bit color to even allow HDR

[edgy laurel]

The first monitor I owned where I even knew what that meant was my 30" Dell. Everything before that was just a computer monitor, if you know what i mean

[pure garnet]

i have 8 dimming zones when hdr is on

[edgy laurel]

also 5nail Cleet put up dual 18' Big Ass Fans lol

[topaz veldt]

Oh nice

[edgy laurel]

I don't know why i'm amazed that its so quiet even at 100%

of course. big fan, can spin slower

[turbid locust]

I have no issues

[edgy laurel]

ok cool

all buddy can say about what specific version of Windows he's running is

Windows version KB5065426 and I use windows LTSC 2024 IoT

[merry stirrup]

okay ive got the methods

i bought that cable martin helped me find

im gonna use my HP mini pc and some rando SSD to be the "pi" in my pi kvm

and then the rest is on me to do mostly alone cause nobody has done the exact same route as me

but thats all software and who cares about that

so hopefully within in a week or two ill have a KVM to overclock when im not at home 💀

[torpid blaze]

Yo could anyone help me with something regarding installing a gpu

Do i install nvidia app before installing the gpu or after

[merry stirrup]

after

[torpid blaze]

Allright thanks

Nothing will change if i install the gpu without downloading anything before hand right

[merry stirrup]

i mean you probably wont have drivers and itll look like shit

obviously the gpu changes if you change the gpu

[edgy laurel]

is this a new build?

or a gpu swap

@torpid blaze

[torpid blaze]

New gpu install

I copped a rtx 3050 8gb brand new for 100 bucks

[edgy laurel]

on a brand new system you've never booted up before, i'm asking

[torpid blaze]

Ive used integrated graphics

So no its not a new system

I've used it for a few months

[edgy laurel]

ok. is the system up and working now on integrated graphics?

[torpid blaze]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

pre-download the whole driver package

not just the Nvidia app

makes things quicker later https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/

[torpid blaze]

I was thinking about doing that but i thought there are risks

To downloading it without the gpu

[edgy laurel]

downloading it

not installing it

[torpid blaze]

Fair enough

[edgy laurel]

two very different words

[torpid blaze]

So aslong as i dont click it after its downloaded im fine right

[edgy laurel]

the installer file will just sit there in your downoads folder ready to go when you boot up with the new card

[torpid blaze]

Thanks ill go do that before i hit to bed

[edgy laurel]

i mean yeah but like.. you're worried about nothing. whatever you read you likely misunderstood

simply pre-downloading the driver installer is pretty normal..

[torpid blaze]

So get the drivers now nvidia app after

[edgy laurel]

beginners often mixup or use the terms download and install interchangeably and they mean very different things in context

[random flame]

Always found these somewhat neat, even if really it's just a huge ass industrial ceiling fan.

[edgy laurel]

no, the full driver package includes it all

[torpid blaze]

Oo i didnt know that

[edgy laurel]

download drivers, shutdown PC, install card, boot up PC, install drivers. done.

[torpid blaze]

Thanks that wraps it up for me

[edgy laurel]

ensure you move the monitor from the iGPU to the new GPU

[torpid blaze]

Yeah i did watch some videos beforehand

To put the hdmi cable on the gpu

[edgy laurel]

ideally you'd also disconnect your wired networking before shutting down to swap the card, or disable Wifi

[fringe vigil]

Latest driver update everyone!

[edgy laurel]

so when the PC starts back up, Windows doesn't try to grab its own outdated basic driver

and since you pre-downloaded the drivers, it won't matter

[torpid blaze]

So turn off WiFi, install the drivers then your good

[edgy laurel]

you can, or just do it before you shutdown to do the install

like I said

[torpid blaze]

This is my first ever time installing a gpu or touching a gpu, i used to come from intel celeron cpu laptops

[edgy laurel]

as soon as you boot back up into Windows with the new GPU installed, Windows Update will have found the new hardware and start silently installing an old basic driver. which is why I suggest never giving it a chance

so I just pull my ethernet cable when I shutdown and don't plug it back in till the system is up with the driver installed

[torpid blaze]

If you download the new drivers itll overwrite the old ones right

[edgy laurel]

what iGPU do you have?

[torpid blaze]

Ryzen 5 3400g

[edgy laurel]

its a desktop so its not Nvidia, so you don't have any Nvidia drivers to overwrite

I would leave the iGPU's drivers alone for now until you determine the GPU works

[torpid blaze]

Allrighty

[edgy laurel]

once you're satisfied, you can go into Windows apps section and uninstall any semblance of AMD Adrenaline that might be installed

assuming you never plan to use the iGPU for anything

[torpid blaze]

I never used any amd software but it is installed with it

When i got the pc

[fringe vigil]

Apple is using the camera bar on the iPhone Air to house essential components like the earpiece speaker and the A19 Pro chip to maximise battery capacity.

This is such an elegant design solution to a long-standing engineering problem.

Hey so I’m building a pc build right now, the power supply is used (worked on previous build I took out of) and I just bought this motherboard, when I turn it on the light flicks to the motherboard then no fans or anything spin, is it the PSU or dead mobo?

so signal integrity benefits from 4 dimm

satin titanium or nickel plating?

satin titanium

[steel stream]

i'd go with either 2 or 4 from this I think, but they all look nice

what about #1

its for my white build @steel stream

1 or 2, 3 and 4 are too dark, but I think 1 would be best for white as it doesn't seem super reflective

[topaz veldt]

yeah leaning that way

[shell void]

the "long standing engineering problem" as if anyone was asking for thinner phones

[topaz veldt]

nickel is nice too, #2, but its very chromy

[steel stream]

it's a cool feat of engineering, but not one that was needed

[whole coral]

I definitely think it’s beneficial on the iPhone Pro models

[shell void]

yeah that's how i feel as well, it's a cool phone, but i wouldnt pick it over a pro

iPhone 20 looks wild lol. Looks like truly all display without a cutout

I don’t think that’s gonna be easy at all from an engineering perspective

I am personally not interested in an iPhold tbh, for texts and calls or basic web browsing my iphone is perfect, and I want a more solid phone, not folding

hehe kinda related funny anecdote. I work for an ISP and earlier this year i heard an outside tech refer to a line they were working on as "gunshot fiber" and i thought it was a special fiber type or connector type i didnt know about. turns out he meant it was literally shot with a gun, thats why they were having to work on it.

The iPhone 17 Pro (and maybe other models) have a new setting to disable PWM:

“Disables pulse width modulation to provide a different way to dim the OLED display, which can create a smoother display output at low brightness levels. Disabling PWM may affect low brightness display

Refund the "key" and purchase Windows from a legitimate authorized reseller (NewEgg, Canada Computers, Memory Express, MicroCenter, etc.) or Microsoft directly. Buy a Retail license, link it to your Microsoft account, and BAM! You can move it between unlimited computers for life.

[jaunty horizon]

Has Apple actually said what the reason is for the new Apple Watches to get 5G? I understand the satellite connectivity on the Ultra, but what use could 5G have on one of these? Surely you're not streaming video or doing some big download from the watch..

[devout ridge]

You can stream music from the watch

Though honestly it's probably a gimmick

[jaunty horizon]

But you could already do that on 4G, which still uses way less power, no?

[devout ridge]

Correct

[shell void]

5g is an umbrella term nowadays

no real reason to restrict a new device to LTE

especially now that they’re making their own cellular modems to reduce costs

[wraith steeple]

I was able to cop the DeltaMate block, let's goooooo

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't work like that. like DDR5, or Wifi7. Its simply the standard. "5G" isn't one thing, it quite literally just means "5th generation" level hardware. What power is used is entirely variable.

Open up your mind a little.

[edgy laurel]

thats insane

$530 to cool a GPU that came with a cooler already lol

I hope its worth it!

i'm assuming thats for an Astral 5090? didn't know you had one

[bold spruce]

my internet is so sloww

my mobile hotspot faster than wifi

[jaunty horizon]

a bit harsh, thanks.

My only experience with 5G on my phone (Pixel 7) is noticeably faster speeds than 4G, at the cost of my battery life (especially screen-off-time). Friends with modern iPhones have said the same thing (we're in Europe). Maybe it's different in North America? Either way I asked because I already was trying to "open up my mind a little"

[bold spruce]

n ah man

i wanted to download ubisoft connects .exe file. 237 mb. its going to take 5 HOURS

THATS NOT NORMAL

[edgy laurel]

Maybe it is, maybe its not. Determine where the slowdown is occuring. PC to Router, or router to general internet, or router to specifically Ubisofts servers.

[bold spruce]

ima get a powerline adapter

[edgy laurel]

wireless link to your router? Is that stable and low latency? Can do basic ping testing to your default gateway IP (your router, typically) to do basic checks for anomalies.

[arctic bronze]

Gotta make sure ur room is connected to the same circuit as where ur router is

[edgy laurel]

Easy way is to turn it all off and turn on 1 breaker at a time

[arctic bronze]

Ah, thanks

[edgy laurel]

As michael put it, its simply an umbrella term for all sorts of 5th gen hardware. Multiple bands, multiple speed tiers, multiple power levels. Its not just one thing.

[edgy laurel]

If the UPS has a USB link to your PC, either Windows or the UPS software should allow that

I had my Cyberpower unit's software configured to shut the PC down after a minute or two on battery power

without their software, windows also has some settings for that

wasting good panels by pairing them with neutered scalars 🥀

if they come out with a 4K240/2K480 version then i’d be interested because it means i could avoid Asus

[edgy laurel]

so the problem is its not 4K240

meh, but they probably will have one if they're selling the same panel to asus

[shell void]

yes 165Hz is a massive downgrade from 240Hz, it’s immediately noticeable

and it’s probably an insignificant cost saving

i’m not sure who the target audience is for these nerfed refresh monitors

maybe people who refuse to use framegen and only play demanding games

[edgy laurel]

most people. i'd love it

actually, no.. peasant sized

[shell void]

this is the only somewhat viable usecase

but i’d still say it’s not worth it because you benefit from the refresh rate outside of games

i guess console gamers?

doesn’t make sense for high end pc gamers though

all sorts of weird shit

[bronze mango]

@arctic bronze I recommend removing the foam from hi75 though

It ironically sounds better without the foam

[arctic bronze]

yeah iv seen ppl do it, gives it more flex

[bronze mango]

It is insanely soft to type on without the foam

They ruined it's amazing gasket design with the foam behind it unfortunately

[arctic bronze]

lol

[bronze mango]

So removing that foam makes it amazing

[arctic bronze]

yeah, im gonna prob do it

[bold spruce]

How

[arctic bronze]

go to ur settings, change it to 120fps

[bold spruce]

I did, its at 240fpa

[bronze mango]

I really want to get a neo 80 cu in dark blue, but I'm gonna have to wait some time

[bold spruce]

But im still getting 90

How the fuck is that possible

[bronze mango]

Rn I can't afford to do that

[topaz veldt]

I don't think they have a Neo 80 Cu, just Neo 80

[edgy laurel]

gonna get one of these. if it sounds like that out of the box its fine. i don't have the patience to figure out how to "tune" my GMMK Pro. I overestimated how much I would care about the custom aspect of keyboards. I just want it to be "done" when I buy it.

[bronze mango]

They announced 80 cu

It looks amazing

[topaz veldt]

Thats kind of where I am at - I do the neo build once I feel a switch I like, PBT cap set i like, and then its done. I don't change anything.

[edgy laurel]

i've upgraded the mechnical bits i can't recall the name of that support the spacebar and other larger keys, but they still sound crappy and plasticy

[topaz veldt]

stabs

[edgy laurel]

on something I spent over $300 i'd expect more, but i'm sure its all in tuning

[topaz veldt]

yeah thats why i went w/ Neo shit - its custom and high end enough

[edgy laurel]

and I don't have the interest to learn

[topaz veldt]

Yeah Glorious is not a good value

[bronze mango]

Here are some keyboard sound test I took. I have 2 more I need to find

[topaz veldt]

The Inky75 sounds exactly like my Womier SK71

[arctic bronze]

inky75 sounds like ceramic

[bronze mango]

Inky is really impressive given its price

[topaz veldt]

very marbly

[wraith steeple]

Oh damn..... Yeah TR 9.5 times out of 10 is usually the best place to get it.

[topaz veldt]

I think I will email them

[arctic bronze]

yeah, I really like it

[edgy laurel]

i just want my spacebar to stop rattling

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple I bought like 50 ft of EPDM so I am going to go EPDM on my Intel build. I just want it white.

[edgy laurel]

and sounding cheap

[arctic bronze]

get better stabilizers and lube it

[edgy laurel]

I have what are equivalent of the best you can get for that keyboard, and lube.

little dedicated brush for it and all

[arctic bronze]

whats the switch and keycap?

[bronze mango]

I think my current 3 favorite boards are my modified lucky 65, my stock inky 75, and my modified neo 75cu

[topaz veldt]

I love my neo 65

[edgy laurel]

well any switch, have had 3 sets since i've owned it. all different. glorious Celestial Fire PBT cap, but also had GMK Laser on there

[bronze mango]

Neo is a god send for making premium boards affordable

Before them copper boards were pretty absurd to get your hands on

so I swap the dead ones out with spares

then eventually get fed up and try a whole new set

[bronze mango]

All signaling is done at 120V

[topaz veldt]

that's weird guilty

[edgy laurel]

had the glorious pandas that I bought with it, then akko lavender purples, now these Gazzew Boba U4T's

currently my J key on that board is very intermittently not registering, so its starting again

[arctic bronze]

ok?

we are talkin about keyboards

[arctic bronze]

does that allow for 2 batterys?

[bronze mango]

I don't think the second spot feeds back to the connector

But you wouldn't want to do that anyways

The weight is a bigger aid to the sound than a battery

[arctic bronze]

yeah

[bronze mango]

If I could I'd love to make it dual weight instead of one weight and one battery

[arctic bronze]

whats ur opinion on these? https://a.co/d/eS806Ag

im tryin somethin new with them

[bronze mango]

I don't think they're actually ceramic are they?

[arctic bronze]

no, thats what I thought but its the "style" which is a total bs marketing trick

[bronze mango]

I would say get some cheap pbt dye sub caps off AliExpress tbh

[arctic bronze]

but they still look cool

[arctic bronze]

ill never use aliexpress

I dont trust it at all

[bronze mango]

AliExpress is fine, especially for keycaps.

[arctic bronze]

I just dont like it lol

[bronze mango]

If anything, it's more trustworthy than Amazon now

[arctic bronze]

same for temu

[bronze mango]

Temu is trash

AliExpress is more like a real commerce site

[merry stirrup]

my name is ray cism

[bronze mango]

[merry stirrup]

[bronze mango]

[arctic bronze]

[merry stirrup]

[topaz veldt]

[arctic bronze]

[topaz veldt]

[topaz veldt]

LOL this ... is out of touch

[arctic bronze]

What makes you say that?

[topaz veldt]

F5?

[arctic bronze]

Idk much about different enterprise servers tbf

[topaz veldt]

its not a server its a network device and people have moved on from F5, its kind of like... old iron

[arctic bronze]

Iv done only custom build ones

Ah i see

[whole coral]

Yeahhh that looks old

[topaz veldt]

they still do app security stuff but F5 was biggest like 10 - 15 years ago, its just a funny mention in 2025

[arctic bronze]

What caused them to fall off?

[topaz veldt]

other vendors

Palo Alto, Fortinet

[arctic bronze]

Ah

[arctic bronze]

I have all the free certs for fortinet

[topaz veldt]

F5 is a thing its just not a name you would throw out in that example its kind of funny

[arctic bronze]

My work uses them

[topaz veldt]

Yeah i have some big fortis

[arctic bronze]

I have the 3 low level ones and the associates one

[topaz veldt]

I meant devices

[arctic bronze]

Oh ik, i was continuing on what i said

Fortinet is cool

But man it hates turning off at random

If the power goes out, when it comes back online, it auto blocks everything until you reset it again

[topaz veldt]

lol

I use these

[arctic bronze]

We use similar ones

[topaz veldt]

You don't power these off lol

$750k firewalls rarely go down

[whole coral]

$750K lol.

Lotta money

[arctic bronze]

The power going out turns it off

[pure garnet]

hey it’s on sale

[topaz veldt]

Who has a $750k firewall and power that goes out though?

[brave panther]

mine are much smoler (100f/200f/600f)

[whole coral]

True

[topaz veldt]

yeah 4200f are big dogs

[arctic bronze]

I said similar, not that one lmao

Also, how did you get 3/4 of a million dollar part?

[topaz veldt]

I do inspection on that thing w/ 4 x 100 Gbps WAN

[brave panther]

but i do have dedicated fortimanager appliance which is pretty dope

[arctic bronze]

Thats wild

[whole coral]

4x100 Gbps WAN that’s nice

[topaz veldt]

2 of them for HA Pair 😉

they are not even primary - thats for replication traffic

[whole coral]

Inb4 4x400 Gbps WAN is next

[brave panther]

do you feed data to fortianalyzer?

[topaz veldt]

we have a different SIEM/log aggregation setup

[arctic bronze]

You gotta be makin 10mil a year lmao

[brave panther]

ah so just feeding syslogs to some other system

[topaz veldt]

This is all log retention

[brave panther]

lmao

[topaz veldt]

[arctic bronze]
