Hello

#

I am not sure if I am in the right chat or not. I am looking for help regarding product selection.

kindred yacht
#

What were you looking to buy?

nova kayak
#

I am looking for a fanless mini computer that I can install VPN client software on so that I can access our BMS system on remote job sites that do not have a VPN router or IT personnel.

kindred yacht
#

Sounds like you want a NUC

nova kayak
#

I do not know what that is but willing to learn!

kindred yacht
amber idol
#

These NUC kits usually don't come with RAM or storage, just a reminder.

kindred yacht
#

Yeah the one I linked is a barebones kit, there's some that come with everything

nova kayak
#

Well that looks interesting but a bit pricy for the application. The situation is I can view the webpage (managed from the BMS computer) on site but I just need a device that I can VPN through to access it. Nothing will be stored on it but the operating system and the VPN software. Basically it would just be on the network sitting 24/7 unless something goes wrong with the system and I need to look into the BMS that host the webpage. It would be just web brousing remotely.

#

This looks nice for our office.

kindred yacht
nova kayak
#

Okay this also does not have an operating system correct?

amber idol
#

Correct

nova kayak
#

Okay better off with the one that you picked then. I have seen on the site the fan less units with the external heatsink. Does this have a fan? I ask because it will reside in a dusty environment.

kindred yacht
#

Yeah I've seen those too, where the case IS the heatsink
The ones I linked don't have fans

amber idol
#

A review says it does not have a fan.

kindred yacht
#

You can always save some money and just use a Linux OS

nova kayak
#

Okay great! Looks like it will do the trick then. Thank you.

#

I will have to look into Linux OS. I never used it only heard of it.

kindred yacht
#

It comes in a lot of different "flavors". I like Mint, Ubuntu is decent for beginners.
They install the same way as Windows does with automated installers. The only trick might be drivers, but with such a simple system it wouldn't be a big deal.

nova kayak

so im trying to motherboard test to see if i get a signal. i have my cpu, the fan, and ram on it already. i heard you didnt need to connect my gpu just yet to test but when i do test im not getting any signal. ps i have a ryzen 5 1600

amber idol
#

You need a GPU for a display

#

It most likely wont POST without a GPU

bronze kernel
#

wow ok

#

thanks man

#

or maam

dry sentinel
#

some motherboards can post to bios without gpu tho

#

altho it is a bit rare

kindred yacht
#

Yeah... but without a processor with an iGPU you won't be able to see anything anyway

dry sentinel
#

true so no point

#

it doesnt take that long to put in a gpu anyways

kindred yacht
#

Just don't forget the power cables like I did that one time (ok two times)

dry sentinel
#

dont forget that you shouldnt spill a gallon of milk in ur pc

kindred yacht
#

Luckily new GPUs can put a message on the screen that says something to the effect of "uh, I don't have power, did you forget something?"

muted pine
#

would it be safe to store my built pc in the box my case came in? i dont want to worry about static discharge while its not being used

kindred yacht
#

That's what I always do when I'm moving. The Styrofoam shell it comes in is plenty of protection. Static isn't much of a concern, but if you're paranoid get a cheap anti static bag.
I'd remove the GPU to avoid sag but that's it.

muted pine
#

thats the thing lol, there is no gpu yet

#

thats why im packing it up for now

I'm looking for a new WiFi adapter for my Mini ITX computer, the one it has now is this one

#

this is mSATA right? So in theory i can just use any MSATA WiFI/Bluetooth card?

#

Also, different question:
I need to add some Powerline adapters to my room, because the router is downstairs and I can't stand using the crappy WiFI adapter I have in my main PC right now (not the PC im talking about above). I'd need 2 ports in my room, and then one downstairs near the router. Is it possible to link the two ones in my room to the single one downstairs?

calm mural
#

i think so

#

i used a wifi extender and i used wps

#

and it connected

#

then i just connected an ethernet cable

#

Stupid question, how do I get a proper ethernet connection without drilling a hole or two or running it across the house?

green stream
#

normal cross home lines are in the walls, if you cant drill holes and feed it through and the router isnt too far away you can try a powerline adapter

kindred yacht
old moss
#

fuse box?

kindred yacht
#

Did not mean to reply that to you vic. But a powerline adapter kit will work for you too.

hearty oxide
#

I think I tried that and it didn't work. Then again I probably did something wrong

#

Because my room is sorta far from the router

#

Also nice name @kindred yacht

kindred yacht
#

Distance doesn't matter much, but could add latency.
Thanks, always nice when someone recognizes the game

hearty oxide
#

Hmmm

kindred yacht
#

A common mistake people might make is assuming the kit is completely plug and play and they forget to sync the boxes

hearty oxide
#

That's probably it

old moss
kindred yacht
#

Sounds like the usb is overheating
I run torrents at a stable speed through my powerline, not much will stress it more.

#

@old moss If your house is less than 12 rooms and hasn't had any additions made like an attached garage converted into a office, then you likely don't need to worry about that.

old moss
#

mm, he fise box is that metal box with all the switches right

#

like, with the breakers right/

kindred yacht
#

Yeah it's also called a breaker box

old moss
#

oh, i think i actually might have two of those

#

lemme see

#

so turns out i do have two @kindred yacht

kindred yacht
#

Ok, what rooms? Typically they'll have the switches labeled on the inside what each controls.
As long as the router room and destination room are on the same box, it'll work.

old moss
#

lemme see again, lol

#

just gotta see if the office one is on the same box as this room's one

old moss
#

so, @kindred yacht, theyre on different boxes

kindred yacht
#

Ah tough break. No way to avoid running a wire unless you want to do hybrid powerline/wireless but that's just a bad idea

Anyone out there that would be willing to help me find a good Wired Router. My skills in networking are somewhat beginner, but my home is already wired with CAT-5 and I would like a non-wireless router to do most of the work. Need/want 24 ports and gigabit or better. Any ideas?

void pawn
#

Hmmmm

#

is this strictly internal network?

#

Or does it need to go out to the internet as well>?

empty ridge
#

Well.... thats where my skills are beginner. I am thinking.... from the modem to the wired router.... then from the wired router to computers and a wireless router/access point thingy... lol

kindred yacht
#

24 ports is getting into business grade prices. It would probably be better to get a 10 Gb router with a couple ports and a switch with the 24 ports you want.

void pawn
#

If you already have a modem with a gigabit port

#

I'd recommend a switch

#

Because no matter how many gigabit lines you have, the internet connection speed will always be the bottle neck

empty ridge
#

okay, I think I see. So I should get a wired router (small like). And also a 24 port switch?

#

Any suggestions on a high grade 10Gb router?

void pawn
#

What is the purpose of this network though?

#

Sharing large files or just general connectivity?

empty ridge
#

umm..... I just want it to be high quality. Its for me and my tech kids. Games at the moment, but I want their to be mass storage for all of to share. I'm currently not worried about any bottle necks.

void pawn
empty ridge
#

Any routers as well? And just so you know, these questions might be irrelevant to my wants/issues.

void pawn
#

Looking

#

You said something about WiFi too so looking for a good WiFi/Router combo

empty ridge
#

I am thinking of letting a none wireless device to do the routing. Hoping to just find a beafier solution to all the pressure on the current wireless router we have. Let me have a look at what you linked

void pawn
#

Hmmmm, so a multi port router with no WiFi

empty ridge
#

But I find that its either buggy, or over heats. Not sure thought at the moment.

#

And I will still need WiFi, I would like it to not route.... if thats a thing.

#

like... have the traffic flow through the wired router.

void pawn
#

Well

#

That will happen if no one is connected to the WiFi

empty ridge
#

hope that makes some sense. lol

void pawn
#

I get what you're saying

#

SO you want a WAP instead of a WiFI router

empty ridge
#

I believe so. I have never installed one, so I don't know what they are like.

#

and that would mean, the wired router would need to control its traffic.

void pawn
empty ridge
#

And then 1 cable from the router to the switch.... yea?

#

Just want to make sure hehe

Not sure if thats what I need. Looks like it might be a little bit out of my skill range.

kindred yacht
#

I like me a good Cisco unit
Most switches are just plug and play if you don't need special configs like vlans

#

That's a rack mount though, so you can either get a small server rack or build a custom mount for it. It's easy enough to build one.
You could let it sit on a table like a simp but that's an insult to hardware

empty ridge
#

We shall see. Either way, thank you all so much for the help!

kindred yacht
#

Make sure you label your Ethernet cables. You'll thank me later.

rocky creek
#

@empty ridge just grab a unifi switch theyre pretty beginner friendly

#

and grab some of their access points too

#

and ur set

empty ridge
#

I'll search it out, thanks!

rocky creek
#

currently my lab runs on unifi and Dell

#

and yes do what @kindred yacht said and label the ports

although you can also label ports in the unifi management UI

I mean there's actually somewhat concerning things about discord

#

but that ain't one of em

kindred yacht
#

Not a lot they can do with an IP address unless they're just DDOS'ing people for no reason. Most home addresses are NAT translated by the ISP so hard to connect directly to.

amber idol
#

Discord is made in a way so you can't get an IP directly from it.

#

See how it says "personal computers" also, that's a local IP which is useless to anyone across the internet.

rocky creek

yeah discord is sus as hell

Hello all! Looking for something that maybe one of you fine folks might know a path I can check. I'm looking for a head-mounted device that can act as a POV Camera for video calls that connects via wifi or cell signal. The purpose is to remotely view a technician's POV to help support a product. The on-site technician does not have to see the remote supporter's face.

tribal scarab
#

go pro

#

you can mount on a helmet, and connect it to your phone

#

to have a view of the camera

#

@earnest elbow

earnest elbow
#

How do you integrate that for the video call?

#

Like, can it be used as the webcam for a zoom/webex?

fallen lava
#

idk much about go pro's but i think that there's a media mod for them that allows you to have a hdmi out and you can use that and plug it into a capture card device like https://www.amazon.com/eyesen-Camcorder-Facebook-Recorder-Broadcasting/dp/B08DTDSJYP/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=capture+card&qid=1613059920&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=A3GAZZ1LHIY6RQ&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE2NFlKSUE2M1pEWDcmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzNDc1MjkzVTlMWVowNlBRM1E0JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5MzAyNjEyUDdRUFY1S1A3SjlCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

earnest elbow
#

I thought of that method, was worried about the complexity on-site for setup and needing a computer there to take the input

#

And the wire tether

kindred yacht
#

Smartphone app, boom done
Bonus points if it works on older phones

fallen lava
#

^

earnest elbow
#

So basically what you're saying is that I could setup something a bit cumbersome, or pay to get an app developed to take one of the wifi cams and use it as a live view webcam

#

Anyone know of a smart glasses option for this?

kindred yacht
#

You mean like the Google Glass things?

#

Those get pricy, like tens of thousands each

#

Just modify a gopro head mount with a smartphone clamp to hold it

#

You don't even technically need a custom app, there's plenty of video call apps that work beautifully for business needs

earnest elbow
#

True

#

You have valid points

#

I think Google Glass Enterprise 2 is like 1300, but I don't know what kind of software is actually available for that

kindred yacht
#

In theory they could run any Android app

#

In theory

earnest elbow
#

So it's Possible, and I use Possible loosely, I could even run just the standard Google Duo app on that?

kindred yacht
#

Yeah I'm pretty sure the default gapps are installed out of the box, but never owned one of those myself.
Duo is nice for what it is, but far from the best.

earnest elbow
#

100% agree

#

Something tells me I wouldn't know what I'd be getting with those unless I was to just try a set....

#

Information is kinda lacking

kindred yacht
#

The Glass Enterprise 2 runs android 8.1, but it's free to send an inquiry for more info

earnest elbow
#

Eh, I'll get a set and try it. I'll let you know how that turns out, thanks for talking it out.

kindred yacht
#

No problem.
There's always multiple ways to solve a problem, and yes it does help getting another viewpoint

Hi for gaming is it worth it to pay more for a 1440p 144hz monitor? My other option is just 1080p 144hz.

What card?

Ah, I had that card

It's worth

With Ray Tracing performance is oof

Ok thanks, I think I want a 144hz 1440p ips monitor now lol

void pawn

Yes!

hollow obsidian
#

Ips is the best right

void pawn

Honestly, I have a VA and IPS sided by side

hollow obsidian
#

Good viewing angles and colors

void pawn

IPS has better color accuracy

Ok cool

#

I'd love to get a M27q, it's just an amazing panel, and I could compare my 1080p144 va panel to a 1440p170 ips panel

sinful spruce
#

aside from the fact that if you set the response time on extreme you experience ghosting the monitor is pretty good

void pawn
#

really? I have a dell VA and dont experience ghosting

#

2417 IIRC

sinful spruce
#

ghosting as in on extreme response time when you move at least in csgo the screen becomes whiter

void pawn
#

Yeah, my Dell is at 165hz and I don't have ghosting. I think I got lucky with mine

sinful spruce
#

question are we referring to the same ghosting thing?

void pawn
#

Yes

sturdy jolt
#

@void pawn they're also saying ghosting only if response time set on extreme, maybe try that for you?

void pawn
#

Mine is on extreme, 165hz

#

144 is rated, 165 is "overclocked"

sturdy jolt
#

nice

void pawn
#

Ye, I don't play CS:GO but in all my other games I don't have issues

#

i seriously think I got lucky because I've seen a lot of people complain about ghosting and Dell monitors

sinful spruce
#

what games do you play?

void pawn
#

Saints Row IV right now, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ark, Conan, Cyberpunk, all over the board lol

sinful spruce
#

also it might be because of my drivers that i get ghosting

#

yeah on saint row 4 on extreme if i move i can see a white outline around npc

#

even moving the camera

void pawn
#

Hmmm, I'll pay attention next time I play

#

But I haven't noticed it so far

sinful spruce
#

are you using any preset?

void pawn
#

Ultra or whatever the highest setting is

sinful spruce
#

preset from the monitor

#

mine has presets for fps, moba, sports games

#

in the monitor settings

void pawn
#

Oh, IDK, lemme check

#

Fast response, custom color profile

sinful spruce
#

when you can fire up a game and set the response time on extreme

#

if you can manage to get your hands on another monitor with ghosting it might be easier to see the diferences

void pawn
#

It might ghost on extreme TBH also

green stream
#

try one under the fastest setting for response

#

if the monitor has overdrive it can cause artifacting

void pawn
#

Ye, maybe that's why I don't have issues

Why does the rgb on my computer not boot up when it does I have to go into mystic light to apply it

kindred yacht
#

If that only happens occasionally, then it's probably just a BIOS hiccup. Pretty common problem. Sometimes mine will get stuck on red until I reboot it.

He’s not talking about boot lights

He is talking about system RGB

That's what I said

fierce hull

Looked like you were talking about boot lights

It never stops on a specific color for me

Just goes rainbow

kindred yacht
#

The default for the MSI mystic light is red so it turns on red and doesn't change when the OS starts to load like it's supposed to occasionally
I think it was ASUS that defaults to rainbow? Or Gigabyte
TL;DR Just a BIOS hiccup

This is amazing. I can't thank you enough.

simple sierra
#

If you bought this I would recommend buying a 16 gb kit of ram, and possibly a 500gb sata ssd for some extra ssd storage

cloud comet
#

will do.

#

thank you again

simple sierra
cloud comet
#

@simple sierra sorry...had to take a call. Yes - recommendation for a ram kit and ssd would be great.

#

i was going to try and get 16GB ram

simple sierra
cloud comet
#

not ordered RAM in a long time...do I just open the computer up and see what will fit before ordering?

#

I'm at a University so our IT department took over all of that

#

so that computer has 2 slots. looks like i just buy new ram and replace what is in there

kindred yacht
#

If you wanted to be extra sure, take out one of the RAM sticks and post what it says on the sticker

#

That way you know exactly what kind is compatible

simple sierra
cloud comet
#

this is from the HP site...

#

Here is the information: Memory upgrade information Dual channel memory architecture (One DIMM per channel) Two DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets Supports up to PC4-23400 (DDR4-2933) Supports 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 UDIMMs Supports up to 32 GB (unbuffered) with two 16 GB DIMMs on 64-bit systems

kindred yacht
#

Ah so yes you can just order new DDR4 and swap them out

cloud comet
#

as far as the drive...also from HP site

#

Yes you can install a 3.5" drive in the computer. It has a sata drive connection cable in the system for this.

#

Thanks for information on the swap out

I am getting crucial ballistix 3600MHZ 32 (2 of the 16)

#

Thank you again. Tried contacting Dell and Newegg for support and they had nothing compared to you

simple sierra
cloud comet
#

have not ordered.

#

ill check that now

simple sierra
#

Here is the 1tb version for the ssd, most likely you won’t need that much unless you are going to be storing movies, or have other large files so you could get less if you want

cloud comet
#

great.

#

having the over clocked ram won't hurt, right? price of the 2666MHZ is same as 3600mhz

simple sierra
#

No it won’t hurt

#

The side panel isn’t transparent right?

cloud comet
#

just found the 3000 mhz. It's $20 less

simple sierra
#

The red version is 77 bucks

#

Possibly cheaper than the grey

cloud comet
#

do you have a link?

#

i was going to go with the 32GB, not 16

#

with computer and ssd i'm still under 1000 with the 32 gb

#

or close enough

simple sierra
#

Internet browsing won’t need 32gb

#

But you could get 32 for future proofing

cloud comet
#

was talking with my wife and we may allow our son to get on to do a little gaming. He is just about to hit the age where he needs a starter

#

he can buy a high end once he gets a job and saves a bit. haha

#

How old is he?

cloud comet
#

#

Thanks again.

simple sierra
# cloud comet Thanks again.

I actually just found this deal on a computer that’s very similar but with a slight graphics card boost for cheaper

cloud comet
#

do tell...

simple sierra
#

530 with the code listed on that website

cloud comet
#

same memory and ssd?

simple sierra
#

Yep

#

This one has 1 stick in it but you could take it out and put two in

shadow umbra
#

anyone have experience in simple dc motors, and is this the place to ask?

amber idol
#

Which type

void pawn
#

the simplest DC motor ever is 2 pieces of thick wire and an AA battery and amagnet

amber idol
#

I only have experience with Andymark and VEX motors

shadow umbra
#

I need a quiet motor to steadily rotate a cylinder at around 5-10 rpm. The purpose is to slowly pull a long strip of paper into a spool, likely around the diameter of a soda can. The weight of the paper itself is negligible

#

now that I think about it, it doesn't necessarily need to be DC, those are just the options I was looking at

void pawn
#

5-10 RPM is slow

#

You'll need some kind of a reduction, either planetary or gears

shadow umbra
#

Hmm. I'm not sure how best to approach that.

void pawn
#

Im' trying to find some options

#

Problem with electric motors like that at low speed is they are jerky

#

So you need to run the motor more quickly with a reduction mechanism

shadow umbra
void pawn
#

There's no amperage rating on that

#

Typically th ebig brushed motors like that take some power to move.

#

I was thinking you were going to use some kind of an Arduino like device to control it and was looking at brushless motors but if you need straight DC from a battery that's a different animal

#

You could get an RC Car 11.4 volt lithium pack for the 12 volts

#

Keep it lightweight

amber idol
#

planetary gearbox is the best bet for getting a good slowness

void pawn
#

Yes

@pallid iris there is no real reason to go with the xps 15 7590 at 1400$ when other newer laptops, although 'gaming', that perform better for cheaper exists. Unless you have something very specific?

So im looking at the laptops I was recommended yesterday for doing 3d work on the go.
THINKPAD P17 MOBILE WORKSTATION
and
XOTIC G170KM-G (X170KM-G)

So im trying to stay within or around 3,500. When I get ether of these lapops to around that price, it seems like I can build an alienware with similar specs for cheaper unless im not understanding something right. Whats the best I can get for Around 3k (3.5 max)

Things it must have is a 500gb os drive and a 1tb storage drive.

Alienware bad

Cooling sucks

And RAM speeds

Mmm, I think they add the bands together to get that number, let me check

#

IE, 600 mbps on 2.4 and then 1600 on 5ghz but not sure

#

SOme do some don't

#

Nope

#

The AC2200 rating keeps it from being top of its class, but its speeds were very impressive, maxing out at 116Mbps on 2.4GHz and 655Mbps on 5GHz.

#

Look for WiFi AX or WiFi 6 if you want fast speeds

#

That's WiFI 6

wifi speeds dont matter as much as ethernet speeds

cheapest i could find including the type cover and pen with the i5 128gb 8gb model

doesnt seem too steep, but definitely not cheap

its a good deal compared to an ipad air which comes with half the storage, no facial recognition, and all the limitations of not having windows obviously

#

and costs more

cobalt tree
#

samsung's tab s7 or whatever seems pretty nice

#

its like the only ipad pro alternative that im aware of

weary pasture
#

the surface seems the best equipped to turn into a laptop

#

and ipad pro too expensive

#

ipad and samsung tab are better for dedicated tablet

#

surface is much much better for laptop experience, not as good at tablet

cobalt tree
#

yea, i wouldnt use one without a laptop or computer around

weary pasture
#

yeah

#

surface has usb a + usb c

#

webcam is worse but in a better spot for video calls in landscape mode

#

type cover is probably better than smart keyboard

cobalt tree

i remember one of my old teachers had a surface, and being able to detach it and walk around with a pen and tablet was super cool

weary pasture

type cover has a row of function keys for brightness/vol/media, magic keyboard does not

yeah

#

surface pen also has an eraser side so you dont need to switch to the eraser tool

that doesnt have a detachable keyboard

rocky creek

its cooler

weary pasture
#

its not the same kind of product as the surface

rocky creek

it does if you pull hard enough

#

i prefer it because its nicer than the surface in terms of upgradability and maintenance

#

i feel like itd last close to forever

#

and 3:2 screen as well

#

also will probs throttle much less

#

wait lol the surface laptop is like 800 for an i5, 8gb ram, and 256gb ssd?

#

the 600 is for 4gb ram and 64gb storage

#

probs means it uses emmc or something

cobalt tree
#

lowkey might give my laptop to my sister and upgrade

Even better

timid star
#

Yes but do I not need to use all slots?

void pawn
#

Nope

#

2 is fine

timid star
#

Here is another silly question can I use all slots by using two of mine and two of the new?

#

Thanks I guess that means no, any order in which they should go in , as not using all slots do i just put in the first two slots and that is it?

void pawn
#

Well, you can but it will all run at the slowest speed

#

And sometimes mixing ram causes issues

timid star
#

and Order of installing?

void pawn
#

It SHOULDN'T be an issue

#

CPu only supports 1333 anyway

#

Need to check motherboard as to which slots to use with 2 sticks to make sure it's in Dual Channel mode

Out of the literal 750 games in my steam library, steam only reports about 30 as being Linux native, and those are mostly indie games.

Oh, plus minecraft. That's not in my steam library

@sturdy jolt hi whats up? what snapdragon 888 phone is the best

sturdy jolt
#

dunno

coarse ice
#

🤔

sturdy jolt
#

Don't look at phones

coarse ice
#

xiaomi redmi k40 pro plus

#

looks good

coarse ice
sturdy jolt
#

I don't look at phones

coarse ice
#

so how do you choose phones

#

i dont buy expensive phones like s series & iphone

sturdy jolt
#

I got a Pixel 4 for ~500$ iirc, but I just get whatever looks nice specs wise, I don't care for the best specs since I don't exactly game too much on my phone

coarse ice
#

pixels are so expensive comparing to performance

#

prince performance

#

k40 pro + has s888 12gb ram 108mp 32bit 384khz 4520mah battery etc

coarse ice
sturdy jolt
#

@coarse ice problem is, I got this phone a year ago, AND I have no use for the extra performance

#

So...

#

Pixel Xa are usually pretty good though

#

also, I thought 108mp sounded high, @coarse ice looks like 64MP rear camera, 6/8GB ram, on s888

coarse ice
sturdy jolt
#

oh the pro plus, it's not even out yet lol

coarse ice
#

reviews are out

#

unboxings

#

Ye, ofc tech gets better over time, thought we were talking about past products

#

#

Phones should keep improving

#

do you really need the most powerful phone for your money?

#

if you spend more than like 300 on a cellphone you have issues

#

at least thats my opinion

#

or you have money to burn

running apps so fast, battery life & camera is very important for me
