Thanks. Have done some googling and just found out that subwoofers are extremely expensive in my country (New Zealand). E.g. subs that are $600 in the US are equivalent of $1,100 here. But then I see that DIY subs are a thing. Might look into that because I do have woodworking equipment, import the electronics and buy the MDF locally.

Didn't really consider HDR and brightness. Lots to think about.

Does the .1 really make a difference? I've been running 5.0 for a few years (Micca) and 1080p dumb TV from 2015 (I don't care for 4k) connected to a 2019 shield pro and my Unraid server. Been happy with the sound quality.

So more of a "cattle" than "pet" approach in general?

This is my favourite comment. I laughed out loud. Thank you.

The article honestly reads like it was written by an AI tool.

Get a static ip if at all possible. The work arounds with a dynamic IP are simply not as good. Or if your ISP and router fully support IPv6 you could alternatively go down that route.

This is one of those things I didn't know I needed. I have so many usb sticks lying around with various troubleshooting isos. This is a game changer.

Thanks I'll keep on eye out on the quadro cards. Hadn't heard of grays online auctions. Cheers.

How does that work exactly? Do you partition the USB drive and make Ventoy bootable in one partition and then put the isos on the other partition or something?

Yeah looks like I'll be waiting for a sale and buying new.

Is it just me or are second hand PCs and second hand PC components super expensive in NZ? You read about people in Europe and the US getting things like 8th gen intel old Dell OptiPlex ex-lease PCs for <$100 (2017 tech). Meanwhile sticking with the same example, you struggle to find an 8th gen intel CPU (without other components) for less than $300 on trademe and marketplace, and complete systems are like $500+ for 6 year old tech.

I want to upgrade my Plex server CPU from 4th to minimum 8th gen so I can properly transcode h265 video using the modern QuickSync version. I just need a new CPU and motherboard and it seems like I can buy new 12th or 13th gen for similar money as 8th gen second hand.

Preemptive reply to AMD comments. I run AMD on my gaming rig. But AMD don't support QuickSync.

 

Why do most people seem to go with subscription accounts? I've used block accounts for a few years and only have to buy more every 1-2 years. Is there some kind of benefit I'm missing?

 

How important is it to have something like coreboot for your firmware/BIOS on your router? I run pfsense on a mini PC router from aliexpress that has an Intel n100 cpu in it, so I guess the bios is intel as well. I self host a few things on an unraid machine, some apps are exposed to the internet through cloudflare tunnels.
