Hi all, been a while since I've been around. Too much happening professionally, and not really at a breaking point yet, but this has been bugging me for a while. There are colliding time signatures in this, right? Or is it simpler than my brain is trying to make it?

I'm pretty sure the issue is with the delivery company themselves. I've been getting a lot of "undeliverable" stuff lately, from B&H and other places as well. It is true that Amazon is the only one that proactively sends a message (the others just arrive late without notice) unless you actively...

DJI's new products are one step away from preventing this kind of thing, but that hardly matters. Homebrew stuff is really easy to build and operate. Honestly, calling this a "drone" issue is misleading. This could have been done with RC airplanes decades ago. This is people doing stupid and...

We've considered it, but probably won't be able to until a few older members of management retire. Next couple years ;)

I have one in a drawer. The only place I deployed it properly was when I was very active in the bitcoin stuff. Google Authenticator is just so much easier for most things, and adds at least 50% of the security? @LunarMist: It doesn't make logging into stuff easier, instead it makes your...

Surprised to see them listed in up to 50' lengths. Normally stuff that fast has much shorter maximum runs.

That seems a reasonable conclusion, particularly with encryption running. With it only connected to a single computer, I'd be tempted to look into a disk enclosure that uses some other more direct interface to the PC (so it can use your (likely very fast) computer to do a lot of the work)...

I've got one. Pre-ordered the 512GB (mainly for the extra ram) and have been using it since the day it released. Quite happy with it; even tested the weather sealing by forgetting it in my shorts while sailing a catamaran in southern mexico. I only use the stylus as a camera shutter remote, and...

http://prntscr.com/lntwry Getting there. Exact alignment of the monitors will need to wait until I get some help. But in case anyone was wondering, yes, you can drive a pair of 5120 x 2160 @ 60hz panels off a single 2080ti. Keep your gaming to just one of them, though. 22m pixels is too much...

Where are you seeing a bottleneck? Replication?

I'm not sure there is enough tech advancement in NAS to warrant new units? 10GbE, SSD caching, RAM upgrades....the rest is really just software, and they have been making progress on that. Their sync to NAS and sync to cloud stuff has gotten better within just the last 3 months.

This is a Samsung 860 Evo 2TB in a Silverstone MS09 USB3 thumbdrive enclosure.

If you are willing to pay for a domain and have someone competent manage it for you (I'd recommend Google), you can do neat things. I have all addresses at the domain (ddrueding.com) delivered to my inbox. Every time I need to enter and address somewhere I give them a unique address. This way...

Just the number of windows that need to be active. Each one has a minimum number of pixels it can take up, and I needed more of them.

I've been switching over to pfSense. Great feature set, open source, and hardware at every price point. You can even run it on your own hardware or VM, but take a look at this: https://store.netgate.com/SG-1000.aspx

A part of my job is monitoring stuff, that will be on the top screen. Keep in mind each one of these screens is 5120 x 2160 pixels, and 34" diagonal, so "really short" probably isn't the right description.

Lunar, I set my keyboard on it on my desk. That way I don't have to look up while I hunt and peck. This is why I needed such a large screen. I kid, of course. I bought two, one works and is in use. But the setup looks kinda sad with that spare VESA mount sitting unused...

So not everything was awesome about today. That $1500 monitor I waited over 2 months for? One of them had a rough ride. At least the other survived and I'm typing on it now. http://prntscr.com/lgjzz9

I know several. Usually a precursor to the next generation being a "III".

I don't try to use the warranty stuff. The scrubbed sidewalls are a sure giveaway that I've been abusing them.

15,000 is about right for me. In theory that is less than they advertise, but I know I am using them outside of spec.

I'm willing to spend a lot, but there are limits. I know people to daily on 100 treadwear track tires (R888R for example) for the extra edge, and that is crazy.

...and still no PoE. If there was something appropriate I'd be there by now.

Way late? I had to Google it. And it looks like a nightmare to clean.

I have several Arduino Yun Rev 2 boards coming for a different project, should be here Monday. Could do a poe breakout, but don't need it for this application.

I've been looking for a good PoE (802.3af) Arduino for similar things. I prefer wired, and not having individual bricks to stuff. Other than that I would also be interested in your progress.

As mentioned about 5 posts up, it doesn't need to be bigger. Having the open space below helps me feed cooler air to the GPU, which helps the oc.

About halfway done with the cable management, but performance wise I think I'm done. Bad picture from my phone below: http://prntscr.com/l87c9u

I disable it as much as possible. Though in Win10 they don't let you disable it entirely (which is absurd).

The vertical needs to be at least 2k pixels. What is this, 2016?

I really don't want a full sized reciever in my office. The volume knob on the daskeyboard works fine. The rest would be nice, but I don't need an amp, either. Something the size of a paperback would be ideal.

Rough volume control is on the speakers and sub. Fine tuning is on the PC itself. No proper crossover; I let the monitors handle whatever they want and adjusted the sub to fill in where I thought it needed it.

I've always built crazy machines and shown them around. Here is one I showed here a while ago, "The Coffin". Some of them have been more crazy, or specific to some random industry need. This has led to individuals asking for either an exact copy of something I've already built, or having me...

If the 9900k was out I would have used it. I plan to use Silicon Lottery going forward for CPUs, seems like a nice service. All the other components were ordered and systems built well in advance, so I could ship completed units as quickly as possible once the 2080tis showed up. Full build spec...

I use a Schiit Modi 2. Happy enough with it. Dead silent when not playing audio. Looks like they have a new version. https://hometheaterhifi.com/blogs/schiit-modi-2-desktop-dac-review/

From what I can tell, everyone above me is LN2 or other crazy things. I'm still above ambient as it is my daily. I've considered sub-zero for a daily, but there are complications. Now that I do a fair amount of these builds, and my clients want more, I might just do it.

Agreed on all that. I use Synology units with 10GbE Ethernet. SSD really only makes sense when there is a queue of IOs. For single user stuff it isn't necessary. The 10GbE, though, is bad-ass. My current home unit is a Synology DS1817+ with the RAM maxed out and a 2x 10GbE card in it. One of...

Completely random, but I was just reflecting on the comment Tannin left about monitors. Buying his used 20D was the first bit of international buying/selling I ever participated in. I just shipped 3 systems spec'ed the same as my "Work1" PC, including one to Australia (near Melbourne). Times...

I have the Adam A8X within 18" of each ear, with a 12" sub at my feet. The sound is incredible. I'm particularly impressed with the sound at very low volume levels; they can be as quiet as I can hear without any change of tone. Of course, they can also blast out the entire room if you like with...

I did all the research to install myself, picked all the parts, priced it out, etc. It wasn't until I looked into the permits required that I caved and hired an installer. Look into that part before you start buying. One of the permits comes from the local power company, and they were famous for...

New rig is built, spec is in my sig under "Work1" now. Currently scores as the 46th fastest machine globally in the superposition benchmark, and in the top 2% for 3dMark. It is damn fast.

Yup. There was a time when I'd say that I'm glad I work for a company too small to be the target of such things. But we were recently the target of a legit hack. I can't go into details beyond that we contacted the FBI and that there was someone from the outside who managed to escalate to admin...

Despite my wife being a doctor, I've never been particularly confident in the consistency of their end-product. At some point I'll be in a position where I can take the multiple weeks off to have work done, but currently on a 7-day vacation in Mexico and won't have more time for quite a while.

8.11 for workgroups.

The carpal tunnel thing is probably also worth addressing at some point. The pain is now continuous.

I always thought the 100-400 was the big lens for people who had limited funds (that's why I bought it). Any of the big fast primes are for corps or crazies.

I've found the OS portion second only to coaster in terms of functionality.

I haven't ridden the bike in 4 years, and I've gained about 75 pounds since being a parent. At some point I'll do something about that.

I have a large backlog of medical work, and am considering doing the medical tourism thing. A friend runs an operation in Romania and brings in Swiss doctors and French nurses. The full list could include: Full set of dental implants Laser eye correction Knee replacement Something with my...

And with Windows having native support for partitioning the screen (keyboard shortcuts: Win+arrow keys). It is a really nice experience.
