Yup, about once every couple months. Coordinate with some old friends and game all night. It used to be in person, but now we have families and live all over the place. Gaming from work keeps me from waking the family, plus the internet connection is better. A bottle of wine and about 600ml of...

Playing Rainbow 6: Siege while drinking too much scotch. Still haven't left the office and it is 2AM.

30Hz is fine for anything but gaming. My first 4k display was 30Hz, and I appreciated the pixels more than the refresh.

I have nothing but a browser and some background services running right now. All 12 cores are 5-10% used.

I occasionally work as well. But I have a 4-year old, and a small house. If I want actual time to myself, I need to leave.

I've been playing a lot of Eve Online, Kerbal Space Program, World of Warships, and Civilization V lately. A single 1080TI should be able to do 4k@120 on those with some settings dialed back. And this is my work computer, but I play games here as well. Right now it is 8:30PM and I'm at work...

Also, no RGB, no window, no stickers. But absurdly fast. This is in preparation for 4k@144.

^Final OC was 5.1Ghz with all 6 cores, 5.5Ghz with just 2.

Not much time for tinkering, but I do still really enjoy significant builds. Here is my new rig:

Lunar, be sure to have it set up as firmly as possible. My grandmother made her wishes known to me for years, but her mental faculties faded with her health, and by the time it was time she was in full fear/denial mode and there was nothing I could do. There were two years at the end that I'm...

Sorry, Lunar. 80 still seems pretty good from here.

They have the tall skinny cans (8oz) and the tall not-skinny cans (16oz). I still just drink regular diet.

I hadn't. And probably don't care enough to switch immediately, but like that other similar platforms exist that we could switch to if needed. Thanks!

Agree on the SFP+, multi-interface cards are cheap enough that with small installs you can bridge between devices and skip switches altogether if you like.

At the moment I'm driving the HD650 with a Zoom UAC-2.

We've recently expanded to include Slack, but I'm concerned about being tied to a single vendor's product and not having adequate backups of the data.

HD650

But only $80 more ($220 vs $300) and IMO the Sennheiser sounds better.

The quality on my HE400i did dissapoint. The cables developed static when moving within a month and the foam earcup came off within 6 months of daily use. The sound is great, but I'll be going back to Sennheiser next time I buy.

I try to get one screw through some hole somewhere, but double-sided tape is fine. If the case isn't going to move, I've had them dangling for years without issue ;) Of course, the proper solution is to M.2 and not worry about cables/mounting at all.

Entire event scrubbed. Still exploring, but the project does not have any priority. Quite a bit of the equipment was purchased, so low-level tinkering will continue.

Who else is looking forward to going to work on the 25th?

I was doing full-on ASIC mining, about 8kw worth ;) Sold the hardware when it was still worth something. At the time new generations of hardware were coming fast.

I don't imagine I'm the only one that always does a bit of research and has the options front of mind. For the last few months the car hasn't been registered, so I knew it would be time soon. The three options I had on my short list were a lightly-used 2017 S3 for $41k, a moderately used 2015...

I stopped mining quite a while ago, though I still hold a fair amount.

Whelp, the A3 was cited for no reg (can't be registered in CA). I've now registered for non-operation, and it is for sale if anyone is interested. New car is a '16 VW GTI Autobahn with DSG and an APR Stage 1 ECU and TCU tune. Yes, all this happened today.

This is storageforum.net: "SF". Before this place existed, many of us were members of another place; storagereview.com "SR". This is what Lunar was talking about.

Once there are 4k (either flavor) at 120hz, I'll be getting 6 (two per machine) and whatever GPUs are required. I don't think I'll bother with an upgrade before then.

I was 15 when I joined SR. I'm 37 now ;)

Still pretty happy with my 2x 1080 until I can get better than 60hz @ 4k or next-gen VR headsets come out.

Congrats! My 9-year was on the 4th.

For parts it looks like about $20k, the labor is a bit of a question. I'm fortunate enough to have friends who are retired professional fabricators and race car engineers, who have the facilities, tools, and skills to do that part of the job well and for beer money. The electrical is pretty...

Still working on convincing the Mrs, but it is looking good so far. At the moment I'm just wondering if the controller supports dual-motor operation; the suspension/chassis seems to have room for one front and rear. As far as battery goes, there is certainly enough room to add what I'd like. I'm...

Yup, I watch him. The shop I've been looking at seems to work with him.

Yup. That is why I got the covered ones, but they aren't thermally stable.

I've used channel similar to this before, but it makes it more difficult to waterproof. Clear Epoxy in the channel?

The LEDs themselves. They are mounted on thin, flexible circuit board with nearly no ability to sink or dissipate heat. Evaluating possible options now.

Hmm......http://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=8&products_id=476

The car feels much faster than that, but there was wheelspin to about 35mph (all 4; was slipping down the crown of the road a bit). Got the CEL fixed, but it still won't pass the "visual inspection", or the fact that the 2nd O2 sensor is bypassed, or some other stuff. Kinda gave up on that...

(not warmed up, poor surface, usual excuses)

Still driving it, still awesome. Though with the bigger turbo the power doesn't really come on until the speed is....uncomfortable.

Mainly the smaller total volume. Being able to carry it in a smaller bag means being able to have it with me more often.

I'm pretty sure mirrorless better fits my new usage pattern (closer to a P&S, but not willing to give up features). So the question is whether I should unload all my Canon gear and go Sony, or hold off until the Canon mirrorless arrives and keep the glass.

Entirely reasonable to ignore our suggestions; we are a very different type of user than you are. My screen is on probably 3 hours a day, so spending more makes sense for me. With your usage profile $250 seems the right price.

I have had a second phone for about 3 weeks now, S8+ on Sprint (loaner, they want our business). I really don't like how narrow the screen is, and the fingerprint reader is in the wrong spot, and the amount of bloat Samsung puts in their phones (Bixby? Really?) seems to slow the thing down. For...

So far it is working fine, but I am still struggling with the logistics of delivering enough power to the strip for full operation. Thermals are also an issue. It seems they were engineered for ~10% utilization. With less than that I can drive 20m worth off a single wall-wart without issue. Once...

I really like the V30. Great improvement over the G5 I had before.

The metal mesh might have a hard time with the tape, not a lot of surface area available. Contact cement is an interesting idea; is there a foam-melting concern there as well?

The trick is it needs to work with the metal mesh, foam inner, and leather(ish) outer at the same time. No CA because of the foam. Hot glue? Epoxy of some kind?

...and earlier reports of poor quality on HiFiMan equipment....totally on-point. The foam ear-cup on my 400i has separated completely. I'm sure I can just glue it back on, but c'mon....
