Not sure how long I've had my G5; I got it right as it came out. And now that my wife is on Google Fi, I have a spare G5 to swap to. Won't be changing phones anytime soon.

Yup

A while ago I had a good digital OTA antenna mounted to the outside of the house and a cable routed in. I haven't found a solution I'm happy with yet; I'd love to connect said antenna to a network device of some kind and run a program on any computer to watch the stuff, but I haven't done the...

Wow. I was right there with you until the 5D IV and 600/4. The 16-35/4 is a great lens; wish I'd gone that way instead of the 17-40.

That sounds like an OS update.

Yup.

Part of the R&D budget at work. I want to make sure there are no issues with the Threadripper platform on ESXi before I buy them for production use. The GPU I'll probably use for Etherium or something after I'm done with the benchmarks (unless it is better than the 1080ti I'm running now).

That sounds like an OS update. There may be a way to restrict these downloads to when the phone is on WiFi. I believe my phone package on Google Fi does not count OS updates towards my data cap.

I've been asked to set up something at work to help people view it safely. Haven't put any thought into it yet. Probably just going to run a live video feed to a nearby TV.

Eventually it will run a bunch of virtual machines, but I'm curious how many cores I can get above zero running a worst-case gaming scenario. In one of the games I play I run 5 clients simultaneously along with a half-dozen supporting applications and screen capture. The 6900k I'm on now will...

I've never had an AIO leak in any way. I've had the pump fail and the system crash, but it didn't break anything. Some of the coolers support controlling the pump speed via USB interface and software, but I don't want software controlling my cooling system. The pump isn't a significant source of...

All the current CPUs and GPUs from all the manufacturers throttle their performance if temps get to a threshold. While I suspect that a really good air cooler in a really well ventilated case would be good enough, I want to remove that variable from my benchmarks. So the GPU has a factory...

https://youtu.be/9voQqU73-Mg 1920X (and supporting parts) and Vega Frontier Liquid ordered. Should be here in a week or so. Still haven't ordered an i9, but will once they are in stock again. Any particular tests people want to see?

You haven't defended your position, and are repeatedly using inflammatory language. Try being less of a dick and I'll be more inclined to have a conversation.

I will be shortly, the repository I use will have that available for trading soon.

I think I prefer this one: http://www.ictable.com/ Solves Lunar's concern as well.

I'm certainly not considering it. I don't feel that the potential upside is as large as it has been, and the uncertainty is still there. It seems like more cryptocurrencies came out before BTC was able to properly establish itself as a standard. To me this weakens the validity of the system...

Whether they were purchased or mined doesn't seem to be the big deal. Speculating when there was a lot of uncertainty and lucking out was the important part. I'm not sure that can be replicated now that cryptocurrency is an established thing.

About a third before, a third after, and holding the remaining third.

I linked a video from a major content provider that was supposed to be a positive message for AMD that happened to have something that concerns me. And you respond with a video that exactly sells your message from....who? I really want AMD to succeed, and will likely have a Threadripper system...

Still holding some, just as speculation, but I've liquidated quite a bit.

Considering AMD couldn't provide a working system to someone they knew would be doing a live demo on stage, with a rep on stage no less, it makes me question the reliability of their platform. https://youtu.be/twkZz5WyVJs

But at the moment even 6 cores is more than most applications can use. Single-core performance is (for most desktop users and gamers) way more important than cores 11-50. How does AMD hold up in single/double core performance?

Nope. Though I am a bit notorious for my battle against meetings. I find it far better to talk to a dozen people for 5 minutes each than have everyone sit in a room for an hour. And in the process save 11 hours of productivity.

Reading this finally was enough to get me to log onto my BTC account and see how things were doing. Much better than I was expecting, time to call the accountant.

I still have quite a bit of bitcoin sitting around; did a fairly large ASIC farm a while ago. It did pay for itself and then some (double? Haven't sold the profits yet), but my timing was better than these guys. 1. Establish a relationship with the manufacturer and get the parts early. I...

Thermal mass and slower, more efficient methods of heating/cooling can be efficient if you design it from the ground up to be so, and if you want a target temperature the whole time. Unfortunately for me, I like the temperature inside to be cool when it is hot out and warm when it is cold out.

M.2 drives of up to 2TB are still reasonably priced, and their heat output is only significant compared to their size (they still consume less than a HDD). Cost per TB is still certainly a thing.

One of the ASUS boards I was looking at has an optional 8x PCIe card with 4 M.2 slots to go with the one on-board. All with direct access to the CPU for bootable RAID-0 ;)

The bigger they get the slower they go. But the torque gets insane and breaks things. Mainly the gearbox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestas_V164 Rotor diameter 164m, total height 220m. Still not big enough.

<2. so I would ...as well.

Now that I have a single kid, I don't even want to add a goldfish or a plant. This is all the responsibility I want.

Once a week for 4 hours? After pushing for grandkids?

Yup. But Portland this time.

Had someone come visit me yesterday regarding some international consulting work. My parents are moving to a different state (they were our support network with the kid) on Monday, my father-in-law arrives from Moscow (just for a visit) Tuesday. Too much going on.

Once they drives are in they are a little heavy, but should not have caused injury. Also, don't chew on the NAS.

There are lots of options depending on the aesthetic and budget, but that is a good cheap option. I think the most important thing is to isolate the unit from the floor. Getting it off the ground a bit will also help prevent it from picking up dust particles. Link: http://a.co/5DoWEv0

In that configuration I'd just focus on making sure the unit is vibrationally isolated from the floor and then make sure the hard surfaces near it (back walls, floor, underside of table) have some sound absorbent stuff on them. That should leave it open enough to not restrict the airflow while...

I've looked into the same. I'm thinking that something external to the unit that prevents a direct noise path from the fans might be enough without having to dig into the device.

Finally a car that solidly beats a Tesla (only the P90D, but it would do the new one as well): https://youtu.be/eT7KKxoAvvk Although it is a bit more expensive and they only built 8 of them (now only 7 exist), they seem to be a handful at the limit: https://youtu.be/18oAkxwYQh0

It is Linux, but in practice it is as far as possible from a DIY Linux solution. You don't need to know anything about Linux, do any research into hardware or software, or bother with assembling the thing yourself.

Nope. I put 500GB SSDs in mine, their STR should be at least as good as the HDDs. And that is before two operations start happening at the same time.

Put SSDs in a pair of those bays as a RAID1 read/write cache. Really helpful.

All of my AV gear is on an exterior wall, so doing such things is more challenging.

I was thinking exactly that.

Good thing I built that absurdly-overkill WC loop. Might be time to implement the below-ambient elements to it. Still not time to buy, though.

I just have the one 12" in the living room and an 8" in the master bedroom. I don't think I need more.

I'm quite certain I never want to work for a company that large again, so I am more comfortable sharing ;)
