time, I really wanted to relate, so I queued up all the songs you listed. Unfortunately I couldn't finish any of them. I suppose in order to connect so directly with a group of listeners one might need to abandon the rest? Of course, my tastes include practically nothing from the late 70s to...

Not disagreeing, I just don't want to be the legal case that decides it. When the police roll up I'll be able to cite the guidelines and show a fancy registration card that says everything is ok.

RD650 is a nice unit. The management was an extra, and the DP only would be a pain but I've done without KVM for a few years now (monitor, keyboard, mouse, tools on a stand-hotplug as needed). The 650 does come with an onboard NIC, but unless it is 10GbE it will never be enough these days.

The AMA has been pretty adamant about their members not registering, I think they want a legal case to challenge. I have a number of Radians, some other smaller quads, and a huge flying wing running ArduPilotMega with full instrumentation and enough capacity to carry a DSLR. I have not yet had...

Because the penalties for not are crazy, and I anticipate being in situations where I am actually challenged by authorities.

Already have my registration number on it. This was filmed at 397ft AGL

Anyone running Trendmicro? I have some bad news for you...

Not having to partition your data into 6TB chunks. My movies, videos, and photos folders are all larger than 6TB.

I'd just use a kill-a-watt at the wall and consider that a safe figure. Or (what I normally do), get something that is certainly overkill and don't worry about it.

I bought a wiring harness that allowed the steering wheel controls to interface with the aftermarket stereo. It works, but cost nearly as much as the head unit.

Oh, and a warning. I really like the Koolance stuff, but check here before you order; every part is a distinct P/N that needs to be spec'd separately. In fact, I have quite a few fittings and misc that I'd send your way were you interested in doing this.

This is the unit I use, but don't do that unless you are cooling multiple systems (several kW). This is the one I would get were I you. Integrated rad, fans, pump, res, and control for all of it.

Yup, I have a similar system (into my garage) for the summer. I use Koolance Quick Disconnects to allow me to move the rad inside in the winter. Part of my redesign would be to keep the hard-plumbed loop in place and leave the pump outside all the time. Just relocate the rad for winter. Also...

Interesting. I wonder if this explains some of my issues with doing an overclock; I use Prime95 and was having inconsistent results. Looking forward to trying again after the fix.

IIRC, the external transformers are not particularly efficient.

Good to know. I have the space, and will get more SSDs to experiment with.

Didn't, but now I do. I heard about the securities this morning on a financial program.

Thank you for finding that one, allow me to whine about the lack of modular cables ;) Efficiency is one of the boxes that I tick when I build a system, it would be nice to not have to install a 550W PSU and run it at 15% load most of the time just to claim efficiency. These systems aren't...

If the tablet could have the ability to remote control my phone (answer/ignore calls, texting), I'd be all over that.

I've got some SSDs coming to play with the tiering capabilities. I suspect that with even only 400GB of SSD in front performance of the HDD system becomes nearly irrelevant.

Point for point, this is exactly what I know as well. Of course, the last one I only know from this post and I've never seen Labyrinth, but yeah.

Sounds good to me. I'd really like to see an 80Plus Titanium in the 300W range. Efficiency peaks at about 50% of rated capacity, and that would make it ideal for normal builds.

Sorry to hear that Lunar. Personal mental note, when on a cliff with Albatross, use redundant cards.

First post updated.

Yup. And my second error, it was a 980Ti. https://youtu.be/5H54EZ8BmwE

Thanks for that. Those benefits will absolutely be worthwhile on my tier-2 storage (the array with redundancy and more spindles of lower capacity to fend off rebuild errors).

Indeed. And then you have folks like Scott Manly who just upgraded for the first time in years to a 970. I'm trying to talk him into streaming at 4k.

He calls it a 5.25", but it looks to only be a slimline optical. I don't see a need for either myself.

So the upside is the ability to add and remove drives from the array, and to specify arbitrary logical capacities. The downside is crap performance? That is unfortunate. Time to sync off all the changes and go back to a proper RAID.

My first assumption was that there was some equivalency here; with "No Resiliency" meaning RAID0, and the other options stepping through RAID5, RAID6, and RAID1. This was further reinforced when I added a 4th drive to my "no resiliency" pool; the OS asked if I wanted to optimize drive usage and...

Using Storage Spaces in Win10 to create a 4x 8TB RAID0 array (Ultrastar He8 HUH728080ALE600). Sounds totally legit, right?

I bought and installed the Pioneer AppRadio SPH-DA210 in my car and it sucks. Only a couple apps work, only in a crippled mode, and only if you have it plugged in. The mapping app won't work until you have the external GPS antenna connected, and you need to change the keyboard on your phone to...

Thanks for that, shared as much as I can.

I was hoping it would give me the car computer capabilities I'm after. The thing that is about to cause me to pull the plug is that my screen won't sleep as long as the computer is connected, even though AirMirror won't work because my phone isn't rooted. No traffic and the battery is half gone...

I prioritize weight over all else. These are light enough that even with just the pads for contact the total pressure it probably much lower. http://www.nikevision.com/products/detail/nike-4192/#13892_007 Nah, when the kid is in (my parents) house the cat isn't. Hence the wine stand.

Interesting, but I'm not saying it's good. Just started playing. AirDroid: Do a bunch of your phone stuff on your computer.

She wouldn't be offended, so I wouldn't worry about it. ;)

Better form-factor and probably faster: M.2 SSD to USB3

Blue shirt front and center. Others in the pic are my kid, wife, and mother.

I'll need to fix that. Here I am being ridiculous with family:

100% agree that Skylake is the way to go. That Silverstone looks like it has a lot of open grille space, might be difficult to keep quiet.

They fit over glasses. I wear glasses, so if there is an issue related to that you'll hear from me.

I have one larger-scale idea that could benefit from the tech, but mainly just want to play with it at this point.

Nope, that is the pre-order. No one knew how much it was going to be until the pre-order went up. There were issues with their site right at the buzzer (naturally), so I was 26 minutes in. On one page during the order they mentioned May as a delivery date.

Shame; that was the only reason I went there.

Oculus Rift retail pre-orders go live in 30 minutes and my credit card is ready. Anyone else jumping in?

If my projector lasts long enough I'd like to wait until 75"+ OLED are reasonably priced (mid four-figures?)

Not a decision made by me at all, that part of the spec I left to them. And I haven't bought that rig yet, so I will bring it to their attention ;) Actually, the next rig they build for me will probably be for Microsoft Storage Spaces as an alternative backup location.
