    Ryzen

    I guess that depends on your perspective. They're delivering CPUs with better performance than what Intel has for a fraction of the price while using quite a bit less power. What exactly were you expecting? Those rumors seemed unlikely to anyone paying attention.

    Ryzen

    I have to hand it to AMD, better performance, lower power, and cheaper than what Intel is offering. Intel was on the top of the mountain of efficiency for so long to have AMD push them off by so much is surprising to say the least...

    PoE Cabling

    I don't see why it wouldn't work with your existing CAT5e cables given how short the run is. I've seen lots of VOIP setups using CAT5e and PoE.

    Ancient PC with Windows 98

    Windows 98SE definitely had USB support. Heck, Windows 95 OSR2.1 had USB support. File sharing worked okay with 98SE. I was using 10Mbit and then 100Mbit at the time.

    Or not... The samples arrived in today's mail. It looks like my instincts on the colors were right, but I'll wait until I see what the trilight material samples look like with sunlight on them in the great room tomorrow morning. I held them in sunlight this evening at the front of the house...

    Window treatments v. cellular shades

    Maybe I should have paid the $10 to expedite the material samples from blinds.com. I put the old blinds back up this morning so I have some privacy in the mean time after I finished painting the trim in those windows last night. I have more trim to paint and the ceiling in the room. The walls...

    What just happened to Firefox?

    It's not an update to FF that broke it. If you close it and restart it you'll have the same issue. I don't know if it will happen to you if you keep it running.

    So, suddenly Firefox has decided to disable all my Add-ons because they don't meet Firefox's standards. Common ones like NoScript and uBlock Origin... I figured I just needed to get the latest version, but they all fail to download. Are they trying to make sure I use an old version of Firefox...

    State of the CPUs

    Yes, but you think you're going to perceptually be able to tell the difference between boost clocks of 4.5gHz and 5.0gHz if all else is equal?

    State of the CPUs

    Why do you need 5GHz? However, a few of the next gen Ryzen chips are supposed to have boost clocks of 5GHz in addition to having a lot of cores.

    Window treatments v. cellular shades

    I have 6 windows on the back wall in my great room. The top 3 are only 19" tall. The bottom 3 are 64" tall. Buying 6 window treatments is $$$. :( It looks like close to $1k for what I'm looking at from blinds.com and that's with their 20% off sale that ends today. I'm not to the point of...

    I'm trapped in an epic scope creep mess of my own making. What started as putting 4 speakers on the ceiling in the great room has turned into a big project of much larger proportion than I wanted. Touching up a bit of paint on the ceiling (which didn't match because of the sheen from rolling...

    Anyone have cellular shades or have any experience with them? I am in the midst of painting and making my great room all nice and the cheapo white blinds need to go because they're the wrong color and they don't really allow the room to be darkened enough during the day. I was thinking of...

    So on my latest low voltage wiring project I decided to use these retrofit "old work" rings. Home Depot sells the single gang versions (orange colored) for $1.34 where I live. In 10gig news, I've actually done something that has my server pushing more than 1gig for sustained periods. Doing a...

    I discovered today while moving some equipment around so I can paint the walls that I have the L & R speakers wired to each other's output on the back of my Denon. I guess it's been that way since I swapped over to it from the last one several months ago.

    It was months, might have been close to almost a half year. Just buy the international version from AJ if you don't want to wait. Yes, I'm using a 200GB card in mine. Works fine. I'd expect that a 256 or larger would work fine too.
