    Be sure to contact DJI and let them know! :idea:

    Yeah, I Googled it last night and came to the same conclusion that it's super minor. I guess whoever was telling me that didn't know what they were talking about.

    I was wondering that myself. I have also heard WiFi doesn't work due to the doppler effect once you get over a few mph.

    Doesn't video come back to the phone over WiFi? You'd just want to have it forget all WiFi networks so it can't get online.

    DJI drones - New Mavic 2 pro announced tomorrow

    You'll want to keep it off your WiFi too. AFAIK, you install the DJI app and then sever all connectivity to the phone.

    DJI drones - New Mavic 2 pro announced tomorrow

    Which one did you order? The Zoom or the Pro? AFAIK, you're basically going to end up breaking the law/rules to use it in any meaningful way. The FAA requires you to have line of sight to it at all times and you can't fly it over private property that you don't have permission to fly over...

    Supposedly that's how it works. Hence why it's an obvious scam.

    Audio Equipment

    Not exactly. You want the sound to only come directly from your speakers. However, you don't want to make your room an anechoic chamber. For 2 channel music you don't want a totally dead room with no acoustic reflections. It perceptually won't sound right even if the speakers measure very...

    So apparently Nvidia says the 2080 is about 2x as fast as the 1080 (if using DLSS) with 4K. https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/22/nvidia-rtx-2080-gtx-1080/

    I haven't been following it. They're neat, but I can't come up with a killer user case for one myself that would make me go out and spend the money.

    Audio Equipment

    Generally you want to kill off all the first reflection points, so a panel or two on the ceiling, a panel or two on the side walls and the wall immediately behind the speaker. However, for 2 channel you'll end up deadening the room too much if you're not careful. You don't want to cover every...

    I put up some acoustic panels on the back wall of my office / library at home over the weekend to minimize the acoustic reflections since my head is so close to the back wall. I also swapped out the Sherbourn PT-7200A pre-pro for a used Denon AVR-4520CI I picked up last week. I like Audyssey...

    It is overclocked, supposedly has premium build quality/high quality parts, and they're shipping first. The reality is they're for the people who just have to be first and money burning a hole in their pocket.

    Nvidia RTX 2080 & 2080Ti announcement

    The MSRP was shown as $999 for the RTX 2080 Ti in the announcement today. I suspect you're on to something there. There were quite a few articles written in the past few months about the glut of unsold GTX 10x0 cards. They way they can fleece the suckers who have to have one first and clear...

    That's only if you want to pay the $200 Founder's Edition tax. Still $1k is still stupidly expensive. I wouldn't spend a dime until I see how the new Turing architecture performs with non raytracing workloads. The visual improvement raytracing had in their examples they showcased was quite...

    So what? Do you think I care if my DMM is 1% off when I'm measuring a battery for a flashlight or an RC vehicle? Since you won't tell us what you're measuring and why you need a NIST traceable calibration for the data taken with it why should we take your concerns seriously? It sound like...

    I bought a CD on eBay for less than $5 (including shipping). The seller included a full blown thank you note in a card & envelope and everything. It was a little over the top with the thanks and flowery prose to the point of being a little awkward. I might have to post a picture of it later.

    You can probably get it calibrated. What are you trying to do with it? The Uni-T UT61E is a popular not Fluke money choice.

    Windows 10

    Okay, so I think I got this sorted out, maybe. My router is now playing nice as the DNS server for the hostnames of my LAN PCs (that I've tested so far). It seems the fact that my server had a static IP caused the DNS service in the router to not recognize the host name and all the older...

    Windows 10

    So the April 2018 update to Windows 10 breaks the ability to resolve local PCs (on the same lan/subnet) by hostname. For example, I can't RDP in another box using the PC hostname, and worst of all I can't map network drives using the PC hostname. Using the IP directly works (once I know it)...
