I found JeffHK about a month ago, and have enjoyed all his videos so far. Perhaps when they come for me I can take a second life at sea...

I can see EVF to an external monitor being better than DSLRs for studio work now. 100% crop to a large 4k color-correct display would be awesome. I've started to fly my drones the same way (video output to large screen) instead of goggles. Better on the eyes and easier to see details. Obviously...

I am shopping around for a mirrorless for timelapse. Would like it to have the Intervalometer built-in, have good dynamic range, support enough resolution for ~5k video (to motion crop to 4k), and be reasonably weather resistant. Just started looking, have another week before I need to buy.

The motherboard manufacturers clearly consider the heat thing a real issue; my new X299-Deluxe has a large heatsink just for the M.2 slot. I've attached heatsinks to them in other installs. And motherboards are available with at least 4 slots on them, with PCIe cards offering more slots if needed.

When I ran a MikroTik router at home I modified it and added it to the water loop. Quiet enough at that point. Cutting a hole in the top and adding a 120mm fan would probably also make it quiet enough.

The 2011 A3 is tuned way more than the Elantra; even in the more conservative current tune it does 300+ to the wheels (and doesn't detonate the manifold, which is nice). Still not emissions legal in CA, and that time is here. Model 3 deliveries are staggered based on the spec. The one they are...

That timing cuts the options a bit. I'd imagine you can make the first seal before prepping, then the second after filling it?

Seriously considering buying a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport for my next car. 1.6L 201hp, 7-speed dual-clutch, Tech Package It is hard to find something with that power, adaptive cruise, and ventilated seats for under $30k. ------- My pre-order for a Tesla Model 3 is also up, but I've...

Thanks ya'll!

Google will now let you cache areas of the map to your device in advance, so it works without service. Still not as good as a dedicated device with updates maps when offline, but much better when online (traffic data, etc).

In the US, anything "low voltage" (<24v? 48?) doesn't have that kind of issue. I used shielded, because going in after would be a PITA. Certainly paranoia, but I'd do it the same way again.

Central Valley in CA, and that was on the thermostat in the shade of the job trailer. Gave up on work today as it was going to be hotter. Try again Monday.

I haven't stopped drinking, and in fact spent the day working outdoors in 42C with a colossal hangover.

Hard overcast. Had to use the output from the solar panels to tell if anything was happening.

I am very close to getting laser correction done. Losing my current sunglasses would probably be enough.

If it is a competitive match, you can ask for the rules to be a "Scramble". This means that after each team hits, the team chooses the shot they like best and everyone hits from there. Odds are you will be hitting from other people's positions a lot, so you won't be falling behind.

Mainly be careful of your back. If you are bad at golf you will be swinging about twice as much as someone who is good. Each swing will strain your lower back. Also, be wary of sun exposure, particularly if combined with alcohol consumption.

General performance testing and tinkering. Run the stuff my clients usually run on systems and test a few installs just to be familiar. Then (hopefully) still sell them off at a premium due to availability shortages. But I usually end up keeping something.

Still missing the 7900X, some RAM, and the Titan XP. Should be good times.

LinusTechTips pointed out that miners can probably buy every card AMD is able to produce, and that that would be a good thing for the long-term future of AMD.

I now have all the parts except for the processors. Both the 1920X and 7900X are giving very vague ETAs, though the Frontier Edition Liquid showed up tonight.

Thank you Tony for making my camera situation seem just a bit more reasonable. I made my wife listen to me reading the entire post above (along with my annotation) and she seemed a bit grateful. With only 2 bodies and the largest lens I own being the 100-400II, I'm practically a minimalist.

Thanks for that. The "Extend" version (with j264 transcoder) is on the way. They say their software can do the live and DVR things.

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...
