    What is your Internet speed?

    Yeah I had 3/3 from Bell for about a year until prices skyrocketed. It really makes no discernable difference, 1/1 is "enough". You'd have to have a lot of people in your house hammering it to really hit a point where it becomes necessary. Even for your Plex use case, if your streams are...

    How to: Change subwoofer in Logitech Z-5500

    Thread revival! This is even being used by Google's AI summary :ROFLMAO: Any good sources for woofers in Canada? I came across this store which has these that seem suitable? https://qcomponents.ca/collections/10-woofers/products/goldwood-gw-10pc8-8-ohm-10-200w-home-stereo-woofer...

    UPS recommendations home/gaming PC in 2025?

    I tried my "spare" 1000VA UPS on my tankless water heater, it would keep it running if the hot water was already running when I flipped the breaker, but if I turned the tap off and tried to get hot water again while the breaker was off, nope! UPS instantly powered off. It's really only a fan...

    Rants etc.....

    Heh, I couldn't update the firmware on my Ecoflow since my network was plugged into it and it flips off the AC output while upgrading. Had to hotspot my phone instead and connect it so it could download the update... now I need to look at Ubiquiti's redundant power system :ROFLMAO:

    UPS recommendations home/gaming PC in 2025?

    I had paid $209 for a refurbished unit from their eBay store with a coupon without the extra battery, so that's what I was using as the baseline. Interesting post - but is that just unique to the power supplies in AVRs perhaps? I know long ago the non-PFC UPS's would make my server whine...

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Reviews

    True true... I paid $1100 for my 5950X too... so we are buying this 9950X3D2 then? :ROFLMAO:

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Reviews

    $1299 CAD... It might be an interesting chip to have, like the "Intel Extreme" chips long ago. Seems like mostly a halo product.

    UPS recommendations home/gaming PC in 2025?

    I've been running an EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus for my network gear + server since November now, at ~220w load it shows a bit over 2hr of runtime when running a battery test (when I first got it I did test this to be truthful). The estimate when it's on AC power though is entirely wrong (1d13h lol)...

    Scrapped DDR4 Server RAM now worth $20K

    Would you actually be able to sell 32GB DDR4 ECC for ~$290 a piece... I thought the used ECC market was lower than that since it can't be used by consumers really. The picture at least looks to be RDIMM.

    Disposal of what? The furnace filter? lol

    Hot Water tank Prices

    Would that be fallout from the low housing starts in Canada? Surplus inventory to clear out? I can't really think any material in the supply chain to make a water heater has gone down in price...

    Maybe you are supposed to use those sort of "pre-load" tape holders that mud the tape entirely for you?

    The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

    I had tried DxO and ON1 products to replace Lightroom a couple months ago, but they had varying degrees of hits and misses IMO. Lightroom still "won" for noise reduction and for the auto modes being acceptable (to my eyes). All the screenshots of this Davinci look rather complex, but I'll give...

    The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

    We'll see how long the "free" versions last... I suspect it's more about capturing Adobe's market share and getting people to integrate some other tool into their workflow instead. Once your accustomed to something, you tend to stick to it.

    Logging / watching Wifi: weird behavior

    Well since you have another AP available, another easy thing would just be to swap it out, in the same spot, and see if the behaviour persists.
