Scrapped DDR4 Server RAM now worth $20K
Uhhh.... well I dont have 72 sticks of 32gb. But I do have (for some* reason) 16x 8Gb DDR4 ECC sticks. Wonder how much those are now. *= the reason being that totally-secret Epyc build I've had sitting around for over 2 years... 😅😓😔🥲😭- CMetaphor

Logging / watching Wifi: weird behavior
I surveyed the 4 corners of my house when I set up the AP years ago, got enough to know where I could put my AP and where the "black holes" of signal strength killing were. Single AP (for now). Wired. PoE powered but connected only by a 6ft Cat6e cable.- CMetaphor

Logging / watching Wifi: weird behavior
Im only using fixed channels far away (decibel -wise) from.pthers because the wifi in my house is problematic (solid iron beams used in its construction) and because my AP is a bit underpowered to cover the whole house reliably. In other words, im trying to get the most out of my signal strength...- CMetaphor

Logging / watching Wifi: weird behavior
You all know I'm not a networking guy... (I STILL havent cut out the "middle box", months later... dont ask) But Ive got a (hopefully) easier Q this time: I'm slightly suspicious that one of my neighbors - intentionally or not - has a powerful wifi setup that hops onto the channels I use from...- CMetaphor

Rants etc.....
Finally tried Smart tube... Interface is meh, polish is meh. But the important part: there seems to be no controls at all for touchscreen devices. So very heavily aimed at android TV users with some sort of external remote control? Open a context menu like the video one to select video quality... -

Whats your latest purchase?
Kinda wondering... did anyone else ever get the Lian-Li box to re-home their 360s? Was it only me that was dumb enough / lian li fan boy enough to do it? Its been running quiet(er) and stable for quite some time, albeit I rarely use it nowadays. Having the whole console cooled by a standard... -
What music subscription service are you using?
Actually gave in and got Spotify premium, for just a couple key reasons: - BAN Specific artists!!! Ffs I needed this. I kept getting a "collab" song between an artist I like... and a rapper. A rapper whose Only words at the beginning of their collaboration song is B*tch. F-ing obnoxious... -

Toyota reminding of 2015 Takata airbag recall
"Widespread news"? Doesn't seem like it, I missed it, as did several of my car buddies ive spoken to now. Gotta remember, if youre doing your own car maintenance, and dont watch reg news channels (or dont have a TV subscription at all, as I do) then there's many ways for this have been missed...- CMetaphor

Toyota reminding of 2015 Takata airbag recall
I just looked into this, and Holy $#!& why wasnt this more widespread news? It seems most of revelation happened just before Covid? I owned a car with these airbags and had no idea (its sold now). People, PLEASE look into the full Takata airbag story and see if you own any vehicles that may...- CMetaphor

"I feel betrayed": Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 translator fired and replaced by AI - decision sparks criticism from players
Interesting (anger). I bought KCD2 I think during the steam winter sale, seeing many positive reviews. Havent played it yet though (0 hrs 0 mins), and this kind of sh*t pisses me off, so Im going to ask Steam for a refund, citing this person's story. And even if they dont refund it, I think ill... -

DOA Board?
I hate to say it, but this has always been my experience with topend Asus stuff. The bells and whistles work, they look cool, got a ton of features.. and they just dont work. 🤷♂️ Sorry Ob-behemoth-alisk (that's terrible, ignore me) will be delayed.- CMetaphor

Favorite Youtube Videos of the week Thread!!!
Glad it appears they didnt actually ruin a classic like that. The cutout in the hood looks unmodified. Ironically, with these *ahem* "modifications", the car probably ran a lot worse... like sh*t, in fact. 🤣 Edit: stoichiometric? Nah. 2:1 ratio! In this case, 2x fuel to 1x air? Jeez lol
