  1. Oops I just submitted this topic myself, let me go delete it.

     

    On an aside note: Aside from Apple liking money, those guidelines were also originally put in place to guard against third-party app stores like Cydia making their way onto the legit App Store.

     

    EDIT - Mods beat me to my own post lol. Sorry about that @Morgan MLGman

  2. Article by The Verge: https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/5/17430532/apple-app-store-rules-valve-steam-link-game-streaming

     

    Originally Steam Link was refused submission to the App Store on the grounds that it gave access to the Steam Store, a third-party marketplace, through which content could be bought and experienced on the iOS app without ever involving Apple in the transaction. Apple doesn't like being left out of this because a) They like money, but more importantly b) These guidelines were originally put in place to stop third-party app stores (like Cydia) from making their way onto iOS.

     

    The revisions now make an exception for apps that don't facilitate the purchase of software in the app itself, meaning that Steam Link will now have the green light for its iOS release, users just wont be able to peruse/purchase Steam games through Steam Link, they'll have to do that at their computers.

    Sadly my travel case would still scuff it, it has to be something on the system itself but I agree, I did see on Gamestops site though a portable dock by Nyko that was supposed to be released yesterday. Doesn't seem to be available anywhere in my area though.

    Looks like it's available on Amazon:

    EDIT: Looks like it doesn't release until October 31st

    Yeah that's the issue, also I just looked and its the dock and my travel case that's scuffing the back, and this is one of the official Nintendo cases.

    I'd get a silicone case, so as to avoid as much cosmetic damage as possible. Bonus if you could find one that's thin enough to fit in the dock.

  5. Since you're using Premiere to edit the podcast, After Effects has a visualiser effect which you can drag and drop onto an audio track and use effect controls to change how it looks. This might be easier for you since you can edit the podcast in Premiere first, and then link that click directly to After Effects.

  6. RAID 1 Is the way to go If you want reliability. RAID 1 stripes two drives, meaning that they are a mirror copy of each other.

    The disadvantage to RAID 1 is that you get half the storage you paid for, since the same information is being stored on both drives.

     

    RAID 1 will give you higher read speeds (because there's two drives with the same information to pull from, therefore double the theoretical bandwidth)

    but it will maintain normal write speeds, because new data has to be written to both drives.

     

    If one drive in a RAID 1 array fails, the array will continue to operate normally (even if it happens while your computer is running), allowing you to keep your data intact, and even put in a new drive to set up a RAID array again.

    I have friends who do freelance video and film production, and most of their mass storage systems use RAID 1 because they cannot afford to lose any bit of footage.

    I watched the vids when the server died

    That was using hardware RAID cards though.

    If you're not going to be doing stuff like 24/7 drive operation, then software RAID (through Windows) will be much more reliable.

  7. Your PSU will last much longer and deliver more consistent power if it's peak load is not too close to it's maximum capacity, plus it's good to give yourself headroom if you want to overclock or upgrade in the future.

    Ok well thats fine, but will a 7700 and a vega 64 work with a 550Watt PSU?

    I reckon that's a little bit too tight for my taste.

     

    Vega 64 with Air Cooler is rated for 295W

    Vega 64 with water cooling is rated for 345W

     

    Go with a 650W and at least 80+ rated PSU

    I don't understand why you're comparing them with different RAM speeds.  They should both be 2933MHz if you want a fair comparison.

    In a realistic scenario, each platform should be running the fastest speed it will manage whilst maintaining stability.

    Zen's CCX interconnect - Infinity Fabric - benefits from higher clocks speeds, so why wouldn't you run both Intel and AMD CPUs at the fastest speed they can respectively achieve?

    The powerline itself shouldn't have to travel that far. My room is actually right above the room with the router, it's just that my parents are not keen on me running Ethernet through the ceiling/floor, so a cable would have to go up and around basically the entire house. 

    Running a really long CAT cable would still net you bettter speeds, especially if you go wiith CAT6A, with it's thicker insulation allowing for higher bandwidth over a fairly long distance.

     

    If you'll need to have part of the cable run outside, get an external-rated cable.

  11. With monitors, the higher the resolution, the lower refresh rate they'll be able to do.

     

    Your monitor's default is 1440p @ 60Hz, So you shouldn't gripe about not getting 1440p @ 75Hz.

    An increase of 4Hz at the max resolution is decent. It's a bit of a lottery with the quality of the panel.

     

    Monitors have a clock-rate, sorta like your Graphics card or CPU, where it determines how much information can be pushed to the panel per second. You get this number by multiplying pixels by refresh rate.

     

    If you lowered the monitor to 900p or maybe 720p then I reckon you could get a higher refresh rate like 80Hz or higher.
