The first unit started glitching 5 days in, and had a very bad yellow tint on the right side of the panel. This one (the second unit) - the yellow tint (closer to the edges of the screen). Its better than the first unit but still noticable. Also the dark spot in the center Not returning it yet but thinking about it... What would you say?

Dell Germany, so returns are no problem

I got my replacement yesterday for my first unit that I ordered in May. First one started glitching 5 days in and had a horrible yellow tint on almost the full right half of the screen. The replacement doesn't have it that bad but it still noticable closer to the right edges. Unfortunately though there is dark spot in the upper center of the screen, slightly bigger than a tennis ball. Thinking about ordering another one to try one last time (maybe third time will be the charm). Opinions? Can I minimize the mark somehow? Overall opinion on the unit? Thanks!! https://imgur.com/a/8rAJFo4

Hi all, planning to upgrade my home network that has CAT 7 throughout the whole house (family of 4). Usage: Streaming on PCs and TVs, downloading, occasional gaming, uploading/downloading from our home file server and the usual internet browsing. I was going to get 2 Amplify Alien Routers to act as access points since they're up to date to wifi 6 (since I dont want to upgrade again for the next 5-10 years). They're also backwards compatible? Would they work with my 2.4ghz devices on Wifi 5? I saw that they only provide a chip inside for Wifi 5 5ghz, so I was starting to get worried because of that. Would this be an overkill network? Or should I go with 3 nanoHd's instead to put into each house floor? Is there any other reason I shouldn't go with 3 nanoHD's except for them not being wifi 6? Or should I go with a different model completely? Thanks

In terms of speed -- 1000mbit both upload and download (business plan). It wasnt my decision on hosting the service with this method. Ive talked to my boss already and argued many times, though he still insists on hosting the servers in the office -- not renting them. I will try talking to him again, once he comes back from his trip. Edit: I will also be the only one working on this, meaning that if something goes wrong with the servers it would drag me away from development as well. Like you said, this is one of the main reasons why companies choose to rent instead of self-hosting.

Co-location - an office What do you mean by "get quotes done on specific hardware and support packages?"? Specs?

Sorry for the late reply. If Id be using NAT wouldnt that be interfering with the connections between the other servers, such as Application Server to Database Server communication. NAT gives the feature of a hidden IP address, wouldnt that make it difficult for the servers to communicate and retrieve data from each other? Also: Im better off leaving the firewall switches out then, correct? Then software comes into the game, this will be adequate for monitoring threats such as DDOS? DDOS/DOS prevention is my main concern, after all I dont want the servers crashing. I think without proper protection on the servers, it will also defeat the use of them since theyre vulnerable to anything.

So I dont need a switch, and instead get this for the firewall and gain security. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/sonicwall-nsa-series/pd?oc=swnsa2600&model_id=sonicwall-nsa-series or this https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/next-gen-firewall.aspx https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/utm-9.aspx Dont understand the difference between the two though. Application server with Database VM. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r820/pd As in for backup server Ill just build one will be cheaper as well. Edit: For some reason I feel like IF my project becomes successful that the vms wont handle the load with a large amount of users. Just an example: Lets say that I get 3 million users daily all doing those requests of takedowns and adding of files. I am worried that itll fry the server and will the server will simply not be able to handle the load. Am I over exaggerating?

Hey, Thanks for the response! As in Virtualizing you mean just put a bunch of virtual machines on it? 1 running the application server, 1 vm running database and so forth? Wouldnt that be quite resource demanding considering its only one server with couple of hot running vms? If Id take the virtualizing Id probably have to get a overkill machine that could handle all those 3 processes, wouldnt know which one though. And for the backup server youre saying I should build one instead which will save me some of my budget, correct?

How would this be for a switch? http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/sonicwall-nsa-series/pd?oc=swnsa2600&model_id=sonicwall-nsa-series I was gonna add a firewall for security reasons. I dont know if there is a way to prevent DOS/DDOS attacks so I decided to put in a Firewall switch. Also jsut to clarify: So you think my server selection is fine right? Also want to go slightly overkill to save some time in the few years upgrading the machines or if any additional projects will be running on them in the future.

Going to be starting an App for IOS which will be handling many file requests such as takedowns and adding files. Will be happening over a Application server which connects to a Database server, where all the requests get put in tact.

Hey, Im gonna start working on some projects in the next few weeks, and Im going to self host it with 3 servers. Im going to need an application server, 2 database servers 1 will be a backup of the other. My internet speed will be at 1,000 mbits/s both up and down. The database will have to handle frequent requests of deletion and addition of files coming from the application server and that request coming from the client obviously. Im not sure if plain HDDs will do the job, but just to be safe Im gonna be using a server which is capable of supporting SSDs because of the frequent read/writes of files between users. The application server will have to handle the requests and forward them towards the Database where the request will be applied, meaning this will also be quite busy and will most likely need some good CPU power for that. Budget is not a problem but I also dont want to pay 10k for each server. I have chosen these servers from Dell so far: Application Server: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r730/pd Database Server: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r730xd/pd Backup Server: http://software.dell.com/products/appassure-dl1000-backup-and-recovery-appliance/ Additionally for some more security such as a stronger Firewall (TZ400): http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/sonicwall-tz-series/pd?oc=shared_11761&model_id=sonicwall-tz-series Network switch: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/networking-x-series/pd?oc=dn_x1018p_1156&model_id=networking-x-series What your opinion on these options? Am I missing something out? Please be honest if you know Im doing something wrong, I dont want to end up f*cking these projects up. Thanks, much appreciated!

Hey, Im doing a school project right now and need to build a fitness app. Im stuck on the actual programming stuff because I wasnt able to finish the Swift Course fully. Are there any experienced swift developers on here that could help me out via skype or any other communication method? Thanks

Id most probably need to know some programming language to do this, correct? If so, which one?

Hey, How could I create a bot for twitter? When a certain account tweets a certain word, it would send a notification to my phone, or send me an email saying "Alert" or something like that. For example: If Linus says something like GTX Titan or #GTXTitan in his post, the bot would notify me either via mail or notification. The bot would refresh the site (twitter @-LinusTech) with an interval of bout 3 minutes, this would go on until I quit the actual bot or state a time interval, for example "Search for this "GTXTitan" in every post on Account LinusTech, between now and 4 weeks or when I quit the bot. Notify me by email or notification if this happens, with phrase "ALERT: GTXTITAN"". Would this be possible? Thanks
