  1. The MacBook will negotiate how much power it needs with the power brick, assuming the brick is USB power delivery compliant.
  2. Hello all, so we're working for a company that sends emails whenever a certain button is clicked in a program to mark when we are finished with a site. Previously this worked, but now the emails are not being delivered at all. I discovered that the reason is because of DMARC. Exchange is not delivering their emails because the sender does not pass DMARC verification and has a DMARC policy of reject. I have informed them that their security settings are messed up, but who knows if they will fix them and will instead shift the responsibility onto me. If that's the case, is there a rule I can create to allow emails from their specific domain to bypass the DMARC checks and send the emails along to their intended recipients?
  3. If you're mixing and matching drives. SHR is the only way. SHR2 allows for 2 drives to fail and offers the same storage as RAID 10 in a 4 bay NAS. In a 6 bay NAS, SHR2 gives you another drive of capacity, but you can still only loose 2 drives. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator?raid=SHR_2|RAID_10
  4. Supporting the ability for x86 computers to run Android apps requires there to be a demand for that, and there simply is no demand. This type of thing also requires active support rather than just being a byproduct of your PC running the same architecture as your phone (like Apple Silicon and the iPhone).
  5. whatever the default was, but generally pick GPT.
  6. If you can see it in the BIOS, that means the drive is working, but you need to initialize it. Open Disk Management on your PC, scroll down until you see the drive. It should show up as a black "unallocated" volume. Right click it and you should be able to format the drive, name it, and assign it a drive letter.
  7. And making devs responsible for how computers work at a fundamental level is exactly why there are so many security vulnerabilities.
  8. Back when I was taking programming in JC, the concept of how C++ handled memory didn't make any sense. I mean, it made sense in how it worked, but why it worked that way didn't make any sense. Who the hell wants pointers?
  9. Crucial P3 is cheap and will be plenty fast. If you have access to a Microcenter, get their Inland 2TB drive.
  10. Check both ends of your connection. Try a different cable.
  11. Hi all! So I noticed a few weeks ago that my home network would “crash” occasionally whenever I would try to stream content via Plex on my local network. My client is a 2nd Gen AppleTV 4K. One behavior was: After starting playback, the content would load, but shortly after my server and home network would go offline. All devices would loose connection until my router came back online. The routers would not “reboot” per se, at least according to the status LEDs, but they completely lost connection. Another behavior was: Playback would start fine, but usually after a few minutes, playback would stutter and a “your connection to the server is not fast enough” message would appear. Sometimes it would stabilize, other times it would just lag and crash the network again. Server: 2018 Mac mini running Plex Media Server v.1.87.2.87-87488d5a Router: 2x Linksys Velop MX4200 Anyway, the solution seems to have been to ENABLE “Priority By Device” in my Linksys Smart Wifi App. Assigning my server to the priority list seems to have completely stabilized my network. I watched Oppenheimer (4K @ ~45Mbps), an episode of Bobs Burgers, and am currently watching South Park while typing this. The network appears completely stable. tldr: If you have a Linksys router and your network is crashing when watching Plex, add your server to the “Priority By Device” list in your Linksys Smart Wifi App.
  12. So, there isn't one. Got it. OP asked for a Microsoft/Windows equivalent to those apps. Microsoft does not ship a DAW or video editing tool. You have to get alternatives from 3rd party devs. Microsoft also does not include an offline office suite. Windows is very much a "pay up or shut up" OS for most consumers. You just bought or built your brand new PC and you can't do any work with it out of the box.
  13. Is there any particular reason you need 4K displays? 1440p is the sweet spot imo. 1440p at 27" has a PPI of ~109 which qualifies as a retina display from a normal viewing distance (about 30").
