  1. I'm assuming you've already swapped the drive for an SSD? If not, you should because that will significantly speed up the performance of swap memory. Downgrading to Mohave may be a good idea given the age of the machine and its purpose.
  2. Remember that this is just the base M4. Apple hasn't even made a successor to M2 Ultra yet. So it's not like the lineup makes sense.
  3. So I was fiddling around with the Honda finance calculator. If I put $15,000 down on a base spec Honda Accord LX (1.5L engine, CVT transmission, non-hybrid) at the advertised 4.9% APR for 60m, the monthly payment would be $321/m. Insurance would be at least an additional $356/m.

     

    Unfortunately, my monthly income is no longer stable and reliably high as our LAHD project was put on pause.

      Do you need an accord?  You can get a civic for less.

      You could buy a used $15K civic, have no payment and far less insurance premium too.

      Need an Accord? No. Want an Accord? Yes. I do not like the way the Civic looks, the Accord is also way more feature packed at its base trim than the Civic. 

  4. If that's the case all you really need is a couple of HDDs, an ethernet port, and any old computer. Just install Plex and configure an SMB file share. You could technically do this on a Raspberry Pi, not that it would be very good, but you could do it.
  5. The iPad Airs are incredibly thin, I can do this to mine without having a case on it. Almost any pressure applied to an area will cause that effect. Not really a concern.
  6. So it appears that our project in Los Angeles is pausing surveys of retrofit buildings. That means a significant portion of our available work is on pause until at least December. This kinda blows because I have been saving up to get a 2024 Honda Accord. Thankfully, the Taurus just went 5k miles with no issues and my mechanic says nothing needs work. 

  7. Yes, turn it off. Traditional LCD monitors do not have near enough brightness, backlight uniformity, and black levels to actually be HDR. You need an OLED monitor or a mini LED monitor. SDR is enough.
  8. Not only go you need a system, but you're going to need storage. How big is your library currently? How big you foresee it getting? This really determines what kind of system you are looking for.
  9. I had an R5 2600 as well until I upgraded to my current R7 5700X. The improvement is huge in loading times and initial start up. Gaming performance is a bit improved as well, but I did not upgrade my GPU, so I'm always GPU limited now.
  10. The MacBook will negotiate how much power it needs with the power brick, assuming the brick is USB power delivery compliant.
  11. 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?
  12. 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
  13. 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).
  14. whatever the default was, but generally pick GPT.
