    So my pc has no internet, but wifi isn’t built into it. The modem is to far aaa way to run a Ethernet cable to it. What would I need to get intertnet to it and what is the best option for competitive gaming

    You can add WiFi. Using a usb or adding a internal card.

    I'm curious if any ex-NCIXers would know more about the lots and items strewn around. For instance, I feel like the blue binned stuff looks to be open-box and in question, and the location of some item might tell some stories too (certain shelves/rooms are for testing/broken shit, who knows).

     

    Personally, I'm not holding my breath about this and probably won't bother. All I have an interest in is a new GPU, but seriously doubt it's worth getting in on with already inflated retail prices, along with a 30% hike in fees/taxes after your bid. Seems still better to wait for Volta, if perhaps supply issues might be resolved by then. I don't expect Nvidia to ramp up fabrication for Pascal when Volta is just about to hit market this year, after all, so perhaps we'll see some pretty impressive output this year.

    I know one thing is that according to exncix staffs on reddit, there wasn't enough inventory to build a complete PC. Keep in mind some pictures show CPUs most than likely those were for testing and such. NCIX in addition to selling parts, they ran a PC building business and had NCIX Tech Tips. The big concern for ex-employees (and maybe some customers?) is personal data getting leaked. Alot of times when bankrupt companies have their HQ liquidated the office PCs and Servers don't get wiped. Those PCs could contain anywhere from resumes to personal info like names, addresses, phone numbers, CC info, and Social Security #s (or whatever Canada equivalent is).  The auction company just wants to make as much money as possible to pay off debt without regards to privacy.

    Yea. Too bad I don't have time to drop by and pick up some memorabilia.

    I supposed we're getting 2 of these threads a day until the auction, lol.

    I just realized that. Mods can lock this thread.

    Just saw a rig on craigslist, i'm looking for a dedicated streaming machine. I'd like to stream at 1080p 60fps, my gaming rig can handle games at those settings but I cant stream settings that high at the same time.

    The rig is a Dell Precision 690 W/ dual xeons. Quad cores clocked at 2.66ghz (not sure if 4 physical cores or digital 2 physical)

    It has 16 GB of DDR2 memory

    Hes only asking $100 for it, and im willing to gamble a little.

    I just want to know if the multiple cores will make up for the lack of speed.

    Will this rig theoretically be able to stream W/ OBS at 1080-60?

    I can add a graphics card if need be.

    Watch this video. They have good tips.

    I need it for a very gpu intensive program that im going to use and my titan xp doesnt have enough power

    Your 14.

    You don't need a Tesla.

    Who is giving you the money for said Tesla?

    What program is it?

    Also you don't need a Titan Xp (unless you are gaming in 4k or need it for a specialized purpose).

    You don't need a Quadro or a Titian V either.

    Heck I'm 19 and my 1070 is good enough for me (and I am an IT Student that needs CPU power more than anything and what I have in my PCs is good enough).

     

  6. I been using IFTT with my Amazon Alexa for the past year and I have it send me a notification everytime my alarm goes off and it is instant. I also have it track what songs it plays in a spreadsheet and other Alexa stuff.  Other things I use it for is like weather notifications on my phone each morning, cross-platform social media posting, etc... The possibilities are limitless even with pre-existing Applets.

    Would a tech news segment not overlap what the Wan show provides, albeit, in a smaller, easily digestible format? Granted, the Wan Show gives us bits and pieces of some of the inner workings of LTT, though I fear the news bit would be diminished somewhat by the presence of a tech news channel being run alongside.

     

    Here is Linus's last Netlinked in 2015:

    Here is the WAN Show from that same week in 2015:

    They could easily do both still without any negative impact because they are very different. 

     

    For Example this WAN they didn't even cover news and were over an hour late right after they moved to the new office and the views were decent:
