For what it's worth, as someone who uses UniFi gear to make money, absolutely nothing changes, at least in the short term. If you are serious about supporting UniFi gear in a highly reliable way, you need to be hosting your own console, or paying hostifi for hosting. You can't rely on Ubiquiti to provide reliable hosting. And I don't mean a cloud key or UGW/DreamMachine. At work, we have thousand of UniFi devices deployed to small shops, random offices, and a number of larger deployments (largest is ~1000 active clients, we push for Meraki at larger sites but this was an existing install we fixed). We host the controller on VM with a large cloud provider. We stage firmware versions to a couple test sites and don't use auto-updates. We don't use UniFi gateways and avoid their switches (until recently, the newer ones are more reliable then the ones from 4 or 5 years ago based our number of failed switches). At home I have UniFi controller running in Docker. I never have a single problem with either of these deployments. AMA

If less then a hundred or so devices and you don't mind the manual work, Excel is a good choice. You can hook a bar code scanner to it with a VB script and really go to town. Lansweeper free is good for 100 or less devices and a good product, but it's a $1 per device after that, so really quite pricey. If you have thousands of assets I HEARTILY recommend Hudu. It's a monthly subscription and you can self-host for the best price. Nothing in IT document management is as good and I've used a lot. That said, if the documentation isn't vital to making money (like at an MSP or dev shop), buy a barcode scanner on Amazon, buy stickers from myassettag.com (I've used a couple vendors and these are the best), and start pasting into excel.

Absolute nothing burger.Traditional auto manufactures have similar recalls and so-called "optional updates" all the time but because BMW Mini isn't a Tech Company you don't hear about it. Some current Mini Cooper model have the opposite issue, where you can't roll the windows up. They roll up, then as soon as encountering tiny amount of resistance from hitting the top of the window frame they roll back down as if your head was being hit. You can have the dealer fix it was an "optional software update" but it's never been recalled so you won't hear about it. This is just one step of Tesla moving from being a "Startup Indie Tech Darling" to being a for real Serious Auto Maker.

Quite a nothing burger when you get down to it. If this wasn't LTT store but instead some random apparel brand I doubt anyone would care.

If you have BitLocker turned on take a minute and go to the Microsoft recovery page, https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey or signin go to Account -> Devices -> Manage Recovery Keys, and verify the key is actually saved. If you don't see a key you either aren't signed into the right account (very easy if you use 365 or work at a BYOD company) OR your computer simply didn't upload the key, which can happen for any number of reasons.

I think this cooler is just a bit of a turd. Here's a photo: This cooler is 2 cm thick and the fan tops out at ~2500 RPM! I'm honestly surprised it does as well as it does. Before I replaced it (with a DeepCool AK620 I'm idling around 34 C, load high 80s C, 22 C ambient, solved my bluescreening issue) I checked the thermal paste application (stock AMD paste), checked mount, tested with and without case (Antec P5) open, and got the same results with the stock cooler. I suspect the cooler being a couple inches away from an MSI 1080ti in a case meant for shorter cards was pushing it over the edge too bluescreening. But come on! This cooler is 2 cm thick. HAhaa, I had forgotten about that. Back when I signed up it was a thing for a short time to put a fake meme build in your profile. Thankfully I don't have a Xigmatek Recon and never have. I did almost buy a L337 Gaming GANK DRONE Z87H3-A3X back then tho.

For what it's worth, the other day I was modding Fallout 4 VR and one of the alternative start mods bugged out causing a black/white flicker at 90 Hz and instantly gave me a headache.

I have an anti-complaint about Honey. Yes, they may or may not by hoovering up my data when I make a purchase but they did just save me ~$100 on glasses so that's a worthy trade off. Honey does "what it says on the box" and you can't ask much more these days.

Gah, the thing that prompted this thread I forgot to put in the OP. I'm hitting 100C under load and occationally blue screening. I'm using Fan Control to run the case fans and CPU cooler at 100% anytime the temps get slightly high and that has stopped the blue screening. Mobo is MSI B550 VHD-PRO but it never ramps the fans to 100% unless I force it too. The point: is that normal or am I missing a chipset driver?

Even if you were pegging it at 100% for three weeks straight it would still be fine. Unless you have a bad cooler or faulty PSU or something. At my job, desktop uptimes of 2 months are common.

I finally upgraded my venerable i7-4770k to a Ryzen 5 5600X. While I wait for the replacement bracket from bequiet! I'm using the stock cooler, and man, this thing blows! But badly. I'm idling around 54C which isn't horrible but my 1080ti idles around 32-34C. When the CPU is under load it usually thermal throttles within 10 seconds. I have DOCP (AMD equivalent of XMP) on which I'm sure doesn't help temps but I'm honestly a little surprised at how poorly the stock cooler fairs. Is this expected for the Wraith Stealth? It's 9.99 on Amazon which is a bit shocking tbh. EDIT: Installed new cooler, fixed all issues.

This is an awesome project. So awesome I donated $10! Big ups to everyone responsible for making it possible!

Summary The SEC has found that NVIDIA lied to investors about the impact of GPU sales to coin miners. "A significant element of its material revenue growth" was from cryptomining and not real growth in the gaming space as they claimed. As supplying cryptomining equipment is a "volatile business for investors" NVIDIA is required to inform investors that a significant part of their business is based market fluctuations that may not be indicative of future cash flow. NVIDIA was issued a cease-and-desist order and must pay a $5.5 million penalty. Quotes My thoughts For a few years NVIDIA has said coin miners have not been a significant part of their business, I can't find it now but I recall they said it was less then 5%. I however thought that was untrue based on the prices for GPUs more of less aligning with the prices of crypto. The stories of people in Siberia heating their homes with GPUs, "crypto bandits" in the Iranian mountains tapping into the grid to steal power, gangs stealing GPU shipments, etc. Based on the past evidence and today's SEC statement, I think this is confirmation cryptomining was responsible for the Great GPU Shortage almost entirely, or at least 80% of it. There was real demand for gaming GPUs from gamers and that certainly pushed up the price but without the crypto surge it would have been a blip.

A category so wide that places both chowder and custard pie in the same group is meaningless. Because the cube rule fails to add meaning it is invalid.
