Noob question... Do you not suffer the security issue(s) with PPTP, even thought it setup in addition to L2TP and seemingly available able to connect via it at any time? Is it just the data going through it is less secure and not the system/server itself?

I am looking to create a setup very much like this.

I only connect to one of them at a time depending on my use case, not both. If security is a concern, never use PPTP. PPTP is only good for fixing routing/performance issues.

oh i see and guessing the gpu is too long to put one in front?

There wasn't enough room to put a 240mm in the front, that's where I originally tried mounting my AIO.

I think I'm just going to stick with an external capture card for now, I'll probably grab a new case in a few months that will let me mount my videocard vertically.

Can you use a riser? 

Can you explain this in more detail? How would a riser help?

looks like a 240 can fit on top.

Yes it can, that's where my current 240mm AIO is.

Didn't Nzxt make a GPU cooler like that? 

I found the Kraken G12 but it looks like it would still interfere with the other PCIe card due to the location of where the AIO would make contact with the GPU.

What parts are you using? You could use a riser for the capture card in some cases.

It's a microATX case (darkFlash DLM21) so no room to mount the videocard elsewhere sadly.

I'm assuming a custom solution would be around $400. I'm hoping to find an AIO for under $200.

i would look for a card that has an AIO build in, but from what i have seen most of them comes with a 240 now. 

That's a good plan for 2022/2023, but for now I'm trying to keep my budget under $1000. 

Hello, I'm looking for a 120mm AIO for my NVIDIA RTX 3070 so I can access the PCIe slot on my motherboard (if I install my capture card it touches the fan on the videocard). I already have a 240mm AIO for my CPU so I only have enough room in my case for a single 120mm which I know is more than enough for just the videocard but I can't seem to find one.

Ideally a white AIO would be best but at this point in time I'll take any AIO just to get my PCIe slot back. Thanks in advance!  

Setup 2FA for your Steam account and a PIN for Remote Play. "Problem" solved.

I think you mean passive? Passive outputs power all the time, Active doesn’t output power until a suitable client is detected. 

Yeah that, I mistyped.

As long as it's 802.3af you should be fine, just be careful if it's an "active" POE connection though, I've lost two cable testers thanks to those.

20 times more citizens and much bigger percentage of them can use Floatplane.Though this is from perspective of Floatplane owners, as a user it doesn't influence you.

I'm talking from a business owner perspective. I'm just trying to understand which laws are more important and why. I'm going to stick to following the laws of the country I live in, I can't afford to keep up to date on tax codes and laws of every country in the world.

What makes the EU laws more important that North Korea's in the eyes of somebody who doesn't look like be in either place?

That's fine, just don't do business with the EU

It's not like they can stop people though.

If the EU wants to pay for accountants and lawyers then I'm all for it, but expecting companies in one country to hire additional staff to support laws and taxes in every other country in the world makes no sense to me. LMG is a Canadian company, they should only be concerned with Canadian laws and not the laws in North Korea.

1080p at 30 FPS is doable at 6000 bitrate with x264. I stream at the Slow or Medium CPU preset and it looked decent at 6000 bitrate but I switched to 720 at 60 FPS because it looks smoother.

If you stream at a 6000 bitrate then your viewers need at least a 6Mbps internet connection to watch your stream with no dropped frames. Mobile viewers won't stick around unless they're on WiFi and users from other countries most likely won't watch either.

I normally stream at 2500-4000 bit rate depending on what I'm doing (sometimes I just want to stream and then export to YouTube so I don't worry about viewer cou t). For fun I did a test stream this week and you can see the quality yourself: 

That's using QSV at 6000 bitrate in a dual core i5, not bad for 720p IMO.

If you're dead set on streaming at 1080p 30 FPS then 6000 bitrate is your best bet, just don't know expect a lot of viewers.

I used to stream at 1080p with a 10000 bit rate and got a lot of complaints because viewers didn't have a fast enough connection to watch my streams so I lost all of the followers I made and had 0 average viewers. I started streaming at 720p with a 3000 bit rate and I jumped to 50 followers and became Twitch Affiliate within a month.

Go watch the popular Twitch streamers and go view the video stats to see what they stream at. People rarely stream at 1080p, they either stream at 720p or 900p.

But 720 doesn't look too good either, so what would be a good combo for running at 1080?

Become a Twitch partner and stream at a higher bitrate. Keep in mind if you are not a Twitch partner and you stream above 3000 bitrate a lot of viewers will not be able to watch you because you will not have transcoding enabled for your streams and without a broadband connection they'll get dropped frames (even on LTE mobile connections where latency is a pain).

So if you want to stream for a few people, crank up the bitrate until Twitch throttles you. If you want to get viewers aim for 2500-3000 to start.

As for streaming resolution, aim for 720p at 60FPS for the games you're playing unless you're a Twitch partner (not affiliate) and you can bump up your bitrate a lot. While Twitch doesn't have a "max" bitrate, they have been known to throttle non-partners above 6000 so that should be your focus and trying to push 1080p at 60 FPS even with x264 doesn't look great at 6000 bitrate.

For a single PC setup I always recommend going hardware encoding if you have an NVIDIA card. The quality difference isn't much at common bit rates and there's no noticeable performance hit. For a dual PC setup then software (x264) all the way.

I feel bad for people who are surprised by this "news". It makes me genuinely upset that people are that ignorant about tech in 2019 and somebody isn't trying to fix that.

The only way this would work is using Thunderbolt like Linus did or running really long HDMI cables like I did. Using USB for video doesn't work for gaming (I tried it) so you're looking at either multiple long cable runs or an expensive Thunderbolt hub and cable.

I'm looking for a monitor for my IP cameras that I can mount on a wall with minimal wires (preferably power only, POE, or something with a batter that I can charge overnight). I was thinking of getting a cheap Amazon Fire tablet and mounting that to the wall and using tinyCam Pro, but I don't know how well the tablet would hold up with the display on 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and I don't want to deal with unlocking the screen and re-opening the app every time. Size doesn't matter and I'd like to keep costs under $100 if possible. Any ideas or suggestions?

If you're using Windows 10 look into Wireless Projection, it's a built-in feature on Windows 10 and I used it for the first time this week and it worked amazing. The laptop has to be on the same network as the PC, but that's the only requirement.

EDIT: I can't find the guide that I used, but this one should work: https://www.onmsft.com/how-to/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-display-in-windows-10

Nothing new here, companies "rebrand" existing hardware all of the time and markup the price because of the label but that's also because of the included support for it. Just because they are the exact same product doesn't mean they're worth the same amount.
