Will try this now. Thanks again, I'll update shortly.

Appreciate the rapid response, the Smart data is all flawless. No errors detected on any drive. For reference, this is just one, but they all are the same (except for the details on the seagate obviously)

Hey everyone, So to keep this concise, I went away for the long weekend with my small unraid NAS running at home. I can access plex etc from a far so this is nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately since I was camping, I didn't have any access to the server for 3-4 days. When I left, it was running perfectly normal, but when I got back, the server was no longer mounted or accessible from my network. My first thought was that the power went out, but the unit wasn't off downstairs. It was completely unreachable though the webgui, so I restarted it manually. After this the system came back online and I could access the menu, but after pressing start, it tried to mount the drives for over two hours on a frozen screen before I stepped in. I re-powered down and powered up and was able to start the server in Maintenance mode. At this point in time I ran a full parity check, thinking a drive/portion may be corrupt. After 8 hours the parity check found 12 errors that it was able to re-write. I think was able to manually spin up the drives in maintenance mode. I rebooted the server, again in maintenance mode and then stopped it. Without any power down, I then tried to start the server again. Again, it froze on mounting the drives and became completely unresponsive. I'm completely at a loss for what to try next. The circles next to the drives are all green, no indication that there is any hardware failure that I can tell. Software wise, nothing was installed or changed over the weekend since I wasn't even in the same province and my house was empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated. For reference I am running: - Pentium G3258 - Gigabyte - GA-H87N-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard - 3 x 3tb WD Red Drives, 1 seagate 2tb drive - ADATA - XPG V1.0 8GB - EVGA 500W PSU - Unraid version 6.3.3 I am more than happy to pull logs or post other specs/details if it will help. My issue is once I click that start button, it will become completely unresponsive. On a side note, if i Power down as a clean power down, it still says "unclean shutdown detected.' Not sure if that is significant or not.

This just made my day. Was complaining about lack of amazon prime video in canada to the wife on Monday. Get home from work today and SURPISE! Finally can cut that monthly Netflix out of my budget.

Hey everyone. I was just touching base in regards to a bit of a setup change I was hoping to implement when my Touch controllers come this week. I was hoping to be able to use them in my living room, where there is more room, but I dont really have the ability to be moving my computer back and forth. I was thinking something along the lines of what @LinusTech uses at home, with a computer in one room and the oculus camera's and devices in another. Is there a thunderbolt or USB 3 header with range enough available that will do this? http://imgur.com/a/qnFHw - Diagram of my house. The total distance is approx 30 feet or so from pc to the tv area. There are vents/duct work that I can run cables in if needed. Just curious if there are any options that will support the oculus in a room that far away without having to move my pc! Thanks for any advice!

@Mug I wasn't actually going to order a pair of them. Was just browsing on the website and stumble across the pattern.

Just browsing around for some new dress socks for work, came across these ones. Does @LinusTech know that WAN show colored socks exist? These would look great under the sandals Friday nights! If anyone is actually interested in purchasing.. https://www.boldsocks.com/product/teal-orange-hexa-stripe-mens-dress-socks-statement-sockwear

Doing some quick googling shows that in fact many high end DSLR lenses use non-glass components in the lens building process (fluorite, resin etc). For me this argument is moot anyways. It's clear that you have little experience with a Rift, have clearly never seen a picture of the lens but are arguing til you're blue in the face about all these negative points. I don't think it would hurt to research the topic that you are trashing a little bit more, and read the information presented in these articles like IHS a little bit more critically. It takes a big man to argue in the internet about things they have no experience with, it takes a bigger one to admit their wrong. Does the Oculus cost 599 to produce, likely not. But the 200$ estimate is not correct either. Forgetting/omitting the lenses in the calculation really just isn't acceptable.

@LAwLz I'm just curious if you own a Rift, or have any hands on experience. I have my CV1 sitting on my desk beside my Canon d5500. Not a top end camera I understand, but i can tell you the lenses on the Rift are not twice as large. In fact, the Oculus lens is individually slightly larger than the Canon. The enclosure holding it is less complex yes, but the individual glass specific lens component is larger, and i would say due to the Hybrid Fresnel nature of it more complex to assemble. Yes their is no citation for that, but I'm the assumption is based on the fact that it is a custom built lens of considerable size of the like that has NEVER been produce before. Assuming that the Canon nifty 50 is 10 times more difficult to produce is an absolute fallacy. Camera lenses are mass produced across a wide array of companies and manufacturers, some of which have been doing it for decades. This specific lens has never before been built prior to being in the Oculus, and other than the Vive there is nothing like it anywhere in the market. Canon and Nikon can mass produce their lenses and have experience doing so for many years. Not to mention the technology they use in their cheaper lenses is just not at the same level as what the Rift has. Sorry, but they are more than 10$, I think anyone with a grain of common sense in their head can see and understand that a new product/technology as this is not going to be compared to "nuts, bolts and velcro", because thats just silly. In case you dont believe me, a picture for reference....10x more difficult to produce....yeah right.

The campaign ended July 28th. I ordered the shirt mid July. So it was available last month.

@nicklmg This is the link that I purchased the shirt from. https://teespring.com/ltt-silver#pid=6&cid=619&sid=front I also did submit a ticket on Friday with Teespring, and while I received a prompt reply that they would look into it, I have yet to hear back with any updates regarding that. I will give them another day ot two to get on it though. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to this, Thanks so much!

The fact is, there is no hard evidence on either side of this argument. If you read the ENTIRE list from top to bottom, there is 0 mention of any lenses. I'm not sure what you are specifically looking for, but is that not hard evidence. For comparison, lets do a tear down on a modern sports car. Conveniently, there is no mention of cost of a transmission. It is reasonable to assume that forgetting to even mention a component as integral to the function of a car as that is just not reasonable. It's not a fact of hard evidence, it's literally using your EYES! The word LENS does not appear even once on that document. How can you require more evidence than that. If I went outside to wear I parked my car, and it was no longer there that would be enough to know it was stolen. I wouldn't come home and ask around for some more evidence to prove that it was. Also, you love to state these wild claims that DSLR lenses are 100 times more expensive to produce than a Rift lens, and then go on to ask for citations. I have yet to see you post a citation about why you believe they are that much more expensive, aside from listing parts. That really means nothing. One of the few people who publicly posts about Oculus materials etc made the comparison to a DSLR lens. I for one believe that lends more credibility to that, then your random internet DSLR knowledge.

The comparison with a DSLR lens is absolutely relevant. DSLR lenses are expensive to produce and not all of that is the complexity of the appartatus. The components themselves are expensive thats a given. Not to mention, we don't know the exact specifications of the Oculus Lenses. All they have released is that they are a Hybrid Fresnel Lens. Comparing them to a high end DSLR (the lens itself, not the entire apparatus) just gives us an approximate quality value as more than the 4$ they value MISC as @LAwLz likes to point out is where the lenses are conveniently placed in the price breakdown. The overall point aside, no one aside from oculus knows how much they specifically cost to produce. The point of my comment was that the IHS study/breakdown loses credibility by not factoring in one of the more complex, unique parts that allows the Oculus to produce a fairly high quality VR experience for a very new technology. tl;dr they are closer in price to a DSLR lense than the 4$ other individuals claim

After the interview someone brought up the same thing. While the complexity is a factor in DSLR lenses of which there are anywhere from 2-5 in a unit, a large portion of the cost is still the lense itself.
