Hey guys, so for a few weeks my brothers Monitor has this issue where it flickers like crazy when turning on the power strip that powers it. It goes on for usually a few minutes, where the display turns black and back on once or twice a second. Cables and hdmi ports on the gpu have been swapped inbetween monitors, without any results. So it seems to be the monitor itself... The monitor is an LG M45HQ-B. If you have any recommendations on how to fix this, please let me know Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, I recently wanted to upgrade my primary Monitor, a BENQ Gl2450. I decided a 27" 144hz 1440p panel was the sweet spot for what I needed (photo- and videoediting and gaming (mostly csgo and rainbow6)). I can't go for an ultrawide, since my desk is too small. Unfortunately the monitor I decided on is out of stock here (germany) pretty much everywhere: https://eu.aoc.com/en/gaming-monitors/cq27g2u-bk Do you have any recommendations for alternatives? I cannot find any decent models, that are at a somewhat similar price point... I've been looking at the LG 27GL850, but costs a good 80€ more and bears the risk of hoorible ips glow. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your answer. Plex sounds really nice, but you have to constantly have your PC running if you want to access the data. Is there another cheap method which is always accessible? I have an old PC that is not used anymore, so I could just install Plex on it and have it running 24/7 right?

Hi, so my father is looking for a Nas/home server for his data such as photos, movies, etc. SInce i have no idea about servers and all that kind of stuff, I thought I might ask you for help What kind of Server connection would you recommend? After reading myself through some posts I think it would be convenient to have a VPN, so you can access the data from everywhere. Is it cheaper to build the Server yourself or to just go ahead and purchase a NAS (any recommendations are welcome)? Thanks in advance

Personally, i would love to have money My budget is more made for MS Paint ^^ Thanks for the advice tho

Unfortunately I don't have the time to do that... And I mostly want to get rid of the blurr around the edges that appear when printing such a small .jpeg in A4...

Hey guys, I have a .jpeg that is fairly low quality (309x401px) that is mostly lines and so on (no photo of anything). Is there any program to make it bigger while keeping a decent quality? It would also be fine for me if it just makes the picture bigger so I can then later correct the edges in paint (which is highly professional software btw). Thanks in advance

I would suggest to go for a soundcard and n nice pair of headphones. I personally use the Asus Xonar DX and can recommend it. As for headphones you should check out the Audio guide of this threat.

Thanks for your help but do you really think we would need 5 of them? Wouldn't 1 or 2 be enough at first since for the beginning we expect ~100 people use the system per hour. I am not an expert but that doesn't sound like too much stress for 2 of these server. Also even if it would take a few seconds for the order to be checked and processed, it would still be fine. We will have the money to upgrade further after 2-3 years (if it works :D)

In what country was that? Because the laws differ from country to country. Also we already talked to a programmer and he said it would cost ~30.000€ to programm the apps and the server's programm.

Thanks! We have to watch our budget (50k € total, and that includes someone to program the App and so on), but we will definetly consider it

In Germany it is already possible for a patient to go to a pharmacy and show them your prescribtion and if the pharmacy doesn't have the required medicine in stock, they order it and deliver it to your house around 4h later (via a transport system by each own pharmacy). Our idea is to make that first step via an App, so that you wouldn't have to go to the pharmacy to order it. You would scan your prescribtion with your smartphone and the App checks if it is in stock at your local pharmacy (If not it orders the meds). Ether way you will have it delivered in 1-4 hours. The courier of the pharmacy could then bring the invoice with the medicine. I hope that answered you questions on the idea?

We thought of that, too, but unfortunately we might run into a problem with privacy when it comes to clouds... We will have to figure that out first. But if it is possible, that might be the best solution.

Thanks for your help do you have any idea what that would cost? I am pretty new to servers and stuff ^^

Hey guys, so my friends and I take part in a competition in which we have to work out a start-up company. For our idea (an App that improves the dialogue between a pharmacy and its customers) we need a server to house information on the customers and their former orders (which have to be saved as a photo of the prescription for ~48h and can be deleted afterwards). Pharmacies from all over Germany would have to reach these data (or every pharmacy gets its own server, we don't really know what's best). Long story short: We need a server! So would you recommend one big server for all pharmacies together or one for each pharmacy? We are leaning towards multiple servers so that the pharmacies would have to rent them and pay extra money ^^ (yes we are evil) And how much would these different servers cost? They don't need to be extremely fast. Thanks for your help (and you won't help an evil company, since this is just an idea. So don't worry about that )
