    well thats not really true, video games are part of the problem. the stem of the problem is our own reward center. loads of things can be addicting, some things are made to be really rewarding and thus addicting. like drugs, music, tv, games, casino's. all things exploiting that easy reward for money. i don't think we can pinpoint it on one thing, in the end society as a whole is responsible for the situation because we all contribute to it in our own way's.

    yea i know, for some people it kinda makes sense, but it still is pretty gimmicky. but most people have a consistent 9 to 5 schedule. also its better to maintain temperature when away for an hour or two then to disable (for boilers atleast). they are more efficient on a constant load .

    normal thermostats have advanced scheduling. my parents have had one for years, program by the minute what temperature you want on what day of the year. cost 40 bucks. and like i said, niche situation. not gonna buy a 250 bucks thermostat and more on wifi cameras for that one or two times a year we forget to ask someone to water our plants or something like that. its a cool gadget, but its totally a gimmick.

    in what niche situation would i want to do that and how does it justify the price premium.
  5. tlink
    that problem was tackled years before any smart thermostat came around. simple RF controls.

    remote thermostats have been around for ages, ya know remote control was a thing before wifi.

    i honestly don't see the appeal to this over just a normal thermostat that isn't connected to the internet.

    the minecraft brand is incredibly valuable, you can influence basically 90% of the kids next gen consumers directly via it.

    remember kids, this plan never worked and the FCC overstepped its jurisdiction and thats what its all about. totally not about the way this is done or the underlying reasoning that nobody as far as I've heard agrees with yet. /s

    since the software is so specialized they should also consult with the client and ask if they still have a contact with the developer of the software and ask the dev what instructionset it uses, i would still test it on the actual hardware though. just an extra layer of security and dedication that the client notices.

    yea, this. if it uses instruction sets that are much better on intel than probably fuck threadripper.

    we're not sure yet since it isn't released yet. its just around the corner, august i believe is the launch date. even if the heat output is much worse, it has much much more cores for a lower price. ryzen is the go-to platform for core's, threadripper will be too. 16 core cpu will cost 1000$ vs 16 cores i9 for 1700$. it is probably a little behind in clocks per instructions but the vast price difference should make it worth it.
  14. tlink
    why do they prefer i9 over threadripper? is it better optimized for intel and single core performance?
  15. tlink
    by then next gen nvidia will be out sadly.

    then gg it worked out, at my parents we had a similar situation but even after tidying up it had problems with packet drops and stuff like that, maybe it was close to a powerline or something.

    the cables are twisted for a reason, in the picture they are not twisted but in a knot. this will increase crosstalk, especially when they all are in a knot like that, its basically a messy coil generating an magnetic field of cross talk and instability.

    youtube subscriptions broken for anyone else?

    i don't think you will reach 100mbit with that clusterfuck of wires. if you want a good stable connection i recommend running a new proper wire trough it, but maybe this will work fine who knows. those wires look crusty, old and uninsulated unshielded. what does it say on the grey insulation? what cat version is it?

    looks really nice and stylized.

    im not sure, i don't think a gaming server takes up that much bandwidth right? i never bothered to check because bandwidth is dirt cheap here.

    svchost.exe

    tlink replied to Walt's topic in Windows

    its a hotspot for virusses, its a system program that hosts a bunch of things windows needs to do in the background. do some virus scans, malwarebytes etc. don't worry though, might be a simple windows glitch or something.

    i found this free service, im always suspicious of free stuff like this but since it isn't any valuable data going through it it shouldn't be a problem to try. 6project.org
