  1. When video playback happens in chrome it over saturates the video to be unwatchable. Don't have this issue with Firefox. I've tried resetting everting I can. Running a RTX 3070 and a LG Ultragear 32GK850G 31.5' GSync 144Hz 1440p IPS.
  2. I put an RMA in for a MSI B550i Gaming Edge Wifi ITX motherboard a month ago due to the BIOS chip failing during an update. Jays2cents made a video about this issue but sadly didn't see it until it was too late. Everything went smoothly until my RMA number stopped working on the website to track it. Called MSI service center in CA, USA; they took a while to even find my RMA request but did eventually. Sometime during the process of them receiving it they added extra characters to my RMA #. Once they found it I was assured everything was going smoothly and that a replacement was ready to be shipped out the next day, Great. Today Comes and I received a M-ATX motherboard instead of a ITX. It's a B550M Pro-VDH WIFI a cheaper board with less features on top if it being the wrong formfactor. Called MSI back immediately. They said they don't know how something like that could ever happen because they have to reachout the verify if they don't have stock of the board. Which of course they didn't reachout by email or phone. Asked them to overnight the replacement and they said I would have to send the one back first, ok makes sense. Asked to at least have the replacement I can't use either overnighted or express shipped back to them to help the process along faster. Not an unreasonable request since it wasn't my fault. They flatout refused, and offered standard ground shipping. They then told me I have to go through the entire RMA process again. So I'll be waiting a week for the board to ship back from the east coast to CA,USA . I then have to wait 3-4 weeks for them to find a replace it then ship it out and wait another week. So it's been a month with no PC and I still have to wait another month for MSI to send me a new one. Definitely won't buy a MSI product again. I'm no stranger to RMA process and I can say this is by far the worst one I've even had. More than likely sell my replacement and buy a new ITX board at this point, 2 months with no PC due to laziness at the RMA center is unacceptable.
  3. Oh its a pre-built, It's probably the fact that you cloned the drive. Cloning drives in known to have notorious issues.
  4. The UEFI probably didn't have the MBR set to the correct drive since you swapped it. Secure boot wont see it and will not boot.
  5. Not so much, It's just filling the memory up then computing it. It's not constantly using that bandwidth like a game would. Mining rigs almost always run off PCI-E 1x for this reason, they want density for compute power. My 1080 Hybrid is only using 700MB right now F@H.
  6. Sounds like a good prize to me. Help somebody out with a NAS and/or media server project.
  7. Ubiquiti has a 10G switch that's $600 now. It has 4 10Gbps Base-T and 12 SFP+ 10G ports. While it is 3x more expensive than the Asus switch it does have 14 more 10Gbps ports. https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgeswitch-16-xg/ https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1267265-REG/ubiquiti_networks_es_16_xg_edgeswitch_16_10g.html
  8. Load balancing does not combine internet for double speed. I splits up the traffic to each WAN line. You can set it up so it exclusively sends a device to one line or the other. This is the only way you're going to be able to have the two PCs on the same LAN while having to different WAN lines.
  9. You'll have to build a pfsense box to do load balancing for the internet connection. Then just put the third router in the same DHCP pool/subnet as the main router.
  10. A2 is the best for easy setup if you have some technical knowledge otherwise Squarespace if you want everything done for you.
  11. HD 4000 IIRC on laptops is limited to 1900x1200 at 60Hz via HDMI. It also depends which version of HDMI 1.4 it is. Just 1.4, 1.4a, or 1.4b.
  12. Pretty much the same idea here; just a differnet GUI. http://www.podfeet.com/blog/tutorials-5/how-to-configure-verizon-fios-router-to-give-network-control-to-airport-extreme/
  13. If your router is plugged into theirs then you have to double NAT the network so you can use yours in conjunction with theirs. Otherwise clone the MAC of their Actiontec and plug in yours in place of it with the same WAN config.
  14. Find somebody that cast resin locally and contact them. It shouldn't be too expensive since you're not using a ton of resin.
  15. The glass has to be molten so that wouldn't work. You could get some resin and cast it yourself. But honestly for what you'll be spending on all the resin you're better off getting someone to do it locally. Not to mention that it's a pain to get bubbles out without a pressure chamber.
  16. You can plug them directly into each other with a cross-over cable or manually assign static IPs on a dumb/smart switch as there's no DHCP. Otherwise you need a layer 3 device with DHCP for auto config.
  17. Get a phone line splitter and run a cable to your room. Then just get the cheapest phone with caller ID.
  18. I never said it was for the faint of heart. But if this got enough traction then it could become a cheap service with consumer routers starting to support it. Just like how DDNS became a thing on consumer hardware.
  19. With OpenBSD you can build it from the ground up quite easily.
  20. Well it's not really bonding (link aggregation). But rather a VPN router that splits the packets then forwards it to the server. Honestly you could do this with a pfSense box and your own VPS for a hell of a lot cheaper. My guess is that after somebody in the pfSense community sees this video they'll build an open source solution. Rendering iTel pretty useless except for the people who have more money than brains and can be bothered to setup something.
  21. Are they IP based? If so then it's just a matter of concurrent streams going through the NIC. You'll probably want a quad Intel NIC with fail over setup to a switch. Also data retention would also be a larger issue to look at if you haven't already.
  22. Wifi repeaters are a last resort when it comes to wireless. They have to repeat so you'll already be using two of the three non overlapping 2.4GHz channels. Couple that with the fact that most neighbors aren't knowledgeable in this field and will just throw their router on whatever channel isn't being used thinking it will make things better. Thus overlapping and causing interference on channels 1 & 6 or 6 & 11. Then 99% consumer routers don't have things like air time fairness so bandwidth is garbage even if your link speed says it's 300Mbps. Also those cheap $20 extenders are only $20 because they're shit. They spew noise into the spectrum because they're designed without proper filtering on the output and/or the chips are garbage. The better option is putting in an AP with an EIRP to maximum legal limit for PtMP (depends on which country you reside in) with proper firmware to taking into account what's happening around it. Just getting something like a $80 UBNT UniFi AP Lite will likely solve a lot of issues.
  23. Private Internet Access is by far the best and fastest.
  24. While you can use any distro (don't use aircrack in windows) it's easier to just use Kali due to WiFite doing it better than any person new to this ever could.
  25. Boot Kali Linux on a USB drive on a laptop or desktop and make sure you have a compatible wireless card. You can use wifite if you don't want to learn how to use the aircrack-ng suite.
