FakeNSA

NGL I log into the forum every couple of days, read everyone's status updates, and try to catch up on this thread (y'all be posting to much for me to be 100% caught up though).
 
I don't think I've actually been active active in over a year though: just too much going on anymore.

Non Techies + the H Word => Confusion 100

I was the idiot today: I killed two PoE injectors because of a faulty switch.
I picked up a D-Link 5-port PoE switch from ewaste recently, wasn't receiving power on the PoE injector I had. I picked up two new ones and tried with those. One of the PoE injectors tried to deliver power, failed, then stopped working altogether - the other, well, shot sparks when connected to the switch. That one is also now dead. 
Maybe the burned LAN port on the switch should've been a clue that something was off?

I owned an M&P AR when they first got to market, sold it at one point to fund other stuff. I built my current AR a few years back, started with a matched Wilson Combat receiver set and picked-out everything over a few months time; It’s much more rewarding to piece something together, and it is more accurate than the factory rifle I had.

Started my first AR build today. It'll come slowly, but I'm piecing together an upper, paycheck by paycheck. Should have it done by the end of the year, or shortly after the new year.
 
Contrary to what my above post may imply, I'm opting for 5.56 instead of .350 Legend.
 
In terms of price, it should come out to More Expensive Than My Current Rifle, which is partly why I'm not buying all at once. I also like the idea of having a rifle that I picked all the parts of and assembled myself. Should be fun!
 
Today I ordered the barrel from our boys at Faxon Firearms because early holiday sales go hard. Not sure what order I'll buy the rest of the parts in, but I'll figure that out.

My Dogs lay on the Blankets the majority of the time than in their Dog Beds of which they have 4:


 
At night Jaba either sleeps in her dedicated Dog Bed or on the Couch, and she has always done that. While Jessie used to sleep in my Brothers Bed with my Brother. But ever since he moved out in 2021 she now rarely comes upstairs and lays down on his Bed which he left behind just for her. Nowadays Jessie just sleeps in the living room on the tile floor directly lol.

On an unrelated note: I just shot my first 22 pistol match (the entry level steel match at my club), and I'm hooked! (I have an SR22, and the combo of 10rd mags and gawdawful trigger.... didn't help my admittedly lackluster skill).
 
This, of course, activated the "poor financial decisions" part of my brain, and I am constantly scrolling past listings for the P322/TX22 (although I'm leaning towards the P322).
 
Now I've just got to wait for the MVD to ship my updated license, so the address matches :(.

I have a Taurus TX22 competition and it's a hilariously amazing pistol. The competition version is just better overall in my opinion for various reasons, to include how open the chamber is when you're +200 rounds in a range session and there's enough carbon buildup to start causing issues with any .22lr handgun. Better meets the use-case of a competition/range .22lr handgun.
 
On top of the barrel mounted optics system, threaded barrel (which I have a Witt Machine SME 5.56 muzzle device on) 3 factory magazines, amazing trigger, its hard to argue against. I use Recover Tactical's picatinny rail and holster system for it since finding a holster would otherwise be a nightmare, which I've modified one to accept Safariland style QD by simply drilling a lower hole with a self threaded bolt.

I've had it go through whole boxes of 500 aguila without a single failure.

While I understand the community frustration around working with companies with less than exceptional employee records, my main concern with sponsors is, as always, if the content is misleading.
If LTT was sponsored to walk around a DC and show everyone's (forced) smiling faces, that would be one thing: however, if you were using the sponsorship as a vehicle to show off cool tech or facilitate other interesting content (like IETU), I don't think there is any problem with it.
 
If a consumer chooses to use Amazon as a result of the sponsorship, they will be treated well by their service/support (at least in my experience), so promoting them doesn't seem to come into conflict with the ethical standards that LTT has previously established.

OP, I think the way you talk about "memory " is different from what most people do, hence the confusion. It may also be the reason why you don't find what you're looking for in some OC software.
 
So, to clarify: the reference 1050 Ti has a memory clock speed of 1752 MHz, which translates into 7 Gbps "effective speed". That is ~ 4 x 1752 MHz, indeed.
However, when you say "+2000 memory" people interpret it as a 2000MHz increase in the memory clock speed which, of course, ain't happening (that would mean 3752 MHz, for an effective speed of 15 Gbps). Instead, what you are hinting at is an increase in effective speed of 2 Gbps which, as others have stated, is a 500Mhz increase in the memory clock speed, as shown in GPU-Z.

That would be a very low severity, so, no action.

They won't discuss Madison's issues in a video. There's far too much legal red tape around those accusations. 

The part where it is alleged LTT auctioned off a prototype water block they promised to return is troubling. That requires an official response.

You mean to tell me you watched a 44 minute video in less than 10 minutes?

What happened?
When I opened the forum I got the following warning in Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office.
Domain does not appear to resolve a site / content or is down, makes LTT appear "infected" by a Malicious website.
 

 
Opened the browser console to confirm the domain / image was called from the forum, and it was.  That domain is referenced in an ad block, seen in screen shots below.
 

 
 
 
What did you expect to happen?
For LTT forum to not throw "malware" warning with a sketchy dead domain 😉

If it's a cloudflare error, what was the ray ID from the bottom of the error page?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention 

Just wait until the Backstreet Boys announce their 2024 tour dates. The Vancouver date is usually on the same weekend as LTX

Hi peeps, I’m new to the forum but not to the hobby. Check out my newest and now favorite gun. It’s an AP5 sbr with a rugged obsidian .45 on a tri lug mount. Has to be one of the most fun setups possible. 

Fair enough.  I can certainly relate to that.
 
On an unrelated note, Nebraska has passed LB77 which is our Constitutional Carry bill.  The plan is for it to be signed next week, and it will go into effect 90 days after the session ends (so mid-to-late September).

Picked up that Cannon in February lol and this new Kel-Tec KS7 tonight - love me some things that go bang

I'm jealous.
 
The "range" I go to is property owned by some relatives, but they don't trust me to shoot on their property without supervision(understandable) so if schedules don't line up with them, I don't get to go shooting 😞
Another relative of mine was Navy UDT back in the day, and he gave me most of the shooting instruction I've received. It's a combination of having a family member who taught me and me teaching myself because both eyes open just makes more sense.

I feel bad for people who have to go to ranges. This is a 10 minute drive from my house.

Legally, I can shoot in my backyard, but like to keep it to lower power rifles and shotguns. The spot above you can shoot at that berm I'm standing on to take the picture from near the road and be about 100 yards. If you shoot across the valley from the berm you can get to well past 1600m. 
 
I picked up a new Glock 17 gen 5 last days off. In winter it'll replace my gen 3 23 as my conceal carry, and in summer it'll just live in the truck. Also been playing with the idea of getting a suppressor. My hunting rifles are my main priority to suppress (Remmington 700 in 6.5 Creedmoor for most animals, and an AR10 in .308 for larger) but if I can get one that would also work on my AR15 I'd be tickled pink. 
Who trained you to do that? Usually that means your a family member of someone who has used a M68 CCO or you have yourself.

Field notes would be boring in North Dakota.  How many pages can you write “sugar beets” on?🤡
