My new MBP 16" with external displays connected pins at 18watt on the radeon GPU (clamshell or otherwise), previous MBP with radeon was at like 5w idle.. I left it overnight closed and "locked" (idle) so displays off, but radeon GPU had been running max wattage overnight, so laptop was toasty 70 degrees C when I came back this morning.. Short vid of the issue with istat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3vV1-CWMQg Any idea if LTT still has theirs and could test it ? I'm seeing multiple forum posts online with the issue now..

I have a Z1 Compact, improvements i would love: Better screen quality Front facing speakers, it's seriously bad if you hold your finger over the Z1. glass front and back (Z1 compact has plastic back) But i guess if you have dbranding on it you don't care anymore I would actually consider getting dbrand for mine instead of a case so i dont worry bout scratches. Edit: No Z1 Compact dbrand

Home servers, what OS are you all using and why?
pytte replied to MonkyBoy's topic in Operating Systems
get ubuntu or debian to install, then get owncloud and with some port forwarding you can access your box from anywhere. You can add torrent software etc if you need that via apt.. Here's the easiest way to install it in Debian: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud Little info bout Owncloud: http://owncloud.org/ For torrenting (if you do stuff like that ) I suggest http://www.transmissionbt.com/ And get Transmission Remote GUI https://code.google.com/p/transmisson-remote-gui/ To do easy remote management/adding to it. It can scan a folder for torrent files as well and auto add/start them. Benefit of all this is it's extremely lightweight .. windows has a huge gui to take care of that just swallows ram .. Debian server or Ubuntu server runs very lightweight and is VERY easy to google solutions for if your stuck. -
Many reasons, let me give you a scenario: You run 2 web servers, then you have a load balance server running in front of that. The load balancer throws requests to the 2 servers so the load can be increased. Additionally if you need to update the web server software you can take down 1 of the servers, update it, then shift to the other server. Same goes for database servers you might have a master and slave server, so you can do upgrades without downtime. The main reason why people do all this virtually is that it's REALLY easy to pop up new servers and auto install via orchestration software like Ansible or Puppet. You do not need to go out rewire new machine, rely on cabling to 20 machines etc. You simply have a dedicated VM to provision new machines easily. It's also cheaper to buy a bigass computer instead of 20 small computers, and alot more power efficient.

is there a reason why you wan't to run cmd line only ? It's great for a server environment, but why force yourself to do cli only otherwise? Get KDE, gnome or whatever window manager suits you and get the basic settings apps (network etc) you need.

If you spend alot of time at desktop (surfing, word, spreadsheet etc) then a 1440p would be nice to have even if your GPU will struggle in games.. But the upscaling of 1080p is not very pretty.. I run the Dell U2713HM at work on a lenovo X220 laptop with nothing but intel HD graphics, works perfectly in desktop mode. But dude, wait with monitors until g-sync is there with some competitive pricing.. At home on my gaming rig i still run 1080p monitors and am not gonna upgrade resolution anytime soon.
