    Snipergod87 got a reaction from Kalm_Traveler in Windows Updates for home network - is WSUS + regmod each PC the best way?   
    A steam cache server can do it AFAIK, and Windows will automatically share the updates over the network if allowed to.
    I advise against WSUS for a small setup as the sheer amount of disk space it needs its tremendous, some patch tuesdays our work WSUS server would try and download 1.3TB of patches, no joke.

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from Gorgoroth in Bought WD Red   
    Shouldn't be an issue really, there might be a restocking fee though.
    I have been running WD RED drives for years, out of 14 drives, 1 failed after 3+ years of 24/7 use.  Most of them are in my NAS, two of them are in my server, which serves up multimedia content over the network.  Been extremely reliable.
     
    Also IIRC the Blues have a much shorter warranty than the RED's as well.

    Its firmware is tuned for NAS environments but will work fine in a desktop

    Snipergod87 reacted to Lurick in [Help] How do I block anonymous/unknown callers on Android 9 ?   
    You can turn on the options under:
    Under Phone > Settings > Caller ID & Spam
    Should be two options, turn them on
     
    Depending on your phone provider they can offer the option to block anonymous and unknown callers as well so they won't eve hit your phone.

    You would send a normal text message, iMessage is IOS only.  Messaging isn't any easier or harder with normal texting, its the same.
     
    The same as an iPhone user being able to call an android user or anybody else.

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from Firewrath9 in In-wall ethernet wiring   
    Going to want a crimper, a decent one there are alota crappy ones, and some RJ45 termination blocks to connect to the switch at the other end if the cable is not going into a punch down block.
    Probably a cheap tool just to check connectivity of each individual wire as well make sure the connections are good.
    Going to want ethernet keystone jacks in the 3 different rooms to run the wires to as well as well as their face plates.

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from mxk in Solutions to develop future processors for CS:GO and onward   
    You're never going to get a processor designed for FPS gaming, market isnt there for the R&D.  Also what if one CPU was good as CS:GO and was trash at say fortnight, very few people would buy it.
    As it currently stands Intel has the lead in performance in titles where games are CPU bound like CS:GO.
    Instead of trying to get a custom processor its far easier to try and get software companies to optimize there games.

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from lieder1987 in is there a way to connect a dvd/ bluray carousel to a pc to use as data storage, even if it was read only?   
    Not unless the device was intended to be hooked up to a computer via a USB port or something of the sort.
    The carousel would also need to be blueray compatible, many I have seen over the years are CD only as it was meant for a music library.

    Snipergod87 reacted to micash41 in Floatplane: Add a buffer between top of video and search bar.   
    Every time that I watch a video on Floatplane I naturally will scroll my mouse wheel up. This is because as I am looking at the video player it appears as though the video may be getting cutoff. I know that I am not actually losing any image but its a weird look IMO to have the top of the video player directly against the search bar. Maybe consider adding just a few pixels of buffer to ease my insanity. I made used dev options to see what it would look like with 5px between the video and search bar and I think it is much better looking, but you could get away with even less. First image is with buffer (my version) , second image is without buffer(current version)

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from Fasauceome in GPU socket instead of PCI-E slots   
    People have brought this up alot in the past, memory in your PC is exponentially slower than VRAM, so using the same memory on a GPU would hugely impact performance.  I would have to be a different type of memory which would probably be expensive due to lack of demand.
    There are other concerns as well like compatibility, physically fitting the modules etc.

    Snipergod87 reacted to minibois in Moving CPU’s between Motherboards   
    That motherboard is AM3, the CPU is AM3+.
    Some AM3 boards support AM3+ CPU's, but looking at the CPU support list for your board; the FX 6300 is not on that list:
    https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_IV_FORMULA/HelpDesk_CPU/
     
    You can try updating the BIOS, since this list is just what Asus has tested, but there are no guarantees of it working on that board

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from wONKEyeYEs in m.2 cooling necessary?   
    More often than not these "heatsinks" end up trapping heat from graphics cards and heating the SSD's, so they are mostly useless only for looks.
    NAND is fine and performs better being hot, the controller though is the complete opposite.
    Unless you are constantly writing and reading to the SSD hard all day long a heatsink that actually removes heat wont do anything as you wont hit throttle temps.
     
    Samsung NVMe SSD's and some others actually have a super thin layer of copper on the sticker which is enough to deal with the heat for 99.9% of use cases.

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from TekkyTG in Fluorescent Lights Interfering with my Internet   
    Time to live, not important for this test.
    So the issue is not your ethernet, but the line leaving your modem.  However that is being routed through your house probably has it close to the lighting, and may not be easy to change
     
    I am assuming it is Coax (cable), it may not affect TV's due to different frequencies being used.
     
    I only really see a few good options
    Replace fluorescent with LEDs (since its a business there may be a discount from the state or what not)
    Change the route the coax cables goes (might not be possible)
    If the coax cable isn't already shielded then get one that is shielded, but I have seen even quad shielded coax cables get plenty of interference.
    Move the modem to a different coax connection to see if any better (but unlikely)

    Snipergod87 got a reaction from TekkyTG in Fluorescent Lights Interfering with my Internet   
    Only thing i can think of are shielded cables, you can try shielding the cable(s) from your comptuer to your router and modem only first.
    Another thing to be concerned about is if it is coax internet shielding on that, some coax lines are quad shielded, some are not, but it could also be far enough away from the lights that it doesn't matter.
     
    Alternatively change the fluorescent lights to LED, I believe they have ones that work with ballasts if you are using the tubes.  You can suggest that to your parents as saving energy as well.  You could also try and get them to start off small and just doing the areas where the networking is close by.
