Yeah, so you can basically just get a multi-port USB charger and plug your 5V 0.5-1.5A electronics into it. So I've got two HDMI switches, a Philips Hue bridge, the OSSC, a Super Nt, Genesis Mini, Raspberry Pi 3, Google Home Mini, and probably other stuff that can all just be powered off a single charger. All you need for devices that don't have a USB port is a barrel plug cable (and adapter to whatever size plug you need if it's not 5.5x2.1mm). I've got a few of these and an Anker PowerPort 10 in my Amazon cart for use in the new setup . Reduces the number of wall plugs from "fill a surge protector" down to 1, and you only have one AC-DC converter to worry about as far as power efficiency goes.
 
EDIT: Oh yeah, and cables exist for things like charging a 3DS and a WiiU Tablet Controller via USB as well.

Same problem here..

Same. I noticed in the pop up it does not list advanced access in the OG plan. I really hope this is a bug and they didn’t just remove that for long time supporters. 

I went there a little over an hour ago and there was a video for the spouse build listed but it was locked even though I was a subscriber, I just figured it was a glitch. I just tried to go there now and when I try to load the LTT channel it just gives me  an empty space where the videos are supposed to be. I tried on my PC and my Mac, is it doing this for anyone else?

Hello all,
Just wondering if anybody else is having issues with Floatplane?
For example the later video Yvonne Vs Wifey Sauce is locked and just says I need to subscribe to view this video.
 
I've uploaded an image below.

Didn't get auto billed for this months floatplane, cant access the forum page or repurchase my subscription through floatplane.com, just getting a "whoop's something went wrong, try again later error" after clicking purchase. Who do I talk to get this resolved?

Even if it is a bug, why is there no official communication from the Floatplane team about it? Why is there no contact form on the website of Floatplane? If you disable embed video for the forum, why should I be on the forum to get support? Same thing about subscription, there are now on the website.
 
I know even if a watch religiously the WAN Show, I won't have the full story of news about Floatplane. The only absolute thing is something will get better soon™
 
I get it, it's a big project, the number one priority is getting video to the audience in a wonderful quality as fast as possible on the entire planet. But since the website is up, as a customer and fan, I have not seem many change to the website (The star are not align for me to watch live content and there is no archive of it). I get it, I only pay 3$ for video content, but can I have incite about the whole project in alpha?
 
I'm disappointed to have lost my access to the forum, the only official communication of Floatplane. But it's remind me, I don't know anything anymore about this big vessel ( ? pun)

Since the shutdown of Vessel, the foundation of the Floatplane initiative has three years to figure everything out. I think it's time for a former way of communication and a roadmap of the website. Losing the access to the forum without any sort warning or message is kinda rude and rough for the long time supporter ?
 
And there is no official way to contact the floatplane support, so what can i do?
 
Clearing the cache of my web browser didn't change my lose access to Floatplane Forum.

Is the Floatplane forum still up?
I get error when I open https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/91-lmg-floatplane/
Sorry, there is a problem
We could not locate the item you are trying to view.
Error code: 2F176/1

also a couple site to test surround to see how you have it set to be able to hear

Budget?

if the game supports surround, and you have your set up set right, 5.1 sounds awesome in games. even if the game doesnt support surround it will still sound good coming from the front 3.
but it all depends on the set up
your room set up is a little challenging, to switch the sound system from one to the other, you'd have to actually move and adjust speakers. i would almost have to say the tv gets the main system (movies, shows and some gaming from couch) but your comp area considering the small area, a second, small set up or just keep it with headphones.
 

The Schiit EU site ships from the Netherlands (or at least it used to)
I would recommend you order from the EU site. Not only will the shipping be faster, but you'll avoid dealing with import fees and VAT.
 
If you order from the US, it usually take 2-3 weeks to arrive in Europe.

What's up with this?
 
That isn't 1080p, the intro and outro were fine at 1080p but almost the entire video was like that, Crome, Firefox and even on a galaxy S5 it wast like that, is it just me or GabeN hates me?

I don't know many TVs with a 4ms response time...

I think I got everything... if you have any questions, ask below

The first step is to decide what you want your setup to be, as you'll need to know how many parts to order. There is a few different options, and once you've chosen, click on the parts list for your respective setup.
 
1. Single Camera w/o hub server
Parts list: Pros Least expensive setup Cons Lower attainable FPS/res 2. Single Camera w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
Parts list: Pros allows for future expandability higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons costs more (you have to buy a second Raspi) 3. Multiple Cameras w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
Parts list: Pros higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons cost (lol, 2 cameras + hub is still cheaper than a Nest cam) 4. Multiple cameras w/ a desktop computer as a hub
This is a setup that you can build, but I haven't investigated it yet, so stay tuned on this.  
My recommendation is to have a hub server regardless of the number of cameras to ensure the best possible image quality, but if your budget doesn't permit, a single camera w/o a hub server can still work decently.

I won't advice deleting system folders manually.
You could try to clean with Disk Cleanup.
Right click on your main drive, and click Disk Cleanup.
After that click "Clean up system files".
Select anything big from the selection box and then click OK.
In my case Windows Update and Previous Windows installation takes the most space.
 
If that's not enough, right click on system disk and select treesize.
Examine the the folders that takes up the most space.
Usually programs stores temporary files in c:\users\yourname\appdata\...
Sometimes when a program is not properly closed or crashed, it leaves a big chunk of temp files.
These files must be deleted manually as Disk Cleanup ignores program files / not related to system.
 

1: Either disable or move the page file from your C:\ drive

Right click the my computer icon, select properties, select advanced system settings, hit settings in the performance tab, then the advanced tab, then hit change under virtual memory

Untick automatically manage page file for all drives and make sure you set no paging file on drive C:\


2: If you do not use the hibernation feature in windows you can free up a huge amount of space

Open a cmd prompt (as administrator) and type the following, then hit Enter

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

That will save you at least 7-10GB of space on the SSD

If you ever want to re-enable hibernation open a cmd prompt (as administrator) and type the following, then hit enter

powercfg.exe /hibernate on

Thanks!

Thats alot of crap in that installer folder, I am pretty sure that is not entirely normal.
There are tools to designed to clean this folder out safely (more or less).
 
But you could probably copy this stuff to a flash drive and start deleting all those msp files
If you try and manually delete them, I would personally first start by backing them up temporarily, then deleting them.
But honestly, you might not want to delete them willy nilly however, and instead use a tool designed to check this folder for you and delete what is unnecessary (just in case).
 
Off the top of my head I cant think of any tools, but from my first google search, I am find a tool called patch cleaner, that is mentioned many times, even on a microsoft support site.
It might be worth a shot.
http://www.homedev.com.au/free/patchcleaner

I think you need to run something that is going to tell us what the usage is in the individual windows folders.
 
Lets say you have a ton of updates that were installed, but something happened to the permissions or whatever, and now they are jammed up for what ever reason and cannot be deleted.
 
They might show up on this list as system files, but in reality they need to be deleted.
I think we need more detail then this list in order to determine this.
 
We might need you to run something that can tell us the size in the individual folders, for us to diagnose a more specific problem like this.
I am going to recommend still running something like the tools that were listed, to determine the size of all the folders.
 
Right now, what we see with this is a list of sizes based off what windows believes is system or temporary files.
When in fact it might be confused over what is actually system related and what WAS (used to be) a system file, but in reality is no longer needed and thus it is getting stored for no reason
Which as a result could be causing your 70 gigs of windows installation/system files.
 
The only way to diagnose the above scenario, is to start by figuring out what folders are eating up all that space, and then figuring out what those folders are used for and how crucial they are to the integrity of windows..
 

Do you actually mean the C:\Windows directory or the hard drive?
 
Go to the properties of your system drive and use disk clean-up firstly. You should be able to select "clean-up system files" once you're in there and then remove crap in the list.

If you download and run WinDirStat it will scan your SSD and tell you exactly what is using space and how much.
 
There is also TreeSizeFree.

a list of folders inside Windows aka a screenshot made with TreeSize, WinDirStat or other tools showing the folder size would be helpful.
 
TreeSize looks like this (i cropped the image):

The smaller size of every folder is it's space used on the disk after stuff like NTFS compression/compact compressed some of it. Especially the WinSXS Folder can show up really weird in some tools because Microsofts does some compatibility magic to keep a copy of every .DLL file on your PC. If you never used Windows pre-Vista you wouldn't know the trouble of installing a game that needs a DLL but another game wants the DLL to be older.
 
 
Maybe it's just a stray temp folder or a logfile gone horribly wrong. (had this happend with Steam creating multiple log entries per second and creating a >10gig log file in the install directory (and filling the SSD, crashing everything)

don't just delete everything big ...
 
Use the Windows tools first and clean anything else later. run cleanmgr as an admin (saves the second run scanning system files too)
 
Mark everything and wait till it's finished.
 
Now check via one of the many tools to list the biggest folders. I like TreeSize (it's on the Store and a free version on the JAM software website)
 
One of the bigger folders i was surprised to see is
C:\Users\harakiwi\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player ( change harakiwi to your own local username )
I used NTFS compression on this media databases. Size depends on how many music/video files are known to Windows Media Player (maybe even Centre) in their default Windows folders.
 
You might have lots of saved games (depening on the games) located on your SSD. Was surprised to see how big some save games are... And their exist games downloading DLC to your C drive. Even if they are installed on another drive.
 

First 5 steps - if you know what you do! - can save lots of space: https://www.howtogeek.com/173713/6-ways-to-free-up-hard-drive-space-used-by-windows-system-files/
 
The System Restore can take up to 10% of your drive by default.
 
Depending on your PC usage you might disable the hibernation file and
 
set a limit to the swap (page) file. If you don't need it!
