  1. Headset mics are almost always garbage, as they're merely a checkbox on a feature list, and not a major selling point. If you need a good microphone you should invest in a real microphone and possibly a boom arm and interface. Don't buy the crappy Blue mics, they're overpriced consumer trash. I suggest looking on Thomann or a dedicated audio equipment retailer.
  2. Yeah kinda weird. My ISP doesn't require specific credentials for PPPoE, they just require you to put something in, anything will work. Why not just use regular DHCP?
  3. I'm referring mainly to when they test out networking equipment, like the fiber run to the lab and the dish antennas before that.
  4. This seems like a no-brainer. Using SMB is a terrible way to measure network performance as it has many bottlenecks such as drive speed and filesystem limitations.
  5. The most affordable and flexible solution is to buy generic routers that are well supported by OpenWRT, and set up a mesh network yourself. Look through the table of ideal hardware and see what's available to you and for what price. I suggest not buying anything too old, especially not for your main router. For the other nodes you can use APs instead of router hardware. Of course you can also get used hardware and flash it with OpenWRT. Myself I use a Netgear R7800 as my main router and 3 WAC104 access points. For meshing them use this guide.
  6. Bluetooth causes a lot of delay so don't do it.
  7. Well it was from Amazon.de sold by Western Digital but the packing was by Amazon. The drive was just bare.
  8. Well a plastic bag and some bubble wrap is insufficient for such an expensive drive. Not even a box or anything. And it's a mailbox size package so it dropped through the mailbox. Amazon definitely cheaped out on packaging. Definitely not worth the damages on their side.
  9. I returned it and got a refund
  10. So I am building a surveillance server for my security cameras and I needed a hard drive. I thought I'd get a WD purple from Amazon.de since it was the cheapest but that was a stupid mistake. When I got home it was dropped through the mailbox in just 2 layers of bubble wrap in a plastic bag. Not even a solid box. When I plugged it in this is what I heard: (Don't mind the crappy video) It was detected once in Ubuntu server as "8TB no media" and never again. Thanks Amazon. Don't buy HDD's on Amazon.
