  1. Reinstalling windows wouldnt do anything in the case that I described. The issue is the wireless router having UPNP enabled. The best thing to do is to call the ISP with the phone number on your bill (not the one from an email) and open a ticket.
  2. Lot of misinformation in this thread but I want to start off by asking what ISP are you with? Here in canada I once got a call from my cable ISP (Rogers) about a vulnerability in my network caused by UPNP. Your ISP could be detecting that some device on your network (most likely a wireless router) has UPNP enabled which flags them about a potential SSDP vulnerability (Simple Service Discovery Protocol). I would suggest calling the number on your bill and having a new service agent clarify the message followed by a potential dispatch of a technician.
  3. Wired is preferred when you can get it but I think many people on the forums exaggerate the issues with wireless networking. Sure there is more latency but if implemented correctly you shouldn't be able to notice at all. Get inssider office from metageek (its free for personal use) and make sure your wireless network isnt suffering from co-channel interference or shadowing. You get in what you get out so make sure your AP is located in an optimal place and that your wireless adapter is more than a USB stick.
  4. I was gonna quote myself when I explained multiseat enviornments to another user but your requirement on dual monitor fucks things up a lot. IO passthrough will be an immense challenge with 8 clients most importantly the video. To passthrough 16 different video outputs (1 for each display) requires a grid card which costs over 2000 bucks. Now factor in getting 8 unique sets of USB hubs, keyboards, mice, audio adapters and you are looking at a bowl of spaghetti. My personal recomendation is this: 1: Virtualize all 8 hosts in ESXI/Proxmox. 2: Get a cheap but reliable business laptop (T60 at the minimum but t420 or latitude equivalent are recommended) 3: Install your favorite linux distro and a package called NoMachine 4: Nomachine should stretch the desktop across the 2 monitors by default. You may want to get docking stations for those laptops so the laptop can stay folded and away. If you can get rid of that dual monitor requirement it gets super cheap and easy a bunch of VMs and a bunch of steam links set up to go to the desktop instead of big picture mode.
  5. I was clarifying that the low rider meetup in Ceazar Vilapando mission uses the numpad arrows but dancing like in Lifes a Beach mission or if you were to take a date out dancing uses the regular arrow keys. You are only required to date milie perkins (croupier from Caligulas Palace casino) but you can kill her on the 1st date and you can steal the card from her house. This may or may not require a phone call from Wu-Zi-Mu memory is a little vague on that detail.
  6. False, the dancing missions (Lifes a beach and if you were to take milie to a dance club instead of you know killing her) use WASD and the low rider meetup (Ceazar Vilapando) you use the numpad (8246 as UDLR) San Andreas: Assuming you only do the missions and dont do any duping or gang territory skip the world record is 6 hrs 7 mins 46 seconds by Flying. So you can assume to beat GTA SA all missions should take you around 10-12 hours with all the inefficiencies that come with not being a speedrunner. GTA3: Assuming you only do the missions and dont do any glitches the world record is 2 hrs 42 mins and 7 seconds by Anti. So you can assume it will take you around 4-5 hours.
  7. AMD and Nvidia are essentially the same, its just different groups of people are loyal to different brands. Performance wise I am sure an rx 580 with similar specs performs the same way as whatever the AMD equivalent would be. As far as stores go... there is ca.pcpartpicker.com for parts lists/price comparison and there is reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada for deals. Stores that canadians buy computer parts from: 1: Canada Computers 2: Memory Express 3: Mikes computer shop 4: Amazon 5: Newegg
  8. Do you own any of these parts now? Personally I would go with ryzen APU which fits your needs. There are AM4 mini-itx motherboards (you will have to do research to see if there is a BIOS update for the APU) and that will give you additional room to fit all your components. That also lets you leave that GPU at home or sell it before you leave to UNI. Your upgrade path from there could be moving your system into an ATX case, adding a ryzen 5/7 CPU and discrete graphics. Alternatively you can go for the team optiplex mode and buy a used optiplex on ebay/online classifieds which should be able to fit your SFF gpu. Upgrade path is not that great but you are saving on that up front cost.
  9. Yeah I remember reading an article about a guy who purchased a .edu email on ebay, created a scraping program for cam sites and decided to find out how much he could store on amazon drive. The end result was somewhere in the 100s of terabytes of images/pictures.
  10. If it was personal or if your small business has no morals you can buy a .edu email and get I think it is google drive 5 tb storage for free? EDIT: I think amazon also has this deal.
  11. Shouldnt have to explain this but its budget time! How much are you committed to spending now? How much are you willing to spend later? Imagine a slider with one end being "I need now and has to be cheap" and the other end being "I need now but I am ok with consistently upgrading over time" where do you sit on that slider? Are you on the far left? Get a dell/hp desktop and slap in a new graphics card/psu and you should be good to go. Are you in the center? Get the ryzen APU skimp out on the ram by only getting 8gb and work from there Are you in the far right? get more money and try to do a ryzen 7 build with x370 again only getting 8gb of ram and find a cheapo gpu to hold you off for now. Also what do you plan on doing? Do you play a lot of esports titles like league/dota2/cs:go? you should be fine with that sandy bridge i7 build. These are the considerations you are going to need to factor in.
  12. Just gotta google fu your way around. First thing I would set up is proxmox/esxi whichever one is easier for you. Having virtualization set up means that you can isolate services on your server as you learn instead of having 1 centOS installation with everything running on it.
