    Before this, it took people a least over an hour on the phone and a while too book in, now it’s going to take twice as long for patients

    Ready to do my first network project and I have crimped Ethernet cables from scratch before but I have just purchased a 100m cable of cat7 outdoor cable and the colours are missing or are they? Are the white wires supposed to have like white green, white brown etc because they just show all white as you can see in the photo attached, please can someone comment the layout for this Ethernet cable as I am struggling to figure it out

    You might want to try to play with your gain and related settings then to try and solve this without spending more money. That microphone is cardiod so it's not super surprising it picks up background noise
     
    Outside of this: If you were to buy a new board it looks like their yellows are about what you want. I would recommend searching outside of razer though to find other boards, like a Ducky for instance.

    G_K reacted to SimplyChunk in Best Razer keyboards for not picking up sounds   
    according to your link you want yellows for no 'clicky' sound but that won't solve the sound of the key 'bottoming out' as you strike it.  the only way to rid yourself of that is either 'o' rings on each of the key stems OR those little felt pads you can get (i'm not sure where) to put on the key stems
     
    Edit:
     
    That is IF the 'o' rings even fit on a 'box' switch of course

    I don’t think any of them were specifically mats.  They were more popular around the turn of the century.  The best one was apparently what amounted to a bunch of treadmills.  It was huge.

    There have been a bunch of them.   None of them sold well enough to keep the company in business.  One I remember was a dished Teflon bowl of sorts and you wore special shoes.   There were others.  Generally the more natural they were the more space they took up.

    G_K reacted to Jack0f5pades in I want to buy a VR headset but which one ?   
    The cheapest around is the quest 2, but I have a multitude of personal gripes against that headset. Uncomfortable controllers, the process for setting it up to work with PC is a pain, and the controllers go through AA batteries super fast. I saved for an index and I couldn't love it more. I'd recommend to newcomers the cheapest mainstream HTC headset they can get their hands on, most of the time that's a used OG Vive. If you go with a vive, you can also repurpose the old controllers into makeshift vive trackers should you ever choose to upgrade. Plus, base station tracking will always be superior to inside out tracking, and it's much easier to connect to PC. Again, it all comes down to personal preference. If you don't like having a cable, then the quest 2 with virtual desktop is pretty much the only option right now, despite all its drawbacks.

    Been using the Quest 2 since November and I've loved it. I haven't run into any issues with the multiple steam games I've played and its been a pretty enjoyable experience. Only reason I wouldn't see someone getting it, is if they didn't want a FB account. There are rumors of a Quest 3 but apparently thats not expected until sometime in 2022.

    G_K reacted to Catsrules in Network Security   
    If a devices can detect the attack like an IPS system then it can just block the attack. There isn't a need to disconnect your computer as the attack got blocked.   I don't see a real advantage of auto disconnecting your computer over the attack that got blocked. If I did that my computer would be disconnecting all of the time. There are a bunch of bots and crap hitting servers and networks all of the time. 
     
    If the attack didn't get blocked then it obviously wasn't detected so how exactly is your computer going to know it is being attacked.
