      It's wireless - hadn't mounted it at the time.

      I tried it but constantly crashed with timeout errors, it's made for people with normal internet connections, then switched to grayjay which sort of works but 5/10 times won't load the videos because it can't find UMP sources, the evil format youtube uses. Because of course they won't work with something normal like mp4.

      God google really doesn't like making things easy. Good to know though, maybe on a wired connection it'll behave! Seems like some work to install it, so worth known whats its like, thanks.

    Had a good laugh. Can't believe 14+++ (always thought that many +'s was a joke) is still kicking.

      Intel really said: if it ain’t broke, rebrand it. 😂
      14nm+++, Comet Lake resurrection… at this point we’re not on tick-tock, we’re on tick-tock-tick-tock-tick….
      Meanwhile AMD went from Zen 1 to Zen 5 in the same time span. Respect to Intel’s marketing team though they’ve squeezed more lives out of 14nm than a cat has.

    I cannot comment on your specific controller but i have the jonsbo N1 which has a 5 drive backplane. I am using an LSI SAS 9207-4i4e connectd to four SAS hard drives with an SFF-8087 cable to the backplane. The system has presented no issues detecting the drives or otherwise.

    I'v been using it as a HTPC and its a dream compared to windows. THough as @manikyath said some stuff is hard to setup due to the more limited access, there are fewer tutorials out there. But a console its *chefs kiss*

    Why would you create a motherboard that does not support headless booting? Why not add a setting in bios? why why why. What a horrible waste of time it is trouble shooting just to relaise this.

    Well lads, i'v been converted. Game streaming is the tits.

     

    I have a colleague who has been spending his lunch breaks using xbox game streaming, and honestly it's not perfect but well better than not playing.

     

    He has since given me the idea of trying this with steam's game stream service and honestly it works a charm too. Biggest problem is that uni blocks this on their network so I have to use a hotspot. The receiving end hardware can be complete crap it doesn't matter. Why does steams features always get overlooked? they have great solutions but they get much less attention compared to other services.

    Any of you been playing games via streaming?

      Sort of. I used that steam thing to play BL3 on my phone.  I had to stop though. It’s too dangerous for me.  I’ll play too many video games.

    A nice idea to use an existing technology - printers - to encode data, Impressive that they managed to get a proof of concept to work quite well, goes to show that the idea is very reasonable. Doesn't seem super dense tho. Thought the long term arguments for the stability are a little theoretical, it'd be cool to see more work on that side of things, im sure that there is promise there too. Density is also not strong at 0.0271mbyte/mm2 vs blueray at 23mbyte/mm2... though maybe thats apples vs oranges as i guess long term storage is more the goal.

    I have some old headphones which are in bits, and I would love to fix them, , but finding an old pair is difficult. Some parts are available outside of the EU but that makes shipping 3-4x the cost of the parts. /end rant.

      Plastic is a bitch to fix, could you fashion something out of metal and afix it somewhat stealthily maybe?

       

      Wires are better, nice black heatshrink after soldeting can hide a lot of crimes. 😄

      Heatshrink is a good idea! Also, I had used string earlier for the plastic! But it's ugly 😛

      If you have a photo of the broken plastic part, post it here. Maybe I could figure something out, if you don't have a plan already that is. Second pair of eyes and all that. 🙂
