    Does AWS have the option to ship the data to them? The only option I know about is snowball and for the amount of data I have it's not cost effective. (Too little data, too high of a cost)

    The data sparks income. Income buys joy.

    Hi folx, I use AWS S3 glacier to store and archive any long term data, I mainly do video production and I don't get rid of files (over the past year alone I've created 3TB worth of uncompressed data). I try and do an archive upload once a quarter - but since moving to Phoenix I haven't been able to do that on my DSL connection (10 mbps up). Other than the expensive Snowball service, is there a way to reach out to a local data center as buy time to pop a couple high capacity drives into a machine and start a upload to AWS. In the past I was in the Chicago suburbs with a gigabit connection so it wasn't as much of an issue, but now it just keeps snowballing.

    Hi everyone, I am off to college now. I have a MacBook Pro as my daily driver and a desktop for more intensive/windows based work (video editing, finale, gaming) - I was wondering if anyone has a network based RAID NAS they could recommend that could sit atop or under my desk. The plan is to have a mini switch (like 5 ports) for all my devices. I would like to be able to partition it so I could run time machine on it (also, how large of a partition should I have for time machine) and use it as a full blown backup and storage solution. (Yes, I do plan on running the non time machine partition in exfat - much like a lot of my drives I install). My laptop has a small 500GB SSD in it so it's great for on the go but not bulk long term storage. Any recommendations would be great and appreciated.

    https://www.anandtech.com/show/14664/testing-intel-ice-lake-10nm Intels Next Gen Processors code named Ice Lake have been benchmarked. Do you think they can compete with third gen Ryzen? Personally I don't think they can. It's great to see Intel hit 10nm but we see a dip in Base Frequency. Personally not a trade off I'd like to see.

    Very odd...

    Maybe when you put it in the other machine for testing it killed part of the hardware...

    Did you happen to drop the CPU when transferring it to a different machine?

    Alright, so I work in Marketing as a SEO Assistant and we do a bit of scraping (we use Screaming Frog SEO Spider and a couple other applications). So as we were testing some new XPath Code for the scraper we started wondering how many scrapers have to be active before a website takes a hit. Either just performance wise or completely crashing the site. Is there a way to calculate this? I know it would be different like Facebook or Twitter would be impossible but maybe smaller sites could be susceptible to this. No, I have no plans for this but I am just curious and it might help people protect against this even.

    Ha! I wish I was close to my cap.

    I am currently seeing a speed if about 12 killobits per second without my VPN - closer to 25-30 megabits per second with the vpn

    Hi, I've been doing a lot of large downloads and uploads recently on my home network. And these appear slow, so I will run a speed test and they magically get the speeds I pay for while the speed test occurs. So I recently began to use my PIA vpn more often and woah... I'm getting the speeds I pay for?!? How crazy, right? Has anyone else had this problem with Comcast or any ISP for that matter. I know they have gotten wise and can detect when a speed test occurs. But it's beyond ridiculous - it brings my speed from many Mbps to a few Kbps. FYI - I generally use a wired connection.

    I would legit buy this as a fidget toy lol. Feeling annoying and want a tactile click on a cherry black for a few hours. Someone just threw something at you after 3 hours of the cherry black? Switch to the gateron silent red. ...or is this only me?

    It's definitely a niche within a niche.

    Trackpad (and technically touchbar but that doesn't matter) I could, I seem to have issues with VMs especially if I use portable drives. I just like the idea of booting directly - reduces input lag and access the hardware directly. When I took intro to programing (3 years ago?) The school used a Virtual Box into Windows 7 for us to learn BASIC and I remember it just being a terrible experience. And I still see and help with issues today when they run into Windows 7 issues, many are because it's a VM and something isn't sitting right between the software and hardware (my hypothesis).

    Yes, I actually use mint when I'm not in Windows 10, but since I'm on the road or at school a lot I want that capability to use a Linux Distro on my Mac for the more Linux-y think I'd want to do.

    Oh and yes, I have a PC (actually two) at home, but their towers. My school is heavily Mac based and my MacBook Pro has become my daily driver. Its great for my AP Computer Science Class (Java), works pretty good for light video streaming, and moderate Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro use.

    Ok, this is an odd forum post but. I am kinda in love with my Mac but I am sometimes unhappy how closed the environment is and need to walk into the land of the free. My friend introduced me to Linux and I was able to boot into it from an external drive on Mac (woah) My issue is I own a MacBook Pro (2017 w/ touchbar) and when we ran Ubuntu you couldn't do anything we hypothesize its because it didn't have the drivers for anything. I am way dumb with linux so I would have no idea where to start. I am wondering if anyone here has done this before and knows what to do or has experience with similar ideas and can help me our or even point me in the correct direction. I attached the specs for the MacBook Pro.

    Yes it is. And like the rest of the office it looks old. (nblskil.com) but luckily it is mainly a text website. For its time it was ahead of it's game. I know about editing in HTML/CSS but never had to host locally. Can you recommend any good tutorials for Apache or nginx? Shines the FileMaker Pro Guy Signal

    That seems fair, as I'm looking at what we would need for specs (I did spec it out as I would a PC Server) it is still much cheaper than the trash can Mac Pro. And as I see it none of our use cases require a dGPU.
