  1. How about building the ultimate smart home on a budget? I think you should check out Home Assistant, it is an open source software you can run on any old computer, or a Raspberry Pi, and it is like a local version of IFTTT, but like on steroids... You can find a few videos of people showing off their setups. It is a smart home hub you can make and it will connect almost anything on your local network together and you can control them all from one dashboard, link it to Google Assistant or Alexa, and even write automations that are like 1000x more powerful than IFTTT. You can compare it to something like smartthings or phillips hue. There are integrations for all kinds of things, Google Hangouts, smart lightings, motion sensors, video doorbells, MyQ garages, security cameras, TVs, streaming sticks/boxes, smart speakers/displays, phones, netgear routers, playstation, other hubs (like philips hue hub, smartthings, apple homekit, and more), smart locks, rf controlled devices if running on something like a raspberry pi, and literally anything controlled by 433mhz rf or wifi. I could go on and on with automations... Examples of possible automations: When I leave my house, if motion sensors are trigggered, play siren.mp3 on full volume on speaker system, and all smart speakers, make all lights flash red, and send me a notification on my phone. When all my family members are away from the house, close all garages, lock all doors, and turn off all lights. When (button) is pressed, flash all lights rainbow colors, and play crab rave on the TV in living room When I play a movie, dim theater lights 1/4. When I turn off smart light switch C, turn off all lights and TVs in the house. You can even do weird things: When I lock the door, give the dogs water, make all the lights yellow, play PewDiePie on the TV, and say "hahahahhahahahha" on Google home mini (via Google TTS) When Button A is pressed, unlock the doors, play music on Google Home, close the garages, and message mom "Hi" via Hangouts. My point, is there are endless opportunities, useless or useful. I really think this would make an amazing video. It could also be something like "Smart Home systems are a rip off..." I don't even care, but you already have shown enough devices in your videos to make a really cool Home Assistant setup. Just please make a video about it, at least watch a video about it or read their forums, it is so fun to mess with. Hope you read this, bye. Edit: I also wanted to add that even if you don't use automations that much, you can create dashboards to control all of your things (entities). Such as lights, appliances, media players etc. I recommend for most people to install the hass.io version on something like a raspberry pi or arduno.
  2. true. I can complain on the invision community forum maybe that will help...
  3. most mobile broswers let you use the desktop version of a site
  4. So I know that if someone sends me a SMS when my phone is off, it doesn't get delivered until i turn it on. Is that how emails work too? Or if the server running my email is down, will they just fail to send it and get a error? Thanks.
  5. I will state the obvious: The i9 is better, but for most people an i7 makes sense because it is cheaper. If it is in your budget, get an i9. Just make sure you get a monster cooler. Ryzen is a good decision too especially due to the price, but if you want intel, go intel.
  6. I just canceled my minecraft server because i realized i can just run one on a VPS
  7. Next Video: ONE PETABYTE MINECRAFT SERVER!
  8. I would be interested. One question though... How small is allowed?
  9. bought optane memory thinking it was ram for my first pc build.
  10. I heard the problem is also it has 1gb of ram plus it wont get ios 13
  11. report it to https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/
  12. idk yet. Probably cinebench or 3d mark. Idk whatever you guys use.
  13. I don't mind going used if I have to, or spend a little more. I don't want to actually use it, I just want to beat all of those benchmark tests. So I need an amazing cooler and a good cpu. I dont need a lot of storage, just fast storage. Also need like a titan or something. Update: I don't want to use any parts under $150 except maybe cables or something.
  14. That will not work in the motherboard. you need a 300 chipset. I made that mistake one time. Edit: so if you dont want to buy a new motherboard, you should get a 7th gen cpu.
  15. Check a few things the network card / adapter may only support 100mbps. Also contact verizon if nessesary. Also you might have a slow network switch or something.
