  1. Right now I use Itunes to stream my digital video collection. I am wondering if Plex is still a go to solution or if there is something better than Plex? To my understanding Plex automatically organizes, sorts, tags and applies the cover art with information to the file to the videos. Does it only do it through the service, or does it attach the data directly into the metadata of the file?
  2. Yes I did, I've got it to where I just need the TPM Header now. All I need is a TPM 20-1 pin module. TPM-L R2.0|Motherboards|ASUS Global Amazon.com: Asus Accessory TPM-L R2.0 TPM Module Connector For ASUS Motherboard: Computers & Accessories Sadly its unavailable. this here Everything else checks out fine, UEFI is set to go, Secure boot is set to go. And the video specifically says they go as far back as what generation again?
  3. Did you follow the reboot so system info shows it is in UEFI? I had the same issues, BIOS showed it was installed as UEFI, Windows system info showed legacy. Once I did the master boot record GPR command prompt in the video it worked. The only thing I need is the tpm part. If you can get that going it should work for you!
  4. I just need to know where I can buy the TPM chip for an ASUS Z97 DELUXE NFC motherboard? The rest of it, I have gone through and done. Currently downloading the ISO file as a just in case if something goes south. My suggestion is to put a backup copy of your Windows 10 on a USB or disc. That way it can be slipstreamed without worries. I'm not sure how to do this for Win10, I've done from XP to Windows 7. After Win 7 i stopped making slipstreamed discs/usb installs. So yea, just need an ASUS tpm chip for an intel motherboard.
  5. Asus Z97 deluxe platform, Windows 10 Installed. Up until last week my bluetooth audio was working and paring just fine. Now it will not pair with any BT audio device correctly. It will show it is "Connected" yet will not register in the sound settings for playback devices, or it does show in playback devices and will not connect there. As you can see here. I've tried reinstalling windows 10, resolved a few issues. I've updated the driver to BT, I've restarted the audio and BT services. I've tried resetting the default to the Bios (that did help) momentarily. Side note: This motherboard has been freezing when updating with specific drivers, and software. This has been happening for over a year now. The build is from 2014 just after DDR4 was launched, like days after. Making it close to 7 years old. I can pair, add and do everything on another pc with no issue. Just not mine. If there is anything I have not done, please let me know if others ar ehaving the same problem
  6. Topic: GPS Tracking a child.... I'm with Linus on his thoughts. Thesis: The what if scenarios are scary. Pros: Is there room for improvement.. Yes there is! Do we need to use this in a leash parent kind of way... No Helicopter parent as others have said... No In certain scenarios this device may be beneficial. Rather than having a GPS tracking device for older children. I would love to see one that can alert a parent of many kids that one of their children is X feet away. This may not be useful to a single child or a family of 3.. However, lets say you have a 8 children. or you ended up having sets of multiples at the same time. To these fortunate parents blessed with a growing family. A tracking or alert system may be extremely beneficial. Rather than having it be tied into a charm, a wrist bracelet. I would like to see options of a system implemented into a child that could be harder to identify. Clothing, Fabric, or something of that sort. Maybe something as small as the piercing of your child if you are a parent who gets the daughters ears pierced at a young age. I'd love to see a system implemented rather than a single device. It would be great to see this working if your children were X amount of feet away. Maybe if it could sense blood pressure, to alert the parent. Or if there was a way it could send an alert to the police. I think GPS Tracking has some great unforeseen innovations yet to come. Especially if we compare it to child safety of cars, car seats and other items. Cons: Can someone hack it.. Of course. We would be naive to think a networked device could not be hacked. Could someone trigger a false response.. No different than triggering a fire alarm in a library by leaving through the wrong door. It can simply happen on purpose or through accidents. One child pulled a fire alarm because the red box said to do so. The child of the age didn't know any better. Does this device make it safer.. no it doesn't In the wrong hands of the wrong parent. A tracking or alert system could make a parent be less concerned with where or what the child is doing and more concerned with the task they are initially trying to do. In summary / conclusion: We have a long ways to go before something of this nature can be vastly used in a manner where it is beneficial more than the fears of "What ifs" are impaired with flaws. Overall, we are not there yet. As I stated, this could lead to some devastating problems while hindering some other issues. One of those fears for me is the parent being lazy, and un aware. In the proper hands, of a proper parent an alert system (not a gps tracker) could be a great tool to use. Thank you linus.
  7. First, I am a technician myself. Secondly I have a first time dilemma I have not faced. Drive0 = 1tb Drive1= 500gb Drive1 was originally the operating system.. Drive0 was the storage device. Upon taking the said computer to a computer repair shop the tech there swaped the OS and the Data drive. So now Drive1 500gb = data storage and Drive0 1tb = Operating system. The critical part is what software or how can I recover the previous partitions which contain the data that my client wants with it already being formatted and something installed over the previous partition. I've been able to recover from a formatted partition before. but nothing was installed over it.. IE an operating system. I am troubleshooting this remotely. I am in michigan, the client is in texas area. I could use all the help possible. We are talking close to 24,000 Raw files and more....
  8. @LinusTech Just got done watching the finale on your channel. This video came to mind that i saw not to long ago for help with cable management. You could create Faux walls/panels to tuck your chords in. Enjoy.
  9. The image below are the Lian Li series I was speaking about, they are smaller cases that are said to be wall mountable. So you can mount these on the wall or even put up a very small shelf to hold this up. I did see the adjustment, I was thinking that it would be lower. Perhaps share the website you will be making your purchases off of so the Western world could help you better. I do know one man who may help you out quite well. I am unsure if he is on here. I'll send him a link so he could share his input.
  10. 32 gigs of ram instead, switch to an x-99 chipset. Go for a silent build with a case that that offers dampening. Linus has the quite silent build using the x-99 ws. Make sure your cpu cooler has fans that run at dba you enjoy. Replace them with thr noctua or corsair sp quiets. For a smaller er form factor look up lian-li pc 06 and pc-07 series. (Trade off for form and silence). Swap out the gpu for a quadro if you're going to do 3d applications. It will handle the renders much faster. Why the greens over the blacks?
  11. As for a monitor and graphics card goes. Will you print at a lab or be purchasing your own printer. Put this perspective into a timeline. When and if. How accurate do you want your colors to be asus pro art and Dell ultrasharp are great for starter in the Srgb color space. If you ever want to use a wider gamut such as adobe RGB. Then a 10 bit gpu such as a quadro should and could be considered. To learn more. Here is a forum article http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2605177/nvidia-titan-gtx-980-gtx-970-support-bit-color.html my advice is the quadro are known to be suggested more often. Figure out if you want to do this now or down the road. My suggestion is to do this down the road. Here is a solid corsair asus X 99 M WS which contains the wireless as you requested. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/E.Beadle/saved/qGNdnQ it id 1527.29 on newegg and amazon without the monitor, os, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc etc. typically I prefer the K95 keyboard due to all the programs and other corsair peripherals for an overall pleasing look to compliment your work space. With this being a tighter budget. You may want to use what you already have and upgrade when you can For an idea of what I enjoy using to spoil myself abd other content creators. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/E.Beadle/saved/CNZNnQ the monitor and other various tools change based ln thier budget and needs . The key thing I consider for my builds is color schemes, looks and uniformity. Like i would even change the grpahics card to a one that is still NVIDIA gpu made by asus. In a price range that gives you a good bang for your buck. If the performance is proper. Just to have the asus gpu match my asus mobo. I would definitly stick with the corsair 400c,. Air 540 or go with an air 240 (smaller thzn the 540). Depending on your desktop size. Also make sure you measure with the kind of measuring tapes that suit stores and fabric stores use for your chord layouts so you can grasp if you will need extra chords or not. P.s sorry for the late response maddie. I spent the day remodeling my office for a different deskspace
  12. I am currently building a new computer geared strictly for photography. I need to know on the X99 Chipset which CPU is better for the price per performance. The I7-5820k is MSRP 384.00 usd while the intel Xeon e5-1620 V3 priced at 300.98 USD MSRP.. Any advice on the trade off of each of a pro vs con would be appreciated. articles, links, personal experiences etc etc. Our budget is 1500 to 1700. I am trying not to break the bank of going above that on the desktop only. Link to the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rCxkFT if there are any suggestions on which Quad kit channel with decent looking heat spreaders and computer cases could be suggested that would be great as well.
  13. I'm in the same boat and instead of running 9.2 I went to 9.3 I really want Cydia and Ifile. Mainly the Ifile to get Jarvis to replace Siri.
  14. With a recent purchase of a smart thermostat by honeywell. i got to thinking about Ecobee3 from there I noticed it was integrated with Apple Homekit apps. Did some further research and was led to insteon, schalges, philips hue and other things. My question is What are some of the community members takes on automating the appliances, lights and other electronics through out your apartment / home? Where would you start? What is your review/take/opinion? Favorite company? Is it worth it now? Will it be worth it in the future? Insteon Apple Home Kit Accessories Please share your words on this topic
