I did own the 12GB version of the OnePlus. I wanted to keep the phone but the soft corners of the screen and very lackluster video quality was a dealbreaker for me. I wish (Samsung) offered more devices with the ceramic back, particularly the Note10+. I like the larger, more square screen of the Note10+. Before that, I was using the S105G. Funny how with the November security update that all the phones, even the lowly S10e now have all of the camera features that were only on S105G and Note10+ phones.

Whenever a new one comes out. Mostly Samsung and Apple phones. Tried some others and just feel they're not quite up to the giants. Some are close and better buys for the money. Just like wine and food, everyone has their own thing. Typically I get 2-3 phones a year.

Is it a normal circuit breaker or circuit breaker featuring arc fault protection? The latter is required in some codes to prevent fires from a faulty switch. The device "listens" for a broadband RF noise or chirp on the line which is a telltale sign of a device that's developed an intermittent connection, bad switch (arcing) etc. Some PSUs with active power factor correction can false trip these devices because the AFCI circuit produces a similar radio frequency interference.

How much ram do you want? 9900K maxes out at only 64GB which places it squarely at high end mainstream territory. If you're using an 1883 AND nVME storage I'd forget the 1151 platform altogether. Is IPC important? You mention you prefer core speed over core count. The Sage is an awesome board and it pairs nicely with the 7980XE. 2990WX is another option that's in the price range of 7980XE (and the new 9980XE). I prefer the faster memory throughput and superior IPC of the 7980XE over 2990WX. Both platforms officially support 128GB RAM. And if you're looking at TR4 I'd recommend the MEG X399 over the other boards. Particularly if you're interested in raising the package TDP limit to 500W or something equally atrocious! It's fun to watch the CPU turbo up to 4GHz across the board and NOT have the VRM temps soar high enough to sear a steak! But you will need a real block and large rad area to support it! (NO AIO can keep 2990WX at 4GHz happy under full load for hours, no matter what they tell you!)

Asus Strix RTX 2080Ti. It's being broken in now so by bedtime I'll be able to play space invaders!

I found the connector for RGB on the motherboard and unplugged it, lights out! But I shouldn't have to do this...

I can see a board like the SR-2. But every X99, X299, and now X399 TR4 take a really long time to POST. I have a 8086K in an Asus ROG Strix mITX and it's on the desktop and logged in with my long password BEFORE UEFI start on the TR4 and 7980XE X299 (Asus Rampage VI Extreme)

Forget the gaming router! Go with a wired router or make your own (pfsense, etc.) Yes run some CAT6 and install access points like ubiquiti. This will provide greater coverage and real speeds.

The wireless card is a module? Is it hiding under that huge cover? I'll have to check that out. I do see a utility for light management. Hopefully it can be turned off and it stays that way. These boards are getting ridiculous with the discotheque lighting schemes. I loved the 70s and miss the music but damn if I want my motherboard to glow like a blacklight poster!

If your domain controller is on the same subnet as the client PCs which must be running an OS that supports domain membership (i.e. 'pro' not 'home') it should work regardless. Your router/firewall can still perform DHCP roles just be sure the clients are getting a DNS IP that matches your domain controller. You can also disable the router DHCP function and set up a simple /24 scope in DHCP services on your domain controller.

Does anyone know how to disable all the lighting effects? I don't see it anywhere in BIOS. Also, the onboard wifi and bluetooth radio hardware doesn't seem to have a toggle setting in the BIOS either. It seems to be a solid board, otherwise. I prefer the Zenith overall but with 2990WX OC with generous power limits (all cores 4GHz full load) the VRMs do get toasty warm even with copious amounts of airflow. I think it would fail under full load 24/7 well before its planned retirement.
