  1. Hello, I'm working on a Wireless Bridge Project and I would appreciate it if you could check my work. My Grandparents are getting home internet for the first time in the upcoming months. They are getting Spectrum internet and I assume they are getting the cheapest plan. They are getting either 100 Mbps or 300 Mbps. They have a second building (a barn) on their property across the street a little over 200 feet away. We have an easy line of sight between the house and the barn with minimal trees. We want to set up a P2P Wireless Bridge between the House and the Barn and drop an AP in the barn for reliable internet access in the barn. My budget is about $150-$300 for the P2P Bridge and PoE Injectors. I looked at some products and want to hear some feedback from you guys. Bundle of 2 Ubiquiti NanoStation LOCOM5 P2P-2 Units Kit on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Pre-Configured-NanoStation-Configured-Communications-Configuration/dp/B0CBB326MM/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=ubiquiti+wireless+bridge&qid=1700107453&sr=8-5 TP-Link CPE710 5GHz AC 867Mbps Long Range Gigabit Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Transmission-Wireless-Injector-CPE710/dp/B08D71HC9L/ref=sr_1_3?crid=6U1K65Y63G1W&keywords=wireless%2Bbridge%2Btp%2Blink&qid=1700547847&sprefix=wireless%2Bbridge%2Btp%2Blink%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-3&th=1 I've seen a bunch of P2P bridges on Amazon but I've never heard of a lot of these companies and not sure if that is a concern. Let me know what you think and Thank you so much!
  2. Hey just wanted to know does LTT have an BCM/DR/IR policies? I work in the public sector as a Cybersecurity Auditor, part of my job is assessing Business Continuity Management, Disaster Recovery, and Incident Response plans and providing regulatory recommendations when I find areas of improvement. I was quite stressed out just listening to WAN show yesterday hearing Linus and Luke talk about the events that took place. To me it sounded incredibly disorganized from my perspective. Thinking about it, in the event of a cybersecurity incident is it really best practice to have an angry naked linus try to just figure it out? I mean, typically the incident response team will wear clothes. I heard at one point Luke tried to call Dan super early in the morning. Was that because you guys have a call tree in policy that was supposed to alert Dan? What if it was absolutely imperative Dan needed to be reached, do you guys have alternative contact information in IR policy? For this incident specifically does LTT perform Phishing Testing/Training on users? I was also listening and heard some changes going on related to IAM, I would have questions related to that to. What if this was an environmental, economical, or polical/hacktivism issue, does LTT have contingency plans to deal with those? Procedures for alerting your stakeholders including the public, does LTT have those in place? When listening to the WAN show it sounded like areas of BCM/DR/IR were addressed during the issue instead of getting your ducks in a row prior to this all going down. I don't expect answers to these questions, it shouldn't be public information for LTT's own protection. TLDR: Does LTT have BCM/DR/IR policies to help address incidents?
  3. Hello, recently my 1 and a half year old Gigabyte RTX 2070 has had an issue with artifacting or I believe it is artifacting. I was playing GTA V last week when in the middle of my game my PC shut off completely. I started up my computer again and a bunch of green pixels started showing up on my display. This happens on all screens and applications. I know that the problem is isolated to the GPU, the monitor is brand new. I I did not do much digging but I have a couple theories I wanted to run by the forum first. 1) I have not manually overclocked the card just running at the stock overclock out of the box. I heard lowering the clock of the card might help? 2) I can not send my card in for a replacement because apparently my card is not covered under warranty. I can however send the card in for a $45 repair fee if that can even be accomplished. 3) Eventually I would like to get an RTX 3070 because I want to start playing in 1440p almost exclusively but obviously it is ridiculous to get one with the current market. The model of the GPU is the Gigabyte GV-N2070Gaming OC-8GC If you have some input on my situation i would appreciate it. Thank You
  4. Hey guys my dad has been using the same laptop for over ten years and he has finally decided that he wants a new laptop. He is self-employed and needs his machine to run quick books/excel, light internet browsing, and some video streaming. His budget is around $500-$550 and I figure it needs to be a CPU heavier machine because of him needing to make spreadsheets. However since Linus just came out with a video claiming that AMD is starting to take over this price point with their new Ryzen laptops. I am personally thinking about an intel 10th generation cpu based laptop in the i7 spec, at least 8gbs of RAM, and an SSD. This might be kinda overkill considering he does not use his laptop very much but considering it may be awhile before he buys a new machine it would probably be a good idea to go with an i7. I was checking sites that compare 8th gen and 10th gen intel CPUs and it looks like a pretty good jump between the two generations. I am not opposed to getting an AMD system if there is a great option out there that is comparable to an Intel one. This system here is going to be discounted on black friday to be $500 and so far this is the best I can find for this price so far. If you guys know of other great options send me a link so I can help my dad make a decision. Thank You! https://www.samsclub.com/p/hp-hd-notebook-10th-gen-core-i7/prod23670251?xid=plp_product_1_11

    New GPU?

    Thanks for the comments guys I will look out for good deals in the ranges you guys laid out
  6. I have heard that not all home security options are safe because some brands are easy to get into and even some main brand ones are getting hacked. I have done some of my own personal research and I have a theory that the Google Nest and Arlo brands are safe, however Amazon's ring is not safe because I believe it has unencrypted traffic. Is this true? Maybe a good video idea for you guys! Can we bring back some exotic cooling methods and have linus test out how well they work? I loved that video about bong cooling and I think it would be funny to benchmark several of the weird cooling methods and bench marking them against each other. Could we get a techquickie video explaining the new nvidia turing stack in full? I had a buddy of mine get really confused because of nvidias dumb naming scheme. I was thinking kinda like that video about gpus through the 10 years that you guys did with AMD and Nvidia You guys made a video about making your own cpu blocks, could u do one on a GPU block to with your guys machinery and Alex?

      Home security should not be confused with "smart products".  They are antonyms

    New GPU?

    Hey guys I currently have an Asrock RX580 and I am considering what I should be my next graphics card in the future. I am pretty well versed on some of my options but I would like to hear some opinions from you guys! I like to overclock my cards I have owned in the past and obviously the 500 series is horrible at OC. I am even open to buying a used card if I can get a great deal on it. The games I play the most are Fortnite, Rainbow Six Seige, Oxygen not Included, Rocket League, GTA V, Risk of Rain 2, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. I play on 1080p 144hz as much as I can but I am not fully using the 144hz to its full extent a lot of the time. I am interesting in seeing what Intels GPU's might look like but right now I am on team red with a ryzen 7 2700x. I have seen some Ebay lists for rtx 2070s which would be cool if I could get one for the right price. The best GPU I have owned so far was from team green but I am still optimistic about the XT lineup from AMD. The rest of my system includes a b450 asus strix board, corsair h100i v2 all in one loop, 16gbs of corsair vengeance 3000hz memory, corsiar hx800i PSU, Sandisk 480GB SSD, and a mix of 2TBs of storage between 2 HDDs. If you think there is a different area of my computer build that I should spend money on please let me know so I can think about upgrading that instead. Just from my personal opinion I think the GPU is the next thing spend on.
  9. I wore my LTT hoodie out on Lake Michigan while fishing this morning. Got that stealth package.
