I'm aware that lii-on discharge over time but neither of my wireless headsets die after a week. Neither do my previous wireless buds from cambridge audio. Ironically I often have to drag them out the drawer and use them because they still have enough charge after weeks of nothing to do what the lg can't. These lg ones just act like they're permanently on and in standby or something. And my issue isn't leaving them charging constantly from a safety point of view. It's that I'm forced to keep them permanently topped up to 100% which degrades their life span.

I have a pair of LG FN-7 wireless headphones. I've noticed if I don't have them on charge the battery drains away pretty quickly. First the case goes empty and then the buds themselves. They can go from full to flat in around a week despite just sitting on the desk unused. They're not connected to anything so the buds must be off or at least know they're supposed to be off. Leaving them permanently on charge isn't going to go well for their battery life so I'd like to know if anyone else has these headphones and if they have the same issue?

Thanks guys. I thought there was a technique I was getting wrong. I'll see about getting some solid core.

I always leave their router in place, turn off the WiFi on it then plug my own router into theirs. Asus has some nice ones. I use ubiquiti now because I needed more than general consumer but they have an amplifi brand for consumers that's good too.

personally with power supplies I stick with bequiet or seasonic. Depending on price and availability. But I lean towards seasonic.

Hey all. I haven't wired up an ethernet port before but I need a graceful way to put a cable through a wall from a crawl space so the pc can access it. I figured I'd do it via an ethernet port. So I purchased an ethernet port that replaced a plug socket in the wall. All neat and tidy. (https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B008FXGJG8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) I got my cable, got the strands lined up in the right places and punched down with the tool. The cable went down and between 2 metal blades. However the port didn't work so I pulled the wires out of it to look and the sheath isn't cut. It's squeezed and compressed but it didn't cut. From what I can understand I'm doing it right so any pointers on why this isn't working would be hugely helpful.

Hmmm that could well be it. That'd make a lot more sense if that was a desktop igpu being put against a mobile dgpu. Then I could see iris comparing

That's what I assumed so I had set that for now. Logic would assume they'd not bother with a dedicated gpu if it didn't have some serious benefits but what I saw seemed to see it waivering this and that way depending on the benchmark so it made me unsure

Just some links google threw at me https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-MX450-vs-Iris-Xe-Graphics-G7 https://www.notebookcheck.net/Iris-Xe-G7-96EUs-vs-GeForce-MX450_10364_10349.247598.0.html

I recently bought a new laptop which came with an i7-1165G7 (so Iris Xe g7 gpu I assume?) and an nvidia mx450. However from what I saw on some benchmarks and comparisions these 2 gpus seems fairly equal. Sometimes 1 over doing the other and vice versa. So I have 2 questions really. Firstly why would they bother with the mx450 if it performs basically the same as the iris? And secondly which card would you pick for parsec decoding h.265?

I'm looking around at potentially buying a new laptop in the next few months. Currently I use a surface pro 2 as my portable device and a threadripper station as my main workstation. What I'm thinking of doing is making the threadripper machine a remote machine. Basically set it up to be a remote gaming machine, vr streaming, nas, docker containers for web dev, some other server stuff etc. And my laptop will become my new desktop machine. It will connect to a hub (maybe thunderbolt dock) so it's easy to disconnect from my monitors and take on the go. It will be running my ide, office, maybe some stream gaming from my main pc and while I'm out the house perhaps some old steam games. That being my use case and high end laptops not really being something I buy regularly (surface pro 2 is 8 years old now) despite watching a lot of short circuit I thought I'd ask for some advise here. Below are the 3 I am considering in the order I like them. Any feedback on them or if there's a better alternative it would be gratefully received. I did look at the 2021 lg gram as well but I didn't see a gain over zenbook given the much higher price. But maybe I missed something? Asus ZenBook 14 UX425EA-HA181T (https://www.euronics.de/computer-und-buero/pc-und-notebooks/notebooks/zenbook-14-ux425ea-ha181t-35-56-cm-14-notebook-pine-grey-4061856958668) ASUS ZenBook S13 UX393EA-HK001T (https://www.saturn.de/de/product/_asus-zenbook-s13-ux393ea-hk001t-2663603.html) ASUS ZenBook 15 UM425UA-KI156R (https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/asus-zenbook-15-um425ua-ki156r-amd-ryzen-5-5500u-16gb-512gb-ssd-onbd-r5-w10p)

1) 1000 Mbit/s Download - 50 Mbit/s Upload 2) At the moment it's not easy to plug directly into the router from my cable company. For the computers they're all connected into a switch (Linksys LGS105-EU 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit) which then connects via ethernet to my mr8300 which plugs into the cable router. All using cat 6. Running the speed test over that at different times and days I've had from 100 to 800. I haven't really been to concerned about the office with it's ethernet yet. That's another problem for the future but right now all the computers have enough speed to wait a week or two. The wifi on the other hand is completely failing now I have switched from vdsl to cable. It meant moving my router from the middle of the house to the side. 3) The company provided a wifi router but I turned off the wifi on their router and just ethernet it into my router. 4) I can try My wife is an architect so ironically it'd actually be easier for me to give you full blueprints marked up is archicad but I doubt you have the software to open it I whipped something up extremely rough in paint. Red circles are where current wifi access points are, yellow is the areas of most issue (because they have TVs that keep dropping signal when streaming) and the garden has pretty much no signal right now but I usually just fall back on 4g data then. There's a mast over the road so good speeds. I know the velop can have an ethernet backbone, that was actually my first option above. But since all the walls are solid stone running cables around is not very easy to do so there will be points where I require wifi connected nodes. Mostly the basement

This might be opening myself up to a torrent of ideas but I need to find a decent networking solution for my house. It's a large house with concrete walls throughout. My first attempt was to use Amplifi with 3 access nodes and the base station. I had to use the 2.4ghz frequency for the backbone and once you hopped 2 nodes the speed was terrible. Frequently down at 5mbps and I need at least 30ish to reliably do 4k netflix. So out with that and in with 3 linksys velop nodes and an mr8300 which I read great reviews on. And while the system itself isn't so bad there's no way for me to vpn to my house from another location plus it forces a 5ghz backbone which hits my walls and stops. If I don't have a node in the room next door my signal frequently drops although it did make 25mbps on my tv when it actually had a signal. So this isn't going to work either. My pcs are connected by ethernet to a 1gbps Internet line but it comes in right at the front right of the house and of course the tv is back left. Literally opposite corners. I'm also not convinced the router is handling the 30+ish devices currently connected to it either but I haven't found an easy way to test that. So my current thoughts at the moment are: 1) assume the router is handling it all, run ethernet cables around the crawlspace down the 2 sides of the loft , connect a velop node on each side and hope it penetrates down through the ceiling well enough. My third node will have to wirelessly connect through the floor into the basement. 2) sell the velop system and replace it with a orbi system. I'm still researching this system to see if it has the same flaws as my velop one and it's still going to struggle. It has got good reviews for speed and range though. 3) go back to ubiquiti but go for the business grade stuff. If any of you think this is the best route could you recommend which of the many APs you'd use? Also is a cloud network key really required or can I make do with just a router and aps? Like this package? https://smile.amazon.de/Ubiquiti-USG-Netzwerk-Gigabit-Ethernet-Ports-UniFi-Controller/dp/B07P8YJ3NY/ I'm grateful for any input because I really don't want to have to keep redoing it. The cost is ridiculous because you never can resell at the same price.

I'm looking at possibly getting one of those. Do they allow you to use 2.4ghz as the backbone? Also how many devices do you have on it? I currently have a linksys velop system and it's driving me nuts. The nodes all insist on only using 5ghz between themselves so you basically need one in every room because brick wall = signal dying and I'm not sure it's doing so well with the 30ish devices that ultimately connect to the router.

Just in case anyone finds this thread with a similar problem, I found my solution was to get rid of AMD's overclocking tool's settings and put in some I found on overclock.net. The tool had set it to 4.1ghz at 1.4v. I'm not using 4.0ghz at 1.26v and that's running much better. Even running 24 threads on prime 95 the dark rock pro is keeping me under 80 degrees.
