  1. Shared washing machine A thin shirt goes in intact Emerges with holes
  2. My garbage bags full of shirts that have worn through would disagree.
  3. I don't know where else to put this so I want to share my complaint here. I was sick of buying paper-thin shirts that fall apart in the wash, and I'd heard good things about LTT store shirts. I don't normally buy youtuber merch but I figured LTT would have high quality, since that's what's advertised. But I cannot believe how thin these shirts are. I can see through them, even though they're black. If I put one over my head, I can walk around my apartment and see everything in front of me. Here's a comparison, of me wearing two shirts, one LTT and one is custom merch from a local arcade in town. In both photos I'm wearing the shirt and pulling it away from my body with my hand. You can see that the LTT shirt is significantly thinner. Even comparing it to various black band T-shirts I have, I can't see through those when I put my hand under the fabric. And to be clear I'm not stretching it here; that's why left wrinkles in the photo. It's just my hand under the slack of the shirt. I won't be seeking a refund since the shirts are delivered as advertised and I can wear them around the house (which is of course 99% of the time in 2020), but I want to add my voice and experience to the waves and waves of positive reviews. Hopefully someone who hates thin shirts will see this and be able to make a more informed decision than I did. If you love your shirt, great. I don't love mine because the fabric is too thin.
  4. I'm having this issue but stopping all services in my system tray didn't help... any more ideas? I've never used logitech software before, but apparently I need G Hub for NFS:Heat racing wheels.
  5. I already know all of this, and I already have a single-NAT setup for gaming. I even said in my original post that the modem is doing the DHCP. And I have static IPs on both my pihole and my gaming computer. My question wasn't about how to set up a separate modem and router; I just needed to know whether having a modem and router setup where the modem is slower than the router would affect LAN speeds between two devices connected directly to the router. And the answer is no, it doesn't bottleneck. I'm able to stream from my PC to my phone at the increased speeds, since those are both connected to the router, not the modem. As for security, my solution is to not own "smart devices". They're a crock anyway, and even my "Smart TV" isn't connected online. I just need a dumb TV since my PC is hooked directly to it anyway.
  6. I have a non-wireless modem-router (Ovislink OV604V) with some devices plugged into the LAN ports there. From one of those LAN ports, I have an ethernet cable running across my home, connected to the LAN port on a router in another room. This router acts as the wireless access point, as well as having my PC and consoles plugged into it. It acts as a network switch. The modem is doing the routing and DHCP. I'm looking at upgrading my router because it's quite old and doesn't do 5GHz wifi (it also cuts out sometimes). I have my eye on a gigabit router. I understand that this won't upgrade my internet connection, but since the router isn't actually doing the routing and is only an access point/switch for my modem network, will two devices, both plugged into the gigabit router, be able to achieve gigabit speeds between them? Example 1: If my PC is plugged into the gigabit router, and a NAS is plugged into that same router, would a file transfer between the NAS and the PC be able to achieve the full potential speed, or would it be "passed through" the (aging) modem and be bottlenecked? Examople 2: Would connecting my phone to the 5GHz network on the router allow it to get a fast connection from Steam link on my PC, without a bottleneck from the router? The router I'm looking at is D-Link DIR-867. I won't be upgrading the modem soon because my apartment building is going through the process of having fibre installed so I'm waiting until that goes through before modem shopping or upgrading my service.
