I am looking for a GPU block or GPU AIO block for my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 card. EKWB gave me some EOL part numbers but I have yet to see anyone selling any. My GPU has become "crashy".

It was on the article about Intel wanting it's customers to pay to unlock additional features on CPUs they already purchased. https://wccftech.com/intel-pay-additional-features-cpus-sdsi While I was reading the comments I came across a section talking about Intel artificially segmenting the market. I commented about Intel making ECC RAM only available on Server CPUs and Linus Torvalds calling them out on it. This was the response I got (the guy happens to be the most insulting, name-calling, among other things person on there...and that's saying something). I am curious...was I wrong? Am I, a consumer, stupid to want ECC RAM on my Desktop helping to protect the decades on information that resides on my system? I use it in my server for that reason so why not on my desktop?

I know I am Resurrecting a NECRO here But I just wanted to point out that the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master board DOES have a Thunderbolt Add-on card header. As seen on the right side of the image. As well as this page showing the Titan card that supports this board https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GC-TITAN-RIDGE-rev-20#kf

Just going to post a couple of Scientific studies/reports about 5G and health effects. Take them as you will. I personally am willing to trust them given the years of study and research under their belts /credentials and detail in the studies. The results are interesting and minorly concerning depending on the technology deployed. 5G can be used for amazing things. It is the implementation that is what needs to be scrutinized. Do I think 5G causes Covid? NO. Do I think more study is needed to analyze the effects of the 5G bands being used? HELL YES https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1438463917308143 https://slt.co/Downloads/News/1102/5G - IEEE with Health comments.pdf https://thecalm.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5G-Wireless-Technology_Millimeter-Wave-Health-Effects.pdf Millimeter waves bio effects CIA Declassified in 2012 Zalyubovskaya 1977.pdf

Since no one here seems to have even mentioned it, why not consider it? Or even try it out. If you want to see what it is about, you are welcome to try it out on my test server. I fired one up for a couple of tech podcasters who were looking for alternatives to Zoom.

Jitsi has been around for a long time. Just because no one you have seen here talks about it doesnt mean no one else does. Level1Techs does, most other tech communities have at least mentioned it at some point. How many people do you know of who talk about Mastodon? Matrix? alternatives to mainstream services? Federation services?

Have you tried using Zoom? Zoom has loads of issues. Their servers are overloaded for example. As to why? Jitsi doesnt require a 10gig pipe. They just recommend one. I have an instance running on a gigabit pipe without issues. Video Conferencing is a great way to socially interact outside of physically seeing someone. Some would ask WHY LTT would spend all that cash to run a Minecraft server....and bandwidth considering Minecraft can and will eat all available bandwidth if you let it. And that is just one server while LTT is running how many instances? What does LTT gain from running a Jitisi Server? The same they would get from running a Folding Server or a Minecraft Server or any community server. Providing gratis options for people to interact with each other is a very philanthropic endeavor. LTT doesnt charge for access to their Minecraft server do they? They don't charge for access to the folder server either. Neither do they for Discord. I fail to see the validity of either of your arguments.

Jitsi Meet is not like Discord. Jitsi Meet is a Video conferencing server. EG: Zoom.

Given the current pandemic going on, everyone is gravitating towards one of several conferencing services eg: Zoom, Citrix, Skype, MS Teams. On the other hand, Jitsi Meet is a solid option and you can run your own server. Jitisi Meet is free and open source. It would be awesome if LTT fired up their own Jitsi Meet server given the 10Gig pipe. Jitsi themselves recommend using a 10gig pipe for a Jitsi server. While it does work fine on a 1gig pipe, if you get a large influx of users, that 1gig pipe will saturate very quickly and quality will degrade. I myself am currently running one on a DigitalOcean droplet for testing and so far it has passed all the tests. The only real issue is finding an affordable 10gig VPS. Given the privacy concerns of many of the conferencing services (See Zoom privacy report from Protonmail), having the LTT group fire up a Jitisi Meet server would be an awesome way to help the wider community interact during this lovely time in our lives. https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/

the T710 is not hotswap like the T420. You have to take the entire faceplate of the chassis off to access the drives.

Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/SEALIGHT-9005-HB3-Non-Polarity-Replacement/dp/B07LGL43QF/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=High%2BIntensity%2BLed%2Bheadlight&qid=1551313542&refinements=p_72%3A1248861011&rnid=1248859011&s=automotive&sr=1-2-spons&th=1

would you mind speccing one?

Im already aware of the AMD support. The 2200G DOES NOT support it. None of the APUs do.

Recommended brands and models?

Im told NEVER to run ZRaid with hardware RAID. Also, 2200G does not support ECC RAM. If you meant to say add an HBA card, then I can do that. But a Hardware RAID card... no.

I want to stay DOT compliant for Inter-state travel. Blue last I checked is not legal across state lines. Plus I want to have the bulbs last a long time. AFAIK, HIDs take a bit to warm up and will get quite hot. From what I hear they also go out sooner.

I am looking to buy or build a FreeNAS server. I want Hotswap hard drive bays. I am going for RaidZ2 and have purchased 8x 4TB WD Red drives. I prefer a Tower chassis as I do not have a free-standing RACK. I want to spend less than $1k on the server. I will be running Plex and using it as a file server and possibly a VPN server. I have a quote from ServerMonkey for a Dell Poweredge T320 with 1x Xeon 2403, 16GB ECC, 1x 1TB HDD, all the trays and the PSU. They quoted me around $860. Any suggestions on alternatives? Is this a good price for a refurb T320? Any build suggestions?

I am in the market for LED headlight conversion kits so I can upgrade the headlights on my 2006 Toyota Highlander Limited. Any suggestions? Im going for 6000K color. I also need new housings unless I can find someone to remove the huge film and burn-through on my existing housings.

What is the Stratis Project? From Red Hat Lead developer Andy Grover Stratis is developed in Rust and Python. White Paper Developer AMA ^^ https://stratis-storage.github.io FAQ: https://stratis-storage.github.io/FAQ.html

figured. I noted in a review that it got less than 2 hours of battery.

I have been advised that Barrel Dongles for charging are stronger than USB-C ones. As such, if you have any recommendations with Barrel Dongle chargers or the rectangle Lenovo style, let me know. I have someone recommending the Asus GL702 with the Ryzen 1700 and RX580. Not sure it will work for what I need though. It is a 17.3" screen after all. Does anyone know about this laptop?

Any suggestions for 13" models? maybe not 2-n-1? How about Ryzen 2700U ones?

I wish I could get the 9575 with 16GB of RAM and 1080p. the i5 variant.

I have placed the 15.6" 1080p 16GB model on auto-notify. What other options do you suggest? Lenovo is on my list of approved vendors. When it comes to soldered aka integrated RAM, If I am going to be limited, go big.

I would prefer 4lbs or less. I had eyed the 15 2-n-1. Yes I am aware of it being 15.6". I just simply reduce the numbering to 15, 14, and 13 inch models. It is somewhat simpler to use that than to constantly say/type 15.6" and 13.3" etc. While I did ask for Vega M, that was just one option as was the tablet feature. I asked that if it is touchscreen that it have tablet mode. If not touchscreen, no tablet mode but instead have a Matte display. I am fine with RX570/580, Vega 10, Vega M, UHD 620 and HD620 graphics. Or whatever the highest intel iGPU is (might be the Vega M ^_^) Battery life should be more than 4 hrs. Preferably, as long as I can get it without sacrificing too much. I have in the past considered the XPS 9370 and XPS 9360 models but was initially turned off by the soldered RAM. Thinkpad's X1 carbon series really attracts me too. Too bad the 8th gen Intel chips are on the 6th Gen X1 Carbon and start around $2200.
