What are computer gadgets everyone should own?

Jump

  • YubiKey

    • Pi-hole or AdGuard for home dns-based blocking?

    Jump

  • Adguard is a little more refined imho.

    Ran pinhole for ages and used scripts to update it.

    Adguard, everything is built into the UI. Although custom rules for certain clients are a little hard in Adguard.

    Now I have a dual system.

    Adguard is a secondary and DoH as my primary. That way I have DNS services regardless of if the internet is up or down.

    • Do it for your own reason rule

    Jump

  • Should I poop now or wait until after my set?

    Is that a fart?

    • Would you say enthusiast grade or business grade products are better quality?

    Jump

  • I always try to buy more enterprise hardware such as SSDs and HDDs.

    They're usually cheaper used because of their lifecycle.

    I just bought 2 x 3.83TB nvme drives for $160 a pop.

    They have 5.4PB of endurance and I received them with only 60TB written.

    Same goes for hard drives. I have some Seagate exos that is just about $10/TB.

    They have a MTBF of 2.5 million hours.

    • YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users

    Jump

  • No. YouTube ads are servered under the same DNS record.

    • What Cloud storage solution do you swear to?

    Jump

  • Backblaze

    I also have my 160tb home server for anything not vital.

    • How do you backup your data?

    Jump

    • HP fails to derail claims that it bricks scanners on multifunction printers when ink runs low

    Jump

  • All of my printers are on a VLAN with a dead gateway.

    LAN access only. And if it doesn't work from day one on that dead VLAN, then I return it.

    • What's the cheapest online storage that you know of?

    Jump

  • Backblaze.

    9/month for unlimited storage.

    I'm at 4tb stored.

    • Nobel Prize goes to scientists behind mRNA Covid vaccines

    Jump

  • Is this a YouTube advertisement??

    • Where is love for non honey bees?

    Jump

  • We have a bee hotel and it's so damn cute seeing these little solitary bees filling up the holes.

    We probably have 20-30 nests.

    • VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it

    Jump

  • The Fresnel lenses give me eye fatigue.

    • But my WiFi is just fine!

    Jump

  • No shit?

    I mean copper runs at 2/3 the speed of light.

    Wireless is pretty much the speed of light.

    I thought they used dedicated fiber for their links.

    • Apple Explains Why Only USB-C AirPods Pro Support Lossless Audio With Vision Pro

    Jump

  • Yeah wiki also says.

    Bluetooth 2.0 already supports 3mbps or (2.1mbps real world)

    The bit rate of EDR is 3 Mbit/s, although the maximum data transfer rate (allowing for inter-packet time and acknowledgements) is 2.1 Mbit/s.

    BT5 expands on the Low Energy specifications to allow 2mbps burst.

    Bluetooth 5 provides, for BLE, options that can double the speed (2 Mbit/s burst) at the expense of range, or provide up to four times the range at the expense of data rate.

    Also 802.11n already runs at 54mbps for a 20mhz wide channel.

    • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 rumors: 2.9 GHz boost clock, 1.5 TB/s bandwidth and 128MB of cache

    Jump

  • Yep just 24gb.

    Tdp was another huge consideration.

    • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 rumors: 2.9 GHz boost clock, 1.5 TB/s bandwidth and 128MB of cache

    Jump

  • I went with an RTX A5000 because of the dumb ram limitations

    • Russian Submarine Shows Massive Damage After Ukrainian Strike

    Jump

  • Maybe so they won't know where it's being held?

    Maybe it got moved to a new drydock to get fixed and they want to obscure where it is.

    • Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen?

    Jump

  • Yep, I'm one as well. No more routes to fuck up. No more vlans to trunk by accident.

    • SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million

    Jump

  • Different wave lengths.

    Shorter wave lengths are more affected by rain.

    • The War Thunder forum has once again been used to share restricted plane documentation - this time about the F-117 Nighthawk

    Jump

  • There are a few things left. They still use Luneburg lenses for opfor and non-us exercises.
