    Ryzen 5700X3D for $210

    It's actually $205 now on Amazon as well, an extra $5 off (sold & shipped by Amazon.com) but it looks like delivery takes a few weeks. Worth it IMHO. There is a new seller called EDPT LLC selling for $184.90, I would avoid that as it is most likely a scam.

    Ryzen 5700X3D for $210

    This question can't be answered without more information. How many of your clients direct play (which doesn't really tax the CPU) vs transcode? The files that are being transcoded, what resolution and encoding are they? How many simultaneous streams do you encounter? Does the 3700x get...

    The system cannot find the path specified

    Create a user where the share is being hosted with full read and write permissions to that directory. Create an SMB share of that directory. On the client connecting to it, map a network drive (e.g. Z:\) and select "Connect using different credentials". The folder to map will be...

    Should I use Windows 7?

    I provided links to open source projects on Github. So you can actually see what they're doing in the background... These aren't random programs/scripts made by nefarious parties.

    Should I use Windows 7?

    To what extent are you using consumer Windows as a file server? You obviously aren't doing Active Directory or anything overly advanced or else you would need Windows Server (I know you briefly tried it and said you couldn't figure out permissions?? well that's a basic thing to learn if you're...

    Cell Phone Data Recovery

    You should be able to remove the eMMC chip and then you'll need something like this. Tagging in Google AI here:

    How to install OS from USB when USB legacy support is disabled?

    Just curious- what's your use case for disabling USB legacy support in the first place?

    Should I use Windows 7?

    Why not Linux or FreeBSD? They are so much lighter and have no telemetry/bloat (though this might vary with what Linux distro you choose.)

    Is this SAMA 1000w any good?

    I would buy it for that price. 10 year warranty, sold by the official SAMA store and fulfilled by Newegg. And Newegg is the RMA processor according to this (on the About Us page.) If it was crap, the storefront would have way worse reviews and Newegg wouldn't partner with them in such a manner.

    ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra

    Boycott Asus phones until they allow you to unlock the bootloader. They are dragging their feet and it's absolutely BS you don't have control over a device you purchase that isn't from a carrier. At this point who knows if they will ever allow it...

    Need 16x-8x configuration at same time. Are there any consumer boards?

    Why were you annoyed after you bought the motherboard? You knew very well going into it what the expansion slots were. You didn't even have to look at the manual, simply a picture of the motherboard could do. But I would always suggest looking at the manual before a motherboard purchase...

    Pixel 7 / Pixel 7 Pro / Pixel 7a

    Every Pixel phone I've ever had, I immediately unlock the bootloader. This gives you the freedom to flash any build of Google's Factory Images at any point. I even update them this way, by changing the line in the flash-all.bat from "fastboot flash -w" to "fastboot flash" which avoids wiping...

    Need advice on packing an open box motherboard for a friend

    It's fine to ship it with the CPU installed already. The RAM I would not leave installed. And yea usually the RAM box is small so it should fit fine.

    Need 16x-8x configuration at same time. Are there any consumer boards?

    Nobody wants this except you. Probably an exaggeration but very few people desire this. I don't think you ever responded to this, thoughts?
