    Did my Ubiquiti Dream Machine / UDM start dying?

    All of the sudden I've noticed games are rubber banding all over the place, as of yesterday at noon. Call ISP they say all my channels look great, they restart my mode, (Surfboard S33) issue still persists. Ethernet or wifi, testing this with two different devices, still the same. If I plug a...

    Schiit Fulla + Mod Mic 3.5mm, still getting white noise

    I'd like to increase the quality of my microphone when I'm playing games. Things are mostly fine except the white noise, but that's super annoying. Is this a $50 problem or a $500 problem? I currently have a Modmic with a 3.5mm jack(not usb) and it goes in to a Schiit Fulla which connects to my...

    Protection from brownouts, what do I need?

    Belkin and APC aren't exactly clear, APC only mentions two products specifically for brownouts, but they do nothing else. Then, on their cheapest UPS, where there's no mention in the description, the documentation PDF mentions that the battery will protect against brownouts. So do I need a...

    Bleh. Formatted my 12TB drive by accident when installing W11.

    In my defense I had seen the "select which partitions you want to format" screen like 30 times that day at work. The bad The drive was fully encrypted with Veracrypt When I was using Linux I was accessing the drive, not sure if that matters. It was NTFS for sure. The good I was able to mount...

    -Was it mined with? whattya think! Nothing crazy though. Only selling because I upgraded to a 4080 Super. This thing runs great. I believe I still have the box the new card was shipped in so I can probably repack it in that. I'll probably send it out USPS. If you need a DP cable I can throw...

    frequent, brief packet loss at home

    ughhh It's about once every 20 minutes for maybe 5 seconds, which is still pretty disruptive for stuff like streaming or online gaming Had ISP come out three times, replaced the router twice. I'm plugged in ethernet, no wireless. Machine is fully up to date (experiencing issue on multiple...

    FS Far Cry 6 Ryzen code $15

    I keep forgetting to do this. It says the following, which means you need a new Ryzen chip installed. I think it has to be a 5800x or better but I'm not sure, I've seen others say the 5600x is not eligible. I prefer Venmo. NEW! AMDRewards.com Q3 2020 Ryzen Token Redemption Process Step 1...

    Corrupt archive, anything besides scanpst?

    Hey there this is a tough one. I've got a corrupt archive, it was working just fine in Win7 but when I copied it over to Win10 it said it was corrupt and I can't even attach it to my Outlook. And now I can't even go back in the Win7 device and see the emails in there either? So I ran scanpst...

    I give up. Can't save to my storage drive anymore

    If you have a system dual booting on one drive and a second drive for storage and you can't write to the storage drive all of the sudden, but you can read from it, try this sudo umount /dev/mapper/veracrypt4 sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=000 /dev/mapper/veracrypt4 /media/veracrypt4 If you get...

    How to disable Nvidia's telemetry in Linux?

    I'm on my most successful installation of Linux ever right now. Almost everything is complete, so now I'm at the point where I'm getting picky. I'm switching to Linux mostly to get away from Windows telemetry. However, in Windows I was able to stop Nvidia's telemetry using one of the many...

    Best way to get truly random shuffle in any media player

    The way VLC handles playlists for how I like to watch TV is far from ideal. I have a folder called TV, and in it are 10 shows, and each show has 10 seasons, and each season is 20 episodes. 2,000 individual episodes. What I want is to hit play, with shuffle enabled, and have it completely...

    Latest Windows Update has my games stuttering like crazy

    165hz monitor, 980ti, nothing else has really changed. CSGO has always been buttery smooth, and net_graph is still showing high FPS but even after two restarts the game is running like ass with these tiny little hiccups all over the place. NV control panel still shows 1440p@165fps and the...

    cheap PC for dual link DVI monitor

    Hey I have a friend that needs a new computer and wants to use his old Dell 30" monitor. My understanding is the only way to get 2560*1600 is with a DVI cable and a card that supports dual Link DVI. What are his cheapest options new? He actually has some old low end card that will work but I'm...

    App + WiFi = downloading images

    At a casino, they have their own "app." it's not much more than a wrapper, and when I'm on the casino's WiFi, on three separate occasions, I've noticed a folder in my gallery called "0" that has 100 stock photos the casino uses in advertising. Pictures of the restaurants, pools, etc. What the...

    Ways to connect speakers to a PC?

    Right now I have this monlith attached to my computer with a cable that splits from a 3.5mm jack to a left-right on the other end. Then my speakers plug in to the receiver. The receiver's on the fritz, cheap, and seriously big. Why are all of these things 17" long? I only need 2-channel, to...

    Let's spend some money making my machine quieter

    Setup in signature. The NH-D14 is only running one fan, the NF-P12 (non PWM, non Redux) at 600-90RPM depending on application. The problem is the video card, for sure. I run zero case fans and the PSU fan has yet to come on. Temps are reasonable at 55 under load, but even at the lowest fan...

    i7 920 to: i5 6600k or i7 4790k?

    Do you guys think a 6600k will be faster than a 920 in applications that can utilize virtual cores? My 920 can only do 3.4, and the IPC is obviously a lot better on the 6600k, but 4 threads is no joke. I'd be pretty disappointed to spend $500 to find out that in the most time-consuming tasks my...

    Computer hangs during installs, is it the X-25M?

    i7 [email protected] 8GB ram x25m 80GB It's always done this, and I want to upgrade my SSD now, if that will fix it. If it will definitely fix it with any new SSD, the general consensus is get whatever's cheapest per GB right? Would I notice a difference between the cheapest SSD and an 850...
