    Streaming quality questions

    What do you mean that 8-10 hours isn't much time? (side note: Growing up, my parents thought 2 hours of TV was too much) Using Netflix bandwidth numbers of 1Mbps for SD, I'll get 1Mbps * 3600sec * 8hrs == 28,800 Mbps == 28.8Gbps. Seems close to what I'm seeing. Cox also has a bandwidth...

    Streaming quality questions

    Hardware ranges from: Roku box Roku stick I believe they also have a built-in application on a SmartTV for Netflix. On Roku, they run Peacock, Disney+, Paramount+, Hulu, and Netflix apps. I'm sure I know how bandwidth is managed on a computer or tablet, where as you said the software can...

    Streaming quality questions

    Not sure if this would be the right place, but figured it's one of the closest. I'm trying to track down some high bandwidth usage for a family. They received a notice from the cable company about coming close to their 1TB cap, along with an upsell to buy more bandwidth. Cox shows 50% being...

    Any other routers that offer the Traffic Meter feature that Netgear has?

    Seems like I would need to setup a dedicate box for this.

    USB-C cable recommendations

    I saw an article where an active cable just had a special chip built-in, as opposed to some extra power to it, but I was hoping not to have to deal with adding anything between my PC and the monitor. My desk is also pretty full, so having to add another USB hub is something I'd like to avoid...

    USB-C cable recommendations

    Guessing I'm the only person that didn't realize the USB-C cables also differed based on type until now. Still, if you'ee looking for longer cables, cablematters is a brand that worked for me. Got the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 cable and got that speed. Anker didn't sell anything longer than 1m, so not...

    Best Speakers for Music System?

    I was going to comment on your first picture that the keyboard was attached to the JBLs and you watch TV through those small speakers (Bose?) :)

    Is the SanDisk Extreme microSDXC still the SD card to get for the steam deck?

    Are these games that support Linux natively or running through WINE or a Windows VM?

    Best Speakers for Music System?

    One piece of advice I'd see over on https://www.avsforum.com/ with regards to purchasing speakers online is to make sure you can return them. I haven't heard the speakers you purchased, but in general, I remember reading that Klipsch tends to be brighter than most people are used to. I heard...

    USB-C cable recommendations

    I just bought an external nvme enclosure, as I wanted to clone the drive I was planning on replacing. GIven I was using a USB-C 3.1 gen 2 port, I was amazed at how slow it was. I started testing the various USB-C cables I had lying around, collected over time from Galaxy phones...

    Is the SanDisk Extreme microSDXC still the SD card to get for the steam deck?

    I'm curious. I got the 512GB steam deck, because I figure if it was enough as my MMO games drive, then it should be good enough for a portable. How many games are you all installing that you need 1TB on top of the internal space? I can barely find enough time to swap between three games, as I'm...

    Migrating Windows boot drive to larger drive

    Thank you for all the responses. I guess I should have added the types, in case it made a difference. I am replacing an SSD drive and I bought an nvme enclosure to use for the new drive when I migrate. I'll take a look at aoemi and Paragon, though free is always great. Not a fan of purchasing...

    Migrating Windows boot drive to larger drive

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I have experience with migrating regular data drives. Normally, if I'm replacing a boot drive, I'm going full re-install. However, I need to help a friend migrate their system and they don't want to deal with the re-installation of every...

    Any other routers that offer the Traffic Meter feature that Netgear has?

    This feature is one that I found very useful at times. I can specify a monthly data cap and it will kill any more traffic once reached. I haven't found any other routers to offer it. It's not related to bandwidth QoS, which I would say is applied at a client level. This is for the entire group...

    Need advice on access point with switch (but without the rest of the router features)

    Damn, missed the notification for this response and just read it. Looks like what I need, though calling it a WAN port makes me want to read manual. Read the manual and from what I can tell, it's basically what I'm looking for. Thank you.
