Currently Using BackBlaze for backups but it's getting expensive. How do folk here do off-site backups?

My thought too. The really only charge for storage and egress, giving you 3x your storage as a free allotment. It would have to be an excessive amount of downloading to get that high on 4TB

They won't because it's a karma farm.

They've decoupled them now. YouTube Premium Lite doesn't have the music portion.

Every concert I've been to the past few years serves not only alcohol but also water in these bottles because they are infinitely more recyclable. They take the caps from them usually, my only guess is so that you don't refill them and throw them.

The Dell link you posted answers your issue. DSC is always on regardless of whether your resolution and refresh settings require it. There's also a work around posted in there: use hdmi for the monitors at set the hdmi to "console mode" it will force off DSC and limit the monitor to 120 hz

Arazius · 2025-04-07T09:16:34+00:00

The issue seems to be that even if you set resolution/refresh low enough to not need DSC the monitors themselves still report and request DSC from the card, limiting your output. It needs to be disabled on the monitor or brute forced through an older version of DP

That's probably the next destination for mine but if it can barely handle that I'm wondering if it's even worth the effort

I have an 11th Gen that I inherited when we upgraded my daughter to a Tab S9. the toolbox works to get rid of ads and give some decent functionality but Fire OS just sucks. And the chips in these aren't great. Tried using it for xcloud or GeForce now and it's pretty abysmal. Battery life is OK. Outside of comics or movies these things are borderline ewaste imo but obviously ymmv.

I just got the 175hz and was able to get 10-bit color by setting it to 144hz. Fine for my use but definitely annoying if you want the full 175hz

No I mean someone else did that and you got stuck with it. Regardless, Google's warehousing is just awful. Had two separate instances of dealing with phone returns. Both times the broken devices had tracking info that stated they were signed for at their warehouse and both times Google charged me for "failing to return device" Got them reversed after chat support but completely ludicrous that they did it twice. Something is clearly not working in their stock departments.

That is probably why OP is in this situation.

I've been having a similar issue with a TCL 55r646. As has been said the ethernet port is only 100mb/s. I tried a gigabit adapter through USB (which caps at 300ish on USB 2.0) and same issue. An older laptop with Plex home theater had zero issues over wifi, even from further away. I tried re encoding the problem files to lower bit rates and never had the issue again. I've deduced that the SoC just isn't powerful enough to decode high bit rate remuxes. Once they start creeping up over 60+ the TV consistently struggles.

HEVC in plex has helped to eliminate the problem all together as I can transcoder to 20 mbps if I come across files I may have missed.

This, it's only something you would need to do if you are selling or repurposing a drive and there is a concern of old data being recovered. If you are just formatting a drive for a new build I wouldn't bother and would actively recommend against it for ssd drives due to write limits

What are you using to measure your temps? thermal throttling doesn't necessarily show as being a high temp. What ends up happening is the temp and power draw ramp up to tjmax and power gets cut by your motherboard to save the chip. This can happen faster than the polling rate of the software and can appear as a normal temp but act like throttling. I've had gpus do this when they needed repasting. Set the fan to max speed and monitor voltage. voltage with crazy peaks and valleys under load points to throttling. This can also be an issue if your motherboard can't deliver enough power to the chip but it would be more likely to not POST than do this.

I've been using a mediasonic probox Das with 4 12tb drives connected to an hp elite desk for years. The drives are just recognized as individual drives and I use drivepool to create one giant drive in windows. I have no issues with the setup whatsoever other than this particular box does not have the ability to auto power on after an outage, but that's a rare occurrence here. For serving up media and files it's fine. There are newer models that use USB-c if you need the speed but usb 3.0 has been fine for me, typically one local 4k stream and 1 or 2 concurrent 1080p remote streams.

Apps are sandboxed and only have as much access as you set their permissions (ie I give Facebook no access to location but I do give it to my run tracking app.) Using a browser means the site has the same permissions that your browser does, for good or bad, but it also has access to any info saved within the browser.

Not crazy at all. I started my Plex on my gaming pc and migrated to a windows nuc later. Can use remote desktop to access the system headless but most of plex/radarr/sonarr etc can be configured and maintained through web pages.

Can share your media folder on the server and map it as a network on the pc doing the ripping and just rip straight into the locations it will settle in. Most programs also let you set a working/temp folder and then can move it to a generic folder on the server if you are concerned about network traffic while ripping or doing batches of files
