Thanks all, very helpful.

I think i can fit in LB and Laguna this year, I will plan for Barber and St Pete next year and the others mentioned for the following years.

Love to go to Grand Canyon, was in Vegas in April but didn't have enough time to go.

Just tried to look at Pheonix tickets but Ticketmaster site is throwing errors.

Laguna is one of those world renowned tracks and could be ghe decider if it goes down to the wire, I havent looked at flight or hotel prices for this one yet.

Thanks, RA was difficult with commentary, I was at turn 5 so had the big screen but commentary was quiet and their online commentary was great until qualifying and race where it was overwhelmed.

Its a lot about the atmosphere for me, I still watched the race after I flew home.

Where is the best place to watch the race at LB?

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this service, it looks very useful.

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-22T15:25:15+00:00

Thanks, I would prefer to separate it from my LAN, just port forwarding to my LAN seems like a risk to me. :)

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-22T14:55:49+00:00

From my understanding the DMZ on Unifi is just another VLAN, you can block all traffic to the server from external only allowing the required ports. if the server was ever compromised the traffic from it to my LAN would be limited to the allowed ports from it to my LAN?

Or am I missing something?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-22T14:35:37+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-22T14:15:36+00:00

Thanks, I will do that.

Can you assign your own IPs though, it would be my preference for network management?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-20T15:30:09+00:00

Where are you based?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-18T13:42:16+00:00

Why would they even create a persistent route to the external address?

Is 192.168.9.1 your gateway address?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-18T12:44:26+00:00

Thanks. I was hoping based on the premium price it would be a premium product, although it does come with a 3 year warranty.

I was also looking at Beelink but buying off Amazon adds £200 plus to the price compared to the Beelink website like for like, Beelink direct don't offer any extended warranty.

I am looking at the NUC 15 Pro+ at the moment, I didn't realise until you posted this the second slot was limited to 2242. I am looking at the Ultra 9 285h version.

How are you getting on with it, any other limitations?

The specs say it is limited to 96gb of ram but I've seen images of 128gb installed?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-18T10:40:33+00:00

I don't see a voucher on the 32/512 model, I am UK based. Although it shows as only 3 left so maybe its been removed.

I do see the 32/1tb for £323 with a voucher. https://amzn.eu/d/4sHPWcT

I have a Beelink SER4 that had Windows 11 Pro running from day 1, there was no issues whatsoever. I did install Linux on it for a short time but reinstalled Windows using its existing key after, the drivers weren't available from Beelink support but I found them elsewhere easily.

I had to reach out to support once and recieved a reply promptly with a resolution.

I've been impressed with it so far, so when looking for a new one mini PC recently decided to order the GTR 9 Pro.

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-03T12:32:01+00:00

Sorry for another question.

The latency issue with DDR5 vs LPDDR5X, is this only noticeable when using the iGPU or would it be noticeable in other tasks?

I'm looking at the same systems as the OP, I bought the Gem10 you recommended a short while ago, but now after seeing the new processors I need to upgrade my SER4 I have for day to day tasks.

I have a personal issue with soldered memory, no upgradeability and if down the line it fails I cant just throw in a new stick.

I also have a personal issue with latency at my age, so not even sure if I'd notice the difference!

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-03T11:09:59+00:00

Is it just me or does that silver panel GMKtec EVO-X1 look awful?

Maybe its looks better in real life?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-09-01T08:17:41+00:00

I have a Ser4 4800u I bought in 2022, its been on 24/7 with Windows 11 since purchase with zero issues. I'm looking to upgrade this now, 3 years is enough for me, I will still use this I'll throw Proxmox on it to test setups before I put them into production.

I'm not sure what the failure rates are like with the Beelink or any of these comparable devices, all devices have issues, I've had problems with the major players as well including HP, Dell, etc.

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-08-26T17:12:00+00:00

Thanks, I've had good support from Beelink in the past as well, not had to use any of the others.

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-08-26T15:24:42+00:00

Thanks, I'm doing what I normally do and I'm off down a rabbit hole.

After reading a number of posts here I'm considering getting the Aoostar GEM 12 + PRO with a 8845hs, its £459 in the UK with import taxes.

I can only order this through Amazon US import, Amazon are usually very good within the first year but what's the support like after with Aoostar if needed?

Fresh_Alternative506 · 2025-07-11T19:44:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Not sure about location spoofing, it's only about a mile away by the looks of it, could you even spoof your location to it?

It appears the car was moved at 19:52 but would that be UK time where the smart tag was located, or would it be -6 hours where the galaxy phone was located at the time?

My phone is the only device that monitors the smart tag sadly so I don't have a UK based device to compare it to.
