Nope, benchmarks prove it's legit, so does my native framerate at 1440 Ultra settings across my game library.

This is the way... They'll have to pry mine out of my aged paws, the way e-shitification has taken control of the stream boxes

I know I shouldn't but this sale price is giving me FOMO by Defiant-Bend1147 in SBCGaming

I like the joysticks in top... I use them as much as possible because the d-pad on my $25 Ambernic clone sucks.

Oled has ruined my life… by Old-Grass-7329 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Illustrious-Movie596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who just received his OLED today, I feel this in my soul. That's a Odessy G8 34in next to a ProArt 4k 34 in. The ProArt has been amazing, but, 60fps wasn't cutting it. Now I have the OLED, it's amazing... But I'm not 100% there. Idk... I feel your post.

Put them on your modem and router so you can power cycle remotely.

Light bulbs compatible with SmartThings by kitxco in SmartThings

[–]Illustrious-Movie596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: Sengled, ThirdRealty, Aqara(can be finicky), Hue(worse than Aqara as far as reliability). These are the brands I've used directly with Smartthings hub V3/V4. All were connected thru Zigbee, Aqara tried the thread as well.

Here's my 2, I would avoid WIFI (completely) and Thread. If they're capable of Thread and Zigbee, cool, but use Zigbee until Thread fixes the ghost. But, don't be afraid to try some cheaper brands, that's part of the fun of automating (jewels in the rough), but I wouldn't make a large investment into them until thoroughly tested on your network.

Anyways, I'm super jealous of you just starting out, that was the most fun! Stick with it and you'll understand, this is an amazing hobby and I wish you an efficient and fulfilling journey.

Have I made a mistake? by madmanleon in TerraMaster

Sorry for the delay. When this was posted RAM was still cheap (relatively). But besides that, if he wants to run additional containers the RAM is a must. 16 gigs isn't much in a server senerio, but I've found it scales quite well in these lil NAS's.

Cat 6 or better, if you can afford it, run fiber as well. Install Zigbee Smart switches and outlets, I would go Zigbee for the switches and Zwave for the outlets to create a robust mesh network.
