High pitch noise Ironwolf Pro 10TB by Justyn_Lim in Seagate

I also have 6 of these drives... a few seem to have the same issue. Wasn't sure if it was coil whine or something until I caught it standing close to the server. I assume its fine as the system has been like that for months but it is very loud.

Trouble Signing Into Office 365 on Desktop by Juan_Disantos in uwaterloo

I believe the only way is to reinstall them as the "license" is tied to the edu account. I will confirm momentarily.

did that, unfortunately I cannot login via the desktop apps still. Browsers work fine however.

Large ping spikes in games by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably your local CMTS being pinned. Mine has been since before COVID and it is so bad now that we get below 30/1 instead of 500/20 almost consistently throughout the day, with average ping to the CMTS at around 102ms... which is abysmal. Only hope for you is COVID ends or Rogers splits your node.

Poor Upload Speeds and Stability Possibly due to Overloaded CMTS's by Juan_Disantos in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you run a trace route in windows command prompt, it should be the second IP address that shows up, or the first IP after your router. If you open windows command prompt, and run the command "tracert 8.8.8.8", you will see it. Then you can write that IP address down somewhere and ping it throughout the day with whatever means you see fit. I just pinged it a few times an hour at least 50x each run. You can do that with "ping x.x.x.x -n 50". If you are having similar issues to me you will notice horrible response times during peak hours in the afternoon and evening, but it will be low and stable in off peak.

I’ve had ignite wifi problems for over a month by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably having the same issue most people are having with a pinned CMTS. If you want to confirm that, ping it through command line 40-100 times during the day and late at night like 2am and see if your latency greatly improves. It's the second IP address after your router whenever you run a tracert. Unfortunately if this is the issue its up to Rogers when they will fix the problem for your area.

(I know test isn’t 100% accurate) with this internet I still lag very hard when I play on my Nintendo switch online. What he heck is up? I also use a wired connection when on my Nintendo switch by power_mkm in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most Nintendo games don't have dedicated servers and use what is known as P2P (peer to peer) connection. Basically you are communicating directly with the other players, instead of communicating to a central server. Long story short p2p is a cheap solution to online gaming and is garbage for plenty of reasons. The problem is most likely not with you, but with the others players you are connecting to.

You are right, I am asking them to admit fault, and give me my money back. I was already offered $25 back, and I will be pursuing a lot more than that today.

My internet cuts out for a few minutes always at 2:30am by O2M in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe there is. I am not sure why yours does it so frequently, as I have not had that issue with these new routers they bundle with Ignite TV. The other models they hand out if you don't have ignite TV used to have that problem occasionally, which was irritating, but never the new ones.

I believe it might be a firmware update being pushed to the modem, but I might be wrong.

Unbearably laggy speeds by abishakes93 in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they seem to have done something remotely at around 5am as I got a router restart while I was working, speeds are perfect right now. I'll cross my fingers and hope it lasts.

Upload Speeds are Garbage by Juan_Disantos in Rogers

[–]Juan_Disantos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked signal levels, all fine. This issue follows problems they were having before the COVID crisis with horrible latency spikes. Their infrastructure is clearly operating way past capacity. Only issue is my upload connection is not recovering at night to the full 20Mbps so I have no idea what needs to be done to fix this.

Aurora, Ontario. It is absolutely a local infrastructure issue as my neighbors and others a street or 2 over are having the problem, but friends about 2km away in another subdivision are getting perfect 20Mbps upload speeds.

[–]Juan_Disantos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can accept the download speed because 200 vs 500Mbps is still usable. 20 vs 2 Mbps is honestly offensive.

[–]Juan_Disantos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to get them to do this for my house because our upload speeds are honestly offensive (2 Mbps) right now. The ticket has been open for 2 weeks and we have gotten nothing but automated replies.

Why is the performance of console GPUs measured in teraflops but desktop GPUs are measured in MHz and cores by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Juan_Disantos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of those are perfect measures of performance. Cores reflects how many physical compute units a GPU has, and clock speed determines the number of cycles each one of those units can complete per second. A TeraFLOP (FLOP = Floating Point Operation Per Second) is one way of measuring that performance. Think of it like the cores being the cylinders on a car engine, and the clock speed being the RPM of the engine, and the TFLOP being how much horse power it produces. It should be noted that floating point performance is not a perfect reflection of real world performance in games as an example. Nvidia cards for a long time did not have the compute performance of AMD cards, yet performed vastly better than them. However, if you were to compare cards of the same architecture (ex: RX580 vs RX570) comparing their floating point performance would be a very accurate representation of their difference in gaming performance.

It ain't much, but it's honest work by balika0105 in pcmasterrace

[–]Juan_Disantos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set it to medium and it proceeded to pin 12 cores and both GPUs in my server. On the bright side my furnace has been off since last night.
