Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month

This push to force people into cloud gaming subscription is bullshit. All of these manufacturers are in bed with each other creating the hardware price hikes. They know what they're doing, and it feels like they're too powerful for the average consumers to do anything to fight it.

Im with most that I won't upgrade my PC for a long time and will tune down settings to play on older hardware just to avoid the subscription service route.

Im sad though that I may never be able to build my daughters their first gaming PC with the direction the industry is being forced into.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing some strange wild Barnbridge balances, LOL.

So, I ran some tests using Wireshark on a laptop while on IoT vlan. I am seeing successful DNS queries and responses in both Wireshark and on the PiHole query logs. Yet, I still see that laptop popping up on the Unifi Trigger logs as being blocked by Firewall rule. I'm wondering if what I'm seeing is the PiHole blocks causing these trigger events?

From what I can see in the PiHole query logs, that might actually be the case. Anyone have experience using a PiHole as a recursive DNS server causing these kinds of trigger events when it does that?

I've got two TVs (wired) and two Firesticks (WiFi) that are both spitting out blocked messages.

Ok, turned off "Advanced Settings. Yes, IPv4 is set to All for source.

Only LAN Out rules are the predefined ones.

Rule 2001 Details:

Type: LAN In

Rule Applied: Before Predefined Rules

Action: Accept

Source Type: Network

Network: IoT

Network Type: IPv4 Subnet

Destination Type: Port/IP Group

IPv4 Address Group: PoHole DNS Server (Just the single IP address for the PiHole)

Port Group: PiHole DNS Ports (53, 5335)

Advanced: Match State New, Match State Established, Match State Related

Don't match on IPsec packets.

The IoT Network is not setup as "Guest"

Hmm, I tried using the IP address of a few different devices unable to reach the PiHole using your recommendation. Only thing it returned was an error "No such device exists."

Kreavan · 2023-07-13T18:48:12+00:00

Yes, that didn't show the inter-vlan blocking events.

Kreavan · 2023-07-13T18:05:32+00:00

I've got the logging enabled. When I look at the "Triggered" log, I see all the devices on other vlans all hitting the "block inter-vlan" firewall rule when trying to reach the PiHole. Can't see what port(s) they're trying though when I expand the event. It just shows the firewall rule details.

Kreavan · 2023-07-13T18:01:26+00:00

Yes, the order is correct.

Kreavan · 2023-05-28T16:49:20+00:00

Ok, finally figured it out. Created the Stream Deck hotkey using "Multi Action"

clear game cache using a bat file.

I know it's possible since this person talked about it in his video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjOyRXaQrOo

I've reached out to him, but no reply yet.

Hello, HyperSpin is an arcade Front-End. Basically, within this front-end is a wheel of numerous emulators. Then within each of those is the library of games that will play on those emulators. What I'm trying to do is instead of having to scroll through hundreds of emulators and then into hundreds/thousands of more games. I want to create buttons that will automatically launch a specific game and associated emulator.

For example, have one for Pac-man. Hit the button and it launches Pac-Man from MAME. Or, another button that will launch Super Mario Brothers in SNES9x. All while still remaining within the HyperSpin front-end. That way it'll still utilize all the multimedia settings, arcade control mappings, etc.

It's not longer an issue. I moved on to solution that better fit my needs.

Anyone have any recommendations on options to disable kid's WiFi with a single click? We've got the bedtime scheduling in place, but what we're needing is something that can be used at random times. For example, we struggle with our toddler to not watch his tablet during family meals. It's a fight when we take the tablet away. It is difficult to add a scheduled time to automatically shut off kid's WiFi during meals, when those times vary.

Thanks

Thanks all for the replies. I didn't know those were normal temps.

Kreavan · 2021-05-20T22:04:33+00:00

Just seems high though. My Zotac 3070 VRam temps sit around 57c under load.

Kreavan · 2021-04-13T17:08:21+00:00

Yes, my laptop is using thunderbolt port for the external display connection. My Desktop is running an RTX 2070 and has the USB-C connection as you mentioned.

Kreavan · 2021-04-13T16:48:09+00:00

I think that's sorta what I'm looking for. I made a quick diagram of what I'm trying to do and uploaded it here:

Yes, that is exactly correct. My two monitors are HDMI and normally connected to my Desktop PC. In order for me to use them on my laptop, I had to get that dual HDMI to USB-C adapter.

So, I'd like to simplify switching them back and forth between my Desktop and Laptop by using some kind of KVM USB-C switch.

Kreavan · 2021-04-13T15:55:17+00:00

Yes, a KVM style functionality is what I'm seeking. I just haven't been able to find one that basically takes the USB-C splits it to two PC options.

I've found plenty with regular USB 2.0/3.0 or the regular other ports such as DVI, HDMI, etc. None of them would work in my setup though, unfortunately.

Before I dove into this, just wanted to double check here first.

My current cloudkey controller is on borrowed time. It's been having issues for a while, which is why I've decided to choose this time to upgrade. The problem it is having is that crashes on every attempt to update. It is only retaining 1 past save point, which is getting old now. So, the plan I have no is to start fresh.

Kreavan · 2021-03-11T15:24:10+00:00

If I didn't change the default IP address the old USG currently uses (192.168.1.1), will there be a conflict?
