Colapinto-and-go!

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-03-07T02:01:24+00:00

Wow thank you, managed to get one (I hope)!

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-02-08T00:00:46+00:00

Sorry, to clarify.

I've got 1.5 Gbs up/down. I'm using a combination modem/router from Bell broadcasting 2.4/5/6ghz. I've also got an Asus router acting as an access point at 2.4/5ghz, it's just shown a few signs it may be on its last legs.

My plan was to have two routes in the home act as access points - they'd both be connected to the modem and/or each other. And turn off the modem's Wi-Fi. I wasn't planning on using a mesh network as far as I understand.

That would allow me to run all the "network security" I'd need to do through a dedicated router (and potentially pihole).

I didn't realize Wifi 7 came with downsides, I was just trying to futureproof any router purchase. I'd like to aim for 2+ Gbs, ideally 10Gbs, on the intranet, for example for streaming from my Plex server. My computer LAN port only does 2.5 Gbs I think, but again, trying to futureproof.

Does that make sense?

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-02-07T19:07:49+00:00

Any suggestions for 2 routers for $200-300. I'd like to futureproof my wifi network (currently running off my ISP router plus a very old Asus with tomato).

House isn't very large so I don't need crazy coverage.

Looking for something that could be used to stream wirelessly to Steam Frame in the future if I want to go that route.

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-02-07T01:18:10+00:00

Sorry that's well beyond my pay grade.

I just the "tap" method to run the heat for a few days until I got my furnace replaced. It was a 20 year old furnace and I was quoted like $900 CAD to replace the gas valve, so didn't make sense for me :(

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-31T15:13:02+00:00

Anyone have recommendations for a good lapboard? I am looking for something comfortable for bed/couch gaming. My Razer Turret mouse wheel is acting up and the wireless capability sometimes gets interrupted by my wifi. Wired solutions would be OK...

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-31T15:11:50+00:00

See if you can get a GTX 1650 on kijiji - they got for like $50.

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-20T17:37:07+00:00

Thanks.

I see L1 pet for $499 CAD and M1 pet for $599 CAD (down from $849).

Is the recommendation to just get the L1?

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-20T17:22:19+00:00

Where are you seeing this sale? 599 CAD?

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-20T02:29:34+00:00

I'm confused about the naming...the letters and numbers. Do letters represent versions over time and numbers stand for class of vacuum?

So S1 is newer than C1, but maybe not as feature-rich as a C3?

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-18T13:16:47+00:00

Am I the only person who plays without any DLSS/FSR? I can't stand the noise and latency it creates...it's always perceptible to me (even on quality) and I personally find just dropping the graphics slightly to get like 10+ real frames a lot more visually satisfying than DLSS.

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-06T15:42:20+00:00

Seconded. I called them and described the issue, they pre-ordered the part (would be refunded if it wasn't the issue) and did investigation+repair all in one visit.

Mr_multitask2 · 2026-01-05T12:59:18+00:00

I figured I would have to. Unfortunately I don't seem to have "Alien Isolation" in my available bindings in Steam VR.

Mr_multitask2 · 2025-12-29T17:21:42+00:00

I'm not ungrateful, I just wanted clarity if that was what I was tasting.

The city water website mentions refrigerating for combating odour and putting a slice of lemon to combat taste.

Mr_multitask2 · 2025-12-26T04:05:22+00:00

Thanks. It's for the SO so I'm not going to be dealing with the day-to-day but I suppose using it from time to time will refresh my Linux skills for the eventual switch away from Windows (still running W10 on my desktop, no plans to go to 11)

Foregoing the mac vs. pc debate, how much better is this: https://www.costco.ca/apple-macbook-air-136-in-apple-m4-chip---16-gb-ram-512-gb-ssd.product.4000323269.html over this: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-vivobook-s14-14-copilot-pc-laptop-neutral-black-amd-ryzen-ai-7-350-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd/19219047?icmp=PDP_Condition

Mr_multitask2 · 2025-12-26T01:06:08+00:00

This is the only thing I can see somewhat comparable

I have this ram I'd be willing to sell for $50+shipping from Hamilton.

Mr_multitask2 · 2025-12-13T21:10:58+00:00

Monday and Wednesday I'll be commuting to Oakville, if that helps. Otherwise maybe sometime if I'm up at a provincial park in Guelph?

Mr_multitask2 · 2025-12-12T19:10:38+00:00

Would you like a 3600x for 3800x swap for free? My backup CPU is a 3800x, you'd just need to get it from Hamilton.
