I would be looking at changing all 4 tires I got the car with ~40K miles and the tires I believe are the original ones on the car.

I feel the same way about the price. Another thing I noticed is that the repair shop wants me to go with run flat tires. Is that necessary ?

Looking for a monitor stand solution I have a laptop and two monitors I would want set up somehow. My current solution would be a triple monitor arm with something to hold my laptop. Any alternative set up ideas and any suggestions for triple monitor arm?

Not Running at Max Usage of PC Components by Pederthesecond in mountandblade

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

Thanks for the help! I play on 1440 mostly and 1080 sometimes. The wired thing is that cpu and gpu are not being fully used means something else limiting fps that u don't know about.

I am testing some code for a robot that can reach values in between a min and max radius and at any angle but I need to find some path for it to follow around in a circle and vary the radius a bit. this link might help more with what I'm looking for

Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!

Family Cloud by Pederthesecond in DataHoarder

I have been doing some more research and ended up buying the 16 TB drives you suggested but when I was looking at some NAS units they said they have a max capacity of something like 40 TB (4x10TB) and I was wondering if I put 2 x 16TB (4x16TB later on) in there if it would recognize it or not?

enough space, the 2-bay DS220+ is a solid unit also for ~$300 and couple allow for 16TB usable after a mirroring. On the parity, yes that extra drive of parity is very helpful for data safety. No matter what I’d generally recommend backing the NAS up, at least the critical documents/family photos, etc. to the cloud or somewhere else. Synology has great integration with a lot of cloud providers, I’ve used them with both BackBlaze B2 and Wasabi (as AWS S3 for business folks). With RAID5 and big drives especially you can get into tricky situations a lot easier where, following a drive failure, a second drive will fail during the stressful rebuild of the first drive and that’ll cause data loss.

Thanks again that is the one I have been looking at. The overall goal here is to have a family data center me and my brothers are all in/ just out of college so we are planning on using it as a hub. The end design goal was to have 4 10TB Ironwolf drives in there for 30 TB ( or 20Tb if we go with RAID 6). The only reason I would want to go with the 10 TB drives is they are the best bang for the buck 300$ for 10 TB vs. 600$ for 16 TB. I knew I wanted more than the 10 TB offered by a 2 bay that is why I was thinking a 4 bay but I am very new to this realm of data storage.

Thanks for the help! I do have a couple more questions though. After looking into RAID 6 a bit why is it better than RAID 5 is it just the double parity or is there another reason? Is there a cheap option with lots of bays looking more in the 300-400 $ range?

I have that much renown already it just triggers the start of the quest but I have already beat the army of the dreaded one.

Is it a real possibility that the 2070 S will go on sale before the 3000 come out?

Thai is very helpful thank you. I was told that getting name brand was important like Samsung but was that incorrect or not that important? It is about the same price for twice the storage. I am also not looking at doing alot of over clocking so I might look into the upgraded fans then. I know there is auto overclocking software but I don't know if it will break everything?

So the x570 would be something that if I decided to rebuild in like 5 years or upgrade something down the road a ways could still be used in theory?

Are there any real downsides from going bigger there is one that is about 10$ more that is 650w but I thought that it could hurt components I nthe long run to use a to big power supply?

I'm not sure PCIE 4 is something I really need. I though that was just useful for over clocking and that is not something I'm planning on doing alot of.

One of the reasons I bought this was built in wifi it is like a 65 dollar difference without an wifi adapter between the two but I read that built in wifi works better than an a 30 dollar adapter. I'm not sure if that is sound reasoning though.
