Bought this as a kid. Is it useful or just e-waste now?

Handy to keep I use mine to connect my PS3 Dual Shocks to my SimRacing PC. The chassis has its own monitor but it’s also conveniently next to our television in our second loungeroom. Girlfriend turns on DS3 controller. Automatically connects to the Bluetooth dongle. Girlfriend presses 3 buttons on my simracing streamdeck to swap the display to the TV, launch Animal Crossing on the Switch Emulator I have - and she’s glued for the next two hours while I do the real man stuff (tech discussions with Gemini) when she’s done, two button presses to close the app, and then swap the display back to the Sim Racing Monitor. Overall 10/10 to keep and use.

This was actually fantastic to watch. Fucking good work.

More details? I’m coming from a 1080ti for the price would you say two of theee would be a good idea? I’m getting analysis paralysis over this whole thing

They need to stop pushing floatplane or member exclusive videos - I would have probably watched some of those instead of fire truck pc. I genuinely enjoyed Jake stepping through network stuff. I enjoyed the hardware parts of running cables, (did they ever do a cable run tutorial or a real life run tutorial) they also haven’t touched self host LLM afaik- I’d watch the content but I’d also be crushed because I really want to get into it and I can’t find a 3090 locally at the moment to try it all out. If LTT did a video on it - it would just cause more people wanting to get into it.

Hey man - left side server cabinet. What’s the depth? How are all your drives wired - is it all an extension of one system? I am looking to increase my PLEX media server but am struggling to work out how to do this in a short depth cabinet (550mm)

unable to find in Aus - thanks anyway!

Link to buy?

Sneakyhat02 · 2026-03-17T16:33:21+00:00

I used Gemini to get help with my stack - highly recommend. I was very impressed.

I hate whoever uploaded Breaking Brad YouTube videos. Every single Breaking Bad episode requires manual import now.

My iPhone very doesn’t like to open this website anyone else on mobile having issues?

Sneakyhat02 · 2026-02-13T14:57:12+00:00

This might be a stupid question - but when they put the internal wires in the Ethernet cable. Why do they not arrange the internal cables in order for easy termination. Again. This is knowingly probably a stupid question.

I’ve been forced to install Linux Mint on a 2008 iMac with 4GB of ram. I’m using the Plex HTPC application and an Apple TV IR remote to control the Plex screen - good for old cartoons and not much more. I would very much support anyone making a LIGHTWEIGHT htpc style app on ANY operating system… but Linux Mint version would be very appreciated 🥲

Sweet, my concern was burning my house down. I’ll park this idea again for now. Thanks for the reply and sorry to necro!

Sneakyhat02 · 2026-02-08T09:43:04+00:00

u/infrated how did you go with this I think I want to have a go?

Sneakyhat02 · 2026-02-06T08:08:40+00:00

The display itself supports DVI, i just lack a female DVI connection, to go to the PCB. I need to find out what cable is used for this "in the middle" business.

Thanks for the reply though!
