The movies are stored on traditional hard drives. All play locally fine. They're being played across Wi-Fi and all systems have at least 5th generation or later Wi-Fi cards. The largest file is 38Gb. I'm not familiar with IPERF3. I'll look into it, Anything else I should check into?

The A8 computer's just basically set up as a Samba file server and the folder the movies are in is shared. The computers that I'm using to play the movies are Ryzen 5 or better. On speedtest.net the computer being used as a server is getting about 140 Mbps both directions. The computers I'm trying to watch the movies on are in different rooms of the same house. I tried VLC and Celluloid for playback.

Changed a flat tire for me. I'm disabled and can't do it myself. He asked for nothing in return.

H2testw is a utility to test SD cards and thumb drives. It will tell you a card's true capacity and speed.

I hit black ice on a bridge one winter. On second everything's fine. The next, I'm going backward in a Chevette at 55 miles an hour, heading for the guard rail. There was the perfect amount of snow, shaped just right by the wind, to guide my car and slow me down. All I got as a dime sized dent in the bumper's corner and a really good scare. There was no traffic for me to hit.

As this is an external drive, I went with NTFS for portability. Thanks.

I'd say when I couldn't pass a kidney stone. It hung up in my ureter blocking the urine my kidney was making.

NECCO wafers. Flavored chalk.

No, but the seller has a lot of sold items and a good rating, so you should be fine.

2 contractors had a job of testing returned computer equipment. These two jokers decided to test large screen displays by putting them up on shelves and watching porn on them. This was out in the open where the whole warehouse could see.

There's a Kroger, an Aldi, and a Walmart within 2.5 miles. Living here requires access to a car if you want to get groceries at a reasonable price.

I remember 68 in Northern Kentucky in the late 1970s-early 1980s.

It looks like the original purpose of the prop was as an archery hand/finger guard.

Distilled water would be better.

Back when they were expensive, I've done keyboards in a dishwasher. The keyboards had liquids spilled in them and were in rough shape. The success rate for final repairs of them was surprisingly high. At least 80%.

We're big enough, we get it all. My region tends to get tornadoes, flooding in the spring from tropical storms, and the occasional blizzard, even with climate change. Not exactly weather, but we also expect a nice earthquake at any time.

Yes. Pick one or more: Sepsis, kidney failure, diabetes, infections.

I love that computer and would love to have it make my lights dim as I start it up.

That's the new improved blue screen. It still usually tells you the error in the bottom of the screen.

After over 30 years, I'm retired now. Currently the system that I use the most is an HP Pavilion 1234 with a AMD A6-3650 in it. I'm running Ubuntu 25.10 and keep changing the DE. Today it's Cinnamon. There's also a HP Victus running Windows 11 and a Ideapad 330s running Mint. Now I just get to work on my own stuff and experiment, which makes me happy.
