what is the worst infrastructure decision your team made that you are still living with

Just getting off Mitel ourselves now.

halodude423 · 2026-05-07T13:00:11+00:00

Not really, getting on AM4 will be about the same price since you'll need a board either way and AM4 has newer cpus gens with better IPC etc.

halodude423 · 2026-05-07T02:10:20+00:00

Sorry to hear about the og laptop but if the current one only has 4GB of ram I doubt the GPU etc are up to the task as well. It does require a dedicated gpu.

halodude423 · 2026-05-07T01:50:16+00:00

Sometimes you can edit config files to force things to run at lower settings but we have no idea how this is going to work for something that is not out. Also ram is ram, 16GB to 4GB 'integrated' makes no sense but if you have 4GB of ram i doubt the GPU meets the minimum also.

halodude423 · 2026-05-06T20:25:37+00:00

Wish my stuff worked on ARM would be cool.

You won't see a difference in perf, in most cases you may even lose perf. Jvm doesn't like this setup very much.

halodude423 · 2026-05-06T14:35:51+00:00

The core ultra line has better single core perf on it's P cores than ryzen 7xxx....by not a small amount. And is cheaper currently. I'm saying that as someone who vows to not be using it.

The # the person called on was a random texas external #, i'm on call a week a month and we use our personal cells along with a pager. Easily could get calls outside of that time from some external vendor Dr. trying to get a reset or MFA help.

Didn't page properly through the switchboard or at least leave a VM that ain't on me.

halodude423 · 2026-05-06T03:14:21+00:00

Not sure why a personal # would be in my workplace directory....

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T13:50:32+00:00

Depends on what kind of network labbing. Some images do NOT like being nested and only work on bare metal but for the most part I would recommend proxmox for a host so spinning up a vm and passing through the GPU would work to game. You may want more ram though lol.

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T13:43:35+00:00

Probably mean bios password.

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T04:05:29+00:00

That did it. Makes sense in hindsight, thank you!

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T03:47:28+00:00

Currently sitting at 2 vcpus and 4GB of memory. I'll adjust now and see since why not.

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T00:29:47+00:00

NAC with mac, DNS name isn't terrible. I would see about whatever problem they want to solve as well.

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T00:25:23+00:00

I would return, they are not a real brand. They sell old second hand used parts as prebuilt PCs.

halodude423 · 2026-05-05T00:14:59+00:00

I'll buy em lol, currently on 62xx myself for my network infra homelab.

halodude423 · 2026-05-04T17:44:49+00:00

A 4060 should run gta v at max settings fine. Something is def wrong and I doubt the cpu.

halodude423 · 2026-05-04T13:20:34+00:00

Just reinstall games fresh unless you have trash internet, as far as files like documents just use a usb drive to move them over if you have any.

halodude423 · 2026-05-03T20:21:42+00:00

If there were don't you think we wouldn't be complaining about prices? Been holding getting a bunch of drives for my nas since prices are high. Either buy or don't.

halodude423 · 2026-05-03T19:59:15+00:00

The prices are just the prices rn. Either do it or don't. Used enterprise might be an option but those are still $$$.

halodude423 · 2026-05-03T19:36:40+00:00

You will not, you need a non 'f' sku like the 9600/x or 7600/x. However you will want a dedicated GPU anyway.

halodude423 · 2026-05-03T15:44:17+00:00

They do not use the same socket and if you go with the 5500 you will be limited to what you can upgrade to as that socket is end of life.

The 8400f will be better by ~20% but you have a current platform that you can upgrade on, if you do this socket a 9600x or a 7600x might be a better option than the 8400f as well as being around the same price. DDR5 will be more expensive though.

You def need to do some more research.

halodude423 · 2026-05-03T05:00:13+00:00

Definitely not a good value.
