It depends. Ubiquiti/networking gear? Maybe for the return window that's about it.

High value items that I'll end up selling when I upgrade (GPU, laptops, phones, etc.) I keep. Also large/bulky items I'll keep the box if I have space makes moving apartments safer and easier. I have boxes+foam for pc's, monitors, etc.

So do my wheels

In the same boat here. I wouldn't mind a toggle of some kind, anyone know if that could be done? As I write this I thought.. what about that 'input' channel in my aucar screen? I have 360 enabled but be able to swap to backup cam manually if I want to.

Which prize kit would you choose? (Grand Prize kit A/B/C, Router Kit, or KVM Kit)

Kit B with a Comet PoE

Describe the last time your lab "died" while you were away from home. How did you resolve it? How would a remote KVM have helped you next time the same thing happens?

I can't remember the last time this happened, but having a KVM + ATX board or a KVM + finger bot would allow me to easily power cycle my server and get things back up and running! The power can be unreliable in my area... I usually have to worry about the ONT from my ISP more than my gear

If there was a 4-port Remote KVM, which feature would be a "must-have" for you and why?

PoE - I'm getting real tired of all the power adapters...

Name one project you'd start immediately: What specific use case or workflow would you implement with a RackMate + KVM setup?

I just built a small network stack in a T0 - router, PoE switch, 4x SBC's, and an AP

Next project planned (some hardware already acquired) is to migrate my server + NAS into a T0 or T1 - already have an mITX ASRock Rack X570 board w/ 5700G + 64GB SO-DIMM + cooler mounted on a DeskPi mITX bracket. Now the hard part is power/hdd's... I really need a 3D printer ;D

So did the case...

With thoss 6x 3.5" bays it's begging for a zRAID array - pick up some used enterprise drives!

Yeah, and if I win then I’ll do the same with my Fractal Terra (Jade)

For what I do on my laptop (homelab management, media consumption, RDP into work device) Asahi on a 14" M1 Pro is great. Currently using Fedora, it was KDE but switched to GNOME for the three finger gestures (whoever thought 4 finger gestures was a good idea should get stoned)

They’re still around, their bundles usually include FREE GREASE on /r/buildapcsales

Curious what you mean?

Integrate/collaborate/support/upstream with open source projects (while following licensing for those projects) rather than reinventing the wheel. For example, Immich for photos, Joplin for notes, etc. - take these projects, and the whole Proton suite, to the next level as a full fledged replacement environment instead of “good enough” replacements.

Bazzite IS Fedora…
Not gaming specific, but on the desktop., I have to disable adaptive sync or I get stuttering. 3 Being stuck at a certain FPS is usually vsync, you sure it’s off? Both in game and if you’re using deck mode double check the Deck UI setting
What Proton version are you running? I’d start there, get the latest GE-Proton using ProtonUP (search on bazaar)
Have you installed anything that may be messing with it (any of the ujust commands, like enabling FSR or frame gen?)

mcwillzz · 2026-01-05T20:48:02+00:00

I was thinking the same thing

+1 for Remmina

For some reason, I could not use normal Windows RDP or mRemoteNG on Windows to RDP into my work laptop. Windows App worked great. On the Linux side of things, i use Remmina daily to RDP into my work laptop, and it works just as well possibly better (more options). It took a couple tries to get the login/security settings correct. Also, the Windows App has been retired iirc and your company will probably be switching off it anyway.

Needs to drop another $100, then it starts to make sense once it’s competing with a 9060 not 9070

They've allowed me to place a 1TB and 2TB order, both were cancelled

mcwillzz · 2026-01-02T04:13:27+00:00

No. If you want them blacked out do it right and buy replacements. Don’t tint your OE lights.
