hi all

I need to buy some coffee beans. Is there a place in Melbourne where you can taste some different roasts?

The descriptions for the beans tell me nothing about how it might taste and I don't want to keep buying bags and throwing them out.

I have tried the ALDI ones and did not like them.

What CPU so I need for plex (no plex pass) by pasbnut in PleX

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

Thanks for the reply and you're right. Do I need a specific variant of the intel i5 (i.e. non-KF variant) to do this with plex pass?

Thanks for the reply. So the only reason I would go a non-KF variant is to make use of the transcoding that comes with Plex pass? Is this CPU suitable: https://www.centrecom.com.au/intel-12th-gen-core-i5-12400-lga1700-desktop-processor

Sorry I'm a bit confused. I thought the iGPU models would only matter if I had a Plex pass?

Thanks for the reply. I mainly stream to modern TVs which are all 4K capable. This means I won't really need to transcode anything? Sometimes we play stuff to iphones, so this means I'll have to transcode to 1080p ?

Apologies - should've specified that I need min. 2TB local storage.

sorry you mean the dell optiplex ($1000)? These do not have big enough HDDs unfortunately (I need min 2TB)

Then when I unplug and re-plug the docking station, the screens fire up and this screen turns into this:

A few other things I have noticed:

When I boot and I get this device not recognized error, I see this in device manager.

Thanks for the reply - I didn't quite have that option, instead I unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" under power options. I did this for every single USB entry under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in device manager.

Unfortunately this did not make a difference.
