Lto tape. But I only have 15tb

It quickly becomes cost effective when you actually need the data to be safe. Far easier to have off site backups. I have never had a problem , but I like to have offline backup. Most of the time my data is static. So I am only backing up projects files ans changes for the most part.

If you have 40+ tb of dynamic data I can’t help there.

That is what I was getting out without trying to use the loaded words.

This is a remote control situation. The bird would do bird things once out of a control signal. They aren't claiming full override and programming. I could easily see strapping a camera to a pigeon and training it. Maybe even remotely monitoring it and using a pre-trained electrical pulse to change direction.

These claims are beyond that. This is possibly the equivalent of scientist cures cancer where a reported misunderstands what is actually being presented.

This an an absolutely exceptional claim that would put the company decades beyond any tech I have seen. They are claiming remote control of a complicated animal in flight. They also claim it is without training and over distances impossible for a bird as small as a pigeon to carry radio gear.

This is not believable without any evidence.

A home server with an SSD can reasonably saturate 1000MB/s. An actual home use case can be made for 10Gig.

Your history sounds exactly like the spiral of component replacement that is being discussed. it sounds like your replaced everything multiple times, but just kept the case.

His 'fainting' was likely cardiac arrest. It sounds a lot like heart attack symptoms.

I have heard of this happening to people in the US who work in finance. It's never 'overwork' here. It's just a heart attack from poor life style choices.

This post is about new builds, upgrades and using old parts with new ones.

Unless you’re going above your current PSU’s rating that thing’s good until it’s dead.

Power supplies will work well past the point of providing clean in spec power on each rail. Lots of parts in a power supply can stop working properly before it physically no longer passes power.

Unless the PSU is relatively new it's not a great idea to put it into a new build with testing that it is still in spec on each voltage rail under a load.

From a pure aesthetics standpoint hubs and cables suck. From a functional standpoint they are equivalent except for the GPU.

 

I haven’t thought about it in a while but the premise of the article rings true. Desktops are overall disposable. Gpu generations are only really significant with new cpu generations. CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

Is there a platform that challenges that trend?

Edit Good points were made. There is a lot to disagree with in the article, especially when focused on gaming.

Storage For the love of your data : storage is a WEAR component. Especially with HDD. Up until recently storage was so cheap it was crazy not to get new drives every few years.

Power Supplies Just because the computer still boots doesn't mean the power supply is still good. A PSU will continue to shove power into your system long past the ability to provide clean power. Scope and test an older PSU before you put it on a new build.

 

I wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this. A series of events happened and I recently changed up my home network.

One of the larger changes I made was to add a Unifi Cloud gateway gateway ultra.

Right away my biggest challenge is that it does not accurately list all of the client devices that it has given a DHCP lease to.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

I have some IP based security cameras that I have only been able to locate before by looking at my ISP's dhcp lease list and find the IP.

So right now I have cameras on my network and I have to brute force lookup the IP of them to figure out where they are.

A more minor annoyance is that the network topology map is wrong and that ubiquity switches are not being mapped.
