I'm still undecided what to do with my old system. It's a whole system that's still pretty decent - 5600X, 3080, 32GB DDR4. For now I've…

As a counter-point to the OP, I am happy I went with AMD this generation. I had a RTX3080 previously, so a 9070XT was an *actual* upgrade…

I know it's not the question specifically, but highly recommend frequent cloud backups too. I selectively back my important stuff up off my…

Looks like a worthy successor!

Funnily enough, I also have a Quest 3/have tried remote desktop. The pixel density still isn't there (Pixels Per Degree in the case of VR).…

Heh, that's actually exactly my use case with 21:9. About 65% office work, 35% gaming. Going to a 40" 4k is too large for the viewing…

All great options, I just wish that there were more modern 34" UWQHD alternatives. 49" is way too big/pricey for most people and the rest…

If you're driving < 150km a day, it's really not necessary. Trickle charge is more than enough for most people if you leave it on overnight.

I've been using [this cheap granny charger](https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0CH9LVZ9J?ie=UTF8&th=1) as my only charger on my 77kWh…

If you or anyone else gets sick of needing to plug the phone in for Android Auto/Car Play, I can highly recommend the [AAWireless…

I got one of these on a Novated Lease almost a year ago. It's been a great car and I've had no real issues with it aside from some software…

You're mistaking what they are saying. They're saying that they want to remotely monitor their car when it's NOT charging. The Jolt app is…

Lots of comments here saying you'd be fine on granny charging, which you mostly would - but you also mention that your daily driving range…

Almost all smart locks are non-destructive. Provided you can remove the existing deadbolt, you can pretty easily install a smart lock and…

Same. Working from home with very large data sets the upload is the crippler - not the download. Stuck on HFC however, and NBNco have…

Then you need something fairly powerful as the host that has Intel Quicksync for hardware transcoding. And you also need to consider your…

Then your title is misleading, because you don't want a "Future-Proof Plex/Jellyfin Server", you want a "Good-enough Plex/Jellyfin server…

Shield IS the client.

Shield doesn't need to transcode, it can DirectPlay.

Without the drives obviously. But they will just take any old drive if you don't care about retention and put them in JBOD raid mode.

What the hell NAS' have you been looking at? I got my DS423+ for about $750 that serves my entire Plex library. Yes, the drives cost money,…

> ... too hefty an investment > Future-Proof Plex/Jellyfin Server Talk about an oxymoron. A future proof server *is* an investment.

Yeah, SSD is the solution here.

> The reward for good work, is more work. So here's the funny thing that many people don't get about this statement. While it's true, there…

Yup, this is *precisely* what happens when upper management promote people based on tenure rather than merit. The double whammy of this is…

So many naysayers in the comments, but I totally get where you're coming from. Firstly, it sounds like your boss was promoted due to tenure…

This simply doesn't work for many people. Yes, there are "worker bees" that are happy to manually do a task repeatedly - but there are also…

As someone who has had at least 5 different 3D printers (both FDM and resin), the only brand I can recommend in good faith to people new to…

I managed to get the stacking hacked deal for the Alienware AW3423DW for $1400 at launch ($2299 RRP). The newer version of that…
