False. Windows does NOT default all monitors to the slowest monitor's refresh rate. I have a 144 Hz for my center/gaming monitor and three monitors at 60 Hz.

If anyone is looking for 16 port switch, the NETGEAR ProSAFE GS116NA 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch $34.99 after $40 MIR @ Amazon is on sale right now for $35. I've got one, thing is a champ.

Yeah, 1060 is probably your best bet. As fast as / faster than the RX 480.

Fair point. I think I'm going to keep using them for now. The 5ghz band is mainly what I use and I get full bars across my entire yard now. My phone roams really well on them too (though I think that has more to do with the phone tweak I did to make the roaming better than the actual AP's...

Let me guess, you have an Intel 750 PCIe card? If so, yup. It'll take a long time to load. Get used to it.

Setting up my Shield now. I haven't bought a toy in a while... Giddy for it. Edit: OOoookkkaayyy... Now I'm kicking myself for not getting one of these months ago. I'm very happy I got it.

Did that before I'd even posted, still f'd up. Nvidia will update their drivers and all will be right in the world.

LOL I'm not that dense. It has fucked with the display drivers.

Yup. Seems to have fucked up G-Sync for me too. Awesome... playing games like its 2012 now. Wtf.

I feel you. I've yet to find anything that can rival the speed of my RT-AC87U's wireless. I'm still using my UAP-AC-PROs but may just get another RT-AC87U and use it as another AP. Haven't decided yet.

From everything I've read, the router base-station and the whole system in general is about as simple and uncomplicated as anything that's been released. So unnecessarily complicated probably isn't the right wording. There's a couple reviews out. Hands-on: Ubiquiti’s Amplifi covers the whole...

Awesome. Thanks for the suggestions.

O.o yours rapes mine on everything but harddrive space. I'm just running an i5-somethingsomethingSkylake with about 40 TB and 16 GB RAM. I want to utilize it better. Right now I virtually only use it for Plex.

AC-LITE wouldn't solve the issue really. I can't imagine it having faster speeds than the AC-PRO version. It's not a big issue. I'll find a use for them somehow. Just annoying that an "enterprise" or "prosumer" grade AP wouldn't be able to keep up with the ASUS RT-AC87U, which frankly is a...

a_skeleton_03 I'm interested in expanding my home server. Can you give the details of yours? Specs? Recommendations?

Sorta wish I would have gotten that. The UAP-AC-PROs are not what I was hoping they'd be. Entirely my fault for getting before doing enough research on them in the first place.

Hmmm, this might be a good place to ask. What is a good, secure way for me to remotely control my HTPC (I'd only control it from computers at my house)? I used to use TeamViewer with LAN Connection only but I got pretty f'n spooked after TeamViewer got raped earlier in the year.

Anyone using an Nvidia Shield for Plex/Netflix/etc? I'm thinking about picking one up, more specifically for Plex but I have a few other uses for it as well. Surprisingly, I've been able to get by just using my Samsung TV's built in app for Plex but it shits out on any "4k" content. Someone...

For Windows users I think it is an absolute crime to not include "Everything" in the General Utilities list.

I bought two of the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO to add some wifi coverage to the house. Pretty fucking amazing how easy it was to set-up but in my testing, the 2.4ghz throughput is horseshit. I know this equipment isn't meant for throughput and is more enterprise blah blah blah but honest to god... how...

^ Merlin firmware is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.

I hear you. It can be a pretty daunting/scary task but with the 6P it is pretty f'n easy. Hard to brick the thing. XDA has a very good write-up on how to root a stock install, seehere.

If you root the phone, I'd highly recommend gettingFiSwitch. It allows you to force switch between the carriers easily. Comes in handy sometimes.

I have some Aukey USB C cables and they have worked flawlessly. Would recommend.

Whatever the Nexus 6P has.

I've not had any of those issues myself on Project Fi. Edit: I didn't have a chance to read the post real thoroughly but what radio is on your phone? What release of Android?

So I gave my coworker my old ASUS RT-N66U to use while I figure out how to use this Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD. I have it working OK right now, but the max speed I can seem to get out of the wireless averages about 40-50 Mbps when speed testing. Wired connection is fine, just as fast as my ASUS...

Not with that attitude you can't! (in all seriousness, yes you'll be able to get a copy of 10 on Reddit's MS Swap... or just use your current key if you already upgraded, pretty sure it'll work on a new mobo but I haven't tried it).

I see new laptop deals *almost* daily on SlickDeals. I'd just keep an eye out there unless you need it ASAP:Computers Deals, Coupons Promo Codes | Slickdeals

Here I was ready to disagree some with Noodleface until I saw this:Overwatch Benchmarked: Graphics CPU Performance Tested > Benchmarks: CPU Performance - TechSpot I know the FPS is still PLENTY high, but scroll down to the overclock chart near the bottom. That was pretty eye opening for...

If you get a retail license, it is kind of stupid how they have the install setup. You can't use the VL to install, which is the installer which allows you to select what you want to install. The retail license version installer will just install everything. The configuration file is needed to...

Hey sorry I forgot to do this last night, ended up working late. I'll get you a link tonight and some instructions - keep an eye out for a PM from me. I don't understand why Office 2016 is such a bitch to install. Took me a few days to get it done properly and thank god I saved everything.

joeboo, I can send you my install config for Office 2016 Pro Plus. Basically you get the ISO for the setup installer directly from Microsofts website, mount it, then modify the configuration file with the correct drive letter (ie: H, F, E whatever). Then run a command prompt from the folder the...

Haven't gone over to their place to take a look yet but the coworker's RB951G-2HnD I just setup the other day isn't working after their power reset. Modem is working fine, but when they connect to the wireless it just says "Connected, No Internet". I'm going over there later but any idea why...

I'm not as advanced at networking as some of the others here are so my only input would be that I am hardcore nerd jealous that you get to set all of that up. Nerding super hard. Well I ended up having my coworker get theRB951G-2HnD. I literally did zero research into the router prior to having...

Nvidia Says GeForce GTX 1060 Will Outperform GTX 980, Founders Edition Will Cost $299

I have had theSteelSeries Siberia 800'ssince January and they are the first wireless headphones that I've really liked. I have the Senn 175's too but didn't think they sounded that great so I set out to find something better. First tried the Astro A50's and they were junk - weird buzzing issue...

If you have enough space on the F drive I'd move all of your pictures/personal info from the E drive to F drive. Then do a fresh install, formatting the C and E drive in the process. I am about 99.9% sure you're going to want to format the E drive in the process as the programs won't just work...

A democrat's solution would be to just buy more to get to your standard deduction, amirite?!?!

joeboo are you still pretty happy with this thing? I may recommend it to a coworker after reading up on it more. Almost tempted to get one myself too just for shits and giggles.
