    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    I am trying to give him time to fit in the role. Hell, some of the co-reporters on the show were wooden and stale when they started, but later became stars. Not saying Trevor will ever reach close to Stewart levels, but should still get better with experience.

    Well, just a couple weeks back TL and the next two guilds went into a Trak / VP rotation agreement. Poopsocking was getting old for everyone involved, but I imagine TL were tired of their two main competitors being on Euro time and the obscene batphone hours involved in locking down content. I...

    Very first thing we tried to trip up the bot was dropping summoned water all over the place, but it was insta picked up and (presumably) destroyed. I'm just making the point that it takes 1 individual to grief many. Phinny seems like it will have FAR FAR more raid guilds than previous TLP...

    Until another random bot shows up in the instance to do the exact same thing. 3 hours respawn on the ground spawns. (Yes we spawned instances and had this happen too)

    There's enough griefing to be done to block other guilds for sure. On RF, we recently saw afk FD monk bots on top of ground spawn VP medallion pieces in Kaesora and Swamp of No Hope auto picking up and destroying anything dropped on the ground. We really only had 3 guilds working on VP. Now...

    It can work. The biggest factor is not to turn it on until you are certain it is dried out. Water doesnt hurt it, running electricity through it with water is what shorts and kills it. It's actually best if you can remove the battery altogether while it dies out. Bag of rice + sun. I did this...

    I have two Dell U2715H monitors (27" IPS) and I love them. I game but Lightroom / Photoshop take priority, so quality > lag for me. Amazon.com: Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor: Computers Accessories

    Yep, you can just plug a switch in for more ports. Hell, I have a switch hanging off of another switch on my network. I think I am up to about a dozen hardwired LAN connections in my house.

    Worse. It is to a US Military address, which is USPS. APO mail is charged as domestic rates, usually to New York. The rest of the journey is free via military air. So, basically Newegg are trying to charge $77 for USPS Mail to NY. I have long fallen out with Newegg over their shipping fees...

    Yea, some of the bot abuse has convinced me that DB customer service is entirely non-existant. We have had a translocator bot on RF in commons tunnel for a couple months now. (Pay varying plat fees for xloc / ports). Then you have the more exploitive bots like we have seen the last couple days...

    Plus, the MQ2 build for TLP is exactly the live compile. Would be interesting to see how it would need to be altered for one specific server.

    With current tune, mage pets are essentially useless on boss fights. Our last Trakanon parse had mage pets (each) doing tenths of a percent worth of overall damage. Monks top the parse around 2.5% comparatively. We have been doing all of Kunark targets with only one or two mages who actually...

    I have used Denon for the last 10 years with 3 different AVRs. My current Denon AVR powers 5 figures worth of HT speakers and I really could not say I needed discrete amps to make them sound any better. You need fairly unreasonable listening volumes to really push the higher end Denon AVRs to...

    Torrents

    Before I had BTN, I chose TVT over IPT specifically because you had a favorites section. You put all of the shows you are interested in as a Favorite and you just get a feed of the latest episodes. You would also only get one SD, one HD, etc version of each episode. Altogether, you don't have to...

    Yep, individual episodes do not usually seed for shit. My big earners are entire season packs of popular shows like Breaking Bad, Top Gear UK, Game of Thrones, etc. These have been seeding for years on my account.

    No kidding. I mean, I get seed boxes if your ISP is data capping the shit out of you. But I just seed like normal from home and have something crazy like 7TB of upload and 11k bonus points. I pretty much exclusively download 1080p free leach movies in the 10-20gb per file range.

    Have you actually watched film content in >24 fps? It looks weird as shit. Often described as the "Soap Opera Effect". It is jarring and looks .. odd. Documentaries / Sports on the other hand, looks great with high frame rates.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Btw, this is normal for each and every ISP. They sell you by Mb, downloads are measured in MB. My 100Mb fiber line will max my uTorrent downloads at around 13MB downloads. (I actually connect at around 107Mb due to some nice overhead)
  34. Jysin

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Probably because your ISP is selling you 18Mb/s, while your downloads are measured in MB/s. Math is 8 bits (little b) per byte (big B). 18Mb/8 = 2.25MB You probably have a little overhead bandwidth giving you that 2.7MB real time.

    Where is "here"? The huge selling point of that M.2 850 Pro he linked is the 2500MB/s operating speed vs the SATA3 capped speed of every other SSD around 550MB/s. That is a massive difference, on paper. Real world? Not sure to be honest. But the simple fact is, SATA3 has long been...
