Well, there are several solutions. If I had to choose right now, I would probably go with a Sofabaton U2+backlight remote (supports IR and bluetooth). Hits most of your requests, including using 2xAA batteries (but if you use a Roku Streaming Stick, you might need something else as it is RF/WiFi...
If you are looking for long-term reliable drives for storage of data such as video streaming, HDD will almost always be the way to go since the bit rates are low (unless you are recording from many different streams at once), and the data itself is typically accessed linearly (i.e. this isn't a...
If you are accustomed to the plasma, the only thing that gives picture like that will be OLED. Best bang for the buck would probably be the Samsung S90D 55" or 65" models (don't get the 48" or smaller as they used a different panel). The 55" will run around $1100, but you can sometimes find it...
Absolutely do NOT use an old adapter. If your 5080 card came with a triple 8pin to 12v-2x6 you need to use that adapter at a minimum. If your power supply is modular and you can pickup effectively a 12vhpwr cable that connects to the modular sockets on the power supply, ensure it is a NEW...
Very few cases have 5.25" bays let alone front accessible/hot swap bays for hard drives. I ended up with a Fractal Define 7 XL. It at least still has 2x 5.25 bays that you can use one for a blu-ray drive and the other for a card reader. You may be limited on the hard drives with a large GPU...
CAT5e is rated to 10Gbps at 45 feet (or so). And that is assuming the cable just meets CAT5e spec. Many cables will provide higher performance, but have only been tested a certain level and are simply certified at that level.
Just for clarification, you ran into the classic Passive PoE vs Active PoE (802.3af/at/bt). Passive PoE is usually only 24V (there are a few 48V examples) and the ports are not autosensing and have to manually turn on or off the PoE function. Active PoE (802.3af/at/bt) is autosensing and use a...
Exactly! And to add some common sense on this, your home's electricity and circuits all have ratings as well. For example the standard 15amp circuits in USA homes will typically use either 15AWG or 14AWG wire. While that 15AWG is rated for 15amps at 120V, it will easily carry 25+ amps before it...
I was thinking this over and there is another solution, get a PLX switch chip/board. Way back when there were limited PCIe lanes , some high end motherboards would include a PLX chip to multiplex the PCIe lanes and effectively get additional lanes. There were also some converters to go from a...
Sorry, missed this topic. The answer is it depends on your distribution. Most will have a firewall of some type. For the longest time, most used "iptables", but "firewalld" seems to have replaced that in many, especially the ones that were mirroring what Red Hat was doing. These are mainly just...
Personally I would save you money and just get a cheap 802.11ac (Wifi 5). Wifi 6 didn't really add much other than easier built-in mesh networking (which you could still do under wifi 5, with proper firmware support, especially the open source firmwares like DD-WRT, and OpenWRT, but I never...
Noctua makes some heatsinks for LGA 2011. The issue you will run into is the case and airflow orientation. That X10 board is really designed for front to rear cooling in a fairly thin 2U or 3U rackmount system using passive heatsinks and relying on a plastic fan shroud/guide from a wall of 40mm...
The only other way to run the setup you want is to get more PCIe lanes by jumping to workstation class systems, using Threadripper or more preferably EPYC CPUs (as the latest threadripper is over a year old). These will provide 128 PCIe lanes, which will be enough to run multiple cards at 16x.
