Question Am I going to regret this?

Hey guys, Everything went well. Pretty impressed with the build quality of the NUC and the simplicity of the assembly. Mounting it to the back of the monitor was a breeze and super nice to get the wiring hidden. Somewhat inconvenient is the placement of the ports on the back of the box when...

Question Am I going to regret this?

All I saw was your quote about living in Minnesnota. That had me scratching my head for a moment. I'm with you on this, I probably screwed up.

Question Am I going to regret this?

So the SO has been bugging me for a new pc. They are an educator, so use a lot of web based applications (usually all open simultaneously), the usual productivity stuff, video and photo editing. The other night after listening to several minutes of passive aggressive complaining about their...

Question Network infrastructure in new house

Wait, what? moca? That sounds a lot easier that trying to run more wire. I looked it up on Newegg. As I understand it, if my router is MOCA compliant, I can run an ethernet connection between it and the adapter. Then from the adapter to the coax splitter and connect the coax cables from the...

Question Network infrastructure in new house

Good morning everyone who has responded to this question and thank you again, your effort is appreciated. I now know way more than I really wanted to. Spectrum came out and got the internet plugged in so I was able to test. All of the outlets are ethernet, and home runs. So I plugged the modem...

Question Network infrastructure in new house

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to think about this and respond. Yes, the cables are all home runs! We don't cable TV so the cable in is purely for internets. I don't have the necessary technical know how to visually look at the connectors and discern the difference, however I...

Question Network infrastructure in new house

Hello everyone, I recently bought a spec house that the builder was off loading. I mention that because I had no input into the construction or equipment. While I was poking around in the laundry room I found this behind a panel. There is a part of me that hopes that you guys can confirm in...

Battlefield V

If the server mod was being abusive the players just voted with their feet and left. Now you don't have clan servers anymore which again makes community building harder. We used to do clan events on the server and close it to just clan members, or invite other clans onto the server for clan v...

Battlefield V

Hey guys, long term lurker on the AT forums. Throwing in my two cents on BF5 (I've been enjoying the series since 1942). I've pretty much stopped playing as the cheating has gotten overwhelming. I hear the comments that every game has cheaters and that is very true. I've watched guys snapping...

Witcher 3

It seems like this is a kind of game that you have to come to at the right time, right frame of mind. I just talked to an old friend of mine, we've been gaming together since the mid 80's, and he finished and loved W1 and W2! I found that shocking since he loves action, hates reading dialogue...

Witcher 3

Damn that's sad. Generally I much prefer story driven games, which anecdotally is this series strength, so I really wanted to like them. Thanks for the reply. Too bad Steam won't let you even gift games you don't want anymore.

Hey guys, thanks for responding. It looks like downloading uplay directly from Ubisofts website worked. They bury the download at the bottom of the store page. I haven't had a chance to 100% confirm this, because I have only tested it on W7 machines so far, but I will let you know what happens...

The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

Wow, I don't remember making this post. Maybe I was drunk. Quite ranty, I apologise. That said I still can't get into the BF4 maps with all of the vertical structure. The upgrade progression is meaningless because you don't have clear goals to work for. The guns all feel the same to me too. And...

The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

BF4 sucks. Bf3 sucked a little less. BF2 was fun. Maps in BF4 are shit compared to BF2-3. CoD optimized and full of one shot wonders. EA sucked the life out of another great franchise.

Okay guys, thanks for your "advise". Its a configuration problem on the apple or in the network? I wouldn't know how to configure the apple and the QoS doesn't seem to change anything.

Brighthouse says this - I say that (modem/router)

In case anyone is still interested, after trying 3 different routers and a network switch Brighthouse finally agreed to replace the modem. I've decided to buy my own modem. Now I have to wait for the original router that I RMA'd on Brighthouse's tech support recommendation to come back.
