Here's the problem i have: my father is getting to the level of prosumer photography, and we have a 4k home camera. This means storage is becoming an issue for him. When we bought his computer a few years ago, the video wasn't at issue. Now he's running low on storage, but wants to speedily...

Gigabit switches have been around for almost a decade now, and relatively cheap. Where are the cheap (sub $50) consumer switches? Am I just failing at searching?
Everything I'm finding is over $100.
Currently have a gen 1 Google mesh wifi, and really do love it. It provides good coverage for my 3600 sq foot house (2 floors).

When Fury was released, HBM was supposed to be the next gen of VRAM. There were even rumors Nvidia was looking at it.
What happened to it? Everything seems to be GDDR6/6x.
Need some help finding a monitor for my father.
He wants a larger screen for photo editing. 32" or larger, with reasonably good color reproduction. He's a pretty good photographer with decent hardware (Sony A77 II). However, he doesn't want to spend more than around $500-$600.

My 660ti in my HTPC is acting wonky and is on it's way out via obselescence anyway.
Being a lame 1080p gamer, I WAS looKing at the RTX2060 (to replace a GTX 970 in my main rig, to be sent to the HTPC), but the [H] review and craptastic RTing performance gave me some pause.
Then these leaks...

I have an Intel 7600k on an Asus Strix Z270i GAMING and THIS ram.
The last time I overclocked was my old 2500k, which was pretty much set it and forget it, and a solid OC was attainable with essentially no effort. I have not kept up with the meaning of all the settings in the Z270 chipset bios...
I thought it was just my old phone, but after upgrading, the issues persist. And hard to describe.

I have a new house. TV mounted over the fireplace (wife mandated). I have a mount that pulls the TV out and down over the fireplace so it's not so high. BUT, what do I do about my center channel? I have a Polk CS10.

Just closed on the new house today, and I got to really explore. The good news is that the house is pre-wired for ethernet (huzzah!). The ethernet (and coax) all come into this neat little patch panel in the laundry room:

I'm stumped.
I just picked up a SteelSeries Stratus XL gamepad in Windows 10, but having a devil of a time. In theory, you are supposed to:

I'm on my second Nighthawk x6, and may need a third unless someone can convince me it's not the hardware:
Wired connections work, and the wireless connections show as working, but they barely get any throughput any more. Some devices show a wireless connection, but no internet.

It looks like I am no longer going to be able to do a home-brew local networked backup solution on a PC-PC basis after the death of CrashPlan. Simple NAS systems like a simple networked drive is not going to work because of the volume of data I'm moving and a desire for a little more power.

What I need:

- don't care about visuals and...

So, you have a single scene to show in two slightly different ways in the headset to give a stereoscopic effect.
Does the scene have to be rendered twice? Or, is it rendered once, and the game inserts two "cameras," one for each image?
Do different setting have to be applied more than once...
