I actually traded a guy on Reddit for my 8500 plus cash on his end
I've been running it with my GTX 1070 for a little bit now and man, that machine sips power for the performance it puts out

What are some things I can download on iptorrents to start boosting my ratio? I haven't downloaded anything yet since I haven't needed to, but I want to start bumping my ratio up just to get a head start

These fckking G5s? + that cube hub is a nightmare.

Disney collection is #1. It's HUGE though. Make sure you have unlimited bandwidth from ISP before tackling that.
Next click browse -> go below the search box with the larger list -> click the red arrow to sort on downloaded -> get a few of the highest downloaded
After that get popular (most downloaded) free leaches that you would like to have in your library. They will be larger than normal so be aware.

For kids?

I have kids, yes. However, it is known to get the top torrents that are downloaded to get the ratio up. You don't even have to be interested in them.

I think you got me misunderstood lol
I love superhero things. I just like to frick with people. I do dislike Assassins Creed though.
Basically if someone is super strong-minded on something, I try to frick with them.
That's why the Epic store thing makes me laugh.

I don't. I hate it all but love a super hero MMO. Weird but it's not made up of DC/Marvel characters.
Also hated the AC games until Origins. Origins is amazing to explore. So you now look dumb making fun of ppl who like the new AC games.
The Epic store thing. I rather not even touch that mess again.

Im looking to get this ASRock board for my new server. LINK
Will using a m.2 SSD take away one of my sata ports? I need 5 drives (m.2 SSD and 4 spinners). I know on some of the older boards with m.2, the m.2 spot used one of the sata connections

I'm sure it will. Usually does.
Pull up the manual.

I did but didn't really notice anything from it. I can get the H370 board that has 6 sata ports, but it's used for $90 on amazon
Posted on 8/22/19 at 10:11 pm to bluebarracuda
That is a good price non the less.

I'm so addicted to Star Trek atm.
Can't go to sleep without putting a Star Trek novel on. The lore is so damn good.
I want to be Q this Halloween even.

Anybody have a Nvidia Shield? How is the steam link and game streaming?
Posted on 8/23/19 at 8:27 am to Hu_Flung_Pu
I have/had 3.
2 tablets and the first handheld.
Are you talking about the box top unit? (Console/unit)
They are about the same. Nvidia stream seems "cleaner". Also uses less over head if you have an nVidia gpu.
Honestly can't see the difference on a TV when 10ft away.

yeah the box top unit.
How does the stream work for gaming? Does it route the "power" from my computer and uploads it to the cloud and pushes it to another device? Does it work outside of my network?
I have gigabit internet so that is not a problem.

I only have a steam link, but I assume it works the exact same.
It basically uses your computer to power the game through the streaming device. Biggest PITA with those devices is that you're limited to the hosts resolution. So if you're PC is on a 1080p display, the streaming device will only output 1080p, no matter if it's on a 4k TV.
One of the reasons why I built an HTPC for my living room PC (have a 4k TV) and use the steam link in my bedroom on my 1080p display
