    Pixel 8 / Pixel 8 Pro / Pixel 8a

    I think the only reason is size. the 8 and 8 pro will be much larger than the 8a. should be the same size as the 7a. otherwise just grab the 8.

    Microsoft could join the handheld party — with the next generation of consoles

    my guess is with the market moving towards streaming style gaming, handheld makes sense for Microsoft as they behind Nintendo and Sony in hardware sales. Also with MS investing alot in AI will give them access to alot bare metal hardware that could be used for dedicated streaming sessions.

    Suggestions for a used server - looking at getting back to a home lab

    I would look at several nodes that are cheap SFF, run ProxMox, and Ceph for storage/local cluster (no NAS needed) and have fun.

    Replacement WiFi Router for my dad

    solid choices IMO. This combo or the new Unifi+AP Gateway with a lite switch would be good as well with Cloud remote access

    Replacement WiFi Router for my dad

    you could go the new ultra gateway plus a standard AP for similar cost. but the dream router should work great as well. bonus you would have remote access.

    [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread

    Make sure the backplane is screwed in correctly(if its miss aligned could cause the drive not to make good contact) Check power plugs on the backplane.

    Anyone went strictly to SSDs only yet ?

    You need to jump on the ZFS bandwagon. When that NAS dies no propriety BS. Any machine can import the pool :)

    New Pool with Segate EXOS 14 12TB refurb drives from ebay. went Raid 2z. I am impressed with the speed. via SMB using a single USB 3.0 drive I am to pull 230MB/s from my Windows VM with the drive passed directly to it coping the data to VM based FreeNas Core on the same host.

    Intermittent 40Gbit Link on Mikrotik CRS326-24S+2Q+

    Agree. I only use it for live Sports and that's it and news or specials. I download through usenet+Sonarr and plex all my wifes shows. Wayyy more reliable

    Proxmox with 2 GPUs, 1 on an x16 slot another on x4?

    Should be okay if both cards have decent Linux drivers. If I had an extra slot I would test for you. Currently passing a P400 to an LX container vs a full VM without issues for plex encoding.
