That's a strange place on screen to be seeing something like this. I'm going to ask the obvious question of did you have static content in that exact spot on the display for long periods? As others have pointed out is it visible in the bios or if you boot a linux live cd?

Ahh very good points, and one of the reasons I continue to read these in depth reviews for a product I already have in the hopes I learn something useful. I can confirm the whites do look green (using the creator mode set to sRGB) next to my 2 other displays calibrated with an i1display pro and...

Wow an incredible amount of work went into that review, thank you for linking it.

While I haven't read this entire thread yet I went pretty far back and haven't seen any specific details on using MacType to mitigate the color fringing on text. I stumbled upon this wonderful post on reddit from UnadvisedApollo that outlines the process with results and it looks pretty...

Mine also shipped and fedex has it, won't be delivered until Wednesday the 4th. Cross country ground shipping is painful!

Just placed my order, guess we'll see what happens!

When I originally purchased my Asus PG278Q's on release in 2014 I only expected them to last a year, maybe 2 until something vastly superior replaced them. I was very disappointed to step down to a 27" 1440p monitor from the 30" 1600p monitor I had been using for many years prior, but gsync and...

Nobody knows, I check daily and it's always wild baseless speculation. I really wish manufacturers would stop pre announcing monitors at all. They are so poor at releasing them it would be best to just wait until they are ready to ship before making an announcement. Its insanity to watch certain...

I assume nobody has managed to get their hands on one of these yet? I put my pre-order in within 5 minutes of it going live on B&H on Sept. 10th but watching their website the release date just seems to get pushed back every week...

I wonder if this is for new orders at this point or for those who pre-ordered the day that went live initially as well?

tldr: What is going on with these benchmarks, and do I really need a P3700 to get decent performance for VM's hosted on SSD ZFS pools? Ceph: how to test if your SSD is suitable as a journal device? | Sébastien Han So I have a proxmox host that currently has the following configuration: 2x240GB...

I believe you, it seems to be par for the course for the entire industry at this point...unless you want to spend exorbitant amounts of money :(

It's pretty amazing how difficult it is to get a fast and reliable access point for non-insane prices nowadays, wtf is wrong with all these companies...

I'd look into the xclaim wireless ap's (division of ruckus) as well as the open mesh gear. Ubiquiti hasn't made a good AP in a while unfortunately...

I think I found your christmas present :) http://makeit.netflix.com/netflix-socks

As others said, anything that runs openwrt will do it. If you want something a little fancier check out pfsense with pfBlockerNG Another very affordable option is the ubiquiti edgerouter lite, although I don't know if this can be done in it's gui (if that matters to you).

It always blows my mind that people recommend ubiquiti wifi products, those that do usually only have experience with older N models, which were apparently amazing. Everything AC that ubiquiti has touched just turns to shit, it's really quite remarkable just how bad they are at AC access...

Wow, thanks for posting that. Truly pathetic results though :eek: I don't understand why ubiquiti can't put out hardware that isn't crippled in some way. My 3 original ubiquiti uap-ac's are rotting in a closet now for similar terrible performance reasons.

Those netgate boxes I linked aren't your grandpas atoms. With aes-ni/gcm supported in pfsense you can push quite a bit of traffic! With netmap-fwd inbound this hardware is about to get substantially faster at routing tasks as well. The C2758 can forward 1.683Mpps with netmap-fwd on pfsense...

I'd look into ubiquiti, mikrotik or pfsense on the hardware of your choice (they have good options on the pfsense site or netgate.com) All of these can easily handle your requirements.

I would also caution against the edgrouter lite in this situation. If you browse the ubiquiti forums there are many counts of filesystem corruption on this unit when it isn't cleanly shutdown. I'm in the same boat as OP, I have a remote location 8 hours drive away and have always relied on...

SirMaster, Wow! Really excellent reply! It really helps me wrap my head around how this is actually working, which I couldn't manage to do by myself. Thank you. Does this mean switching to a more efficient drive configuration results in less free space gained when using 1MB recordsize...

Yeah, that definitely seems to be a a big factor as well. I wonder how btrfs handles this scenario in comparison?

Crap, I didn't know about that one. Looks like spa_slop_shift 6 should set it back to how it was, hopefully that's a live option and not one i needed to do at creation. I'll have to look more into that, thanks for the tip!

I found the explanation here for anyone who may have been curious, assuming it is correct: https://bedecarroll.com/2015/01/26/freenas-zfs-performance-testing/ He says: 4 TB drives = about 3.6 TiB (AKA formated capacity) 12 x 3.6 TiB = 43.2 TiB 12 drives with 2 drives worth of parity =...

Yeah, zpool list gives me the total correct size before parity: zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT tank 43.5T 14.2T 29.3T - 10% 32% 1.00x ONLINE - zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT tank 10.8T 21.3T...

I guess I just don't understand. If I have 10x4TB drives leftover for storage after 2 are lost to parity shouldn't I be seeing ~37TB usable, or a bit less? These are 4k sector disks. I just went from 4 parity drives to 2 parity drives when i switched from 2x6 drive raidz2 to 1x12 drive raidz2...

Hi All, Running ZoL v0.6.5.3 on debian jessie. I just created a new pool consisting of 12x 4TB drives in raidz2 (everything on this pool is backed up, and maximum reasonably safe capacity is more important). I just nuked my previous pool of 2x6 drive raidz2's for this configuration to gain...

I just created a new pool with ZoL 0.6.5.3. I'm not 100% sure, but the correct way to utilize this feature is to create the pool with: zpool create tank -o ashift=12 -O recordsize=1M raidz2 Is that correct? zfs get recordsize tank is returning 1M for me after creation. Also, should I expect...

I have 3 aruba iap-225's and zero handoff on them works quite well. Just know that some of the functionality will depend on the client supporting the proper standards to increase the "smoothness" of the handoff. Definitely look into their IAP line, they can be had on ebay for a good bit less if...

I would definitely stay away from their current gen AC AP's. I wouldn't take one for free. They air fairly unstable and the range, especially on the 5GHz band, is abysmal. I just replaced 3 of them about a month ago after using them for a couple of years with aruba IAP-225's and the...

Unfortunately most games see little to no benefit in load times from the slowest ssd to the fastest. Even ram drives make very little difference on most games. This is an older article on it but I believe it's still relevant http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-gaming-performance,2991.html...

Yeah, I figured warranty support would be an issue but i'm not overly worried about that. That's extremely unfortunate to hear about the HP buyout, that's almost guaranteed to ruin everything at some point. Hopefully there will still be a decent option for those like me who want some of the...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone I appreciate it. Open mesh looks very interesting, I had no idea they existed, they may have been worth giving a try. I was able to get a very good deal on 4 Aruba IAP-225's. The fact they supported all of the features I wanted without the need for a...

Thanks, yeah i've been looking into aruba most of today as well. It does seem on paper if i'm understanding things correctly that their "instant" line of access points could be the way to go, like a IAP-205 or IAP-225? They seem to offer client steering (which they call client match), band...

Thanks for the replies guys. Can any of you provide ballpark pricing for the required licensing i'm going to need to run any of your recommendations? I really don't feel like dealing with emailing/calling a bunch of sales people from different wifi companies (that probably don't want to talk to...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find a wireless solution for my house that actually works. To get proper 5GHz coverage for most of the house and front/back yards I need 4+ AP's and have been using unifi UAP-AC's since their release a while ago. I can't say i've been very happy with them (middling...

I have yet to come across a bad anker product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PBZQ0YO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&m=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B00PBZQ0YO

Not sure if this is related: https://techreport.com/news/28473/some-samsung-ssds-may-suffer-from-a-buggy-trim-implementation The linked blog post is an interesting read regardless.

Sorry I'm not any help, but would you mind posting 45 drives response when you receive one? I'm curious.
