Apparently some people I work with were blind to the fact of how much our CEO makes. Because I recently got an email to a website wanting to unionize our non-salary workers. I do NOT want to be part of a union, thanks anyway. I think there may be a vote coming not far in the future. -_-

You're supposed to unionize so you can take advantage of the company you work for. Like GM paying people on the assembly line ~$25/hr to install door handles.

Nvidia's ShadowPlay is pretty nice for streaming/recording if you have a card that supports it. Nvidia has a chip on their card for streaming over the network to their Nvidia Shield (the handheld thing), but they let you use it for streaming and recording. It does all the encoding stuff on that chip so it doesn't affect your game performance like FRAPs and other capture software does.

You can set it to be always recording so you can kit a button and it saves your last 20 minutes of game play. It's pretty handy if you do something awesome and no one will believe you.

I love that click bait title. "9 out of 10 Americans are wrong about THIS MIND BLOWING FACT!" It might as well have been, "Justin Bieber does WHAT?" or "Man finds WHAT inside his bathroom?". Stupid internet.

I highly doubt 9 out of 10 Americans are blind to the ridiculous amount of money corporate CEOs make. They might not know the exact numbers, but they know it's hell of a lot more than they should be making.

What's league of legends?

 

 

 

 

DOTA 2 clone I think.

Router doesn't cost that much unless you go for a rack-mounted router. Here is a chart of some router (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/view)

 

Most switch in the market is dual-band/dual-core, so get one that is dual

Oh, fancy. Thank's for the list.

Okay, so I definitely need to go Modem->Router->Switch.

What's a good router that doesn't cost $241.99? It doesn't have to be wireless and it doesn't need many ports because it will just be a middle man between the modem and the switch.

 

Cisco is the industry standard for 5+ wired connection. I have tested several switches and routers in the past and Ubiquiti comes close to second having the best throughput, first being Cisco. With that said, Cisco is expensive and they never release new firmware.

 

Ubiquiti is a great alternative for switches and router for having a great industry standard UI plus a compelling price. Even their home products have industry networking feature (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1EA0TX6677)

 

With the faster internet we want to go from the modem, to a router (I guess it's required), then to a 15 port switch

 

Can't you connect the switch directly to the modem instead of the router. Using your setup, if one of your computer from the switch is communicating with a computer like a printer or shared drive connecting to the router or one of the computer connecting to the router uses the internet bandwidth heavily, you will be throttling the bandwidth. In addition, home router is not built for 5+ connection. Router is not a 1 to 1 throughput so there will be an additional delay. And no, router is not required for switch setup.

 

That second part is the part I'm trying to figure out. The modem we have right now is a modem/router combo. So I can't test connecting a modem directly to the switch. But now I'm getting conflicting reports from this topic.

It's even easier:

If I was spending almost $250 why would I just not get this 10/100/1000 one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AT1868816

You can use a 10/100 router. The limit on the network would depend if your ISP is really giving you 90 mbps.

If you do a lot of home networking/file server I think the 10/100/1000 would be better. Depending if everything else you're using can go that fast. Usually, everything can.

 

I have Uverse too, but you have 2 routers?

My setup is the Uverse Router -> 4 port switch.

Why not get a Wireless Router with a lot of ports?

We need about 10 wired connections. Most of the wireless routers I see have about 6, at most.

As I recommended, there is no need for you to have 10/100/1000 switch because you do not setup a real local network with Ethernet capabilities. Save some money and get 10/100 (and yes this information is still good). Gigabit switch is cool for LAN. In your case, you want signal to be spread evenly for all users (except wireless, cuz no matter what they won't get full signal, unless repeater in each corner.).

I explain this to myself with plumbing example. If you want I can share

 

Don't forget to keep all cables in order, no pipes around, or main electric lines. Use well ventilated room or storage. Buy a cactus. Pray to Cthulhu and hit tambourine.

"All users" is actually just two. The computers and other devices won't all be actively using the network at the same time. The devices are four PCs, two Roku boxes, TV, Xbox, Playstation, a WD MyCloud, and some other things. The MyCloud is a large reason I would like a 1gb speeds, being able to stream 1080p movies or installing/copying software directly from the device as fast as possible through the network.

I do not have a cactus, but I do have a pachira.

10/100 is enough. Read the link I posted there is an explanation. In simple words of mine, your modem 10/100/1000 meaning its healthy to have a small network by splitting signal through a switch by 10/100 for each unit. This way it wont create conjunctions.

I'm reading it, but I'm not seeing the numbers 10, 100, or 1000 anywhere.

Edit: I see, it's on the page before the one you linked. I wonder what year that thing is from.

We already have a 1000mbps network. I'm just trying to figure out of a 10/100 router will affect the 10/100/1000 switch.

What are you trying to do?

We are getting new internet. 90mbps from Bright House. We want to buy our own modem, then split the connection over around 10 wired devices and 5 or so wireless devices. Right now we have 24mbps from Uverse, the modem provided is a modem/router combo thing. So we have the modem/router with 4 ports, then that goes to a 10/100/1000 wireless router that has more wired ports. With the faster internet we want to go from the modem, to a router (I guess it's required), then to a 15 port switch. One of the ports on the switch will have a wireless access point. That is the plan anyway.

With 90mbps internet I wanted the network to be 1000mbps, I feel like having a 100mbps network is really close to 90mbps and might cause issues while downloading and trying to do network stuff at the same time. Right now our network is already 1000mbps. I would like it to stay that way if I can. Does getting a 10/100 router attached to a 10/100/1000 switch put any limit on the network?

Another question. Does the router have to be 10/100/1000 AND the switch 10/100/1000 or can only the switch be 10/100/1000? Looking around online most of the routers I saw were only 10/100. The 10/100/1000 ones were like $200-$700 and there were very few.

Right now we have a router/modem combo thing and the router part is 10/100/1000, but we are switching ISPs and going to get a stand alone modem.

I think You can connect modem>PC>switch

That sounds like the PC would always have to be on, which I won't think would work for me.

Can you go Modem->Switch or does it have to be Modem->Router->Switch?

This just for a home network. The modem would be plugged into the switch. The switch would have all wired electronics plugged into it. The switch would also have a wireless hotspot thinger. Is a router required in there somewhere for this to work?

He talks about where he got his hacks, talks to both developers and the people that provide the hacks, and some hackers themselves.

Is it Daylight or Dying light? Daylight is $14.99 regularly and $9.99 on Steam right now. I could imagine Dying Light being $29.99 though.

That's a mouse trap. Top surface is an industrial strength adhesive. If you're hunting for a new mouse, this is easily the best way to catch one.

 

Are you Canadian?

That looks cool, but what does a cutting board have to do with a mouse??

I think the real question is, why would anyone want to play a Valve game?

Awesomenauts = side scrolling Dota platformer??

Yes. And sums up why I own it but don't play it.

I played some of the beta and my brother bought the full game. So I played some live also.

Feels like an MMORPG... kind of. To me it feels like it's somewhere in between a standard MMORPG of pressing number keys for abilities and a proper Elder Scrolls game. Which I guess is what they are going for, but it doesn't feel enough like a proper Elder Scrolls game. Having played the Elder Scrolls games since Morrowind the MMORPG part is the part holding it back, which sucks because that's what the point of them making the game. I didn't think I'd like it from the start and I was right after having played it.

I would have preferred something like Destiny, Borderlands, or The Division gameplay. A small group of people in a full fledged Skyrim like world, with all the real time physics and real time combat, not an MMORPG half-breed. Destiny and The Division also have a MMOG feeling because you can run into other groups of players while running around in your group. That's how I would have wanted this game to go.

Yeah, I have to hyper-fast scroll to the bottom so I can type "TL:DR".

Right now I have a G700 and it's been great. I have one of the Logitech mouse pads that are the tuned surfaces, or whatever they are called. Maybe I'll buy the G502 when it's on sale.

It's nearly impawssible?
