Factory reset the settings.

Have you been keeping it updated and secure? There’s been news of attacks on Synology devices, it’s all over the Synology sub-Reddit.

The problem was even more basic. Wifi extender was tripping. I still gotta reconfigure everything though . At least there's no data loss. My porn collection files are safe

I ordered the rack April 1st. It’s supposed to come tomorrow but tracking says it hasn’t been dropped off at UPS yet.

I ordered a wooden 8U server rack for all my networking gear.

I started playing Half-Life Alyx. It's good, but it's not TLOU2. I'm only on chapter 3, so we'll see, but this shyt is kinda hard. I'm using a Tactsuit (vest and arms) and it's pretty cool to have all that haptic feedback and immersion. I got a Meta Quest Pro for free from my old company, It's cool, but not worth the money. I would have never have got one if I had to pay for it. The Meta Quest 2 is perfectly fine.

Thinking about upgrading my 3080 to a 4070ti but I’m thinking if I wait until later this year I can get a 4080 for a decent price?

 

[Ciggavelli]

Half Life Alyx is actually really good. It's next gen gaming. They really did VR well. It's just that chapter 3 sucked

Do you guys build your own PCs? Or do you all go for pre-built PC?

I'm thinking about building another gaming PC but I was wondering if it was still difficult to get parts for another build.

I build my own PC. For the most case, getting parts isn't difficult like how it was 2-3 years ago, but GPUs outside of Intel are still expensive sadly. So, if you're going high end, you're gonna be paying a pretty penny, but mid range is looking good sense Intel is in the mix.

What do you value most: image quality in terms of color reproduction and black levels? Or high refresh rate for speed and smoothness for gaming? Whats your budget?

It looks cool, but you can’t put a radiator at the bottom. I’d worry about airflow and heat issues if you want to water cool both your cpu and gpu (custom or all in one). If you don’t want to water cool, then it probably wouldn’t matter.
