Yea! So cool!! Do you think drone shows will eventually replace fireworks?

Yes, of course.

must pass a basic background check.

Yeah definitely not ideal. I wish it was clean with 0 ads.

I love my News+ subscription. Lots of great things to read and no clutter.

I am shocked! SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.

Thanks for this one. My Google Home has the same capability for BBC and NPR so I tried NPR with Siri, but it just played the NPR live feed in Music. Know if I can get that hourly news report from NPR like the BBC one?

I love this kind of stuff.

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.

Intel Chief

Not Intel the company, but as in “intelligence”.

Yeah season 5 are all bangers.

Beautiful!

Love this lighting. Makes it look like CGI.

From what I can remember, LD idea mostly referencing TNG and TOS. Can’t remember any references to Discovery.

Fixed it but it took a few months—maybe even a year. It was a wild time. Lots of conspiracies about console version vs PC.

Mr Pirate Man

This feels like the discussion then Fallout 4 was released. People were getting 15fps in the locations like the outdoor cities and Bethesda blamed it on the PC.

Yeah he’s very cool 2edgy4me

The Riker Maneuver

Throw in Garak and I’m hooked.
