    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Honestly no idea, it's not something I generally track. If I need something, I just print it and when I get low on filament I buy more. I'd guess maybe no more than 1kg spool's worth?? possibly less

    Quality of Razor mice?

    Been using a Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed for a couple of years now and have been super pleased with it. It gets transported in a pocket on my bag between work and home a few days a week too. I use it at work all day in bluetooth mode on a Mac and flick over to 2.4g when using my Windows machine...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Given how many here like Unifi products, I thought some might appreciate my mini rack :). I designed and 3D printed it mid last year to help tidy the mess that used to live in this cupboard. It's a stackable modular design based on similar designs on Thingiverse but I modelled each one to fit my...

    Decluttering your house.

    Been attempting to declutter for a while and there is a decent noticeable difference which makes me feel good! We mostly focussed on the loft (Stuff that we boxed up and moved house with that never got unboxed :eek:) and our spare room that became a bit of a dumping ground for anything that...

    Plex pc specs

    I'm running a HP EliteDesk 840 G4 mini with an i5-8500 CPU in that I picked up off eBay for £160. As has been noted already, the extra QuickSync codec support on the 8th gen and above CPU is nice when transcoding is necessary. I primarily use DirectPlay to an Nvidia Shield Pro that's plumbed...

    Looking for recommendations for a network switch with POE that's able to isolate a camera connected to it from the internet

    Few thoughts here; Make sure that you don't have devices in the DMZ on your firewall/router and don't have random inbound ports open to internal devices. You could consider disabling UPNP too but that may cause other issues for devices on your network that are expecting to be able to...

    'Shrouded' Motherboards?

    Not sure if you've seen but the NZXT N7 Z790 appears to be around £280-£290 at the minute via some places. that'd fit in your ideal price point :)

    "simple" FPS games

    Not quite an FPS (more First-Person Action with FPS elements) so not sure if this would be your bag, but based on some of the suggestions already, I do wonder if Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay would be of interest. It was genuinely a quality game with some great mechanics and...

    *** FACTORIO: Space Age **** DLC pack announced!

    100%, it's refreshing to see. I've come from many years playing on Xbox where demo's just weren't a thing for the longest time. in recent years there have been a tiny smattering (Forza Horizon for example) but it's still very weak. My experience with Factorio's demo could have simply been the...

    *** FACTORIO: Space Age **** DLC pack announced!

    Here to say I've just got back into PC gaming, stumbled onto Factorio and am now well and truly down the rabbit hole! I hear it's where time goes to die :cry: I am currently playing the story and it's been a great introduction into the game. I think I'm about 6 hours in (2 hours of demo and 4...

    'Shrouded' Motherboards?

    The N7 looks fantastic, but random thought; buy whichever board you like for features/price point and 3D print a shroud similar to the N7? I know the covers on the N7 are metal and seem to be magnetic, but I guess you could use the motherboard mounting screws or design with clips in mind to clip...

    Stargate - Timekeepers

    Briefly tried the demo on Steam last night and found it quite interesting. I've not played this genre much at all having always gravitated more towards RTS than tactics type games, but I had fun in what little I played. While I haven't played a lot, my initial take away so far is that I feel you...

    User Experience with Large Bi-Fold Doors

    haha oops indeed! I saw the thread pop up at the top of the list and didn't check the date! presumed it was a recent thread.

    User Experience with Large Bi-Fold Doors

    We had a roughly 3.5M bifold door fitted in early 2022 as part of a new kitchen. We had a large front room/dining room that ran the full length of the house halved with a new false wall, then knocked through from the dining room into the old galley kitchen next to it to make a larger kitchen...

    What do you do with your home server?

    Mine is primarily a Plex server/file server, but I also run Home Assistant and AdGuard on there too. Around 60% of my house is "smartified" and I'm keen to get the remaining part upgraded too. Having control over lighting, heating, motion, controllers, weather, 3rd party services, power...

    Post your actual energy usage

    Are these some kind of home assistant card that's displaying date/usage/cost etc? They look smart! I've been looking for something like that myself for a dashboard

    Samsung announces 2024 OLED monitors - CES 2024

    This is from a build quality POV or something else like warranty? Not bought a monitor for many years so quite out the loop but I'm keen to finally upgrade

    Dock for M1 Air that actually works

    We use the Caldigit HDMI-dock as our standard TB dock in the office. They are easily one of the most reliable docking stations I've found and happily support dual screens too which is nice! I understand why they hold their value. They also work on non-Apple hardware too which makes them great...

    Samsung announces 2024 OLED monitors - CES 2024

    Exciting! I haven't seen any of the current gen OLED's in person so couldn't judge for myself but reports of text clarity were off putting, especially when dumping a grand+ on a monitor!
