Would I? No, but would I for my wider family who don't notice the difference between 1080p and 4k content on their 50 inch TV? Yes I would.…

I had the old version of this monitor and it was fine, it's just a 24 inch monitor that is 30% wider. It was great for productivity as I…

1080 is fine for most people at this size, nearly all businesses use 1080 22 or 24 inch monitors and users don't complain about the…

I'd definitely suggest home assistant followed by tailscale as your starters if you are in to home automation and smart tech, they were far…

Hex os seems good and exactly what I needed, a functional simple to set up Nas. I'm probably able to configure truenas but at this stage in…

Oh my set up is far worse. I put hex os on an old dell with an i5 4570 and immich is km that. It took ages to synch and kept dropping and…

I've got an old i7 8700 desktop running almost all that and it's overkill for what I'm using. If you are comfortable learning new software…

Is there a source for more information on this? I've been seriously considering one for hex os which is based on truenas and this is the…

Guide wise I'd start by doing your homework on OS. You have choices: Unraid (limited free licensing) Truenas Truenas scale Casa OS Hex…

NAS compares on YouTube has reviewed both units this week and seemed to like both of them. The N5 is modular and a great concept, and the…

Big difference is this thing can transcode itself. The microserver was great but that lack of transcoding caused me a lot of headaches back…

Horses for courses, will the N100 play GTA6? No Does it run at a low power draw, transcode Plex or make a great router with dual ethernet?…

These look to be usb c powered as well so a replacement power brick is something that is pretty easily attainable.

Normally the uplink is bigger, this switch is a little odd that 1gbps is still an uplink, in this instance it's effectively just a non Poe…

Generally most basic switches for most people's use case are gigabit across the board and it's fine. You only need anything faster if you…

Follow highway 1. Sorted 😂

Weird as guys on cheapies are able to get these on their NZ accounts which one of mine is. Will do some digging tonight to see if there's a…
