32 wont be much help on gaming, unless you run 50 programs at once and run a game on top? Lol

I'll run like 50 different blockland clients at the same time so I can pretend to be less lonely on my server.

A dedicated server might need a chunk if you minimize it and play other games as well.

I was going to run a ded while playing fallout 4, is 16 enough?

[Lord Tony®]

I currently have 10gb of ram is there a difference between 10 and 16?

Yeah, 6GB.

[Bisjac]

16 ia still way more then a heavy gaming comp still needs.
Adobe suite people doing a lot of rendering, and editing would prob like 32.

[Lord Tony®]

Yeah, 6GB.

Anyone understand how the mac update cycles work? I'm looking at getting something like a macbook air/pro so I can deploy from Unity to IOS. I can claim the full price of the laptop as an equipment expense against my business so I'm not worried about cost.

I've had a look at the macrumors buyers guide but I don't really understand, do they continuously drop support for 'older' models in new updates?

Most older models take a bit of time until they drop support, however, it is a common practice of Apple to do the "self-feeding cycle" in which as the updates progress, older machines run progressively slower each time making them feel outdated and in need of an update.  Apple is very good at this and is how they conduct iPad and iPhone sales so effectively by creating an area where users feel the need to consistently upgrade each year so they don't get "left behind".  Another area they do is with is app developers, they update apps for the newer hardware, thus leaving behind the older hardware to not be able to run it, per say, 'as well as', the newer hardware.

Finally got around to replacing our old 10/100 switch with a gigabit switch.






Can't wait for the free upgrade to 200Mbit/s I'm getting at the end of the year :)

is it normal for me to get dns issues on a gigabit switch?
my last motherboard lost its lan, but now im starting to think it didnt because a new motherboard is doing the same thing and the only thing that hasnt changed is my gigabit switch
things just wont load, it gets stuck on "Resolving host..." then says "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNE T"'
in the command prompt things like www.google.com aren't even able to be pinged or traced, they simply dont exist in the eyes of the lan

[Tokthree]

Have you tried changing your DNS server to the google ones?

[shitlord]

yes i've tried all that stuff and it never works
the dns issues slowly got worse with both of them until it will give me errors on startup saying that programs couldn't contact the internet, and they're confused because the computer sees it has internet

[Tokthree]

As far as I know a switch shouldn't have anything to do with DNS resolving. I don't think that anything in a network besides the receiving device has any involvement in DNS resolving, though I could be wrong

[shitlord]

i just think its weird that two motherboards are doing the exact same thing and the only thing that hasn't changed is the gigabit switch
