Tom's Harware has a list made for SAM.

I agree. Looks like a Radion R7 360 is currently the sweet spot.

Want GTX to interface with Steam.

What does this mean? Are we talking about the driver integration that Steam does? Or is there something more?

Steam has several features that use the NVidia streaming technology that is only included in GTX model GPUs. You can use Steam without it, but not all Steam features like the Steam Link.

AMD has a separate recording app now. It might do streaming, haven't looked for that. It works with all games tho, not just Steam ones.

I always forget about that. Wish they'd enable the same features through AMD. I'm all AMD at the moment.

I downloaded Vermintide and Elite Dangerous last night. I setup my gaming PC in my living room again but still stuck with a Steam Controller, which is actually pretty great.

Nice.

I did end up grabbing Elite Dangerous: Horizons this week. My advice is to enjoy ED and skip Horizons for the time being. Lots of little details need fleshed out yet with Horizons. The best ways to make money are still fighting in a High-Intensity Resource Extraction site and rare commodity trading. Fighting in resource extraction sites is actually safer for me than rares trading (not hauling illegal goods around all the time.)

My brother has started to play it a bit so hoping we can do some flying together. I've been reading that a flight stick is basically required have you had the same experience?

I already had a nice flight stick, so haven't tried the mouse/keyboard thing. It should work if you've got some sort of game controller tho (XBox or Playstation type thing.) I can do everything I need but open menus via the flight-stick. I'm a solo-mode weenie, and not afraid to say it.

HPE (the company we used to call HP) has teamed up with Microsoft to deliver a single chassis, four node Azure cluster that you can deploy in your own datacenter. Using VSAN technology, but within a single chassis, the four node cluster in a box lets you fully replicate the Azure ecosystem on premises so that you can seamlessly move workloads between your own premises and the Azure public cloud. Trevor Potts of The Register reports on this interesting new offering.

HPE IE: We changed the name and STILL, just don't get it. Ref: "The Azure in a can 250 is a 2U chassis containing 4 nodes lashed together into a hyper-converged cluster using HP's StoreVirtual software." Let's go IPOD instead of Scale Computing. sigh

Why do you assume IPOD? can't you have replicated data within the cluster just like Scale's systems?

It's a single 2u chasis with 4 compute nodes. How is that not IPOD?

Not an IPOD. I think you mean a SPOF.

IPOD = Inverted Pyramid of Doom
SPOF = Single Point of Failure

And IPOD is a SPOF on the bottom with a widenly HA architecture build on top to hide the SPOF and make it look HA but underneath is still a SPOF.

I could see an argument made for the chassis being a layer even beneath the storage layer that is a SPOF and then everything being HA built on top of that, but as we don't normally talk about chassis and physical aspects in an architectural design I wouldn't. It's not a 3-2-1 architecture (IPOD) but it does have a SPOF.

Yep, sure enough, I'm mixing up acronyms.

I get that a lot when people ask about a Mac for their kids.

You get what?

Actually a Mac doesn't have this problem (other than - why is a MAC more expensive than a Windows machine). Apple only has one line of laptops/desktops/etc. And they are all expensive. Apple doesn't make low end shit.

Or they ONLY make low end shit. It's the high end that Apple is missing. Just because they only make one thing doesn't make it high end. Nor does that it is expensive.

You think MACs are low end shit? You feel they have less quality (in hardware) the most business class tier 1 providers?

They make the best low end shit around! At least they actually support their products, which is really what you're paying for. Seriously, even a Mac Pro could only be considered a mid-range machine for Video editing, CAD work, etc.

More or less you are asking for headphones that are like the universal translator of Star Trek. It's a neat idea and, in theory, Google can do this. However the processing power needed to do this in real time is immense and could not be put into headphones yet. As a concept, yes it can be done. In a practical sense, it cannot be done yet.

Can we create a replicator also?

I want a transporter before a replicator. We're getting closer to replicators with 3d printers, but they're still a ways off.

@DustinB3403 Sorry, I mean for XenServer.....

You should have set a management interface during the setup stages. Point a web browser at that IP address. If not, you'll need to login using a local console as the root user, and from that change the settings via the menu system provided.

Note that you only configure the management interface. None of the other interfaces will be configured on XenServer itself.

Assuming this is for a server (what CentOS is generally used for), try starting at techmint

Apparently I'm trolling mangolassi.it while waiting for downloads to finish, equipment to arrive, and people to go home so I can turn the internet off for a bit.

I have two VM hosts currently, but only one has the free space to take this as a P2V. The software on it isn't supported anymore, and can't be upgraded. It's more or less just a read only type situation.

The last time I kicked off a P2V to took 4 days and eventually failed because we had a power outage right at the end.

ROFL.... 98.... 99%.... blip 1....2.....

sigh - I hate you

Who here hasn't been there, done that?

the power outage or hating @dafyre ?

Yes
