Bogging my system down

-
Hey Everyone,

A post that will lead into a server build. Below I am going to post a video of me playing Titanfall 2 (once again amazing game) while stuttering like crazy. I have played plenty of matches and had no trouble at all with my new RX 460 4GB. It wasn't until I looked  to see my Plex server was streaming in the background, while I was gaming and recording. To make a long story short its amazing how streaming will tank CPU performance but completely understandable. So I finally decided to build my dedicated Plex server from some LGA 775 parts from Ebay and an old Acer mid tower I had in my tech/cat closet.
I will be posting more gameplay in the future as well as a build guide an intro to Plex Media Server. I have been running a server for quite some time and if anyone is curious or has questions please feel free to ask me I would be happy to help.

Thanks for reading!

Logitech Combo Touch IPad keyboard case review

  Making the most of my iPad Pro Recently I decided to look into something more portable than my work laptop, but still with the features and processor power to get a lot of what I wanted done. What I landed on is the new iPad Pro combined with the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case. You can read more about my thoughts on the iPad Pro in another post, today I want to focus on my experience with the keyboard case that is currently retailing for $199.99. Please note I purchased the iPads and the cases myself and these were not provided by any company for the purpose of a review. In this post, I want to talk about the accessory that has changed the way I use my iPad completely and was a significant upgrade over my old Apple Smart Keyboard folio I used with my IPad Air 2020 as shown below. The Apple folio case was slightly cheaper at a retail price of $179.00 available on Apple’s website here. The Smart Keyboard folio is great for light typing and emphasizes portability over typi...

Yealink UH34 Review

  Hey Everyone,  With more and more virtual meetings the last couple of years a good headset is essential whether you are working from the office or working from home. I have been using this headset for the last 6 months and I have to say for the price its an excellent choice, especially for Microsoft Teams. I will note I have used this for Google Meet and Zoom, but my primary method for both calls and meetings is Teams.  The Options:  YEA-UH34-MONO-UC YEA-UH34-DUAL-UC You can get the UH34 in either a single ear or a dual ear model. My review is based on the dual ear model as I prefer the comfort and sound of having a speaker over both ears. Both models connect to your computer or laptop dock via USB A. I have tested this with both a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports and have not noticed a difference in functionality or sound quality.  The earpads are made of a fairly dense foam material that isn't too heavy on your ears, and it is comfortable to wear the headset for lo...

Long time IOS user, but tempted to make the switch to Android

 Hey Readers,  I have used various iPhone and android models in the past, and swapped back n forth between models as new features came out. But that all changed in 2018 when I picked up the iPhone X. The phone had good battery life, was comfortable to hold, and kept up with my constant phone use. I wouldn't call myself a heavy user, but due to work emails, teams, Instagram, YouTube, investing apps, etc. I am on phone more than most. With the feature set and performance I wasn't tempted to switch until the iPhone 13 pro was released.  In September I went ahead and picked up this new iPhone. You could definitely feel the weight and feature set of a more premium phone. But after the initial glamour wore off of purchasing a new device and seeing the changes in smoothness with the new 120hz display. It just felt kind of the same as my previous phone, with a slightly larger, screen snappier CPU, and huge cameras.  Pros: -Crisp display with 120hz pro motion  -Great len...
