I am happy I could still get it in red 😋

Original RAM was Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200), while my new sticks are TeamGroup T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18.

I gotta do this. I can't believe one terrabyte is feeling small on the disk to.

Heh, I just upgraded my NAS to 18TB total storage. Which sounds like a large number but it'd go very fast if I were storing 4k video.

I'm at 60tb and I'm still eyeing up sales on 16tb drives. I've got a media hoarding problem but if the internet goes completely down y'all can come to my place for a movie night.

Count me in, Meats ❤️

Decrease the bit rate to like 200 kbps. Might look a bit blocky though.

Personally I think 1080p is good enough for me, usually.

[–] victorz 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That's good. It really depends, for me personally.

Usually I get really good shows and movies with a lot of graphical details and special effects or other cool stuff, in 4K. But dramas and shit with just people are fine in 1080p.

Examples: 3 Body Problem, The Mandalorian, 4K. After Life (with Ricky Gervais), or Family Guy or other cartoons, 1080p.

Makes sense. For me it depends on whether I'm going to watch something on a monitor or a TV...a movie I'm planning to watch on my TV I may very well go for the 4k version. But 4k file sizes are high enough that I'll definitely think about whether 1080p is good enough.

I've 3tb or 4 total SSD space and I still run out of room with my games. Also have a 1tb portable hardrive that's almost always full too. Shits got big in size.

Im getting so old. I remember when we would put a notch on the other side of our floppy disk to get a few more kilobytes and we like it. We loved it!

That's why I got around 20 TB in my gaming PC. 8 TB is reserved for the media.
