    Question Ethernet cable long run - realistic max?

    I'm sick unto death of seeing everyone say 100 meters. Like at 101 meters, it won't work anymore. Like the glue has to dry for exactly 24 hours. **, and relatively meaningless figures. Can someone with actual experience tell me how long you've run some cable and had it work ok? I am looking at a...

    Question NUC - can I swap loaded ssd to another NUC?

    So the new NUC showed up today and I threw the old guts into it. Everything worked fine except the ethernet cable was not recognized until I used wifi to let the intel autoupdater hunt for new intel drivers; oddly, a new ethernet port sparked to life, even before downloading any drivers, go...

    Question NUC - can I swap loaded ssd to another NUC?

    Not to me. Reinstalling every bit of software, and retweaking all the settings and bits is tedious.

    Question NUC - can I swap loaded ssd to another NUC?

    Is there some software out there to completely back up and facilitate complete mirroring of a drive, when reinstalling windows? I loathe having to reinstall every damned thing again. Or can I somehow reinstall windows without wiping all my software?

    Question NUC - can I swap loaded ssd to another NUC?

    Can I simply throw an ssd with windows on it into a new nuc without reinstalling windows and everything? Both are i5, but the new one will probably be a different, newer model. Thanks

    I love it! A camera review without any actual photos or testing. Specs specs specs. Meaningless.

    Audio but no video via HDMI through AV receiver

    Audio but no video via HDMI through AV receiver

    I tried 6 new hi speed cables. Not the issue. Have audio, so that's impossible anyway, from what I understand about hdmi.

    Receiver sub pre-out question

    No, no receivers will strip bass out automatically, as far as I've read... Got an AV receiver now to do the job. ;)

    Audio but no video via HDMI through AV receiver

    Hi, I have my nuc hooked up to my anthem receiver on to my pc monitor and get audio perfectly, but the video is corrupt. I can see it's my desktop by color, but it's torn up into horizontal lines and distorted completely. I tried every possible hdmi setting option in the receiver and changed...

    Receiver sub pre-out question

    That's true for AV receivers. This is a network stereo receiver and doesn't have those options. sadly.

    Receiver sub pre-out question

    Hi, I'm noobish on audio stuff. I have a yamaha R-N500 receiver with a single sub pre-out and am considering buying a nice subwoofer to go with my bookshelf speakers. I know that this pre-out just sends out the bass signal to the subwoofer. Does anyone know if my receiver likely has any...
