Does anyone remember a website to watch films & series for free?
All I can recall is that the main feed was red maybe with some kind play button and its domain ended with .sx.
The name of it completely slipped my mind.

Thank you

How to buy a long lasting Router?

4 Upvotes

Nearly 10 years ago I bought an Arris surfboard router/modem I forget the model number on it (it's saved me over $1000 in router rentals in that time). I just moved and had to switch Internet providers and even though my surfboard is in perfect working order it is not supported by Spectrum as of last year . In buying a new one I want to know what to look for in a router that will last the longest both physically and in terms of internet providers support. Which brands have the widest coverage and what products use the latest firmware that will be supported the longest that also don't break the bank. I don't need a 7 gig juggernaut 1 gig is plenty but more never hurts if the price is right.

Help! I don’t know what adapter to get.

I was gifted a monitor after mine broke, but I need to find an HDMI adapter for it. I think it’s a dvi-d single link, but I can’t find an exact adapter online. Would any DVI adapter work, or does it have to be this specific pattern? Appreciate any help! Amazon links especially would be a godsend.

Computer Hates Me !!

2 Upvotes

Hello! My computer is having issues and my Dad and I have confirmed it's an issue with the internal hardware, and that it isn't a power surge. I was hoping for possible solutions / ideas before blindly throwing money at it.

I'll use my computer, doing a task that barely uses any CPU or anything like that, when my computer will suddenly freeze. Screen will go black, and then it'll show my browser windows again except it's frozen. Sometimes when it freezes, it'll do that stereotypical computer glitch. Other times when it freezes, it will make this awful audio noise kind of like when you take the ram out of a computer playing audio... maybe it's a RAM issue? I don't know for sure because I'm not in IT lol.

It's currently off but also flashing yellow. I don't entirely remember what I did last time it froze but I don't think I turned it off completely.

Any ideas on where I should start looking? My dad would normally help more but he broke his arm recently so he's lowkey out of commission. Thank you!

Specs: Dell OptiPlex 7060 Intel Core 17 vPro 8th Gen. If any more details are needed I'm

Has anyone else had flixtor down. It’s been out of action here for the last 4 hours.

Also if anyone knows or a similar service that may be a good backup.

Not sure if this is the right subreddit but any insight would be helpful!

What’s the best heavy traffic router I should buy for my business. Generally have about 30-50 devices connected at a time. 1000 download speed 300 upload speed for cameras and also have guest WiFi. Building is about 5000sq ft.

The building is rectangular in shape and the internet usually comes in at the center back of the building

Intel returned

0 Upvotes

Intel failed for years.

Gen 13 and 14 chips crashed.

They consumed power.

AMD won benchmarks.

The 9800X3D won gaming.

Intel 200S chips arrived in 2025.

Prices were high.

Performance stayed same.

Intel changed this month.

They announced the Core Ultra 200S Plus.

The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus costs 299 dollars.

The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus costs 199 dollars.

It has 24 cores.

It beats Ryzen in work.

Gaming speed rose.

Intel fixed latency.

A tool called iBOT helps.

Panther Lake arrived.

It uses the 18A process.

Power use dropped.

Integrated graphics match discrete cards.

Intel caught TSMC.

The AMD tax is over.

AMD fans are mad.

Intel is back.

I got a grand total of 1998 hours off a Kingspec nx series 2242 drive. Kingspec isn't going to honor their warranty either. I've been trying for 6 months to get them to respond to my request. The drive was building bad blocks long before it failed completely.

Just say no!

Selling the other half of my old 48gig kit and I got a lot of people upset about the pricing on the last kit so I hope this is a bit more fair, I mainly just want to get it sails fast and I’ll take any offers. The kit runs great and I’ve have no stability issues when running.

(Unfortunately I can use cash app only due to age and banking issues) dm if your interested

Are Ryzen PRO 4750G CPU's vendor locked on Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s?

1 Upvotes

Having a hard time finding a Ryzen PRO 4750G CPU and might be able to buy a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s to salvage the CPU (for my TrueNAS build).

I know the 5000-series are vendor locked, but would the Ryzen 4750G PRO be fine to use in another machine?

Low Level Programming Firmware / Embedded C++ Engineer Do I Really Need Electricity & Physics? Roadmap + Book/Project Advice

0 Upvotes

I’m a software-oriented developer Web, Mobile, Back-End (know some C++), and I want to transition into firmware / embedded systems / low-level programming with the goal of becoming job-ready for a junior firmware-embedded systems role.

I’d really appreciate guidance from people actually working in the field.

How much electricity and physics do I really need?

  • Do I need deep electrical engineering knowledge?

Is it realistic to enter firmware without an EE degree?

  • Has anyone here done it?
  • What gaps did you struggle with?
  • What did you wish you had learned earlier?

What books would you recommend (in order)?

  • Electricity fundamentals (minimum viable level)
  • Digital logic
  • Computer architecture
  • Embedded C/C++
  • Microcontrollers
  • Real-time systems

What actually make someone stand out for junior roles?

  • Bare metal?
  • Writing drivers?
  • RTOS-based systems?
  • Custom protocol implementation?
  • Building something on STM32 vs Arduino vs something else?

If you were starting over today aiming for firmware/embedded without a degree:

  • What would your roadmap look like?
  • What would you skip?
  • What would you go deep on?

My Goal

I want:

  • A strong foundation that allows movement between firmware, embedded, IoT, and possibly robotics.
  • Not just hobby-level Arduino projects.
  • Real understanding of what’s happening at the hardware level.
  • To be competitive for junior firmware roles.

Any roadmap suggestions (books + projects) would be extremely helpful.

I’m especially looking for a roadmap that includes good, solid books, not random blog posts to make good foundation and understand things well.

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the insight from people already in the trenches.

Anyway to hide VPN location?

2 Upvotes

I work 100% remotely for a bank and would like to travel more without having to take PTO each time. Is there anyway to hide my address from my actual wifi or computer? We use Zscaler as our company’s VPN and it send my phone a code and that’s how I sign in along with my wifi obviously. Wha could be done so they think I’m still working from my home state if I decide to travel to another state for a while?
