    Buy a 1kva APC UPS. Will give you around 600 watts. You should be able to it under 10K either locally or at https://apc.estorewale.com/product/apc-back-ups-pro-1000va-br1000g-in-1/

    Another tip is to not connect your TV to it. I've noticed that OLEDs sometime have spikes as high as 350W and may cause issues. If you have a backup power that kicks in later, then this should work. Otherwise you can buy a separate smaller UPS for TV

    Playing Halo 2 now, and it feels better than Halo 1.. significantly. But, all in all, not really enjoying it much.

    Particularly hate the "big open areas with no direction markers" style of it. And that Warthog control... yuck!

     

     

    Shouldn't have started Halo at all :wallbash:

    Yeah I didn't really like Halo as well. It feels pretty boring at this time. I guess it was famous because of being good for its time (and for the multiplayer aspects of it)

    I doubt it. I was using a Cat 5, and then a Cat 6 cable between my router and AP. Even though they are rated for 1000 Mbps, they couldn't carry it beyond 800-850 Mbps or so. Changed to Cat 7, and started getting full bandwidth. 

     

    I am on a 1 Gbps plan. 

     

    Edit: I know quality matters, and I was using AmazonBasics. 

     

    Cat 5e is enough for gigabit over short distances. Generally the issue is caused by quality, bends and interference (all exacerbated in longer lengths), due to the nature of shielding/core/frequency-capability of the specifications required by a category. So, if you can use a higher category cable, then that is generally preferable due to the added robustness against these factors not because the lower category is not rated to carry full 1 gbps.

    Amazon basics cat6 cables are average, cat7 are good. But at the same time they make mistakes as well. e.g. in the cat7 i got they had connected the wrong pair of wires thus limiting the speed. I use that cable to make my own shorter cables with fixed pairing.

    @Shantz bro can you please check if the ps5 bot is working. I went to the link instantly but it was out of stock. 

     

    It's indeed coming into stock (probably 1 unit at a time since it's going out of stock in just a second). There's an Add to cart button appearing on the page. Just need to be lucky, or more than a few units to come in at a time.

    The bot seems to be saying in stock but when I click it says out of stock. (Not complaining but curious :P) why does it do that? Coz it's available for other locations? giphy.gif?cid=349c9dd7d173a7jhgahxhq2ciwvmo344kr0eo75qb29yu9x5&rid=giphy.gif

    There's generally a delay of anywhere between 1-5 seconds by the time you get the notification. I guess if only 1/2 pieces came in, then someone took it by the time you get the notification.
