Sup /g/, for a while now my neighbor in my apartment building and I have been splitting the internet bill, with me connecting to his wireless router. However, someone recently moved in to a unit closer to me than the neighbor I'm sharing with, and ever since then my internet has slowed to a crawl (<1Mbps). I'm guessing the new neighbor's wireless router is causing interference. I've tried all the 2.4GHz channels, even the in-between ones but it makes no difference.

Unfortunately 5GHz doesn't work, at least with the stock antennas. I'm just out of range by maybe 20 feet or so (and a couple concrete walls).

Unless someone has had good luck with a high gain 5GHz antenna extending coverage through walls, and can share their experience here... it would seem my only two options are

>powerline ethernet
>MoCA

Powerline ethernet seems like sort of a crappy solution, and I live in an old building and my neighbor and I are on totally different meters, so I'm not even sure it would work well. I also fear that it might trip other peoples' circuit breakers if they have the new ARC type installed.

Then there's MoCA, but from what I understand, a POE filter needs to be installed to prevent interference with other customers. Outside there is a cable box where there is a split from the main drop to each different unit. Given that, I'm not sure how I'd install a POE filter so that the MoCA wouldn't interfere with others, but also so the signals wouldn't be blocked between myself and my neighbor (who are connected to different cables at the main box).

Any suggestions? Am I underestimating the effectiveness of a high (24+) gain 5GHz antenna's effectiveness through walls? Or the performance of powerline ethernet (or likelihood of it tripping breakers)? Or is there an easy way to install a POE filter between my neighbor and I? Something else?

I'm moving from the US to Europe and I want to take the computer I built along. I've exhausted all of my resources and I can't seem to find a straight answer. The country I'm going to supports a voltage of 220-240V, and my PSU has a switch on the back to change voltages. Now I have the US cable, but I don't have an EU cable to plug in. Will using a socket adapter work, or should I keep looking to find an EU cable for my PSU?

You can only post ITT if you are one of the elite Sandy Bridge master race.

You CANNOT post ITT if you fell for the memes and remorsefully """upgraded""" your Sandy to any of the subsequent housefires.

Are founders edition cards really that bad?

We got gift cards from an retailer as work bonus, but it only has founders edition 1080Ti's. But with the gift card a 1080Ti would "only" be (the equivalent of) US$ 400

Can we have a decent mouse thread?

I'm planning to buy a new mouse to replace my Deathadder that served me 3 years. It still work's fine but when something hits the cable it would disconnect all of a sudden.

Looking into Zowie Ec2a, Steelseries rival 300 or the Logitech g403.

I have a claw grip and would prefer a mouse slightly lighter and smaller than the Deathadder.

Also I play some games like CSGO, Overwatch and Dota if that helps. I'm just trying to get a good mouse with good sensor and is actually comfy.
