iVerge – Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti review: impressive performance for $399
Except, you’re not gonna get it for that price…
Notebookcheck – Leaked prices suggest that custom NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti will be absurdly expensive
For instance Techspot says, “MSI’s RTX 3060 Ti is selling on Amazon for £490.18, which works out at around $655.”
Reporters, it would be nice if all of you (especially the big guys) could do your fracking jobs like Techspot and Notebookcheck has. It looks for all the world like some of you big guys are in the business of selling products instead of informing your readers.

Cat6 vs Cat8 cable
I decided to see if replacing Cat6 ethernet able with Cat8 makes any difference. I had my suspicions, I mean it shouldn’t but anecdotal evidence said “maybe”.
So I ran some quick iPerf tests.

My New Network
I’ve completely redone my network.
I had problems with my old router. I considered replacing the firmware with DD-WRT but I decided against that.
