Let's test out the INNOCN 15.6" OLED portable monitor. I’m always on the lookout for a good display to pair with emulators and retro games, and this little OLED is interesting for that. It's OLED, so we know the colors are good, blacks are deep... that plus the gray to gray and this makes the old games feel a lot better when compared to an IPS or something.

It'll also be good for watching movies on the go. However, there's a catch... At the time of making this video, it's $319. That might be a lot for a 15.6" screen. Let's see if it's worth the loot.

I'll be putting it through its paces, testing the ghosting, and playing some games to figure out if it’s good enough to justify that price. Is it practical for travel? And how does it compare to other options in this price range? Check out the video or I'll grab your ears and jump off the balcony.

Specs:

🖥️ 15.6" OLED display
📺 3840 x 2160 4K resolution
🎨 100% DCI-P3 color gamut
🧲 Detachable magnetic stand
🔌 Mini-HDMI and USB-C inputs
🔊 Integrated speakers
⚖️ Slim and lightweight (under 2 lbs)

I've been testing these two mini PCs—the M7 with a Ryzen 7 and the M7 Pro with a Ryzen 9—to see if the jump to the Ryzen 9 is really worth it. I’ve run them through all the usual benchmarks like Cinebench, Geekbench, and Superposition, plus I’ve thrown in some demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3, and even Frostpunk 2. The idea is to find out if the Ryzen 9 actually gives a noticeable boost over the Ryzen 7, or if it’s more of a marginal improvement when it comes to real-world performance.

Looking at these specs, the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H in the M7 Pro runs up to 4.90GHz, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H in the standard M7 is slightly slower at 4.70GHz. Both have the same Radeon 680M integrated graphics, so the performance difference mostly comes down to the extra frequency or maybe the ram speed.

They also share a lot of features: DDR5 memory (up to 32GB), 1TB NVMe SSD storage, USB 4 support, and Wi-Fi 6E. The only real difference on paper is that higher clock speed with the Ryzen 9, but the question is whether that translates to better performance in everyday use or gaming.

The Obsbot Tiny 2 has forced my hand... I've switched to this tiny (fancy) webcam and ditched my large Panasonic GH4 micro 4/3 SLR camera. This also does a lot more than the big SLR did. It can swivel and pivot, meaning it can follow me around. Beyond that, there are post-processing effects that are really handy. I don't have to color correct in post anymore!

Let's talk about this Minisforum Ryzen 9 beast.

Minisforum UM890 Pro on their website:

Minisforum does not mess around. They have always delivered a solid product. Today we are looking at the Minisforum UM890 Pro. It is based on the Ryzen 9 8945HS... so we will see how this differs from the 7840hs and previous-gen Ryzen 9 parts. It's branded as "professional" so it doesn't have the fancy LED logos; it's just in a sleek case.

Here are the specs:

Ryzen 9 8945HS - 8 cores/16 threads 5.2 GHz max clock
32 GB RAM 5600 MHz DDR5 (max 96 GB)
1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD
Radeon 780M GPU 2800 Mhz

EaseUS makes very easy-to-use software and I've found it to be quite powerful. EaseUS Data Recovery is free for most users, so that's really cool.

I've seen many programs that will scan and show you the files that can be recovered, but then they make you pay to recover them. EaseUS Data Recovery allows you to recover files under 2GB in size for free. You will need to upgrade to pro if you need to recover larger files, repair videos/photos/documents, or recover from a NAS. Check out the video for all the details.

#microsoft has decided that it's a good idea to label legit programs as malware/viruses. This is a massive security issue for many reasons. I'll cover them all in the video.

So, what happened? Microsoft has added ExplorerPatcher to windows defender definition list... so defender will block it. Not only that, but many other anti-virus and anti-malware programs will block it as well just because MS has blocked it. This forces us to add the program to our safe list... which is VERY dangerous. What if an update introduces a real threat?

Here's a link to ExplorerPatcher:

Peladn sure makes a well-built mini PC. The Peladn WO4 features the Intel Core Ultra 7 with 16 cores and 22 threads... plenty of cores for VMs, if you ask me. It's also loaded with the latest ports and features (USB 4, etc.) Here are the specs:

Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
16 Cores and 22 Threads
USB 4.0 and Dual LAN 2.5G
Wi-Fi 6.0 and Bluetooth 5.2
Pre-installed Windows 11 Pro
Magnetic Cover

Check out the video for all the benchmarks. Does this beat the Ryzen parts?

Get the INNOCN 49" Ultrawide Monitor here: amazon.com/dp/B0BXZY18SB?tag=teksynd-20
There's a 120hz VA panel version and a 240hz OLED version there.

They have a 45" version as well that will be better if you need some extra space or if you are sitting closer (due to the higher pixel density). Check it out here: amazon.com/dp/B0C595Y7CT?tag=teksynd-20

Have you ever gamed on a monitor this wide? It's kinda wild. It's 49", but it's crazy wide... it feels like two 27" 1440p monitors taped together without any seams.... and with a slight, 1800R curve. So, you can actually sit at your desk and use this... It's not too tall, it's just REALLY wide.

The Acebook 8 has enough power for most people (meaning people who use the internet, watch shows, and do some office or video editing work). It's also good for indie gaming or retro gaming.

I test it with a bunch of programs, test the heat and noise, benchmark the M.2 SSD, and try out some gaming. Check out the video for all the testing.

How to Install a Wiki (Wiki.js) on an UltaHost VPS Server (Is UltaHost Good?)

Tek Syndicate 2024-09-14 | Check out UltaHost: ultahost.com | Here are the VPS plans: ultahost.com/vps-hosting

Store: epicpants.com
Music: zweihander.com
Website: teksyndicate.com

I decided to check out UltaHost and their VPS offerings. I have been wanting to show everyone how to set up Wiki.js for a while now, so this looked like a good opportunity. I really like how you get Free DDOS protection & unlimited bandwidth. This is extremely handy when you need to share or host large files. So, feel free to use this for ownCloud, Nextcloud, FileCloud etc.

Now, let's talk about Wiki.js

There are so many reason to run your own website or web application like wiki.js. I've been using it in place of the online paid services... it's especially helpful for my creative projects, game dev documents like the GDD or the game bible, etc.

Installing Wiki.js is easy. In this tutorial, I'll be simply following the instructions here:
docs.requarks.io/install

After I get it installed, I'll set up a site and give you a tour plus a few pointers.

Enjoy. Post questions below if need be.

I Didnt Know Gaming Chairs Were This Good | AutoFull M6 Gaming Chair

Tek Syndicate 2024-09-12 | Check out the AutoFull M6 Gaming Chair on Amazon (Use code AutoFull10 to get 10% off): amzn.to/3S6OUdy
AutoFull M6 Gaming Chair on their official site (Use code TS10 to get 10% off): bit.ly/4gigSNZ

Store: epicpants.com
Music: zweihander.com
Website: teksyndicate.com

I feel like this is the first gaming chair I've tested that was also "real" chair. I guess that's a little harsh, but this chair is different. It fits more with high-end office chairs than it does with most gaming chairs. That's probably due to the features and build quality.

Check out the video for all the details.

With so many ergonomic and gaming chairs on the market, we're seeing better designs all the time. The AutoFull M6 really changed how I think about gaming chairs. Its standout features and ergonomic design make it a solid option for both gaming and office work.

Ventilated and Heated Seat: Warm in the winter, cool in the summer.
Dynamic Tracking Lumbar Support: Keep your spine supported and comfortable all day.
6D Mechanical Armrests: Keeps your arms supported no matter the game or activity.

Does Windows 11 24H2 Still Suck?

-----------------------------
Does Windows 11 still suck? Well, let's give it a test drive. In this video, I'll cover all the new features (that I know about and/or that are worth talking about) and I'll see if I can break it in nice ways... meaning I'll see if I can install ExplorerPatcher, Open-Shell, RetroBar, and a few other things.

I'll be honest and say that things are a lot better. It's still in the wrong direction for many of us... and the interface is still kinda insane... and you still can't move the taskbar to the side or the top... but we can work around most of these things with a few hacks. The file explorer is a lot better this time around. We can finally drag and drop to the breadcrumbs, which is a huge deal for me... and you can now zip things up using several formats (tar, zip, etc.) right on the right-click context menu. These options aren't on the old right-click menu, so that's annoying. However, this is kinda going in the right direction.

Watch the video for the rest.

Here's links to what I installed.

This year I only focused on the indie game section. So, what do we cover?

Indie Games:
Inpulse
inpulesgame.com
Inpulse is a puzzle platformer... you're a flute and you use various waveforms/music to "ride the music"... you're basically using notes to rocket jump.

AO Containment Breach
You will not believe what engine they are using... You're sent in to clean up a bunch of wild monsters. The game has an extremely cool vibe imo:
store.steampowered.com/app/2892560/AO_Containment_Breach

Everdeep Aurora
"An ongoing apocalyptic meteor shower has forced the world’s population to settle underground. As Shell, a feline child who awakens to find her mother missing, drill downward from the surface layer through a tile-based underground and discover the Everdeep"
store.steampowered.com/app/2251400/Everdeep_Aurora

TetherGeist
Traverse a mystical world by separating and rejoining with your ghost in this challenging yet satisfying pixel platformer.

SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim
WTF did I just play?!
store.steampowered.com/app/2492120/SAEKO_Giantess_Dating_Sim

Techno Banter
"Your rising star was shining bright and you were going straight to the top. And once misfortune struck, it struck hard. In an instant, the days of living large in the prestigious high-rises were gone.
Looks like you need to go back to doing what you know best - bouncing the door at your old job in the Green Door club. Seems that, much like you, the club has nowhere to go but up, and so it’s time to bring it back to its former glory.
GET. TO. WORK."

You have no idea how much you need something until you unfold it and realize how big of a deal it is. This is a dual screen laptop that folds down to be almost as thin as any other ultrabook-sized laptop. Just watch the video.

I also find it interesting taht they use an older i7 CPU. That should keep the cost a bit lower while providing almost the same speed as the newer cores. The GPU isn't as fancy, but that might not be such a bad thing. I do not think this will be sold as a gaming monitor... but now I do want a triple screen laptop with a GPU (and I want someone else to lug it around for me).

Here's the specs for the ACEMAGIC X1 360° Horizontal Dual-Screen Laptop:

Processor
Intel® Core™ i7-1255U
10 cores 12 threads
Processor Base Frequency: 3.50 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency: 4.70 GHz

Graphics
Intel Iris® Xe Graphics

Memory

I'm looking at a bunch of stuff in this video. First, a budget action camera that's under $40 and comes with all the accessories. How is it? Well... good for the money.

Next, let's talk about game preservation. I have a bunch of old boxed games and boxes deteriorate over time. So, these acrylic cases are amazing for keeping them safe. Check out the video for the details.

The more I use Linux, the more I think about how things could be on Windows... and how they are not. So, come with me into the shower! WAIT- I mean, come with me as I have some shower-thoughts about why Windows 11 is the way that it is...

See, I'm just writing more words here because I'm supposed to do that... You're supposed to watch the video... well, really... I know you're just going to set your phone down, or put this on while you're driving... and that's fine. I didn't do much while editing this. I grabbed a few clips from my latest Fedora Linux video and some clips from my latest videos on Windows 11 being bad and dumb and all that; just listening is totally fine by me. I mean, I know nobody is reading this which is why I'm going to start talking about rotten bananas again. Nobody can stop me. Oh, also, Microsoft is greedy and doesn't care about the customers. This is the biggest difference... greeeed dictates the direction of the OS while user experience takes a back seat. While over in Linux world, we have 10000 different versions all doing different things... and, when you look at most of these distros, you'll realize... these nerds hate money!

OK... thanks for reading. Go eat a box of socks.

The more I use Linux (fedora currently), the more I realize why Windows 11 is so bad... it's by design. What do I mean by that? Well, watch the video. I think I hone in on the reasons Microsoft does what they do. A lot of it has to do with their mainstream status and need to be "safe for everyone" even if they aren't technical. But, there are more reasons.

We'll also talk about how Microsoft makes money, because that plays a major role in what a company does. I compare this with the Linux community and how things are not always driven by money.

Watch the video for all the ranting and details.

IT'S ON SALE NOW! 10% off Amazon coupon: ORICOAAGM2 plus an extra $10 off.

Check out the ORICO AAGM2-U4 40Gbps M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure on Amazon:
amazon.com/dp/B0CXCQCFC7?tag=teksynd-20
(affiliate)

Canned, yet real info:
High-Speed Connectivity: Supports speeds up to 40Gbps, compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4, USB4, USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0 interfaces.
Efficient Cooling: Built-in cooling fan to ensure optimal performance and longevity of NVMe SSDs.
Tool-Free Installation: Designed for hassle-free installation of M.2 NVMe SSDs (2230/2242/2260/2280 M Key).
Premium Build: Aluminum construction for excellent heat dissipation and durability.

It's crazy to have a portable drive this fast. This Orico drive was backed on kickstarter, so there's definitely a demand. As for the style, I like the clear case that allows me to see the M.2. I'll let you be the judge though.

The unit also features a fan that moves hot air away from the NVMe M.2. Check the video for test results.

Note: My Linux test speeds must have been very compressed, because those speeds are beyond what it's supposed to be able to do. Refer to the Windows tests for accurate results.

Box contents:

1* 40gbps M.2 Enclousre

You Should Probably Switch to Linux (I Test How Easy it Is for a Newb)

Tek Syndicate 2024-07-26 | ZimaBlade Official Shop: bit.ly/4cB9avA
ZimaBlade Personal NAS: bit.ly/3VZJZgR
ZimaBlade on Amazon: amazon.com/ZimaBlade-Hackable-Personal-Ethernet-Attached/dp/B0D4DFLP2Z?tag=teksynd-20

Thanks to ZimaBlade for sponsoring this video. I've been doing a lot of testing with the ZimaBlade and ZimaBoard single board servers these days. Here is my video showcasing the ZimaBlade 7700 NAS Kit. It comes with a 2 bay HDD tray, the ZimaBlade, 16 GB RAM, USB C Power adapter, Sata Y cable (so you can hook up both drives), and a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter dongle.

youtu.be/2eP0ff2nmIM

I install CasaOS, Jellyfin, Pihole, and test out the NAS. Check out the video above for all the details. The best thing about the ZimaBlade and ZimaBoard is that they are x86-based machines, NOT Arm-based machines. So, the sky is the limit. You can install Linux, BSD, TrueNAS, Windows, Emulation environments, etc. You can even use them as firewalls/routers if you install OPNsense/PFsense.

I talked about why I can't use Linux on my main PC... but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't. I'm weird and do loads of things that most people do not do (music creation, etc.). Most people will actually be just fine on Linux.

For reference, here is the "Why I can't use Linux," video: youtu.be/c6YDQobJbLc

Linux has gotten so much better, and it's only going to keep going in this direction. So, is it time to switch? Probably. I'm kinda a newb, but I'm going to try to keep this extremely newb-friendly. I think anyone who can install Windows, set up steam, install some games, install Discord, and use their PC can do all that just as well on Linux. We can argue about distros another time. I decided to go with Fedora with Plasma 6. Check out the video for the details.

Tiny NAS! ZimaBlade NAS Kit Review - Jellyfin Install, Linux/CasaOS, & 2 NAS HDDs

I really like this ZimaBlade X86 Single Board Server. It's a ton of fun and extremely useful. I has a quadcore (one of 4), ram slot, gigabit port, DisplayPort, and PCIe 4x port.

So, since it's x86 and has a RAM slot, the sky is the limit. It comes with CasaOS, which I think is good for most. It's an OS that makes installing docker containers trivally easy. I installed Jellyfin with a few clicks.

In this video, I'm testing the entire ZimaBlade 7700 NAS Kit. You get 16GB of RAM, A dual SSD cable adapter, and a little dual hard disk rack (oh, and a USB C power supply).

One note, DO NOT use this USB C power supply with anything else... It's usually safe... but I fried some stuff trying.

Prime Day is coming up and Synology is having a big sale. This won't just be on Amazon, in fact, it's probably best to check B&H first. So, look at the links above to see how good the deals are.

I've been using a Synology DS918+ since it came out. I loved it, but it was time for an upgrade. The biggest difference here is that we can install a 10 GbE ethernet adapter, two M.2 NVMe SSDs. and plenty of ram. The DS923+ allows you to create storage pools with your M.2 NVMe... so combine that with the 10 GbE (also runs at 2.5 if that's what you have) and you can edit 4k videos right from the nas.

Check out the video for all the details.

Windows works well... IF you disable all the nonsense. Microsoft has turned #Windows into spyware, but we can disable most of it. I'll teach you how to disable your advertising ID, telemetry, data collection, web search in your start menu, cortana, and a bunch of other stuff. We will learn how to do this multiple ways, so if one of the ways fails to work after a future update, the others might.

So, let's lock down Windows 11. I'm using the latest Windows 11 24H2 build that is still in beta, that way it will be somewhat future-proof. This also works with Windows 10.

RetroBar is a Windows taskbar replacement that works on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11. It works like the old taskbars on Vista (it was optional on 7) going all the way back to Windows 98 (or maybe 95).

The key difference here is the placement of the QuickLaunch area. It's on the left, then the tabs are on the taskbar to the right. See the video for a full demonstration.

I didn't realize how much I missed this layout. I currently use RetroBar on Windows and I use Plasma 6 on Fedora with a layout that is basically the same. It's awesome. Let me know what you think.

Move from Shared Hosting to VPS EASILY | Hostinger Cyberpanel & Cloudpanel Tutorial

Hostinger contacted me about doing a tutorial... so I decided to look at their VPS options. I have used them many times in the past, but that was usually on their cloud hosting plans. The VPS prices are amazing for what you get. So, I decided to test it out.... after-which, I agreed to make the video.

You get AMD Epyc CPUs, NVME, and more ram the most of the competition (comparing prices). The servers were snappy too. The real thing that impressed me was just how easy it all is. I love that your ip address stays the same even if you change your OS. That makes DNS management easy. Also, the one-click application installs are very convenient. I tried several before deciding to focus on Cloudpanel and Cyberpanel.

Why these two panels? Well, many people are afraid of VPS servers... they are worried that they won't know what to do... and they feel like they need cloud hosting. You get more for your money with VPS, but you generally need to know the command line... and Linux can be intimidating. Well, this isn't difficult at all.

I was able to set up both Cloudpanel and Cyberpanel with just a few clicks. I didn't need to open the Linux terminal at all. Plus, if you get lost or want to go beyond the regular installation, there's an ai assistant that can help you with the Linux command line.

Check out the video. The goal is to convince you that VPS can be extremely easy. It's faster, more secure, and you can finally move away from c-panel without missing out on any major features.

I test out the TrimUI Smart Pro hand-held gaming system... and it was way better than I expected it to be. We have a large, 4.9" IPS screen and the unit is powerful enough for some PSP, some N64, and every PS game I tested.

Check out the video. I also cover the 8BitDo - Ultimate Wireless Bluetooth Gaming Controller and a foldable bluetooth keyboard.

For many, #linux meets their needs... but this isn't true for everyone. There are some programs that have no replacements. Creative types especially have this problem... Linux does many things, but audio is not one of them. There are several other reasons that keep people tied to platforms like #windows10, #windows11 and #MacOS.

#linuxgaming has also come a long way, but modding support isn't fully there yet. This may or may not matter.

Let's discuss all the reasons I'm stuck on linux... and I'm just writing nonsense at this point. I hope I got enough fancy words into this thing to make it beat the all-go-rhythm (I'm afraid to type the real word because... what if THEY are watching!).

I was very pessimistic regarding Windows 11 and the direction #Microsoft is taking with its operating system. They seem to hate power-users as much as they hate security. Well, is there anything we can do? Maybe. The community backlash has turned into community projects. There are now more ways to customize Windows 11... and there will be more and more as time goes on. Let's post some links:

First, if you are sick on Windows, I totally understand. Here's a couple Linux distros that I'd recommend:
openSuse: opensuse.org
Manjaro: manjaro.org

Alternative File Explorers for Windows 10 and Windows 11:

Files File Manager: https://files.community/
OneCommander: onecommander.com

A better taskbar (hide the Windows taskbar first): RetroBar: deviantart.com/madhale/art/RetroBar-Dark-Modes-Windows-95-2000-XP-Etc-1053142400
Dark Mode themes I made for RetroBar: deviantart.com/madhale/art/RetroBar-Dark-Modes-Windows-95-2000-XP-Etc-1053142400

OR If you want a more MAC OS look and feel, try TaskbarXI:
github.com/ChrisAnd1998/TaskbarXI?tab=readme-ov-file

Complete Shell Replacement: Cairo Shell: cairoshell.com

ExplorerPatcher: github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

I will probably do a video on Windhawk once we get better Windows 11 support (it works but the latest Windows updates break things):

I decided to message them (they emailed me a looong time ago, so I finally responded) because I need an easy way to migrate from one disk to another. I'm actually shocked at how easy it was. I've used basically every disk cloning utility... the free ones and the paid ones... and this is, by far, the easiest.

So, if you want to migrate your OS drive to a new disk, check it out.

Acemagic, please stop using the ENDEV.exe file. Even if there is no trojan, there has been in the past and I can't recommend or endorse a system with this file present. This file is larger than the previous ones that contained the virus... I scanned and scanned and couldn't find anything, but I still do not want to see ENDEV.exe on the PC. What is it? Well, it's supposedly there to force Windows to bypass the online setup, therefore allowing you to use an offline account during initial setup. This is cool, but I am having a hard time trusting this file.

I don't want to take any chances, so I completely wiped the drive and re-installed Windows 11 before completing the tests. I would recommend doing this on most computers now days. I just do not trust anything.

I think I keep saying 8745... My brain is bent because I keep switching the 7840 to become the 8740. The model is 8845! OK, now that that's covered... let's talk about this Mini PC. It's interesting to finally get to test the 8845HS CPU. It's VERY similar to the 7840HS, so check the benchmarks for that.

It scores slightly better than most of the 7840HS PCs and has a few extras, so is it worth it to buy the 8845HS? Well, maybe... and I'll cover all that in the video.

Windows 11 has a massive update coming soon: 24H2. First, there are some new things that some people will like... AI stuff like voice clarity, notepad with AI, AI on the desktop... god help us.
Otherwise, it's a massive screw you to power users. MS is locking down the interface more than ever. Fighting to disable apps that change things (hopefully updates will fix the issues), but it looks as if they want you to use the computer their way rather than your way. Just watch the video. I don't feel like typing anything else... here's some of this nonsense: #windows11 #windows10 #windows8 #startisback #open-shell #explorerpatcher

Microsoft has removed the easiest way to use an offline account. This will be enough to force most users to just comply... and set up an always online Microsoft account. This is the future. They do not want you to be able to use a PC without a permanent tether to their cloud. They want to feed you ads and harvest your data. It's a bit bleak.

However, we can still use an offline mode using a couple different methods. Check out the video.

For the advanced method, here are the instructions:

Press Shift+F10 (some laptops require you to press Function(FN)+Shift+F10)
Then type this into the command prompt: oobe\bypassnro
