Why are NAS so expensive? I want to buy a 6bay NAS and they cost like 500.

As far as I know, they are using double precision math on position/physics calculations due to the extreme range of distances (space vs in-ship) involved. The CPUs on the current consoles would get a seizure.
I'm used to having uptimes measured in months. Since WIndows XP. Obviously, it really bothers me.
Well, the start menu can be completely fixed by an investment of $2.99.What does is the insane shortening of jumplist to 10 entries with no way to increase.
Also the fact that I have to jump through hoops to get my DS4 working properly.
Also the fact that the bloody thing boots up 2-3 times slower than Win7 (sure, it shows login screen instantaneously, but then proceeds to truly load everything Win7 did before booting.
Also the fact that the bloody Start menu is close to useless (only 2048 entries being indexed?), and Classic Shell still seems to have some problems with Win10 (first try to enter the menu almost always crashes the explorer process)
I'm sure to find more. It's not a Win8 scale travesty, but IMO still a downgrade from Win7.
Well, you can build a mATX NAS system for less.

Yeah. Thats why I am wondering why prebuilt NAS are so expensive. Any good cheap mATX cases recommended for a NAS?
Build a NAS with raspberry pi would cost significantly lesser and cost effective
So not only will I get access to the tales of zestria game via family share I got access to:
Witcher 3
Cities Skyline
(plus few others)
I started W3 and at 1080 with most things medium, no hairworks, some stuff at high I get 47 FPS.
Should I sacrifice (turn down) some stuff to get 60 or just limit the game to 30? I am use to 60 FPS (like in GTAV).

Symphie still doesn't have even a release date, so I'm not sure how bamco is going to handle this, if it unlocks, it might not count as a game until much later, while Zesty definitely counts as I bought it as my 3000th game and it worked.

Anybody here tried to play it, had problems or no problems?

I won a 4bay HP NAS on facebook years ago. The seagate drive shipped with it was loud and also died this year, otherwise pretty ok for free. I also don't get those high prices for these prebuilts. HP left the home NAS business some time ago too lol.
I see then zesty will likely become my 2000th games if when symphie is unlocked
Well, you can go much cheaper (as always, there's a conflict between "cheap" and "good"
), but a Nanoxia Deeep Silence 4 is small, looks nice, has 6 3.5" bays and is soundproofed.I AM TEH SEX!

Wait is family sharing like how people used to use PSN to game share? Family as in immediate family in the same household or what real world situations do people use family sharing in?
I don't know how it works.
I don't know how it works.
you can read everything what's to know about family sharing here
http://store.steampowered.com/promotion/familysharing
I'm using Classic Start, can't say it looks too bad and is free to boot.
I mean, what's not to like about this:
(Even has bloody jumplist not limited to 10 entries. Sadly, just for menu, not the taskbar).
Will give StartIsBack a try though, thank you.
(And I hope MS patches those memory leaks)
Don't know how PSN works, but on Steam works like this:
you log in with your account on somebody else's Steam (on their PC of course), and in Settings->Family click on "Authorize This Computer".
I can't remember if you have to jump through some Steamguard hoops, but still, once done, you just log out and that's it. Now the other person will have access to all your library (except those games that have family sharing disabled).
You'll be able to de-authorize that person computer whenever you please from your own Settings-Family.
When you are playing, the other person cannot play your games.
If the other person is playing your games and you want to play them too, what happens is that when you launch a game, the other person will get a warning that in some minutes their game is gonna quit because you're gaining control over your library back.
It's designed for use in the one household (hence the name), but there's nothing preventing you from sharing your games with someone abroad -- you just have to log in on their PC and authorise both their account and the system (Enco and I use Team Viewer, which is free and easy to use). Unlike PSN game sharing, though, concurrent library access is not allowed, which is to say that if you're playing a game, secondary users cannot access your games at all, and if a "sharee" is playing one of your games, they'll be booted out after five minutes if you (the account owner) load up something.
Edit: b10.

This should grant me some kind of SteamGAF award.
The good thing about StartIsBack is that it's 100% the WIndows 7 start menu (the best incarnation so far IMHO), but with additional configuration options.
Oh, Classic Start has a Win7 preset as well (fully configurable). I've just always been fond of 2k style. Less visual clutter the better for me.

Is there a contest for who can make their start menu look the most disgustingly 90s? That blue gradient alone just gave me eye cancer. The item limit is patched in the latest Insider builds btw, Threshold 2 will be a nice big update whenever it hits.

It wasn't a serious answer
Here's what mine looks like:
And unlike the native start menu, it actually works for indexing manually created shortcuts to desktop programs!

We're all winners.
No problems, aside from being difficult as Hell (I have the impression that CM is leveling the difficult of their games every new game since Grid 2)
you are lucky, there seems to be many people with problems and no solutions whatsoever.
I'm not so sure that's a good thing, I mean there is such thing as being annoyingly difficult for no good reason.
I didn't know that Friendly HUD mod for W3 also allows live meditation

I still don;t know why CDPR removed this from W3.

How can this annoyance be disabled forever?
Maybe add your phone number?

The issue is I don't want to.
And even then it would still be too expensive.
Also in regard to Windows 10 start, I have had zero issues with ClassicShell. Never crashes.
Moredoors started off with great potential then had a sudden dip in quality across the board, narratively, mechanically, world design etc, that sort of picked up at the first boss fight, dropped again in the second area, fidgeted a bit when you unlocked the brand ability and they slowly tapered off into mediocrity until the end. Gaming press loved it though so shows what I know
I have a trader that Tizoc recommended to me (thanks Tizoc!), he seem pretty friendly. Maybe you can talk to him? Ask him to buy a copy for you. Put it in his inventory, then after you get paid on the 20th. Pay for it and he'll give you the copy. I mean worst case scenario he'll get his money refunded if you can't buy the copy.

Because he doesn't want to give out yet more personal information, perhaps? He doesn't even need a reason. He doesn't want to do it, ever, that's his right.

Cool read. Never played an FMV game, so not sure how it feels.
Finished Contradiction in one 6.8 hours sitting (with breaks, I'm not insane yet) and I have to say I rather enjoyed it. The actors are fantastic and so are the characters, the plot is intriguing and the game's really easy to jump in and play. I was surprised to find that, aside from a few uh, lucky findings, the puzzles made sense all the way to the end, and I never felt like I had to do too much guesswork to solve them either. The interface could use some improvements, like there's no reason to show objects that can't be used in interviews in the interview screen. It's not a big issue, but it does become annoying towards the end when you'll have a good number of objects and clues to keep track of.
Contradiction's major problem however is the ending. It's a bit underwhelming and while it provides closure, a bit too much is left unresolved for my taste.
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend this one even for people who don't like point and click games.
Hm, I'm seeing it every time steam client gets updated.
Hey my good GAFfers!
I have a lot of things to recover, specially XCOM 2 news but I'm glad to be back, things were a little dark from the past months, but don't worry, I won't bring such negativity to this fine place, I'm just glad things are (slowly) improving and I can now resume my backlog cleaning and my rest my mind a bit.

Just dive in, it's an all in all relaxing and entertaining PnC-style FMV game.
It's $5 over at Bundlestars' latest bundle.
Hell you can take your time playing it. The KS managed to reach its goal at the time but if it had recieved its stretch goals it may had gotten to show more.
I do believe the devs said that should it sell well enough they would be able to make a successor or sequel.
