The Root Aka Rootbrian

Finally got the replacement to the defective USB onboard LAN.

Transcript

00:00Hello Internet, Sister Root. I managed to snag the network card I needed to get in order to replace the on-board Ethernet.

00:13So, here it is. That's what I had to get.

00:21So, the other thing is I had to put the camera in monotone because it kept flickering like mad. I don't know why.

00:28But, it was flickering and flickering and flickering and I couldn't see shit.

00:34And it was causing problems.

00:37And, for those that get epilepsy, that would not have been a nice thing. It would have been terrible.

00:44So, I had to factify it and put this in monotone.

00:48So, once I get the wired LAN card upgraded, that put in, I'm going to disable the on-board through the setup utility.

01:00And, that would be all.

01:03Because, ASUS is such an idiot for routing it through USB.

01:10It's literally a USB LAN card.

01:15So, once this is in, it will not be a USB LAN card no more.

01:24And, it won't disconnect every 20 seconds.

01:28Is what it was doing on occasion.

01:31The only way to solve it, turn it off.

01:34And, from Linux, literally turn it off.

01:37Disconnects it, virtually.

01:40And, reboot the computer.

01:43That solved it.

01:45But, it could happen again.

01:47And, again.

01:48And, again.

01:50Something I don't want to deal with.

01:53Especially, uploading videos that are very big in size.

01:58I'm talking gigabytes.

02:01Because, I would hate to start over again and again.

02:04Which, yes, start the upload, not the video, again and again.

02:09Because, it is very infuriating and irritating.

02:13You know what I'm talking about.

02:16Yeah.

02:18So, that's the upgrade.

02:20It was well worth the money.

02:22It was the lowest cost 10 gigabit.

02:24Yeah, 10 gigabit card I could find.

02:28The others were around $1000.

02:31Upwards of close to $1000.

02:33I was not about to pay that.

02:35I checked it out.

02:37It actually is genuine.

02:39It's good for a home network.

02:42Not for a server class.

02:44Because, it probably sucks if it was a server class.

02:47But, anyways.

02:49That will set me for the future.

02:51Considering this thing's on board.

02:53It's a measly 2.5 gigabits.

02:55And, you know.

02:57As speeds get higher.

02:59And, prices go lower.

03:01I'm going to be changing my package to reflect that.

03:05So, that will be fucking nice.

03:11Wouldn't it be great to upload a 256...

03:15A quarter gigabyte file.

03:17Sorry, a quarter terabyte.

03:19In roughly half an hour.

03:21That would be beautiful.

03:23Or less.

03:2415 minutes.

03:26That's the whole point.

03:28But, I'm not changing my package right away.

03:31I'm just getting things ready.

03:33Getting things ready in terms of the future.

03:35You know, future proofing.

03:37This machine is already future proofed.

03:39Unless the motherboard croaks on it.

03:41And, goes fuck itself.

03:45Which, it already has to a point.

03:49But, if I got to return it.

03:51You know, get a warranty swap.

03:53And, that doesn't do fuck all.

03:55Well, there really isn't much I can do.

03:59Spend another 2.5 grand on another machine.

04:01That's not that motherboard.

04:05I don't know.

04:07Oasis, or another manufacturer.

04:09Make a Ryzen capable.

04:11A Ryzen capable.

04:13Ryzen 9 capable.

04:15Board that can take up to 128 gigabytes.

04:17Or, possibly more.

04:19Or, will I have to buy a Threadripper server board.

04:23You know, EATX.

04:25And, go with a...

04:27A Threadripper?

04:29Maybe.

04:31Maybe.

04:33I may have to.

04:35I may have no other choice but to do that.

04:39Order the parts into the store.

04:41They arrive for pick up.

04:43But, I do not pick it up the same day.

04:45I let them assemble it.

04:47And, as I bring back the computer.

04:49Fully assembled.

04:51I set it up.

04:53And, I power it on.

04:55Existing storage goes where it goes.

04:57You know the drill.

04:59Existing wireless LAN.

05:01Sorry.

05:03Existing wired LAN.

05:05Hard disk graphics RAM.

05:07If applicable.

05:09Otherwise, I got to buy more RAM.

05:11And, that's for the RAM that I have.

05:13If it's not capable for that board.

05:15I would just fucking sell it.

05:19So, that's one way to do it.

05:21Or, I can...

05:23Ship it off to one of my dear friends.

05:25Out in Kingston.

05:27And, he'll gladly take it.

05:31I don't care if I have to lose money.

05:33I don't expect him to pay for it.

05:35He's a good friend.

05:37Very, very good friend.

05:39Anyways.

05:41That's all I got to say.

05:43This video has gone a bit too long.

05:45Okay.

05:49Feel free to subscribe.

05:51And, have a great day.
