2.5gbit is AWESOME, but it WON'T make your Internet faster…

So 2.5gb/s switch is great for 0.001% of users. Got it.
10:45 Linus read the sponsor script and choked cause of the truth in it 🤣
So in short – not much faster in the real world , will require upgrades to computer and routing hardware that costs as much as a new pc , has already been superseded by 10 gig ……. got ya
Getting a nas with a 10gig or 2.5gig isnt cheap
Linus should put out a video montage of all the stuff he dropped on video in 2019. Am I the only one that thinks it is worth a vid?
2:05 "wheeze… Quick! My epipen! Wheeze…" "waiting half a Minute never killed anyone!"
Perfectly reminds me of this Simpson scene!

Linus make a gaming pc out of a Dell Optiplex 755 (SFF) 2008 pc.
I would use a single microtik thing in my house security hohles everywhere.
Also i need POE+ and at most 16 ports. I already have 1gb switches connected via Fiber.
> And using Lightroom is not really a thing i do at home same for 8k i wouldn’t even put that on a NAS.
> And i never used in home streaming it’s just that there are not that many solutions that are good.
i kind of want to move my primary storage onto the network so i can use my sff builds purely on m.2 drives. only problem with that is mini itx doesn't give you enough slots for a big fat network card. probably wait till we can get mini itx boards with > 1 gb ethernet.
Linus needs to try to work his sponsor spots in like Rene Richie, lol
Here we are in Sweden where we can now get 10 Gbit/s internet for $30-50 per month and internet coverage of 99.9% of the country's area and 99.99% of the country's population.
How does 10G fare on Cat6 (not Cat6a)? If the cable is good and short enough will it work?
One Word: NAS.
In france we have 10/2/1GBPS available 1GBPS is broadly available and i have 2GBPs Fiber in 90+% of my town (and my house)
Thanks for the new meme format
My friend said that you could use cream cheese as thermal paste👌🏻😂
0:43: does it work with Firefox???
Sooooo my 0.5 Mb/s isn't good then?
DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!
So if the switch is still too expensive, couldn't you use a cheap motherboard with onboard 2.5, toss in a few of those 2.5 pcie cards and a cheap cpu, and make a homebrew switch + nas for ~$300?
I … could have done without the spitty close-up. 😀
um…excuse me what did you say??
Can't move my eyes away from that dope wallpaper.
Lol, in some parts of Poland gigabit internet is available thanks to INEA.
as 10gig is out of reach by restrictive pricing and unavailability in consumer segment, i am really looking forward to 2.5gig standard becoming mainstream as soon as possible, as 1gig had become a bottleneck a long time ago (if you want to drop files across your home network faster).
I just moved to Tokyo and I'm about to have 2 gigabit internet installed in my apartment…
Absolutely love the editing on this video lmao starts to cry
Linus. You forgot to metion one thing.
Yes, you can upgrade your switch and put a 2.5gb or 10gb card in your PC to get faster speeds, but remember that the NAS at the other end also needs to be 2.5gb or 10gb. While some NAS units can be upgraded to 10gb with an optional card you install, most only have 1gb as standard. So if you're thinking of this check your NAS first.
Look at Synology – their server racks all come with 10gb (obvs), but only one of their smaller 'consumer' NAS units has 10gb built in (the DS 1817), and a handful can be upgraded later by installing the 10gb card.
I've got an older Synology DS2415+. It's 12 bay, and I have the 12 bay expansion for up to 24 drives. But it's 1gb. And you can't upgrade it to 10gb. cries
"networking has stayed PHLAT"
Idea (for another video?): Take a cheap-o machine, put in a few 2.5 Gbit network cards and build your own switch! Or even a Raspberry Pi with a few 2.5 Gbit USB network adaptors? :O

298 SEK? Damn, that's $43 CAD or $32 USD. Man, we're getting ripped off in North America
https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Multi-Gigabit-Ethernet-lifetime-technical/dp/B075Q6NPM2 This is a quite nice switch for doing incremental deployment.
not related to this video. i have amd graphics card and monitor which is not freesync and picture quality is really bad and i really dont see any difference when connected to hdmi dvi or display port
and yeah display port cable is properly connected but it just keep saying no signal any1 help?
So when can we expect these 2.5gbit switches to reach an affordable price point?

Techquickie: Your Internet Is About To Get FASTER – 2.5 Gbps explained
🤔
Bahnhof – Pionen White Mountains Datacenter FTW 😀
Where is the video for the NAS that was shown?
tuna half-gig??
Mikrotik FTW B-)
Advertising a bloatware ?
You should do a video where you throttle your internet speed to Australian NBN speeds. I pay $79 a month for 45mb/s down… and thats fibre to the home.
#Bahnhof! #Sweden! WoopWoop!
I wonder why there seems to be no advancing 10Gig technology to produce a better lower power chip, which would also be cheaper. I would have thought the power/heat savings would be something datacentres would love aswell.
I've been eyeing that $99 ASUS card, but am wondering if it would wreck the thermals and hence noise levels of my HTPC.
