Defender lang on all 3 machines. I also told my kids not to click anything suspicious. One even found a new browser with built in adblocker recommended by online playmates. So far no issues.

Some anti-virus contain VPN function..so if you are into netflix or youtube which restricts availability of some videos to certain regions then its all worth it

Our printer/scanner conked out years ago so I do all printing and scanning via USB at the nearest seedy neighborhood internet cafe. Nadetect naman ang virus from one of the shops and Defender quarantined it at once.

Also stopped buying printers since our last one conked out. All my printers had the same issue of ink cartridge drying out as it is seldom used. Found it cheaper to just have it printed outside, hassle lang lumabas. And less clutter too.

Can anyone help me tweak this "daddy" setup? This is my 24x7 Plex server, FWIW.

CPU: E3-1285v4 (Broadwell). This was recently upgraded from an i5-4570 (Haswell)
Motherboard: Z97-D3H
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2
GPU: IGP + 1050Ti (for transcoding)
DRAM: 32GB DDR3 1600

Other than the BCLK, are there tweaks I can do in BIOS to squeeze more oomph out of this Xeon? It's a locked processor, I know. Still...

CPU-Z details: Intel Xeon E3-1285 v4 * 3573.39 MHz - CPU-Z VALIDATOR

KFC made a bucket-shaped gaming PC that warms chicken | Engadget

the KFConsole could be a pretty speedy machine, as it’s equipped with an Intel Nuc9 Extreme Compute Element that we called “the new king of tiny gaming PCs.” It includes an ASUS-built hot-swappable NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU (though Cooler Master didn’t specify which), along with a 1TB Seagate NVME SSD. Cooler Master claims that it’s VR ready, supports ray tracing and can handle 4K TV gaming and frame rates up to 240 fps.

That's why we switched to a black & white laser printer. It's pretty much Use & Forget until the toner runs out (a year later).

You can only do bclk with Haswell/Broadwells.

Probably you can find a coffee lake or a Ryzen 2nd gen APU for cheap.
