@Windatica I assume my cards fine with a shitton of displays, but just wanted to confirm

Also I'm just super sleep deprived today and not really thinking great, because there's no way my card wouldn't do at least 4

Back then nothing

These days check gpus specs if nothing else

@Windatica @timsandtoms it's really not a problem anymore. These days most gpus support more screens. I was talking about 10+ years ago

it not about no. of screen, it about max screen res

display port wasn't available on low/mid gpus back then, so, if the gpu had only two connectors, there was nothing you could do

Also if it had a VGA connector + 2 digital ones, using the VGA connector would usually disable one of the digital connectors

would any of you happen to have experience with yocto

Can anybody help me quick? I've seen you can only go MAX at 1/2 of untwisted wire on cat5. Going longer than that will kill my comms completely or will I just lose so many feet of communication?

can you rephrase that in english

what's a MAX at 1/2 of untwisted

max what

ye

discord didnt scroll :(((

Max length of untwisted wire in cat5

So I got cable coming out of a switch, going to a another switch. From there it runs 250ft to a piece of equipment.

why is it untwisted

250 feet, yikes

also, 250ft of untwisted?

why

you're not going to make 250ft with shitty untwisted cable

inb4 it's CCA too

So this box doesn't have communications. You can see the untwisted wires

it's untwisted because it's outside of the cable

judging by the cable it was twisted at one point

This box I have comms. You can see the wires twisted up to the solder cups

so the entire cable probably is

look at the mantle, does it say UTP on it

The 250 is twisted. Almost everything is twisted, except for the box that had the insulation pulled back to solder the cat5 to the cups.

it'll probably do 100mbit

So like 3-4inches of untwisted wire. Didn't know if that was enough to fuck up communication

10mbit if you really fucked it up

just try it

why are you only using two pairs

Oh I am. The shits also engineered really dumb. The piece of equipment goes rs232-485 then back to 232 to a 232-ethernet converter.

so it's rs485 on the cable then?

because im seeing two pairs

I'd use all 8 but the company that made it only uses 4. No it's ethernet
