| <riteo> | i'd argue that win 7 is more performant on whathever he's using |
| <kris_> | he has modern enough hardware |
| <kris_> | some 4c8t haswell xeon and a quadro M2000M with 32gb of ram and hella SSD storage |
| <riteo> | oh. |
| <riteo> | yea that's plenty |
| <kris_> | he just *will not do it* |
| <kris_> | he's worse than i am with the hating microsoft shit |
| <riteo> | why not linux then |
| <kris_> | and can't use linux because he needs autodesk software for work |
| <riteo> | oh I see |
| <riteo> | is that just a driver issue? |
| <riteo> | like, what do you mean by "supporting old hardware"? |
| <kris_> | i misspoke, software |
| <riteo> | oh ok |
| <kris_> | i don't want that machine on the same network as the rest of my stuff |
| <kris_> | and windows 7 outright wont connect to a network that's in wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode |
| <riteo> | that makes a lotta sense lol |
| <kris_> | so i have to just drop to wpa2 |
| <riteo> | that stuff is one day going to be like unpatched win xp |
| <riteo> | plug in the internet, explodes |
| <kris_> | try telling him that :p |
| <kris_> | i do what i can with really strict firewall rules |
| <riteo> | perhaps you could try installing a vm on linux for autodesk stuff |
| <kris_> | ive gone through all of the potential solutions with him and he just won't so |
| <riteo> | aight |
| <kris_> | it's kinda at the point where i'm like "alright bro i guess ill buy a bunch of network gear we don't need" |
| <kris_> | so the issue rn is that i have zero vlan support |
| <kris_> | anyway |
| <riteo> | well if that's the only thing I genuinely believe that you could just put the old router in AP mode into one vlan |
| <riteo> | and like everything else with whatever AP you find |
| <riteo> | no reason to buy a fancy AP if that's all you need IMO |
| <riteo> | KISS :P |
| <kris_> | the machine i'm picking up to be a router is kinda ridiculous lol |
| <kris_> | 4c8t first gen ryzen, 8gb of ram, it's a thin client with a pcie slot |
| <kris_> | hp t740 |
| <riteo> | how much did that cost |
| <kris_> | $90 |
| <riteo> | crazy |
| <kris_> | brand new too |
| <riteo> | we have seriously solved computers |
| <riteo> | that's too much power for $90 |
| <kris_> | companies offload them by the hundreds on ebay |
| <kris_> | like specifically the hp t740 |
| <riteo> | I mean, getting anything weaker would cost more so, at this point |
| <riteo> | that's not that ridiculous ig |
| <kris_> | nic i'm getting is an intel x540-t2 |
| <kris_> | $20 10 gig dual port nic |
| <kris_> | it's insane |
| <riteo> | wtf |
| <riteo> | last time I checked stuff costed a crapton |
