    Kscape System Specs

    The Premiere 1U+ (Kserver-1550) server has a different motherboard than Premiere 1U (Kserver-1500) based on the pictures I have seen. I can’t find clear pictures of inside to confirm which make/model motherboard and other specifications. Most likely another Commell model and different CPU socket...

    The Last Kumite (2024)

    Is there any chance we can get this movie to the store? This is a crowdfunded film featuring the 80s martial arts legends such as Cynthia Rothrock, Matthias Hues, and Abdel Qissi. It is supposed to be in the 80s style similar to Bloodsport and Kickboxer with similar editing and soundtrack...

    Kscape System Specs

    Premiere 1U (Kserver-1500) server comes with Commell LV-673 motherboard. I don't know which exact CPU is used. This board has a socket 478 which supports Pentium 4 M and Celeron M. I would say 1U and 3U are very comparable (or 1U is slightly less powerful). The different motherboard choice is...

    Star Trek TOS versions?

    The pilot episode “The Cage” (with Captain Pike) is in the extras on the Blu-ray disc release. There are also alternative cuts of a number of episodes in extras. I don’t see any extras listed on the digital versions on the Kaleidescape store. Can you confirm the pilot episode and alternative...

    Best Buy Store Credit (similar to Gift Card) with 10% off

    I have a $421.50 Store Credit card given to me from Best Buy. I don't have a need for it. I am asking $380. Best Buy Store Credit is the same as a Best Buy Gift Card except it doesn't have an expiration date. It works towards any in store or online purchases. You need to scratch the card's...

    R_Volution (Zappiti successor)

    They just released a new model called Player One 8K. https://www.rvolution.com/r-volution-playerone-8k At first glance, it does seem like a Dune HD Pro One 8K shoved into a larger R_Volution chassis with built in power supply and a 3.5" HDD bay...

    Best Buy will stop selling DVD/Blu-ray/4K UHD Blu-ray discs after this holiday season

    Sony's DADC plants were terrible in QAQC back in the day. I have so many rotted discs already. I just had to pull out 3 more discs from my Premiere disc vaults today because these discs can not longer be recognized. I wonder how many years these new Disney disc will last on shelves.

    Product Suggestion: New Strato-S with SSD and player in one

    At the 2.5” form factor, SSD have storage size advantage too. I think the largest 2.5” HDD is 5TB or about. There are even 16TB SSD now but a bit pricey. Technically, they could do 2x SSD (or 2x HDD) as the existing Strato board has 2x Sata ports on its controller. I hate the half rack width...

    Product Suggestion: New Strato-S with SSD and player in one

    The OP wanted a unit with SSD, that’s why I brought up the SSD read/write speeds, combined with WiFi speeds is overkill. I have seen the guts of the Strato S, the board covers only 1/3 of the case (if not less). If this was to be a whole new design, then they should be able to fit everything...

    Product Suggestion: New Strato-S with SSD and player in one

    There are still a couple of conflicts in this design. One, no WiFi will give you SSD read/write speeds, you will be lucky to get sustained gigabit speeds even if you have this Strato sit on the WiFi antenna. Two, for boat/RV use as indicated in the OP, you leave the Strato C in the field, you...

    Product Suggestion: New Strato-S with SSD and player in one

    What’s wrong with a Compact Terra SSD and a Strato C sitting next to one another? They take up about the same or less space as a Strato S for similar pricing. K mentioned that having more than 4 servers in a system taxes performance. Each Strato S is a player and a server in one. In multi room...
