rog nuc looks like a steam machine let's get steamOS running on it asap

14:22 46-48 Watts of noise? :P (small mistake in text). My problem with Asus is by default not really communicating what they fix or update in a new bios, if they even fix anything at all. However a lot of things could be arranged for business laptops.

Did you get the new model baby with the AI accelerator? 🙂

One thing I woould be interested in trying is using the Nuc with the GPU to have a cloud game streaming server. That way I could have a relatively quiet computer sititng in my network stack that I can stream games to using parsec or steam link to a handheld device like the retroid pocket or logitech cloud handheld etc. Or even stream it to a low power ultrabook so I can play some more intense games on a lower power computer.

You've got a few months before it will apply, but Taking Cara Babies sleep training method is amazing. 2 kids, both sleeping through the night by 2.5 months old. Highly recommend.

congrats on the little guy! What package are you running during the power and noise testing?

Your child is going to be unique. Anyone with advice about how to get them to sleep after the first month is full of S***. Do what ever works, but know that it may suck. It does get better.

How many years do you think a used pc like this will last using it for a basic pc . Thanks

One feature that Patrick didn’t bring up: the tall variant of the classic NUC has an optional second 2.5G NIC. It’s an add-in module that sits in the 2242 M.2 slot, with a connector that sits under the rear IO. Intel even took care to optimize NIC naming, on Linux with systemd.net-naming-scheme(7), the two NICs show up as enp100s0 and enp101s0 respectively.

Been running proxmox on one of these bad boys for a few months now. Absolutely great unit! Edit: i can't spell lol

Patrick with 2h of sleep is as awake as I am not after a full weekend of sleep and 4 espressos in

We just hard our second child this week,

Congrats on becoming a dad! It does get better, you will get more sleep just going to be a while!

God bless you Patrick!

Congrats! Two pieves of advice: First treat nightime baby duty like shift work. One parent is on from bedtime until midnight (or the halfway point for your collective sleep schedule) and the other is on from midnight (or halfway point) to morning. This allows both parents to get 5-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. THIS WILL BE A GAME CHANGER. Trust me on this. Second advice; do what works for you. You don't need to listen to any advice and should do what works for your family.

Asus. I’d personally take a pass.

overacting

NUCs don't need Windows 11 Pro. They need linux. ;) As for parenting advice: you can save a ton on baby toys with a regulation football - they won't be able to chew it apart, and it can roll/bounce a million different ways to keep the kid entertained and confused much longer than any spherical ball, once their old enough to start moving around/interacting with the world. If you're super concerned about the firmer "pigskin" style, Nerf footballs also work, at least until teething era. Apart from that, don't spend money on new anything until they're talking. You'll save a ton of money, reduce landfill waste, and no one will remember or care. Also, when asking others for gifts/help/etc, focus on stuff that would make you as PARENTS feel relief. Again, the kid won't remember the extra trip through the park or fancy stroller, but every meal you don't need to make yourself, or room that someone else cleans while you're taking a nap is going to give you back energy to try to keep from drowning at work, and to actually do all the fun bits of parenting.

Congrats! Huge life changing moment, and don't worry, you can get some sleep back in just a few short years :D

Baby tip: You've got 3 month now to arrange everything, create as much free time as you can in your life, calm everything down, surround your self (specially your wife since she will take the biggest hit) with support group and get used to sleeping with crying baby - in three months teething starts and this is where real stress begins :) And remember, for you as a father - having children is all about the logistics !

18w tdp on idle is bad for the nuc 14 pro. things didn't change much for intel+windows gang. why not use a beelink ser8 for the quiet and efficient system if you still need windows

Regarding the Qnap LAN+NVME card: could you try with their 2xNVME-only (not LAN) card? My experience with that card is that the LAN chip won't power on with a 160W Pico PSU+120W power brick, but it would boot with a 180W PSU from the Inwin Chopin. Same system, only PSU was different. Also another PCIe 1-lane 2.5GB Lan card would not boot with a pico PSU. I mean, it's strange that that card won't boot when 50W GPUs work.

from Burkina Faso congrats to the family ! Love your contents most particularly Thin clients. for Proxmox usage

Oh nice, great job; there's no such thing as "too late" to be a father, and i applaud you for wait longer before having children. At least you're now prepared better for.... not having a good sleep for 3 years straight lol (it should be fine)

Pro Parenting Tip: Enjoy it! Everyone always told me about the sleepless nights, the patience needed, nappy changing etc etc. No one ever told me how much fun it would be! Being a dad is awesome, don't forget to enjoy it 😅! My 2 cents.

@11:10 - Compared to a Intel nuc8109U (i3) - Single: 904 Multi: 2115 - 8th gen intel entery level nuc with Geekbench 5

@02:15 - Log Off. Go Home, We can wait. Spend that first two weeks helping, healing, and holding your wife and baby! - That first Two week (and two months) will seem slow (due to lack of sleep) but really goes fast and you will be on year two before you know it.

Great vid as always....! patenting....Ok you will finaly get some sleep after 55, does that help HaHaHa. No one has all the answers, you will work it out as time goes by, every baby is differant, make the most of it while they are young, soon enough you will be ignored as they live in there bedroom.

is a shame that ASUS is hot garbage lately

haven't finished watching the video yet, but want to say congrats!

Congratulations!! All the best! 😊

Mine just turned 18. My motto is love the boy more than hate the dirty diaper. I retired from being a contract IT professional, so I could stay home with my son who was born too soon. Treasure these days I don't know where you are to recommend any places. I am in Jersey.

I have a product of high pressure car washer, please can you test it❤

Congratulations ❤ How can I contact you directly

Congratulations and remember to take care. You do a great job!

At 2:42 Baby tips: 1: Lots of hugs....both baby and mommy. 2: Get use to the lack of sleep....you May fondly remember sleep has that thing you used to do when you didn't have a care in the world....but that is over.

Congratulations to you both!! 🎉

Dang, that N50 based unit is almost my dream firewall. I have an N100 unit with a fan that struggles a bit with my home internet it has a single internal M.2 and a bootable micro SD. if that N50 unit came with the larger heatsink and say, an N200 or N300 it would be all i would need up to 3 bootable deivces internally s a great plus because i might be able to get away with a 120GB optane drive for web caching. Also, thank you Intel for starting to rename Alderlake-N to Atom, i was REALLY upset with the atom based i3-N305. Its performance is great, the name is very misleading, when looking at everything but the CPU cores and GPU, it has worse features/specs than first gen core i3(ignoring the version differences), fewer channels of RAM, fewer PCIe lanes.

Baby tip: Listen to everyone's advice, do what's right for you and your family.

Stop promoting ASUS products

I like ASUS and I have some of their hardware. But maore than $2K for a NUC is insane. Saying that I could build a machine for less than this really doesn't mean much when I know that people like Dell build full fledged workstations every day for much less than what ASUS is charging.

I'd love to see them do a fanless n100 release: Perfect workshop/garage PC.

Here is something to add to your evaluations that won't cost a thing. I've been noticing some heat dissipation issues with some of these smaller machines. Stuff like processors going into heat saturation and then cranking back. I personally use HWMonitor to view this but there are other utilities that will get to the same information. The bottom line is that some of the engineering is a bit lacking and the performance is less than expected.

Ohh - grats on being a DAD!! :) Great video as always.

Wi-Fi module is not upgradeable on the NUC 14 Pro anymore! Pretty disappointing, as these NUCs tend to last a long time and it would have been nice to be able to swap to Wi-Fi 7 or 8 when available.

I wish they would design the higher-end NUCs to handle dust. My mums Intel NUC the heatsink got completely clogged and you have to dismantle the entire unit to get to the heatsink, making it impractical to clean regularly. I've bought the Akasa passive case for it, but not installed yet, I'm not convinced of its reliability as it relies on the motherboard screws to hold the CPU on the heat spreader, rather than the screws near the SoC. I can see it flexing over time making bad contact. According to Intel though the newer e-cores should be interesting, as they are claiming 38-68% IPC gains.

Awww, congrats on the fatherhood brother. Thats awesome. I'm stoked for you.

Congrats on the USFF human

When changing diapers, don't be too quick to remove it. But be extra quick putting the clean one on. Don't want to get soaked, lol.

Congratulations Patrick
