But the bandwidth has to be more expensive in the long run…

But obviously they’re taking the more bandwidth intense route, that must cost them more money…

GeForce now uses 20 gigs/hour at the highest quality, how are they not just sending the entire video to your screen, what more do they need to send??

Why does the terrain take more (much more) bandwidth than a video stream?

And what the heck do you mean they’re “streaming the terrain” surely it would be a one and done date transfer, much smaller than a live video packet stream, that amount of bandwidth is insane, you could do multiple 4k streams.

But how much data does it take to send terrain information? Why not just send the picture of the terrain every moment (stream it) rather than whatever they’re doing?

GeForce now streams the entire game to you, it takes a few mb/s, barely more than YouTube.

Microsoft could stream an entire game screen to you for far less bandwidth, so what are they actually sending to your machine?

An architect parading as an “engineer”

Are they streaming it to you??

Wait that would actually take FAR LESS DATA

I’m buying at least one of them!

I don’t know which one…

Very funny it all happened on the same day

Count it outer clockwise

Crank it right in?

I’m pretty excited for this one, glad they figured out how to do water physics!

With the real good tips here!

I’m just being pedantic here, but an intercom system expands anywhere there’s networking, requires fewer wires, and lower voltage (will even work without power, not very well, but it will)

Did you run the line under ground or through conduit? Disconnect it from both sides, attach string/fishing line to one side, pull cable out of conduit on the side without the string attached. Detach string from either meet cable, reattach string with Ethernet cable and the additional cable (speaker cable in this case), pull string from the original side until both cables make their appearance.

Outside of walkie talkies (have you considered walkie talkie? Maybe put an antenna outside of the shop?) this is the simplest way to do it (imo, but I don’t play with raspberry pi’s)

It’s literally speaker wire, or you could clip the ends of your Ethernet and use those (but you probably want your Ethernet out there still XD. One side will be to be run to power, but it’ll power the rest of the stations through the wire.

I feel like this is definitely what you’re looking for, no computers required.

From Amazon, I found “IS543 5/4/3 WIRE INTERCOM STAT-PLAST”

It’s similar to what we had growing up, 1 in the shed, 1 in the kitchen 1 in the game room, push the button of the location you wanted to talk to, only 1 direction of communication at a time, over.

I feel like you’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be, why would you involve a switch or processor when you’re just carrying sound waves? You don’t even need a modulator, it just needs to connect a microphone to a speaker like cans on a string. Is it the highest quality? No, will it record your conversation for posterity? Also no. Will it let you tell at someone to get their asses in for dinner, absolutely

You’ve already run wires, why not a microphone and speaker system?

No longer available and no longer integrated are not equivocal.

I no longer identify as a “gamer” it’s long since been coopted by a group I have no desire to associate with.

Not sure what their “world” is but I imagine a lot of tendonitis from all the knee jerk reactions from the members of it

Feynman, taught me it’s okay to question people, people grow when they’re questioned, and it isn’t wrong to speak up when you don’t know something even if everyone else seems to know that thing, because maybe group think has everyone assuming everybody else knows what’s going on, and that’s when shit can go seriously wrong.
