I Tried Gaming ON A NAS...

Play some Minecraft on the Dawid Does Minecraft server courtesy of our friends at Linode!
It works on Java version 1.19.3

The input glitch is not because the HID driver is ass, but actually becuase it thinks your mouse is a touchpad. One of the “features” of it is it disables all mouse control while pressing keys so that you don’t accidentally click stuff while typing and your hands are over the hypothetical trackpad. Obviously this feature is dumb and quite archaic but turning it off can be quite the hassle, sometimes requiring you to edit a hidden registry entry.

I’ve struggled with this problem for ages when running windows boot camp on my macbook

11:11 "you can game on an ass, apparently"
11:22 "i wouldnt recommend going out and buying an ass for gaming"
11:27 "you know, if you already happen to own an ass with an HDMI port you can game on it"
14:34 "i guess you can kind of game on an ass"

Next time, gaming on a Samsung smart fridge

This is why I love Dawid!!! He is always trying the impossible!

Here we go again on yet another horrifically beautiful setup

I doubt plugging a GPU into that PCIe slot would have worked anyway, they probably are just using the connector for 4 separate SATA connections instead of an actual PCIe link

For the record, Cat5e supports 2.5Gb and unless you're trying to do a run over 350 feet, it's more than fine.

G'day Dawid,
Kryzzp from zWORMz was sent one of the Asustor NAS aswell, he gamed on his PC with the games stored on the NAS & it worked well for most games with only a few having stuttering issues,
I thought you were going to do a Similar video with the title "I Tried Gaming ON A NAS..." but in True Dawid form you did not disappoint as you took that to the EXTREME! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are Truely a LEGEND! in the Tech Tuber space.

David
You and Timmy Joe have the best character
I'm just saddened about his bypass surgery and he left computing to drive heavy equipment
You have such a flair and the colorful way you express yourself
Many thanks kind sir

You're an absolute wizard of casually sneaking statements both wildly inappropriate and perfectly harmless into common situations.

[Paperghost]

What an utter waste of time! I bloody loved it! The mad things that Dawid tries brighten up my day. 👍👍👍👍👍

i have a QNAS nas with apps and an os and an hdmi port. you can use it as a standalone pc with its own os and its own app store or you can leave it uynder the desk and forget it exists till you need something on it that you grab with another pc.. Ive tried both. I like the under the desk option better. i did however look into putting android on it and and use it as a standalone giant library media pc. i decided to mini pc my living room tv and use the nas as a nas.

I ran Windows for YEARS off an external USB3 drive on an iMac. If you try that, you’d free up the PCIe slot for a video card!

Your problems with clicking might be due to not enough power over the usb ports.

[Leonvolt]

6:12 You could use a graphics card if you can boot from a usb connected windows to go ssd. That would be really interesting.

You can create a windows to go ssd using Rufus

As a fellow Hoosier, it was pretty arousing to hear you shout out Indianapolis! I can't wait for the new Microcenter to open up 😁

[TaQa]

I cannot tell you how excited I am for Microcenter to come to Indianapolis. It's been since Fry's Electronics (which officially died 2 years ago, but died in spirit like 8 years ago) since that city has had even a borderline shoppable electronics store.

[Profielzondernaam]

I never knew that a PC could do more then 10FPS! getting myself a NAS.

[professorjack]

Businesses used to install quick books on these things. There were used as a McDonald’s grade data center

[pumachomper]

I don't know much about pc's. All of my gaming pc's have been pre-built, but I love watching and listening to this man talk about stuff, I have no clue about.
Thank you, you are awesome.
