does anyone know if there's a max length for DisplayPort cables before they become less good? I thought I read that HDMI cables pretty much cap out at 6 feet before there's issues.. wondering if true for DP.. I need... a 7 foot cable where I currently only have a 6

hdmi and dp can go up to 50 feet IIRC

In my experience after 25 feet depending on the device it can be a crap shoot (looking at you Panasonic video cameras). But 7 should not be an issue at all no matter what you're doing.

it doesn't look like they have too much in the spec about length
i'd follow HDMI capabilities; high quality cables with 28AWG for 3-15 feet, 24AWG past that
I have a 25 foot cable that is thick enough to beat someone to death with. No clue on the exact gauge but it works perfectly. I think it is an Amazon brand.

I remember there was a lot of fan fare related to phase change memory a couple years back, but since then there's really been nothing coming out of that Intel/Micron alliance.
I bought a Raspberry Pi and set up Pi Hole. It works! Except after a few hours my router seemingly decided that the Pi didn't exist. Restarting the Raspberry Pi fixed it, but it'll suck if this is gonna be a recurring issue.
Just came here to post that. I guess they wanted to make sure that your kid wasn't going to accidentally reset your bulbs, but fucking hell..
I mean, on the one hand I want to get an electric car. On the other, I inherently distrust technology that falls apart if one chip fails.
All it takes is one spring clip to fail in an internal combustion engine and whoops, your engine is in pieces. See, most engines keep the pin which holds the piston onto the conrod in place with spiral locks, which are essentially a type of spring clip. Lemme tell you, when a piston pin comes loose and makes contact with the cylinder bore, a lot of bad things happen very quickly, all of which are typically catastrophic to your engine and thus also hideously expensive.
Modern conventional cars are also fucking packed to the gills with computers, I am sorry to inform you.

Reminds me of the diesel motors in the dodge Rams back in the 90s. It's a million mile motor with regular maintenance, but there is a single pin that holds a timing gear in place and it likes to wiggle out before 200k, grenading the engine. It always amazes me that you have the incredibly robust motor, and that one little $10 part can end it all well before it makes through its lifespan.

Check your IP assignment settings - if you've consistently got the same set of devices connected then switching to a static IP could help. This is just a guess though - I've been using Pi's since Gen 1 and have not encountered that particular issue, but routers are opaque devices full of sorcerous black magic so who the hell knows.

The Pi was set to static IP as part of setting up Pi Hole. Whatever caused the issue, it hasn't happened again so far.
Also, word of advice: don't set your static IP to 1.1.1.1.
You have no idea how many times I've had angry help desks call me DEMANDING I roll a tech for a given site because CLEARLY the problem is on the ISP side and they've already done all their troubleshooting and it is CERTAINLY not their equipment.
An ARP table pull usually shuts them up. But it's still so much fun to hear all of their anger just deflate to just plain dejection.
the 192.168.x.x IP range is usually reserved for internal network use, right? is that by convention or set by some standards body? or is it not a real thing at all

That is actually a standard laid out by the IETF in RFC1918. Two other ranges exist' 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/12 (CIDR notation).

My favorite part about 1.1.1.1 is that it gives everyone an alternative between two shit choices:
Choice #1: Your ISP DNS servers, which lets be honest, are horrible because ISPs often serve you up an advertisement drenched page for names that don't resolve.
Choice #2: Google's DNS servers, which lets them go even further in collecting personally identifiable information on you.
are they taking 1.1.1.1 away from google to give it to cloudflare for that? I don't really understand how DNS works at that level, I thought google owned that address or something.

I had to read that post 3 times to realize 1.1.1.1 was being referred to as unnamed choice 3.
The history of 1.1.1.1 in basic terms is that it was assigned by the American Asia Pacific Registry of Internet Numbers for research purposes and not supposed to be used in public or private routing.
So of course software and hardware providers totally used it as place holder because how easy is it to type 1.1.1.1???
Then cloudflare got it, and pointed it to a privacy focused DNS cluster along with 1.0.0.1
And then all sorts of people got pissed off when they tried to use it and found how many hardcoded things were using the IP, and for some it just broke stuff because of learned public routes suddenly overriding lower weight hardcoded routes
then a bunch of patches went out and most everybody was made happy
I don't know exactly how much i trust cloudflare given their "free speech" zone stance, but the idea behind secure dns that's not being used for advertising is a good one at least.
edit: i was completly wrong about which registry got 1.1.1.1 delegation authority

it's ridiculous looking but hey it let me plug my switch dock in next to my bed so, value
I ran it from a splitter so I could play games on my 360 from my bedroom and my living room. The splitter was the part that failed more often.

1.1.1.1 was provided/awarded to cloudflare for their help with some research for APNIC (read the blog post here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/dns-resolver-1-1-1-1/)
1.1.1.1 (1.0.0.1) is a privacy centered resolver and is faster than the GOOG more reading at: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/
