Just saw that video about an historical figure of almost 300 years ago : From ~6 minutes in the video until the end, am I the only one to see similarities with a famous modern figure? Regarding your election and the result that will be marked as the end of modern democracies and the beginning...

Would that small PC do it for you, with a pair of 8TB M.2 drives? It uses between 7W and 10W idle. Lower-end than that, there's the Hardkernel's HC4. Assembly video here. Only 0.29W idle power.

I have not been rebuilding/supporting personal computers for the past eight years, but I remember using several of those tools back then. This list will be quite handy as a reference for a support professional.

I think that what's driving the schedule at AMD is the server market. They are so far ahead of what Intel offers at the moment that they don't need to hurry before introducing a new architecture. Zen5 server chips will be out in time to compete with Intel's Granite Rapids (6th gen Xeon), but...

I wish there would be a Zen5 CPU available now, but the 8840U is Zen4-based. It is clearly written on AMD's general specifications page.

I only consider on-line UPS to protect my equipment. AFAIK, line-interactive UPS won't properly protect against brown-outs. The cheapest models I can find are those : Eaton 9PX700RT Eaton 9PX1000RT APC SRT1000XLA The prices I see are in the order I placed them above. None are cheap, but I...

For those fortunate enough to work for a networking device manufacturer or a reseller, one tool that's quite useful to create network diagram is Intangi Iris. You can see a demo of the program when used to create a network with Ruckus (former Brocade switches) devices. Several other...

You draw network diagrams like coaches draw football plays :

So you think the only people who speak Swedish are vikings and the descendants of slaves they captured and brought back in the dark ages?

My sincere codolences, JTR. You will get through this.

My immediate question is: what tool and which hole? I know of many things that would fail if you'd push some kind of tool in a hole on their bottom...

What I don't like about most Intel processors since Tiger Lake is that their real power consumption can be much higher than their advertised TDP. In the case of the Core i9 185H, for instance, although the TDP rating is ~65W, the max power draw can climb up to 115W. That's insane. The AMD...

I only see the Micron 2450 that seems from a reputable manufacturer in that form factor. It is a budget drive. Smaller than that, there's the Kioxia BG6, which is a PCIe Gen4 drive that feature significantly higher advertized transfer rates and iops. It isn't a particularly fast drive, but all...

The new pricing for NVidia GPU have been leaked:

Happy New Year to you too David. It is sad to learn that your original project didn't succeed. I'm confident you'll find another job soon. Best of luck.
