Super RAID 4 (MSI Marketing speak) = NVMe in RAID0 https://www.msi.com/blog/super-raid-4

IIRC, Windows 10 is more space friendly than Win8.1 unfortunately... My understanding was that these netbooks where meant to use the CompactOS** option for Win10, hence could be quite serviceable with 32GB of primary storage. However it would appear that none of the manufacturers are using that...

@Tannin, have you returned the Dell for a full refund? (As you're aware, it's certainly not-fit-for-purpose, which is a legitimate reason to return under ACL). There are many complaints about these netbooks (I class these laptops as netbooks) and the lack of space for Win10 - many can't even...

Any preferences on breeds? (max size)?

That's because we had to move to the sub-basement...

It could simply be one of the sites you are visiting are using ad-servers that default to Korean content for some reason, and is leaving tracking cookies that other sites are picking up on... Have you installed an adblocker or privacy plugin for your browsers? (I'm unsure if the regular plugins...

FYI, If you think Google has something to do with it: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en-AU

@LM, Visited Korea or Korean websites recently? (could be tracking cookies think you're in Korea for some reason)? Alternatively, your public IP is registered as residing in Korea, hence web trackers think you're in Korea? (You can use https://www.whatismyip.com/ip-address-lookup/ or...

@sechs... I did a two last week (Win 7 Pro OEM) and they activated fine. (Clean installation of Windows 10 - not an upgrade). I did some further reading, VLK, Enterprise and Upgrade keys won't activate. (VLK/Enterprise keys should be on software assurance anyway, so a non-issue). For OEM keys...

IIRC, OEM and retail yes. VLK maybe...

Can't comment on LinkedIn (not a user), and Skype I only use in a limited fashion (kids, wife and I video chat with my parents about once a fortnight via Skype, since they live 1.5K kms away). Skype has been good so far, but the last UI update left us all a little confused... But overall Skype...

So, the current popular SCM's for FOSS projects are GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket... Sourceforge (SF.net) once was king, but due to mismanagement by prior owners caused a massive loss of mindshare (and rightly so)... SF.net (by extension slashdot.org) got new owners in 2016, which cleaned up...

I took SF to mean here, Storage Forum.

Yep... but many see forums more as a proto-social media entity as they don't offer the full social media experience... Forums themselves are social by nature...

I'm similar to LM... very few social media sites... (only G+ with an empty landing page - only created at the time when Google made it mandatory to create a G+ account to properly configure you google account settings). no Facebook, no VKontakte, no LinkedIn, no MySpace, no Twitter, no...

Short version: Don't. They're an ex- for a reason. Long version: Don't get back together. In some circumstances it can work, but in most it doesn't work long term... You just need to ask yourself: why did you split? what has changed since then? Do I know who I am and what I want/need from a...

Let's see, The Godfather was 1972, The Godfather Part II was 1974. Based on the too new comment, would indicate less than 10 years since they came out, so in film school approx 1978-83... That's 35-40 yrs ago. Based on typical tertiary study ages (17 - 21), would indicate that you are between...

Which film school?

I would guess, at the time it was the only (easily available) card that could do 4K @ 60Hz ... These days, pretty much any card that supports HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.4 will do 4K@60Hz. (eg nVidia 1050GTX Ti - RRP ~US$199 ). Glad you had a safe trip...

Based on my experience, I would assume the role is being a trainee, being trained to be a observer cleared for field operations... (Observing what, will be covered in the course material).

https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Displays/Samsung-C49HG90-49-Ultrawide-FreeSync-2-Monitor-Review-How-Wide-too-Wide Samsung C49HG90 49-in 32:9 aspect monitor... (res = 3840x1080).

While I doubt it, could the use of the pagefile, system logging, read caching and .net optimisation processes account for the difference? The other possibility, CrystalDiskInfo has the field reversed? (Or Samsung/smart is reporting bad/wrong information).

My wife and I have just gone through choosing new handsets (replacing our current Sony Z3C's), so this thread was of some interest. (We both don't see the point in spending $$$ on a device). The only hard requirements, are that the handset is hearing aid compatible (my wife now wears hearing...

Tip: If you need to reinstall Office 2016 from DVD, ensure all updates are applied first, before attempt to connect Outlook to Office365 or other hosted exchange solution... MS Outlook gives really, really cryptic error messages in the simple case that the Outlook instance doesn't have the...

Has there been improvements with the underlying NAND since the earlier one was released? Otherwise this looks like just an improvement with the NAND controller itself...

Isn't it funny when some new law or regulation comes in (that can reduce a citizen expenditure when dealing with the government), that 3rd party corporations all claim that it'll reduce the economy in some fashion, or it's too hard for citizens to do it themselves? Australia brought in formless...

IIRC Fastmail was used by a lot of dodgy spam related entities as a mail forwarder, so not surprised about that one... I've now upgraded my outlook.com account to be the spam collector email account...

Well lets consider this... The rich and powerful have accountants to mange their finances, whom typically would be senior staff (or very close network to senior staff) of the large accounting/tax handling firms... Gotta keep your mates (who hide $$$$$$$ for you from the IRS) in jobs... So I...

What sort of display? Some only use water and ultra-fine microfibre, other's doesn't really matter... (If it's a PC monitor, then the manual should have recommended cleaning instructions).

mailcity.com (lycos.com) have announced that they are discontinuing their free email accounts... So there goes an email account that I've had for the last 20+yrs... Spent most of today logging into various online accounts to update email details... (mainly kept the mailcity.com account as a...

Here is the Intel tested list... This should give a very high degree of confidence that'll just work... DDR4-2400: https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/platform-memory/ddr4-sodimm-non-ecc-tested-at-2400mts-validation-results.html Main list for others...

Does Samsung have a certified RAM list for your laptop? Typically for unknown or non-publised lists, I'll stick with Kingston Intel-Certified RAM, or visit: https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/desktop-notebook/system-specific or http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/advisor to find out...

For most forensic imaging software, no. Disk/Device images are stored in a container image format (typically EWF/E01 or AFF4), which contain additional metadata like case information, hashes (MD5/SHA1 or SHA512) of all the data, and these images are compressed as well (to save space), etc...

@LM, who are you replying to?

For most desktop and workstations users and their workloads, probably not... At work, the device acquisition (for digital forensics) software we are building (and associated hardware platform), it is noticeable when acquiring a single NVMe device to a spanned set of NVMe target devices... and I...

But what is the interconnect between the the CPU and the PCH? It may mean those 24 PICe lanes on the PCH may have to share ~4.0GBps to the CPU.... (assuming the link is a DMI3.0 based interconnect).

I was under the impression that IPC for Zen based cores was equivalent to Haswell on the Intel side of things? And from what I've read there isn't a lot of difference between Haswell and current Intel cores... https://www.sweclockers.com/test/24701-intel-core-i9-7980xe/19#content Basically...

At work having lunch...

I'm just trying to work out the target market for the i9? Most people who need the cores (eg CAD, etc) will also want ECC RAM (which the i9 lacks support for) hence would be looking at Xeon's and most likely nVidia Quadros or AMD Raedon Pro? Additionally, the X299 chipset only supports 24 PCIe...

Just like to wish everyone a Happy Easter... (and for of the Orthodox Christian faiths, Happy Easter for next week).

Deadpool was a decent MCU movie, and the trailer for Deadpool 2 is now out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D86RtevtfrA

Since these are targeted at enterprise applications I would be a little surprised if they are using SMR and not CMR. (The lack of some sort of NAND based cache adds some weight to this)... Compare the datasheet for Exos 5E8 which clearly indicates SMR, but the datasheet for the Exos 7E8...

Interesting video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcvNWPPNWSE Disclaimer: do not try this at home (unless you have a clean room).

From what I've read/seen most smart watches last 3-5 days depending on use between charge... compared to most watches where 3-5 years is considered a normal battery life... 12mths ago I used to see a lot of them, but more recently they seem to be very rare... Also one has to to consider the...

I'm still wearing an old Citizen Promaster 2502 as my daily watch. The band was replaced early with a NATO strap, but otherwise hasn't had any issues since owning it. (I've always preferred the Promasters over the G-Shocks). All my other "luxury" watches have died over the last few years, and...
