I just installed a new Intel CPU today, both the documentation with the CPU (retail kit with HSF) and motherboard both had diagrams with warnings about common issues...

Likewise... I thought that technique was common knowledge?

I think he means mixing 512n, 512e and 4Kn drives in the same array... If it's software based RAID or something like ZFS/BTRFS, then it shouldn't matter... If it's hardware RAID, well that'll be up to the firmware of the controller to decide.

I've switched to Chromium (OSS version of Chrome) on my devices since like many others become unhappy with the direction FF was taking... Still using Thunderbird, but considering it's mostly complete, I don't see much need for further development of it. And in some respects I'm happy that...

FYI, my Epson printer had a firmware update the day after the public release of the issue...

TP-Link's response was what I would consider typical... Let's EOL a whole stack of devices, and claim no support for them since they are now EOL. (Only current models/revisions for each current model device are set to receive updates). From what I've seen this sort of behaviour will affect...

My first Opteron board (Tyan K8W) had AMD chipsets. The main problem with the AMD-8151 AGP chipset was that is was very picky about the card you used, and towards the end it was noted that you had to use cards that were native AGP and not those that used a PCIe to AGP brigde (eg most GeForce...

Updated list of vendor responses: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/list-of-firmware-and-driver-updates-for-krack-wpa2-vulnerability/

The real interesting thing to come out of this issue, is watching how vendors react to it... It certainly makes you really consider where to spend your money in future... (eg only start purchasing from those that are proactive in getting this fixed)...

That's pretty much what I gathered reading the original research paper. Let's see how long it takes for all the network gear providers (Netgear, DLink, Sagecom, Technicolor, Cisco, TP-Link, etc) to release patches for any wireless enabled devices. It'll be interesting to see when all those...

Researches have discovered flaws in some TPM implementations that allow attackers to acquire the RSA private key... Research paper: https://crocs.fi.muni.cz/public/papers/rsa_ccs17 News article: https://www.hardocp.com/news/2017/10/16/cryptographic_flaw_within_infineon_tpm_chips_announced

The site about the issue and links to research papers... https://www.krackattacks.com/ Microsoft, OpenBSD are already patched (or have patches available). MikroTik and Ubiquiti have beta firmware available. Android will have patches with 2-3 weeks (but who knows when end devices will actually...

Yes, as the brewing process doesn't break down the lactose present in the milk. Therefore depending on your level of intolerance, I would suspect you would have a similar reaction when drinking it. https://alcohol.stackexchange.com/questions/69/does-milk-stout-actually-contain-lactose

IIRC, MS has said that Windows 10 will be the last discrete version of Windows, and all future versions will simply be updates to the platform. https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-version-of-windows Considering both AMD and Intel have developers for both the kernel and...

Is Coffee Lake a rush job? I would wait for the errata to be published to find out... FYI: 7th Gen spec update + errata https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/7th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf From the doc, it would appear that some 8th gen CPUs...

They all used different sweeteners in place of sugar. Diet Coke - aspartame Coke Zero + Coke Zero Sugar - aspartame and acesulfame potassium Note: Coke Zero Sugar is just Coke Zero rebranded due to a slightly different mix in sweeteners used (which lead to a slightly different taste). Coke...

But the name clearly says "No Sugar" ? Wouldn't that imply that it contains no sugar and uses an alternative sweetening agent instead?

That would be the cancer inducing artificial sweetener they use...

If you have kids aged 8-13, then Captain Underpants is a real treat for them...

Ummm, the beautiful scenery, the clean air, the quality homebrew/spirits at the local markets, the friendly people? Anyway, cows are cute, friendly animals... (and tasty, especially with a good BBQ sauce on a wood fired flame grill).

Yep... You'll need TWC to setup a forwarding service for you. (Most ISPs in Oz offer email only services for a few dollars per month). Ask them, they might have something?

My motorbike, goes, vrmm, vrmm, vrmm to this...

Depends on your budget, skill set and product availability... For raw performance, fibre optics performs better (we are deploying 10Gb ethernet via fibre at work for all workstations), but it's more expensive to setup. (switches, NICs, etc are more expensive). 40Gb and 100Gb ethernet products...

The field is called "Stylometry". There are a few research papers on it, but most of the stuff I've read about is about author identification rather than the state of the authors mind.

Thanks. Happy Birthday to Dave as well...

That was my thought... Anyway, depending on his/her location, they may require a licensed trades person to do the work anyway*. (and they should be able to advise on what is best for them). * Here is Oz, you actually require a licensed trades ticket to do any form of data/phone cabling. (as...

Last week, we had 33C (91F) during the day (18-Aug). Not bad for a cool winters day. (our avg at this time of the year is 21-22C). http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.jsp?lt=site&lc=40854&list=ds According to the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology), we're averaging +1C above last year for the month...

Yep, last week...

I hope that all members that are either directly or indirectly affected by the recent hurricane are safe and well...

More likely they know people in the distribution chain, and can order/purchase cards before they even hit the retail merchants or end point distributors... Eg especially when miners are happy to pay RRP for cards directly from the local distributors... I don't know how it works in the US, but...

What makes it harder, that for my wife's form of EDS, there is still no genetic test available, but rather diagnosis is via completion of a checklist with points scored for each positive. With EDS being considered a rare disease, knowledge in the medical community about this condition (at least...

So what's the general mood in the US at the moment regarding the DPRK situation? Or are there other domestic issues that tend to be considered more important at the moment? At least China and Russia have (informally) indicated they will most likely remain neutral if lil'Kim starts it...

But do miners really care about per watt measurements, or only in the highest possible hash rate?

Thanks, unfortunately my wife's medical condition root cause is a genetic disorder ( EDS ), so there is little that can be done other than treating symptoms as they appear. We only found out the root cause of all her illness approx 18 mths ago, despite having symptoms for the last 35+ years (and...

I know I haven't posted much recently, but that's mainly because I don't have much to say in addition to what has already been said... Not much is going in my life at the moment... Work is picking up/getting more busy as more people are buying the companies primary product (...

Paging Dave: Lian-Li take... http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/dk-05/

IIRC, Zen cores are similar to current Intel offerings in single thread performance... http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1700x-6950x-7700k-cpu-benchmarks/

Not on an SSD. (Considering how sectors are remapped constantly based on wear levelling). Maybe that value refers to cells at write capacity? :dunno:

FWIW, we've had a stack of WD Red's at work that have been quite good in our storage servers... But the Blue's and Black's, yep, no so great failure rates. (we only had 4x Green's, never again). As for the NAND, interested to know what the write-capacity of those cells are... With each feature...

IDK, but the more I read about crypto-currencies, I'm seeing it more and more like playing the stock market... Some win, some break even, and a lot lose.

WTF? PIO = Programmed Input Output.... You know the first ATA transfer modes for IDE drives from the 80's/90's? PIO4 = 16MB/s max! Before UDMA modes! PS. please take the above post with humour and jest...
