Thanks for the concern. I'm not in an affected area. I live ~78m above the water line, so even if Greenland's icecap completly melts all of a sudden, I think I'm ok.

I've ordered a few cable managers from the Fiberstore. They are a fraction (about ¼) of the price of Startech and Panduit models. I should receive them late next week or the one after. I hope they won't be too cheaply made, but my expectations are low, given the price. The few transceivers...

Yes. NVidia supports its Quadro models for several years. I wouldn't be surprised if they still produce drivers for the P1000 in 8 years.

The GeForce 1030 that should be available mid-May for less than 80U$ should do what you want. If you prefer a Quadro, then the Quadro P400, P600 or P1000 all have the features you want. The GeForce 1030 will only consumes 30W, while the P400, P600 and P1000 consume 30W, 40W and 47W.

Still, your brain is abnormal enough to warrant a scan. This isn't common.

It's quite soft and can be somewhat warm on the top after running for a few hours.

LibreOffice 5.3.1 64-bit.

Sorry, they seem to have remove the link. Go for version 5.2.6 instead.

Also, you'll probably have to wait until 2019 for the next big thing in CPU architecture. For the remaining of the year and all of 2018, there will only be refinements of what currently exits for consumer CPU models. For servers, that's a completly different story with Skylake-EP and Naples.

You'll forget about OpenOffice and opt for LibreOffice. However, you'll skip version 5.3.2 as it is slow as shit. Version 5.3.1 in 64 bit currently is the version of choice.

I placed an order on the Fiberstore Thursday and paid ~50U$ in shipping charges. Today I read that since Friday, shipping from the Fiberstore is free for North America. Huhn!

Apparently, there's a platform level workaround that fixes the errata in the C2000 chips. Synology has implemented it in products shipping after February 2017 (read note 1). Still, I'd rather opt for a unit not using this processor.

Title of your biography.

Powered by an Intel C2538 processor affected by the clock bug. Not interested in a system that will predicably fail in 3 years. No thanks.

Is it a done move? Because the RX 580 will launch in 4 days. It will be 10-15% faster than an RX 480, which is pretty much equal to the GTX 1060 with recent drivers' versions. However, if you had a deal on the GTX 1060, then it might be a whole different story, value wise.

Your Windows 10 Enterprise, is it an academic version?

Last time I've watched a complete NHL game was Game 7 of the series between the Canadiens de Montréal and I don't remember the other team. It was with business customers (and also friends) during the Spring of 2014. Good memories, but I don't follow hockey much. There are worse things in life...

There are very few things in life I enjoy more than being drunk from a good beer and listening to comfortably numb from Pink Floyd. Of course, I'm PUI.

Nope. I'm not often sent in the field. So far, I've only been in urban areas and since my presence is essential to the inner workings of the companies, I don't think I'll have to travel far in the foreseable future. The farthest I'll have to go will be Toronto, eventually.

I know it's confusing. You see, it's a revolutionnary concept. We buy stuff that we resell for a profit. Unheard of, I know. I think we should brand and patent it. We should also patent the wheel, because, you guessed it, it was us too.

Middle man so both. More so than the staring and non-verbal communication, I've studied the technical documentation of everything that was involved in the architecture to the point that I was able to argue and win my points against people view as experts in their respective fields. I shove...

Thanks.

None. It is part of my IT manager job. Another achievement I can put on my C.V. to get a raise when I move to another job.

My oldest e-mail address is with them (fastmail).

I've closed a contract worth ~270,000U$ in total today. I've been working on it for the past month. I'm proud, but exhausted.

IMO, you should use DisplayPort. It's the most common interface for multi-monitor setups.

To give the Heisman Coming from a non-english-speaking member...

You don't seem to be a psychopath.

Always chose to neglect the job at UPS over your study. Your diploma will allow you to access a job better than UPS. UPS will only give ~20$/h for the rest of your life. We all earn more than that here. Some by a lot.

BTW, I'm PUI (St-Patrick oblige). I'm ready for a drunken brawl if anyone feels like it. Or a deep phylosophical discussion. Your choice.

The highest I've worked was on a 12th floor. I don't like heights and my desk was set against the window. Didn't like it too much. Now my desk is on the second floor, center of the building, so no windows. However, I work pretty much wherever I want to. Since we have 5 offices, I can even...

I'm on a Slayer mood these days. Since their best pieces date back to the mid-eighties, I'm pretty much like what an Elvis fan was back in the eighties. I listen to stuff from three decades ago. Not that being an as-been is a new thing in my life...

I read on a French site that AMD might launch a non-server 16-core/32-thread model. That would be awesome. They would also introduce a new motherboard chipset: X399. No price were indicated.

Didn't notice before, but S2D requires Datacenter edition, which drives the price up tremendously with M$ new pricing scheme. S2D therefore is much less appealing than what I thought. Also, there's no dedup when using ReFS within the VM. No data locality on the nodes either, hence the strong...

I'm so proud to be the spark behind such a vivid thread. Anyone using VMWare's VSAN then?

Especially in Ddrueding's house since his wife is Russian.

What's the point of living together then? Cost sharing on housing?

You're a tennis photographer? And it's -14°C here, btw.

Another success story to add to your link creation history. At least we know no one else post under your credentials.

Storage Space Direct, a much improved version of Storage Space compared to the version in Windows Server 2012. It's Microsoft version of Software Defined Storage. I'm considering it as an alternative to a SAN for our next architecture. It would allow us to have an all flash storage pool and...

So what happened to your company is pretty much the history of the U$ Republican party over the past fifty years. To Stereodude: endure until you are debt-free and have some spare cash on the side to last several months. After that, if your base expenses are low, you're basicly a free man...

I did not realize that it's already been 4 years since we sent you the parts for that system. I thought it was two years ago. Time flies. I still haven't seen any F@H benchmark for Ryzen. It isn't good for Monero mining. Overall, I think it's a better value than what Intel offers for...

Happy retirement. Piled enough on the side to last the few years left?

Hard to tell if AMD's Vega will be able to match this or not. My guess is that Vega will fall in between the 1080 and 1080Ti, but with an MSRP targetting the 1080 directly. That's probably why NVidia bumped the supported RAM frequency for the partners' 1080 designs.

In a strange coincidence, I've been contacted today for an IT architect job offer. Starts at 15K$ annually above what I currently earn. Doesn't mean I'll have it, but I'm interested enough to return the call.

I think that if I change my title to manager, people from outside the company will get the impression that I don't know what I'm talking about when we get into the technical stuff. Those I mange might also stop listening to what I say.

That's pretty much his job. He's like the thermal interface between my hot temper and the management heatsink. But not the thermal tape type, more like a very gooey, flabby thermal paste that just can't stick together. He also does a little bit of programming for the local Sharepoint and...

I receive the eval papers filled by the employees and I coach the director on what to tell them. We had to hire a new L1 tech support last Fall. The HR employee asked me why the director had to be there since he doesn't really know how to behave during an interview. To prove her point, during...

Stop searching Google for naked grannies.

The director is fine. I didn't make him bleed.
