Is it a Lenovo TD350 or a rackmount model? Since you include a 32GB flash SD card, I assume it will be an ESXi server and not an Hyper-V server.

Judging by the picture, if accurate of course, it is indeed a 2.5" drive. It is not, however, the most interesting deal IMO for a 2TB SSD. This is.

Here's the link to the source. At 175W for 85-90% of the performance of the Radeon R9 Fury X and with such a small form factor, this card will be interesting if it indeed launch by the middle of next week. Depending on the price, of course.

The MTBF rating is slightly lower than Seagate's Enterprise NAS drive equivalent (1 million vs 1.2 million hours) and the advertised streaming transfer rate drops quickly on the lower-sized models. I would consider the 6TB model for one of our NAS at the office, but for the other sizes, I would...

There's a chance that DX12 games will level the field between AMD and NVidia, perhaps even let AMD be the better value in GPU for the time being : http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/DX12-GPU-and-CPU-Performance-Tested-Ashes-Singularity-Benchmark

I wouldn't do that if I were you. It will negatively affect the value of your vehicle as it won't have genuine body parts. Plus, while the Element didn't change much over its existence, the 2003 panels might not fit exactly on the 2011 model. A mm here and there will affect the tightness of...

I could start up to three servers during the week-ends, but with the end of the Big Units, it's not very rewarding. I could probably reach between 200K and 300K ppd for 2 days per week, no more. What pays now is GPU power and we don't have that at the office. 2015 will be a slow year for...

Surface Pro 3 with twice the RAM, more ports and a slightly larger screen. I agree with Merc that it's probably quite nice. However, at 2500$ for the 16GB RAM model, I'm not sure it's such a good deal. IIRC, the Surface Pro 3 with similar specifications, but half the RAM, cost 2000$. 500$...

I'm sure both Mercutio and Verizon are glad about this. ;)

I don't know for sure, but my theory is that they miscalculated the impact of their new updates distribution system combined with pushing down users' throats the Windows 10 installation files.

In case anyone wonders why the internet is so slow today, let me remind you that it's Patch Tuesday so that Microsoft and Windows 10 computers with their default WU distribution settings are flooding the Net with prehemptive Windows 10 installations files and updates. Thank you so much...

I think we've found Bozo's field of expertise.

Having coped with a shitty car for at least five years, I can tell you that I agree with that. Or you could rent a new car. The payments are lesser and you won't bust the allowed mileage. Driving a miserable vehicle is a seed for having a miserable life. But, if the money is not there, then...

It's unbelievable that a full 1% of people taking this test have even crazier systems than you have.

That's from an RDP session from a server at the office. We have a 50Mbps symmetrical link for all our five offices (~300 employees). People don't complain. At home, I have a business 12Mbps symmetrical link. 65$/month, unlimited downloads. We are better here than third world countries (or...

First, I'm glad you're ok. Second, the Mazda CX-5 is constantly first in comparatives from most cars publications and should fill all your criteria. With the smaller engine, it's also quite fuel-efficient. It's higher than a car. It's cheaper than a Subaru Outback and has better road...

Then you would probably cry if you were shopping for rackmount or blade servers.

Regarding Skype, why can't I edit my own Skype information? I don't see the option in my profile. The Skype contact listed in my profile is long gone.

Follow up : apparently, the edit time is now longer than 5 minutes like it was before. I've been able to edit my post in Firefox and made it more or less ok by my poor standards.

I've installed 5.1 on my Moto G about two weeks ago, but since I don't nearly use my phone as extensively as you guys, I don't have much to report other than the speed has not been an issue since, compared to Kit Kat, despite what many others have warned me against Lolipoop.

Epic is a nice browser, but it really sucks when I try to edit a post in the forum due to the lack of cookie-saving. Hence my botched post above.

Not much news here. The next event I'll attend to is the "Festibière de Québec". It is more a local interest than something that might be worth sharing here. It's probably also why the site's content is mainly written in French, while the English part is mostly an afterthought. They really...

I've played the first one of the series, in 1981. It was big for that time, but I wasn't very good at gaming and I've never finished it.

I won't get too excited about it until I can a product based on this tech. The miracle storage tech has been announced too often in the past.

An interesting article regarding database performance issues on SSDs: http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-case-against-ssds/ Something to consider in a server environment.

Hey, I'm quite far in my "middle years" and I've started to integrate crossfit exercices to my training just three weeks ago. If I can motivate myself to keep beating up my old and worn body, so can you. BTW, crossfit is by far the hardest training I've done in my life. I don't think it's...

Immigrants flooding is mostly a problem in the southern states. I very much doubt it is that much of a problem in a northern state like New York. Also, the system doesn't "naturally" fix itself. The rich class generally tries to keep the money up and since they are the most influencial...

Weight gain can be a physical response to stress just like weight loss. Merc could probably write a book about it (in fact, combining all of his Pub&Brewery posts from 8-to-12 years ago would make quite a volume). Gaining 25lbs without doing some intense physical exercice like heavy...

I've just read on the news that Nigel Travis, Dunkin Donuts' CEO, said that a minimum wage of 15$/h would be outrageous. In my view, his comment carries a lot of weight, especially since he earns 10.2 millions per year. I could understand if a small business owner, who has a hard time breaking...

Yeah, I've noticed that I've screwed up my plural on the word solution. I originally wanted to remove the plural on the first one, but instead did it on the second. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late to edit the post.

BTW, why isn't this thread in the "Computers" forum?

You can go up to a GeForce GTX 970 with 4GB of RAM and fit within the same size and the same ballpark regarding the power consumption. Maybe you'd need to drop to a GeForce GTX 960 if the power supply isn't more than 450W, but even then, it would probably be fine if the rest of the system isn't...

There are so many ways to do this. There may not be A best solutions, but many good solution. It depends on the size of your organisation, the skills of your technical staff (what they are familiar with, mostly), the network connections at your sites (since you mentionned cloud services, I...

Perhaps not for me personally, but for company servers, the 1.92TB model is very interesting.

News source Here's the one I'm very interested in : 1.92TB SM863. Only 1260U$ for a 2TB solid-state drive with a rated endurance of more than 12TBW

So "WinTel" laptops will pretty much become just as locked as Apple's aberrations.

It records what goes on your screen, so no.

Windows 10 has a video recording app. I've tried it, it works. I'm worried though that someone will (or probably already has) find a way to activate it without user consent and view the user activity remotely.

BTW, that issue has dissapeared from the RTM release.

Unfortunately, I was a bit optimistic about the launch date of the Surface Pro 4. It looks like it will only be introduced in October. Source.

More precisions about the Windows Update status in Windows 10.

According to the EULA, yes. However, there is an option to defer updates. This is what µsoft has to say about it : And that's it. I don't know if the Windows Server version will have GPO options to disable updates.

I've spent 15 minutes reading the EULA once the installation was completed. Microsoft now makes it mandatory to accept Windows updates. I can see problems with this and many softwares we use at work which are only certified to work with certain very specific updates (mainly automation...

I'm installing the RTM (build 10240) on my main computer at the moment. I hope it won't screw up the few settings and program configurations (like the FAH client) I did during the time I've used the build 10162. I'll keep you informed.

Actually, it's more a "simple" family business.

Even 4K is overkill IMO for a smart phone. 11K isn't just overkill, it's downright ridiculous. Apparently, Samsung believes it makes too much money and chose to waste some on useless R&D projects.

I've discovered Frog Leap Studios this evening. Now I can tell my nieces that for most of the pop songs they listen to, there's a version their uncle likes.

Once I've installed Intel's inf driver v.9.3, dating back 2013, the data drive appeared. Meanwhile, the Watchguard VPN connection doesn't show in the VPN connection manager, despite being active and working. Killing the process in task manager remains the only way to close it, except of...

Also, I access my work's network via a VPN connection (Watchguard SSL client). It connects fine, but unlike every previous versions of Windows, the VPN connection logo doesn't show on the right side of the task bar. So I have no way to disconnect, except by killing the process in the task...

I've installed Windows Insider Preview, build 10162 earlier today on a secondary disk. I did unplug my main OS HDD and my data drive prior to doing the installation. Once finished, I stopped the system, replugged the data drive and restarted the system. I've verified that the BIOS sees the...
