No, that is why they wanted to take all your information.

Even if you aren't going to finance, they'll be able to stalk you after you don't buy a car.

I'd be tempted to specify the maximum that it can scale to, whether that be in TB, volumes, number of machines in a cluster, GB/s throughput, IO/s, etc.

I hadn't. Thanks for the tip.

Indeed. Downloaded from your link and ran it. The software spelled out the changes it was going to make and I verified the changes were made after hitting the automatic button.

This went well on 10. My main interest is reducing bandwidth consumption, some of my clients are on slow connections.

Meh. They've been around for a long time; and their products are very well regarded.

No idea. Their website is frustratingly out of date for what seems to be a cool company that ships interesting products. Perhaps they are used to dealing directly with customers for their average price point.

Brabus looks to be developing an all-electric drivetrain for the Mercedes E-Class wagon rated at 430HP and 2300+LbFt of torque? Yes, please.

I have some S3300 units and they're fine for my needs. I haven't done any management, so can't speak to that part.

Lately I've been using the Bose ANR IEMs (200 something). Mainly because I've been working at an industrial site and the noise reduction was as important as the audio.

If this is a thing that you do occasionally, it might be worthwhile to look at paying for gotosupport.com. It is by Citrix and uses the same engine as GoToMyPC. You can send a link and then control their PC with very little work on their end. You can also set up a bunch of computers for...

As good? Probably the $55k. Within 1% could probably be had for $5k. Within 3% for $500.

The question is, one or two orders of magnitude too pricey?

These numbers would have been very impressive a while ago. Now? Secondary drive.

That software partially works for Samsung 951 M.2 drives, informational only it looks like.

R5 actually looks like a really good case for my water-cooled "Home1" machine. Radiator is external, drives are M.2, GPUs are in the first and second slot, no optical drives. All I need is room for the motherboard, slightly long PSU, and room at the top of the back of the chassis for me to drill...

Yup. No news. "Vault vulnerable while door is open and intruder in room".

Still working on it, having some image timing issues, image numbering issues, stability issues, just a mess. Of course, the time it takes to get through the workflow is also dampening my enthusiasm and slowing the learning curve. Here's one, there are more on my YouTube channel...

I suspect he meant alternatives in the 2TB capacity.

I didn't know that was news? I'd always assumed that all VAG vehicles would be affected?

Everything is playing well with my 3840x2160, though earlier betas of Prison Architect gave the humorous error message "unreasonable resolution". My biggest complaint is that I'm limited to 60fps. Not sure if there are any better video protocols coming up that would allow 100Hz+ refresh.

I've got a few samples, looking forward to 4k BluRay for a good source of 4k content.

A couple years ago I upgraded the electrical service at the house to 200A. 200A @ 240V is (IIRC) 48kW. Gas is cheaper around here than electricity for heating things (house, water, clothes), but I'm converting to electric as I plan to go solar. Once I have all the appliances electric I'll be...

Where are you finding good 4k video?

Then I am legitimately wasting energy. Not that direct resistance heating (computer) isn't 5-10x less efficient than my heat pump anyway...

950W? Something like that.

Thanks! No idea how long it will last, the house is pretty darn warm at this point (super-insulated, the whole house is 30F warmer than ambient just from F@H).

I understood that it was called the joy-nipple. A much better name, IMHO.

Neat. Liquid nitrogen is actually easier to get around here. That would be one way to jump-start the cooling process...

Absolutely. My kid (2.5yrs) is pretty handy with a smart phone. By 7 you should be able to master it easy. Lack of pockets might be an issue, though.

The new ThinkPad touchpad is clearly inferior to the old one; having the entire surface move is disconcerting and not having dedicated buttons adds uncertainty. I use a mouse much more than I used to.

Running a peltier on the CPU or GPUs has also interested me, but that is certainly a more tricky install. I have plenty of capacity in my water loop, so adding one would be simple. Just not sure how exactly to size it and seal around it (to prevent condensation). At one point I played with the...

Exactly that for exactly that reason. Thanks. JTR, I remembered you had done the project. Might be fun, but I just don't have the time for anything at the moment. Just finished work for the night and I'll be starting again at 2:30AM. Been working a bunch of 14-18 hour days lately plus the kid.

Inflation and variations in cost of living and property values can make some numbers seem funny to some people. That is why you go back to the numbers for perspective. ;)

I've always been interested in Peltier coolers, but never played with them. Tempted to get this monster and build a mini-fridge for the office. Putting an AIO water cooler on the hot side and a tower cooler (with fan) on the cold side would do it I suppose. Temperature control would be the...

I'd forgotten that HP bought Compaq. HP Proliant still sounds wrong to me.

The current plan is to mount a radiator adjacent to the heatpump enclosure for the water heater and pipe that to a heat exchanger in the wall next to my desk. That way I can have a small, easy to manage water loop with the components and a larger loop requiring less maintenance.

I have and use Veeam on ESXi as well. I can agree with Merc's sentiments. From arrays of SSDs with 800MB/s+ transfer rates, over 10GbE, to arrays of HDDs with 500MB/s+ I'm seeing 30MB/s and it is claiming the bottleneck is the source. I do have the basic licensed product, and will be upgrading...

The bulbs I put into my house were ~$50/ea. IIRC there are 50-ish in the house. The $2500 spent on bulbs is probably about the same as I spent on the Insteon control system I put in while I was re-wiring the house. As a percentage of the value of the house (1.3%?) it is insignificant to the...

Fun fact: My new "Home 1" rig is capable of 1.3M PPD. In doing so it becomes the most expensive space heater of all time. Hoping to be able to couple it directly to our new water heater and get some of that back...

Just get Hue bulbs controlled by your smartphone (and get a smartphone) and abandon your wall switches altogether.

Nice work. Asking for and being denied resources is always a great way to cover your ass. Moving to virtual is awesome, but AD can make restorations more of a PITA than they should be.

I'm afraid I can't be of much use, I disavowed myself of managing any e-mail system about 7 years ago. That said, MS per-incident support cost is low enough ($500?) that tasks that are rare and high-risk (this counts) are worth calling them in advance and having them do it.

Please let me be smart enough to not try to use the built-in waterblocks on a motherboard again. ASUS or Gigabyte, their quality is clearly not good enough and led me to cleaning Titan X cards with alcohol. That said, I suspect the radiator is large enough 3x3 120mm.

This page features a RAID card that has room for 4x M.2 SSDs.

DJI is the big dog in this market, but the 3DR Solo is tempting as well. All the components I have for my larger fixed-wing drones are from 3D Robotics, and I was really impressed with the build quality and software interface. For me to consider one of these it needs to have very good "hands...

Looks cool. All of that footage was shot within 30 miles of my house; I wonder where they are based? They seem to want ~$1k for that, for a little more money I feel there are better units out there.

All of these dim well with normal dimmers: Link: http://amzn.com/B00WQFNCAW Link: http://amzn.com/B00AH2OXFE Link: http://amzn.com/B0094BDAYE Link: http://amzn.com/B006MNHZIO

Yup. I have the no-charge option of them doing a 24-hour burn-in. No charge, but it delays shipping by a day (obvs)
