Local documentation is a bit like driver disks. Handy to have, but, in most cases, completely outdated and useless.

I've never seen an optical network terminal installed inside. Although it's more difficult to place than a regular NID, since the ONT needs power, Verizon prefers to put their equipment where they can easily get to it. Everyone I've talked to with the service had a triple play. Their boxes...

Isn't the government only targeting VPN services? If the client ran their own VPN, I suspect that everything would be fine. Certainly worth researching.

I think that you mean IPC, and, no, it's not as good as Coffee Lake. My feeling is that most people wouldn't notice the difference. On the other hand, you might notice 60 PCIe lanes from the processor, and the money still in your pocket.

Threadripper 1900x. "Just" eight cores/16 threads, but boatloads of PCIe lanes.

Fools with money.

The programs only have to be able to use any of those cores. You could run 36 single-threaded programs, and each could run on its own virtual processor core. This is not to mention the number of programs that can spawn multiple threads that run in parallel.

Before the invention of the wrist, the pocket watch served for hundreds of years. No one complained then about wrestling....

I stopped wearing a watch, except when traveling across time zones, as I keep a clock in my pocket. Since I'm definitely going to keep the clock in my pocket (it happens to also do telephone calls), I generally don't see a need for another personal device to tell time.

Evidence Suggests Report on AMD Security Was Financially Motivated https://youtu.be/ZZ7H1WTqaeo tl;dr: Trumped-up vulnerabilities in AMD chips are being pushed by firm which is likely shorting its stock.

They're in Hong Kong, so it shouldn't be too surprising.

Both of these website seem a little sketch, but, at least, Clocker has experience with NoKeys. Did you pay with a PayPal balance or with a credit card?

Definitely. It's not worth $99 a shot. There used to be legit ways to buy lots of licensed keys for Microsoft products, but I cannot find any now.

Where are folks getting their keys for Windows 10 these days? I'm looking to upgrade all of my laptops with OEM Home versions to Pro, as well as cover a number of new machines. Hoping that it's not expensive. It seems like there are plenty of shady sellers out there are good, legit, reliable...

It's the interface. Also, such cards (as well as readers) should theoretically be backwards compatible to older SD standards. I don't have an XQD slot in any device I own, but I have countless SD ones.

I feel like you think that these two things go together, whereas they don't.

Maybe the iPhone could integrate AAA batteries as an alternate form factor.

It'll be a long while, but they don't seem to be building a future as a storage company.

Western Digital Demos SD Card with PCIe x1 Interface, 880 MB/s Read Speed It's experimental, but a move in the right direction.

I think that you've hit on the issue....

WD owns Sandisk. What does Seagate have?

Barons: Western Digital vs. Seagate: Only One Is a Buy tl;dr: Seagate is well-established in the enterprise market, but Western Digital is now ready for the future with SSDs

Are we talking about the musical group or the city in Wisconsin?

You certainly aren't a rocket scientist.

I'm pretty sure that you don't know how rocket staging works....

I guess it is, then. The third burn was planned to run the fuel out. They had a lot to spare.

It's a network interface device (NID). Looks like it does QOS, but there's a lot of mention of cell services. https://accedian.com/blog/library/te-network-interface-device/ I'm curious as to why such a thing was plugged into your network. It seems meant to eliminate the need for a router...

They got more performance out of the second stage than expected. That's a good thing.

Ryzen supports ECC, but it's up to the motherboard manufacturers to qualify it. I've seen a number of the high-end boards say that they support ECC memory, but it's obviously not a popular choice.

Didn't AMD trim it's pricing? And announce that it is replacing R3 with APUs based on Zen+? And doesn't AMD still have a cheaper total system price?

I believe that they call that the Model S....

But two 4x NVME PCIe boards would solve that.

Not everyone has or is comfortable with M.2. And why settle for 95% when you can pay more for 100%?

When I select "a folder on your harddrive or NAS," there's already a list of SMB shares there. Granted, all of them are both mapped to drive letters and already set-up for back-up to Google Drive. So, Arq already "knows" about them. The hardware and whatever software is sufficient to run it...

I've yet to have any problems backing up to my NAS. Were you using the mapped drives or the UNCs in Arq? I guess my theory is that backup should be simple and safe. Experimenting is fine, but not with data that one might need. As local storage, I don't see what Minio brings to the table that...

Why go this route rather than just SFTP or even a network share? What advantage does running a Minio VM bring over just using a straight-up file server?

I think that it's clear that Crashplan is garbage all around. Even after dumping so many customers, they're too big for their britches. I'm waiting for the class action suit.

Who said anything about streaming? I store my digital movies on my Plex server. Do you guys still buy CDs, too? It's the same issues versus streaming music.

I know that you guys are old, but... I get my movies online. No need for fiddly disks. I had a Blu-ray drive in my computer, but it's never even had a Blu-ray disc in it. Actually just bought my first Blu-ray this week. I took the drive out of my desktop for better airflow. I have a laptop...

That would make you a special case ;)

HTPCs don't really have anything to do with it. Few people build machines with 5.25" devices and, when they're not spinning disks, 3.5" drives can be stuck in a lot of places -- meaning you don't need a giant cage to hold drives. If there's nothing to stick in that space, why have it?

NVMe is a host controller interface specification, like AHCI. It can be used on PCIe, SATA Express, U.2, and M.2 devices.

There was something about dual-ported SAS....

I feel like platter counts already are stupidly large. Putting the two actuators is the same place is what makes this economically feasible. Having two completely independent ones would really be two drives sharing a common spindle.

Internal RAID 0 lives! http://www.tomshardware.com/news/hdd-multi-actuator-heads-seagate,36132.html

And you really struck my as the "hobby" miner type. We know that you have a number of nice cards at your disposal. And they make great heaters in the winter. 8)

Irrelevant of whether it makes sense, the pop in cryptocurrency prices is again getting a lot of people to look into mining. Prices were just starting to settle down, and there were some reasonable deals in the last month....

Maybe they don't want an 1170 card....

This is clearly a compute card. It's just a cut down version of the enterprise compute card, with the Tensor cores still included. It'll work with the Geforce drivers, but it doesn't sound like they'll do any gaming optimization. I'm not sure that we'll see a real consumer version of Volta...

That sounds right to me. The more commoditized the market, the greater the effect this will have on prices.
