Possible test on a small population to track infection and fatality rates, and (wrongly) assumed they could keep it contained... (Not that I personally prescribe that is what happened). Note, this wouldn't be the first time a government or one of its agencies have tested on local populations...

Have you tried some canned air to blow it away from the screen? (also known as an Air Duster). (https://www.amazon.com.au/b?ie=UTF8&node=4915802051) (Assuming there is an air vent that may have some direct air flow to the effected area).

Not surprised I'm a bit late, but when most of your gaming is generally Mario Kart 8 or Smash Bros with the kids, you don't get too much time to play many FPS games... Will check those ones out.

Due to some added extra time to my day (working from home now), I've played a bit of Brutal Doom... Certainly makes Doom fun... Brutal Doom: https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom GZDoom: https://zdoom.org/downloads Windows users are recommended to use ZDL to assist in mod management...

Likewise.

It seems the Navy Secretary who fired the Captain has resigned (more likely forced to quit) over the handling of the incident. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/04/acting-navy-secretary-resigns-after-ousting-captain-calling-him-stupid/

Not surprising naval ships are being hit hard: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/us/politics/coronavirus-aircraft-carrier-theodore-roosevelt.html But note: I didn't see it mentioned in the above NYTime article, is that the Captain of the Carrier was relieved from command...

Sorry, NBC = Nuclear Biological Chemical. Typically used to denote an operating state in which 1 or more of the elements are present on the battlefield or in the local environment. Some of the chemical weapons developed are pretty scary, especially what's called "blood agents". (In short Blood...

This made me laugh...

Saw this posted on the Stargate SG-1 subreddit... (It's from an episode where the International community is advised on the existence of the Stargate program).

Unfortunately, all sides of politics are just as bad as each other... Gone are the days of listening to experts in the field of question and coming to bipartisan agreement, to doing the opposite of the other party is doing just to say they are different or simply for point scoring. And this is...

As Australia is implementing lock-down procedures, hundreds of thousands have been left without jobs in the space of less than a week... So much so, that the Centrelink website (Centrelink = Social Services) where people can register online for unemployment benefits went offline due to load...

Vcore is used by the memory controller in the CPU, does it not?

Certainly sounds like a bad memory controller on the CPU, or a bad motherboard (power delivery or DIMM related). Glad to see the Vcore adjustment appears to be working.

I had a flu about 3 weeks ago, and still have a dry cough from it... The looks on people faces when I cough, sometimes is surprising... (The last few flu's I've had, whilst over the initial virus in under a week, tend to have a dry cough for 4-5 weeks following)... Note: As some of you are...

Maybe it's a mentality of "it won't happen to me"... Or they don't think of or care about the consequences of their actions (something many young people seem to go through at some point in their lives).

Granted, if you're only paying $3K pa, then yes, it's going to take 15+yrs to pay off... And probably cripple some... (eg pretty hard to get a home loan, if you owe the government $40K+, but then again if you can't afford to repay your HECS debt, should you be getting a home loan in the first...

Re: Tertiary Education and loans. To give a different perspective, in Australia loans for Tertiary Education is managed by the Taxation department, (repayments are managed as part of your annual tax), were payments are deducted as part of your paycheck based on income over the year (if you so...

Your DIMMs are dual rank: https://www.pic-upload.de/view-33001480/F4-3200C16D-32GVK.jpg.html And if you look at ASRock's page for a similar board: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Taichi/#Specification Under DIMMs, 4x Dual Rank DIMMs is limited to DDR4-2666... (I don't know why Gigabyte...

Out of interest, I can't see to find any numbers from DPRK (North Korea)?

Sucky, but out interest have you confirmed your DIMM Rank setup? I've found that some boards will dictate that for all DIMMs to be populated, that only SR (single rank) DIMMs should be used? (Just double check the DIMMs, their rank and what the motherboard says is supported for your CPU). It's...

I can understand the spec being used in something an Inwin Chopin style case, where you only have the CPU, motherboard, some RAM and an M.2 device attached, but for general DIY builds, it may gain the same amount of traction as the BTX motherboard spec... In some scenarios, it makes a lot of...

In short, the new spec offers only 12V, and if 3.3V or 5V rails are needed, the motherboard is to supply them. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3518831/how-intels-changing-the-future-of-power-supplies-with-its-atx12vo-spec.html...

Looks like most large conferences this year will see cancellation or severe reduction in attendance. I wonder what's going to happen to more local events, like the ComicCons, TrekCons, etc? Will the lack of attendance kill the companies that host these events?

LTT on buying now vs tomorrow...

I don't know what pricing is like in the US, but here it's possible to get a 4L Tawny Port for under AU$20 (1 Gallon for ~$US13), some (non-drinkable) wines are even cheaper (750ml bottle for AU$3.50 when on a sale). Home brew kit ingredients (about AU$20-AU$25 depending on what your brewing)...

Sounds like it might be easier to distill or brew your own for all that effort. (wine/spirits/beer isn't that hard to make yourself).

FYI, json files are plain text, so you open them with your favorite text editor, eg notepad++.

Looks like some analysts are worried about this as well... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/23/investing/stocks-week-ahead/index.html

It's starting to look like the US reaction is to look like they are doing something, while doing nothing at all... Does the CDC not already have policy/plans for this sort of issue? I would hope that they do?

I agree, but it's certainly a non-obvious solution to what should be a default and easily accessible option.

Yet the CDC is saying Americans should prepare for it? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1142556

Is Microsoft losing the plot, or is this just another push towards Windows being PaaS on your own infrastructure? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-wants-to-do-away-with-windows-10-local-accounts/

It's because he was the last "IT nerd" to touch it (even though that was years ago), the failure is his fault, and he now has to fix it... (lots of sarcasm). My guess, family member or close relative.

My guess would be 14.04LTS...

Sorry for the short reply, was in a rush... Anyway, it's most likely a corrupt initrd image or filesystem. If it's a corrupt initrd, simply selecting one of the kernel versions (eg 3.3.13-032) should get the system booting... If it doesn't then you've got a corrupt filesystem. In that case...

The very first screen shot indicates either a corrupt initrd or corrupt primary filesystem... (... filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init ).
