Going off on a side topic, with mail/package restrictions out of China now in force (for most countries), how long do we think prices for goods at the local stores will remain as they are? (As stock can't be replenished for goods made in China, what is pricing going to be like in 1-3-6 months)...

Both ESXi and KVM/QEMU support USB pass through (as does VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox on the desktop), but unfortunately there are times when you don't get to choose the hypervisor being used... (eg customer uses HyperV on all their VM servers)... It took me by surprise since most (if not...

One one to make VMs suck less... Support USB pass-through... Note: Hyper-V (even on Server 2019) doesn't support USB pass through, instead you need to rely on an USB over IP solution... :mad:

If the controller supports NVMe, then it should support 4Kn.... I did find Intel noting support for 4Kn on their RAID controllers on the latest chipset and firmware, but... However, I'm not aware of any SATA based SSDs that are 4Kn (all the ones I have in the office are 512e).

I would be very surprised if the disk controller didn't support 4kn drives in AHCI mode... As for RAID mode, I don't even think the Intel RAID drivers support 4kn drives in RAID mode. (At least all drives would have to be the same as a minimum, eg no mixing 512 / 512e / 4kn drives, for it to...

OK, There so there are two issues here: 1. Ability to update the contents of the card from a file (increase the balance). 2. Limited write cycle on the current card. I'll attempt to address both separately: Ability to update the contents of the card from a file. This one is pretty easy to...

This (assuming you can get that level of access to the card), or look at another card with higher write cycle limits. FYI: The Feitian smartcards we use at work have 500K+ write cycle endurance...(and these are the cheap ones). https://www.ftsafe.com/Products/PKI/Standard/Specification

The WHO has declared a Global Health Emergency in regards to the Wuhan Coronavirus as it continues to spread. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2020/01/who-declares-global-health-emergency-as-wuhan-coronavirus-continues-to-spread/ PS. WHO = World Health Organization.

And I suspect that's why certain authorities are really worried... Is it a case that people in typically what's considered a low risk group are also dying as well? It's just not people in the typical high-risk groups (very young, elderly, immuno compromised, etc).

US CDC numbers: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html Most years indicate 2-3% fatality rate (recent years are up) for those that seek medical assistance. Of all infections, it's estimated at ~0.1%. (Which is what I initially expected, the Australian numbers for 2017 really surprised...

My wife and I have been following it, since due to her complex medical conditions, can pick up cold/flu's easily and working out a plan on how best to avoid high risk groups without affecting our lives too much. As to how deadly it is, I'm no expert, but 80+ confirmed deaths and just over 2700+...

IMHO, your logic is sound... Live long and prosper...

Sounds like a crap thermal design for the laptop... Unfortunately, Intel define Base Clock and TDP as: Which means as long, as all fours cores at 100% CPU utilisation at Base Clock (1.8GHz for this CPU) emit no more than 15W, AND the CPU doesn't fall below base clock under 100% load, then all...

Just like to wish those of the Orthodox Christian faiths, a Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday Isaac Asimov ... (he would have turned 100 today).

Operation went extremely well, but won't know full results for a week. She's pretty much slept most of yesterday, and expect to do likewise today as well.

Just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year... Didn't do anything last night, as my wife was at hospital yesterday having an operation, and came home mid-afternoon...

I sure I am, but when my wife purchased them, the BR versions were double the price and hard to find, where the DVD versions were everywhere and often on sale. Just finished the last 4 episodes of S1, excellent story so far. Does anyone know how closely they follow the books? The mars combat...

Thanks for the offer, but will stick with local copies for now.

I'm only midway through season 1... Have S1 and S2 on DVD....

IIRC, music brainz did have a freedb compatible API endpoint, but it was discontinued about a year ago instead favouring native client support. Best just to try a new ripper with musicbrainz support. (Something that I need to look into myself as the ripper I use (asunder) only supports freedb).

IIRC, The main alternative to freedb is MusicBrainz. The Wikipedia page on musicbrainz has a number of clients that use it instead of freedb, so try one of those to see which one suits your needs best.

Just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy a safe and pleasant holiday period. For all others who also celebrate other events at this time I also wish a: Happy Hanukkah Io, Saturnalia! Happy and Joyful Kwanzaa Happy Constitution Day Joyful Feast of Winter Veil Happy...

So any bets on when the US changes from an Oligarchy to an Autocracy then? Or would a 2nd civil war is more likely?

It's pretty similar here in Oz, the blindness of the party faithful (on all sides) is pretty astounding. I saw an interesting comment on /. about the truth in regards to politicians claims... For every item they claim as their success, can you actually show what policy or program they...

So hows everyone's golf game these days?

Sorry for bringing up the impeachment. (didn't mean to cause conflict). 🥺

The last time I paid $1K for a motherboard was for a quad-socket board... I don't think I could justify $1K for what is essentially a consumer orientated board. It's pretty though.

Umm.. I don't know what to think about this... https://www.anandtech.com/show/14951/the-asrock-x570-aqua-motherboard-review-

Don't know about what's included on the Pixel 3a purchased, but on my phone (Sony XA2 with Android 9), ~9GB is "system", and ~7GB are "other apps", of which about ~3GB are Google applications (play store, maps, gmail, etc). Applications I've installed is less than 1GB... So 15GB sounds like are...

We had 39C (102F) at 11am this morning, still heavy smoke from bush fires... This is going to be an interesting summer...

This would be funny, if not so true...

Unfortunately the information you're after is buried in user manuals (if you're lucky) or the specification documents. That's your research to do. Here is one example from Tyan: https://www.tyan.com/Motherboards_S8020_S8020AGM2NR-EX If you look at the spec sheet...

That's entirely on the motherboard layout, and nothing to do with the chip... Most motherboard manuals should give you the PCIe lane to physical slot assignments.

So how come you become the arsehole when you point out others people's really-really-shitty behaviour to them?

I assuming QLD? Then both QPol and QLD Corrective Services should both have and should be able to provide to you the relevant ISM (Information Security Manuals). These manuals should contain the relevant polices and procedures for IS located on prison grounds including provisioning and usage...

We've been hit with another round of fires through out NSW and QLD. We've been covered in smoke for the last 5-6 days (yesterday was pretty good), however on Monday visibility on the main motorway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane was done to 500m (560 yards) in parts... Smoke from the fires...

@LM, you'll need to wait until parts are released before you see any figures...

Looks like the US get to miss out... https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_us/classic-phones (Only 1 model listed vs 15+ models for the rest of the world). Edit: gsmarena links: https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_800_tough-9835.php https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_2720_flip-9836.php...

Looks like Nokia is attempting to revive the "classic" mobile phone, and now has at least 3 new models available in the last few months, including a flip phone... Nokia 2720 Flip: https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-2720-flip All classic phones...

Looks like its California's turn for extreme fires at the moment. Hope all effected are safe...

I agree 100%. I don't know what it's like in the US, but most companies here use what some may consider misleading warranty statements. Most here will advertise a 25yr performance warranty (that is the panel will only lose up to 20% of maximum performance rating over 25yrs), however the panel...

I personally was aware of the issue, and may be more of an issuer sooner-than-latter as many cheaper manufactured panels are on the market that don't have the same life as higher-quality panels. (eg need to replace every 5-7 years, rather than every 15-20 years). Also reminds me of the study...
