Something worth checking, is your states regulations regarding internal cabling. (Is there a state/federal requirement for licensed/registered persons to do the work). Also, having done lots of cabling in the past, whilst there is a sense of achievement in DIY, the WTF moments on trying to feed...

Seems to have really died down... Hopefully all the old regulars are well?

Unfortunately, I don't think you will (easily), especially with the heavy push for thinner/lighter laptops. If you want something with mechanical keys, then an external keyboard is your best bet. (There are quite a few 68key keyboards out there and even a few 49key ones). Actually, just found...

Likewise, as sd mentions, HP stuff orientated towards business users tends to be decent, stuff orientated towards mass consumers can be very hit/miss... HP Probooks and Elitebooks tend to be decent across the board, but their Pavilion can be very hit/miss (especially the Intel ones, the AMD...

Mirroring what H mentioned, it's best to use the same vendor SFP+ transceivers as the card being used. However we've had some good experiences with 3rd-party transcievers from FibreStore (https://www.fs.com/), as they make transceivers to suite vendor specific cards.

Yesterday was pretty good, daughters 9th birthday... Took the day off work to spend with her (and the rest of the family), went and saw "How to train your dragon 3" at the cinema, and had a sushi banquet for lunch after the movie... and she played with all her new toys in the afternoon...

I would hope/assume either rhinovirus or influenza?

We have a few 2TB, 4TB and 6TB Toshiba's at work (about 40 all up), haven't had any issues with them so far...

Just like to wish those of the Orthodox Christian faiths, a Merry Christmas. (Christmas in most Orthodox faiths is celebrated on the 7th of Jan : https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/orthodox-christmas-day ).

Interesting little ARM based system kit... https://www.anandtech.com/show/13584/nvidia-xavier-agx-hands-on-carmel-and-more I wonder how hard/possible it would be to convert this into a small NUC desktop system?

IIRC, Thunderbird can import mbox natively.

Happy New Year to all...

Looks really good. Can you please double check the edit time for posts, I seem to be able to edit really old posts...

So it's true, Aquaman does suck...

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...

AMDs CPUs weren't vulnerable to Meltdown, only some the Spectre variants, most of which performance loss due to mitigation were minor. My only concern with Ryzen are the mobile parts, and how AMD has handled the driver situation with them...

And the comments/reviews certainly have a good sense of humour about them! ;)

A quick browse through the article, suggests that a debian based userland is now available whilst running in ChromeOS (no dual boot), allowing users to install GNU/Linux applications (via the debian repos) and have those applications run along side your native ChromeOS apps and Android apps...

OK, here is the data from the Australian BOM for: Amberley RAAF airbase: 1941-Present... http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_nccObsCode=36&p_display_type=dataFile&p_startYear=&p_c=&p_stn_num=040004 Logan City: 1993-Present...

Source?

None.... ;)

It was refreshing to see an honest review on the durability of the device as well, something I think that is often skipped in most reviews.

IPad Pro review...

Due to an administrative billing error with our ISP, we had our service restricted/shaped to 256/256Kbps (down/up) yesterday.... (all corrected now). It was an eye opener to see how bloated the web has become, and what interesting, was the customer portal (for accounts/services/payments/etc)...

Today the family took a drive up to O'Reillys @ Lamington NP, and went for a short bushwalk... Enjoying all the birds and other flora/fauna we came across this cute little guy... Sorry for the bad pic, but off the camera on the mobile using digital zoom, as didn't want to get too close...

I don't understand it, I always tend to go for decent without spending $$$. (The tyres I got were AU$270ea and have a 80K km (50K mi) rating - I'll be happy with 60K km (38K mi) from them). Last set of tyres on the car (Dunlop SP Sport 01) we changed at 55K km (34K mi), as while they were still...

Just a short post... Was getting new tyres on the car last weekend (Cooper CS5 Ultras for our Suzuki Grand Vitara), and whilst waiting for them to fit them whilst in the waiting room, a rather smug looking individual comes in asking about getting two new tyres for their car (Merc C63 AMG about...

Not surprised at all, especially schemes that rely on using SMS/txt delivered pin codes. (really easy to hijack/listen in on phones these days). Thanks for the link. ;)

I don't know what it's like in the US, but here in Aus, there has been a significant increase in going after "soft" targets, especially small companies that deal with large sums of money but won't have internal IT or even dedicated IT budgets, eg small legal firms, small real-estate agents, etc...

Sounds like the sysadmins have left the default settings in place then. (disable NTP client access, have the client sync with the nearest DC or locate the PDC). You can create GPOs that can either configure NTP settings for clients, or allow clients to set them. (The former being the preferred)...

Are you sure about that? I know it prefers one or more of the DCs as the NTP source, but surely you can set an external NTP source? (even if it means doing it via GPO).

@LM, any reason you're not allowing Windows to use NTP to set the local time? (so that the time is accurate to a few msec).

Looks like MS have re-released update 1809 (aka October 2018 update)... https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/9/17957506/microsoft-windows-10-october-2018-update-data-deletion-fix

And the thing is, this could be happening with any ODM/OEM supplier... Supply chain infiltration is a major concern for those in the infosec field (esp at gov/mil levels). Additionally, wouldn't it be easier/less detectable to hack the firmware of the BMC to provide those remote functions...

Nothing wrong with warm sake, but in a microwave... too hot, too fast will kill the flavour and alcohol... Same applies to some cognac and brandies... PSA: https://www.sakeshop.com.au/pages/how-to-warm-sake

I even noticed this here in Oz, got an email with a WD 120GB SSD for AU$38, insanely cheap.

I thought most cinema was shot at 2.35:1 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21:9_aspect_ratio ) which would make 21:9 the ideal aspect for monitors and TV for movie viewing... I know Dell, LG and HP now offer at or very similar to this aspect... eg...

The cloud in action... ;)

I can say that I'm not really a fan of Chrome 69's tab visual design and colour scheme... (and the new Android Messages for SMS on Android phones sucks as well).

@LM, Have you considered any of the other NUC designs from other vendors? https://www.asus.com/au/Mini-PCs/ https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/all https://www.asrock.com/nettop/ Most have DP ports available. Whilst slightly bigger than a NUC, The Zotac Magnus EN1070K has dual DP1.3...

I wouldn't expect any support for anything other than 10, due to: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/13/microsoft_kills_support_old_windows_on_new_chips/ Also for the lack of DP (some models have miniDP - for example...

Sorry, missed the sarcasm tag... ;)

@LM, I thought we had already covered this? http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/11342-Hacked#4

In other news, Australia has a new Prime Minister, Scott Morrison.... Many who consider he failed in his appointments of head of social security (Centrelink) and failed as Treasurer under the previous PM.

They're not?

nVidia Quadro cards date back to 1999? (The first Quadro card was based on the original GeForce256 GPU). And before that were the VPro cards used in SGI IRIX based workstations....

I thought the IRS will send registered mail in an audit/investigation event? (I know the Australian ATO only communicates via registered mail in such circumstances).

I didn't know you drove an Audi?

So I assume you'll be after the Quadro RTX8000 then? ;) https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-unveils-quadro-rtx-worlds-first-ray-tracing-gpu
