I wouldn't think of it as sub-standard, but the parts are released and used in accordance to the specification defined by nVidia. The founders edn (reportedly) use high-spec components (eg capacitors, resisters, etc) in their construction, but I'm sure the actual GPUs will be no different to any...

Agreed, Defenders appears to be no better or worse than other AV products. IIRC, Windows Defender tends to rank as the least performance intrusive AV product... Where 3rd party AV products seem to differentiate themselves are the plugins for email client and web browsers these days. (And...

Yep... The device shows in the system tray if not mounted, or mounted as a driver letter, but not if mounted on a path.

PSA: If you mount an external drive on a filesystem path and not as a drive letter, Windows 10 won't let you eject the device. (Apparently only devices mounted as a drive letter can be ejected). And the stupid bug of the day - Excel 2016.... You can't open two excel spreadsheets that both the...

IIRC, you'll be waiting 2-3 years for Meltdown to be solved on Intel (since there is a 3-4yr development cycle), and for Spectre, well who knows when there will be CPU mitigations in place as new Spectre like attacks are cropping up on a regular basis?

Saw this posted via slashdot: https://pxlnv.com/blog/bullshit-web/ Pretty much fits in / agrees with what has been said about the bloat of "modern web". ./ discussion: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/08/05/0017215/front-end-developer-decries-garbage-design-choices-on-the-bullshit-web One...

I agree with Tannin, very, very nasty hot summer awaiting most of Australia... FYI we had 28C here today. (avg is ~20C at this time of year)

LM, Mac's and Linux systems certainly do have malware. Anyone who says otherwise is very-very misinformed. 1, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_malware 2, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware malware of GNU/Linux systems is on the rise, due to the increased deployment of GNU/Linux on...

There a few AV solutions for Linux, but most these target Win32/macOS viruses. You could try ClamAV, but it's best to "nuke it from orbit" and clean install... (copy your data from /home, scan and restore seems ok). As for their claims, checking for an RDP server instance, you need to check for...

I'm not seeing anything like that in recommended feed/channels on YT for me... And my wife keeps an eye on the kids watching YT stuff on their tablets, and they haven't seen anything similar either... I would guess it's a combination of 2 + 4... It's recommending not based on your history, but...

Super RAID 4 (MSI Marketing speak) = NVMe in RAID0 https://www.msi.com/blog/super-raid-4

IIRC, Windows 10 is more space friendly than Win8.1 unfortunately... My understanding was that these netbooks where meant to use the CompactOS** option for Win10, hence could be quite serviceable with 32GB of primary storage. However it would appear that none of the manufacturers are using that...

@Tannin, have you returned the Dell for a full refund? (As you're aware, it's certainly not-fit-for-purpose, which is a legitimate reason to return under ACL). There are many complaints about these netbooks (I class these laptops as netbooks) and the lack of space for Win10 - many can't even...

Any preferences on breeds? (max size)?

That's because we had to move to the sub-basement...

It could simply be one of the sites you are visiting are using ad-servers that default to Korean content for some reason, and is leaving tracking cookies that other sites are picking up on... Have you installed an adblocker or privacy plugin for your browsers? (I'm unsure if the regular plugins...

FYI, If you think Google has something to do with it: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en-AU

@LM, Visited Korea or Korean websites recently? (could be tracking cookies think you're in Korea for some reason)? Alternatively, your public IP is registered as residing in Korea, hence web trackers think you're in Korea? (You can use https://www.whatismyip.com/ip-address-lookup/ or...

@sechs... I did a two last week (Win 7 Pro OEM) and they activated fine. (Clean installation of Windows 10 - not an upgrade). I did some further reading, VLK, Enterprise and Upgrade keys won't activate. (VLK/Enterprise keys should be on software assurance anyway, so a non-issue). For OEM keys...

IIRC, OEM and retail yes. VLK maybe...

Can't comment on LinkedIn (not a user), and Skype I only use in a limited fashion (kids, wife and I video chat with my parents about once a fortnight via Skype, since they live 1.5K kms away). Skype has been good so far, but the last UI update left us all a little confused... But overall Skype...

So, the current popular SCM's for FOSS projects are GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket... Sourceforge (SF.net) once was king, but due to mismanagement by prior owners caused a massive loss of mindshare (and rightly so)... SF.net (by extension slashdot.org) got new owners in 2016, which cleaned up...

I took SF to mean here, Storage Forum.

Yep... but many see forums more as a proto-social media entity as they don't offer the full social media experience... Forums themselves are social by nature...

I'm similar to LM... very few social media sites... (only G+ with an empty landing page - only created at the time when Google made it mandatory to create a G+ account to properly configure you google account settings). no Facebook, no VKontakte, no LinkedIn, no MySpace, no Twitter, no...

Short version: Don't. They're an ex- for a reason. Long version: Don't get back together. In some circumstances it can work, but in most it doesn't work long term... You just need to ask yourself: why did you split? what has changed since then? Do I know who I am and what I want/need from a...

Let's see, The Godfather was 1972, The Godfather Part II was 1974. Based on the too new comment, would indicate less than 10 years since they came out, so in film school approx 1978-83... That's 35-40 yrs ago. Based on typical tertiary study ages (17 - 21), would indicate that you are between...

Which film school?

I would guess, at the time it was the only (easily available) card that could do 4K @ 60Hz ... These days, pretty much any card that supports HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.4 will do 4K@60Hz. (eg nVidia 1050GTX Ti - RRP ~US$199 ). Glad you had a safe trip...

Based on my experience, I would assume the role is being a trainee, being trained to be a observer cleared for field operations... (Observing what, will be covered in the course material).

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+wrong+with+brazil PS. Sorry couldn't resist... (This post was purely intended in jest, apologies if offence was taken). :smile:

https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Displays/Samsung-C49HG90-49-Ultrawide-FreeSync-2-Monitor-Review-How-Wide-too-Wide Samsung C49HG90 49-in 32:9 aspect monitor... (res = 3840x1080).

While I doubt it, could the use of the pagefile, system logging, read caching and .net optimisation processes account for the difference? The other possibility, CrystalDiskInfo has the field reversed? (Or Samsung/smart is reporting bad/wrong information).

My wife and I have just gone through choosing new handsets (replacing our current Sony Z3C's), so this thread was of some interest. (We both don't see the point in spending $$$ on a device). The only hard requirements, are that the handset is hearing aid compatible (my wife now wears hearing...

Tip: If you need to reinstall Office 2016 from DVD, ensure all updates are applied first, before attempt to connect Outlook to Office365 or other hosted exchange solution... MS Outlook gives really, really cryptic error messages in the simple case that the Outlook instance doesn't have the...

Has there been improvements with the underlying NAND since the earlier one was released? Otherwise this looks like just an improvement with the NAND controller itself...

Isn't it funny when some new law or regulation comes in (that can reduce a citizen expenditure when dealing with the government), that 3rd party corporations all claim that it'll reduce the economy in some fashion, or it's too hard for citizens to do it themselves? Australia brought in formless...

IIRC Fastmail was used by a lot of dodgy spam related entities as a mail forwarder, so not surprised about that one... I've now upgraded my outlook.com account to be the spam collector email account...

Well lets consider this... The rich and powerful have accountants to mange their finances, whom typically would be senior staff (or very close network to senior staff) of the large accounting/tax handling firms... Gotta keep your mates (who hide $$$$$$$ for you from the IRS) in jobs... So I...

What sort of display? Some only use water and ultra-fine microfibre, other's doesn't really matter... (If it's a PC monitor, then the manual should have recommended cleaning instructions).

mailcity.com (lycos.com) have announced that they are discontinuing their free email accounts... So there goes an email account that I've had for the last 20+yrs... Spent most of today logging into various online accounts to update email details... (mainly kept the mailcity.com account as a...

Here is the Intel tested list... This should give a very high degree of confidence that'll just work... DDR4-2400: https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/platform-memory/ddr4-sodimm-non-ecc-tested-at-2400mts-validation-results.html Main list for others...

Does Samsung have a certified RAM list for your laptop? Typically for unknown or non-publised lists, I'll stick with Kingston Intel-Certified RAM, or visit: https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/desktop-notebook/system-specific or http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/advisor to find out...

For most forensic imaging software, no. Disk/Device images are stored in a container image format (typically EWF/E01 or AFF4), which contain additional metadata like case information, hashes (MD5/SHA1 or SHA512) of all the data, and these images are compressed as well (to save space), etc...

@LM, who are you replying to?

For most desktop and workstations users and their workloads, probably not... At work, the device acquisition (for digital forensics) software we are building (and associated hardware platform), it is noticeable when acquiring a single NVMe device to a spanned set of NVMe target devices... and I...

But what is the interconnect between the the CPU and the PCH? It may mean those 24 PICe lanes on the PCH may have to share ~4.0GBps to the CPU.... (assuming the link is a DMI3.0 based interconnect).

I was under the impression that IPC for Zen based cores was equivalent to Haswell on the Intel side of things? And from what I've read there isn't a lot of difference between Haswell and current Intel cores... https://www.sweclockers.com/test/24701-intel-core-i9-7980xe/19#content Basically...
