Yup, exactly. HP has been running 12VO PSU in some systems for a while now. Dell too IIRC.

Decent write up on fio benchmark tool at ArsTechnica.

As it was explained to me, DR enables what amounts to low-level interleaving, like in channel level interleaving. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_rank The wiki article states there may be a performance penalty with multiple ranks, just after it describes a performance benefit; I...

Yes. DR is better than SR. At least in memory-bottlenecked situations. Prime95 is memory bound (since AVX instructions appeared), so the hardcore users spend much effort on memory optimization. Some trustworthy users report gains >10% with DR vs. SR (in an application where single digit...

16GB modules might be dual-rank; I know that in memory intensive situations that can make a measurable difference. IME under Prime95 dual-rank is worth more than reducing CAS by 2.

B/c on writes, in some situations, you are limited by the interface to cache transfer rate, rather than the physical media transfer rate for reads. Depending on the number of drives, RAID implementation, and size of on-disk cache, you can maintain a higher write speed for an extended period of time.

Heh. Even more pedantic: Throttle is not exactly correct either, as no fluid flow. Accelerator not exactly accurate, as it can also cause braking (one-pedal driving). Edit: Ok, I guess accelerator is fine; - or + delta V is still technically acceleration. [Yes, I have been awake too long, why...

JTR, if you really expect not to have income when Medicare kicks in, you should do some asset planning now-ish. Most states have programs that will pay Part B premiums (either through Medicaid or outside of it), but the asset limits can be severe. However, some asset classes are exempt from the...

NO! Do not opt out of part B (unless you have other qualifying insurance at the time - qualifying insurance does not include some plans, such as COBRA benefits) otherwise you will probably pay a late-enrollment penalty forever. From SSA website: Will I get a bill for my Part A or Part B...

Are you sure about the cost of an office visit and the deductible? Most plans (unless they are only crappy catastrophic coverage) will only cost you $25 to $50 for an office visit - you don't need to hit the deductible before the 25-50 expense applies.

Biggest PITA is dealing with firebreaks if you have them - small 2x4s installed perpendicular to the vertical studs every so often. Segments the wall into small boxes and prevents them from acting like a chimney (or combustion air duct). The pros I observed used 72" spring steel augers to make...

Not a campfire, the Camp Fire. Bad name choice by authorities. Most likely cause is electric utility line fault of some type.

Wow! Tight market for solar out there. Here estimates (detailed ones at that) are free, no money due unless you select that firm to do the install. Homeowner-owned systems are common here, but everyone advertises the power purchase agreement (PPA) type as well as $0 down and about half your...

I'd get a reputable local company to give you an estimate. They should know the interconnection requirements as well as the details on the tax credits; such as the owner of the house may not be relevant, but rather the owner (purchaser) of the system may be able to claim credits regardless of...

Get to control panel and select Date and Time: Windows Key, con, <enter>, click Date and Time or Windows Key, timedate.cpl <enter> or, in search box timedate.cpl <enter>

Based on my viewing of the pictures for the 8th gen NUC, some models have USB-C; those without have dual HDMI outputs. Also note that support for Windows other than 10 seems sketchy at best.

Doppler effect explanation sounds off to me as well. Lunar is a bit off in his calculations (c = 671,000,000 MPH, so c/1000=671,000 MPH) so any doppler shift would be even tinier.

Hah! As it turns out you did, albeit inadvertently.

Until you remove so much heat that the condensate doesn't evaporate, and you get water pooling under the fridge... :wink:

Looks like WDC is using CMR to mean Conventional Magnetic Recording, or not using heat/microwave/laser assisted writes. Specifically mentions that the drive is PMR and not SMR (shingled).

Whoa! 180 Watt power adapter. Can you even run an adapter of that size on airplane seat power? IIRC DC connections at the seat are limited to around 75 Watts.

AFAICT, DMA still exists in that you don't need the CPU to direct memory transfers (like old school PIO), but since the only physical access to memory is through the CPU die's IMC, all data transfers outside of RAM/cache go through PCIe/DMI.

So..LGBT? :smile:

I wonder if Android can do what I do with my iPhone: Set to Do Not Disturb mode, and then allow only calls from contact list to ring through. Not a complete solution, but better than nothing. Sorry if not helpful, I haven't used Android for many years.

"Glitch" is an Office Space movie reference. In the movie Milton was laid off, but due to a glitch in the payroll department, he continued to go to work and receive a paycheck for years.

AFAIK, AMD never marketed motherboards - I would have probably bought a couple if they had, and I cannot recall even considering an AMD made motherboard. IMHO, the most probable killers would be the (1) power supply/brick for the scanner or (2) computer power supply as cheaply built PSU could go...

Dirac three polarizers experiment. Quantum stuff is mind-bendy.

Maybe not; it is less salty than Vegemite.

Maybe you can use one of these to draw on the battery pack?

Do they still use Cobalt 60 to irradiate food? 25kGy is on the low end of the dosage spectrum for meat... Edit: Guess they do...according to wikipedia at least.

I don't think a 660 foot fan would fit in an Olds Cutlass, even one from 60's or 70's. Maybe a 98... 8)

Did you want to wipe the drive and reuse it for Windows? If so, throw it in a working Windows computer and use the CLEAN option in DISKPART on it. Be careful to select the right disk.

Not just you.

I think it weird, but I've met at least 3 people named Scott Scott, one of which is a cousin.

Ironically, your problem is that you already have a very fast system. Intel's focus has been on power efficiency and increasing core count for the same power envelope rather than single thread (or even per-core) performance. Your Haswell-E system might be marginally slower than a Broadwell-E...

No current equipment meets your requirements.

I'd do a google search for the exact box/remote combo. IIRC, sometimes you need to enter a special code to unlock volume adjustment. It's been forever since I dealt with Comcast though...

David, are you sure the Comcast cable box doesn't have its own volume control? Some do...

Like the Diet of Worms?

Haven't run into a non-FB or Google site that requires a social network login, but they sometimes hide the non-social link pretty well...

Turbo tax is on sale at Amazon according to ArsTechnica. Wish I had seen that before paying TaxAct's silly price this year.

how about now?

Random thought: Thermal throttling? Though that seems strange on read-only loads...

Yeah, I'm undecided as well. I might just give up 15 seconds of totality and stay in Metropolis - or drive just out of town. The casino might even have their own party/excursion...

Tenatively, yes. I've got a room booked at Harrah's Metropolis that weekend, so I might just make the hour drive north to Carbondale Il. to participate. I'm hoping SIU has something planned...[edit] of course they do!

Cafepress might meet your needs.

Thanks Nitsirk!

Try a 3rd party drum for <$50? I don't know about that exact model, but other Brother printers allowed you to reset the drum lifetime counter without actually replacing the drum (no chip in drum).

Dunno, Germans can be rather good at engineering...Teutonic drift might be several orders of magnitude faster than tectonic variety.

FrontoTemporal Dementia?
