Sweet ride. As a college buddy used to say, "Does it go where you point it?"

And is it a used car? ;)

I would consume a sandwich.

I'm not sure the various spectre/meltdown/... variants require hyper-threading; at least some of them may work on any multi-core processor.

You could consider adding RAM test software, such as MemTest86, to your diagnostic kit.

OTOH, this Orange Muscat is a fine dessert wine, IMHO.

Cool infinite-loop-link! ;)

In your copious spare time? ;)

Then that was terrible, Lunar. Almost a decade ago, when I was laid off, I at least got a decent severance package to "tide me over". A few years later, my wife took the "offer she couldn't refuse", to retire early from her job, and got a minimal, better-than-nothing severance package. The...

So you got lucky ;) Or maybe that was part of a severance package you got, that others who hung on until the company closed did not get.

You can preview your whole post, before saving it, and test the links that way.

That. Spoken as an "old fogie" whose eyes and ears are going somewhat fast. Streaming TV in 4K (+HDR?) may be "good enough" for my vision. And I'm a fan of classic music (jazz, blues, rock (&roll), Motown, hip-hop, etc.), but not classical music, so 95% coverage may be adequate to convey the...

I Googled it earlier. I think it's something about a dog show.

I think he wants "RAD" changed to "RAID" in Computers/RAD Failure.

But HP may be cluefull. They and CostCo work out a big deal for a proprietary laptop line with impressive-seeming hw specs, and lots of CostCo customers buy in and don't have the background to realize how they've been gypped.

I haf already reported the threat you got from that new "nutjob". That was much too much (something about "must be killed"), and I think it may already be gone.

The link above works, but if you go to the linked post, the "here" links in that do not.

I noticed yesterday that some older "internal forum links" in threads are no longer functional, presumably because of the forum-conversion complexities. I also assume that this issue may be too difficult to remedy, and not worth the effort, so we may need to just accept it and move on. An...

That is a hassle, but at least we can extract the YouTube URL.

Merry belated Christmas! Now you've got time on your hands. :wink:

Having spent 14 years in Berkeley and Albany in a previous millennium, I recall that the residential heating equipment was sometimes inadequate to handle outdoor temperatures close to freezing. Bring out the clothing layers normally reserved for the Sierra Nevada range.

Now, the Air Quality Index is green, according to https://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.local_city&cityid=317:

Tweezers.

It's still moderately bad in the SF bay area and beyond. And rain in the areas that had major fires could cause dangerous mud slides, a double disaster.

Your link isn't about any dSLR equipment, but instead, refers to a page in this web site that doesn't exist or is empty: storageforum.net/forum/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=6694

I'm sure it is. ;)

Do you use Exact Audio Copy (www.exactaudiocopy.de), or something similar, to try to get the best quality from your CD rips?

How much did you pay for your Stereo equipment, dude? ;)

Jazz There is some jazz on the web. Bags Meets Wes! - Milt Jackson, Wes Montgomery https://youtu.be/oVDmXnb812A

I'm guessing that your faithful correspondent is not a native English speaker. BTW, I just got another blackEmail yesteday, from @list.ru. Their English was a little better, but only by about 62%. ;)

Dude indeed! That unit costs more than the 3 PCs, 2 printers, and scanner in my office.

He posted to the wrong thread. (It's happened to some of us a few times.) He couldn't delete it, so he just edited it down to 1 word.

I got my Win10 update today; I backed up the Docs and Pix folders first. Twice. But they were still there after the reboot. But I don't use that PC much; I mainly have it in case family or friends have Windows questions. (And it had a big rebate.)

Since those are kind of Windows "default locations" to save documents or pictures, I would assume that there are a lot of "ordinary" people that could have been fodder for this disastrous bug. Hopefully, not too many of them actually had gotten that "(in)security update" installed.

Or perhaps, SnooperMicro.

So, software hacking is so hard that maybe somebody came up with a hardware solution: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/10/bloomberg-stands-by-chinese-chip-story-as-apple-amazon-ratchet-up-denials...

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/10/microsoft-suspends-distribution-of-latest-windows-10-update-over-data-loss-bug Upside: more free disk space

I am starting to give this some serious consideration. One challenge for me is desk space (not disk space :-)). I have 4 computers on an old KVM, using PS2 and VGA connections. It seems that my monitor does have the required HDMI connection, but I would have to get a USB keyboard (and...

That sounds quite interesting. I wonder if that approach would avoid all those "Please disable your ad blocker for our very special site" pop-ups.

Yeah, Max Output 10000 Lumens, right near the top. Gotta justify $200 U.S. for a flashlight. But that includes The Manual for a flashlight.

And now for something completely random, https://youtu.be/PqosS6DBwhA.

This is the Something Random thread. EVGA came up in:

Excellent luck, indeed! Congrats to you and EVGA!

I just saw mention of a "strawberry milk shake beer". Yuck! If I want a milkshake, I'll get one. I like beer that tastes like beer! (Though I don't like it too bitter.) Sour beer is fairly new to me, such as Belgian gose (or gueuze), but from the few examples I've had, I like them.

Dessert Wines Well, the "Pedro Ximénez" sherry would usually be quite a bit more than $18, retail, due to the additional processing involved. I don't know how the "(Chinese?) voltages" come into the process, though. But I thought of a great advertising slogan after I heard that brand name, "If...

Dessert Wines I like a good dessert wine, after dinner or in lieu of a cocktail. A fine Sauternes can be treasured - yes, sweet, but with a fine balance of acidity. A few months ago, I had a "Pedro Ximénez" sherry, and it was lovely, dark and deep. Then a couple of weeks ago, at some...

The craft beer craze may be on the wane, including the super-IPA (mine's bitterer than yours), and the tutti-fruity, subsets. But the bad news is that it might be getting replaced by the new "craft cocktails" phase. They seem to be everywhere, but here is a little sample from a U.S...
