    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    Mostly it is about LINUX fragmentation vs Microsoft having one of the strongest IF NOT THE STRONGEST marketing departments of all time. There are LINUX desktops that are as "easy to use" as Windows - especially if you toss in the TOTALLY UNUSABLE INTERFACE of WIndows 8 that Microsoft is STILL...

    Nvidia Will no Longer Support 32-bit Operating Systems After 390 Driver Release

    No shock, AMD dropped 32 bit support ballpark 5 YEARS ago so Nvidia should get kudos (and DID get some extra sales) for having support for so much longer. I remember 4-bit - though I never actually USED a 4004, I did remember reading a lot about it back in the day.

    Unhackable Computer under Development with $3.6M DARPA Grant

    As long as humans are going to operate it, there WILL be ways to hack it. There are a LOT of miltary computers that are never hooked into a network of any sort, specifically FOR security reasons.

    World’s Largest Amphibious Aircraft Makes Maiden Flight in China

    Largest OPERATIONAL amphibian perhaps, it's not in the same class as the Spruce Goose.

    How long did you put off a Motherboard upgrade with parts in hand.

    I can't remember the last time I did a "motherboard upgrade" as motherboard tend to die LONG before the CPU or RAM in the motherboard does. I also tend to build an entire new system rather than "upgrade" a system, then keep the old system around as a "backup" for a while before I end up...

    Did AMD miss a big opportunity in 2017?

    Vega was a DISASTER for AMD prior to the discovery by cryptocoin miners that it was a MONSTER for Monero (XMR, Cryptonight algorithm) mining. Without THOSE sales, Vega would still be getting dumped at quite a bit less than MSRP and would be in widespread easy availability. The ONLY other place...

    Why can't I pay money for a freaking FM2+ APU

    AMD stopped production on anything for FM2 a while back, in favor of their new AM4 products. The A10-7890k wasn't elusive - Newegg had them in stock for a LONG time - they were just pricy so I tended to go with A10-7860k models instead most of the time. The APUs based on Bulldozer weren't a...

    New generation 800-1000w Gold+ rated PSU - Seasonic vs EVGA...others?

    Due to the move on the part of EVGA for the G3/P3/T3 line and the Seasonic move in the Prime/Focus line to "fancy name sleeve bearing fans" instead of the good LONG LASTING BALL BEARING fans of the G2/P2/T2 and X/SS lines, I refuse to even look at the current generation EVGA and Seasonic...

    Titan V - 110 TFlops

    The 110 TH is HALF PRECISION only - not applicable to Folding which uses a mix of standard precision and double-precision work. 7 TFlops DP precision is bloody A LOT - nothing "consumer" even comes close, the old R9 280x (and other Tahiti-based varients) were the closest in a CONSUMER card and...

    Should i return this GPU

    Are you trying to run FAH *AND* WCG on the same GPU? VERY VERY BAD IDEA if so - I'm amazed that it would even try to work. If you're trying to run WCG on your CPU, set it up so it doesn't touch at least one FULL core of the CPU per 1080 GPU - folding NEEDS that core to keep the GPU fed.

    Mining advice/suggestions

    There is NO reason for LINUX to have lower hashrates vs Windows - in fact they tend to be the SAME to a hair of advantage to LINUX due to it's lower driver overhead. The only significant difference is that LINUX doesn't have undervolt control (which can be worked around for the MOST part with...

    6GPU Rig Power Supply

    The main issue with pushing consumer power supplies past ROUGH BALLPARK 80% or so on a mining rig is twofold. 1) Occasional power spikes out of the cards CAN push you over the limit, or cause enough of a "sag" to cause issues. 2) The supply is NOT designed for 24/7 long term operation at that...

    Most bang for buck gpu's?

    Dan Gookin is amazed at how far the "For Dummies" stuff has spread. (that's more or less a quote from an email I got from him a while back, I knew him back in the days just before "DOS for Dummies" propelled him to fame). IMO 1070 ti on a cost/hash bases > 1080 as a general rule - there might...

    Mining Motherboards

    Newegg themselves have been out of stock for a while, some of the marketplace dealers occasionally post one - at some CRAZY high price. At $150 they're a good option, even if you only want to run 9-12 cards, given they save you the cost of Add2PSU units with the onboard PS management for up to...

    I somehow have BCH...?

    It was in fact a 1:1 fork. My BCH showed up elsewhere, as I don't HOLD funds on Coinbase more than a day at most - and that is due to the timeframe for "start a transaction" and "transaction completes" but I don't get around to checking it 'till the next day.
