I've got a Soft laptop with 4GB of ram... Not upgradable, although I was able to add a sata ssd to augment/replace the 64GB eMMC. It's clearly garbage, but I've got my reasons... Anyway, it has Windows 10, and could get 11. Since I trust y'all. Did Microsoft make Windows 11 better on low ram...

Cat5e in my 2001 house runs 10g fine for me (I only run it on two runs out of many though)

I mean, facebook has a crap ton of machines running Linux and while they run a lot of dumb stuff on them, they don't run cups. Pretty sure google doesn't run cups on their machines either, but I don't have hands on experience with theirs. I get that desktop distributions would run cups by...

I really only look at the sector counts. Smart data says no bad/questionable sectors. Bad blocks says no bad sectors. Power on time is like new. My personal threshold is 10 weird sectors for a drive where there's no automatic monitoring, and 100 for a drive with monitoring; although if it picks...

I would think cups isn't on most Linux or UNIX boxes. Most boxes don't need to print and shouldn't have it installed. And I don't think it's one of those packages that ends up as a dependency. But desktop distros probably put it on by default.

I think you can go either way, it'd be nice to just have all the data, but the kinds of images that will be noticably different with DSC are going to look pretty much like random pixels, and if your random pixels aren't quite right, it didn't really hurt anything did it? There's certainly a...

Did the Intel board hire a CEO from Qualcomm to finish running the company into the ground, so they could sell the pieces for less like Nokia did with Elop?

Well, that's because that's what it is. X870 is the same Promontory 21 as B650, X670 was two of them, but in the 800 series, you only get two chipsets with X870E. USB4 comes from a separate chip, which a motherboard maker could put on a B650 board if they want.

Either way should be fine. If your ethernet runs are long, a switch might be more reliable than a coupler. A coupler should cost less and use no electricity, but if you have an extra switch without a lot of ports, why not use it? And a four port 1G switch costs $10, maybe? If the new device...

You can use a switch for that, or just an ethernet coupler would probably work too.

Do you have your pump setup to run at constant speed or some sort of PWM? If constant speed, should be easy to measure voltage under load, if the voltage sags and the pump gives up, sounds like a PSU issue (but... Pump working hard could pull more load and cause the voltage sag).

Yeah, that's a good question. It doesn't really make sense for a data center or a generator to do it like it sounds. More likely, Microsoft has committed to paying for some number of MWh at some rate, if the plant puts those on the grid. If the Microsoft datacenters take those MWh off the grid...

Might be a couple dollars more to get an optical input, if the TV has optical out, that'll help your audio quality before bluetooth compression ruins it.

I'm gonna send it off to buschman if I don't hear from Durvelle. But I'm surprised so many people want this garbage SSD. :P

I've been happy with Roku Ultras. The 2022 is nicer than the older ones, but not by a whole lot. I've used a couple Android TV boxes and I dunno, I don't like it and don't see how I would stay married if my wife had to use it. I'm pretty much locked into Roku Ultras because I want wired...

I may have a few. And I've been buying up nice cases from the PC recycler lately... Just wanted to have some home server ready cases with lots of drive bays. Hard to find those for less than $100 now, but $30 gets me something nice. I got one to have, but then used it for a desktop build where I...

Tempted? Free shipping.

I've got to find it, but I have the world's worst 1 TB Sata SSD, if you want it. Tests fine, but super slow unless you run really high queue depth. I'd need a day or so to wipe and I can run SMART tests or whatever, if you want.

This is a case in Japan's courts and I dunno anything about Japanese law... But there's US case law on Street Fighter https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom_U.S.A._Inc._v._Data_East_Corp. TLDR: none of the allegedly copied elements were protected by copyright. There's an earlier case where Data...

Cores are essentially the same, but bouncing a process to a core on another socket means the memory is likely to be non-local now, and the cache isn't so helpful, etc. If the process is doing i/o with a device and now it's non-local that can be pretty bad too, etc. I also don't know what people...

I haven't used either of the senses, but you can do mac address filtering with ipfw with the right settings, and you can run ipfw and pf at the same time (I do! because I need some pf exclusive features and some ipfw exclusive features), so there is probably a way to do what you want with...

I haven't seen details, but round robin is pretty dumb. Some sort of core/ccd/chiplet/socket affinity would be nice for recently scheduled threads so the cache doesn't have to bounce around. I know there's some actually high performance server stuff going on in Windows, but those peeps must just...

That's not entirely true. For narsbar, yeah, I don't think he can run the setup app without it, so he wouldn't be able to run them as hearing aids... but they work with Android using Bluetooth if you just want wireless earbuds with a mic.

I think you can move your servers to the pump house, but you're gonna need to keep a louder enterprisey switch in the store room. As you're contemplating going beyond 10g, you should run fiber to your pumphouse for your servers; I don't think there's hope for twisted pair based ethernet beyond...

Yeah, every pin with DDI2 is going to be connected to the same display output. There will be other pins for DDI1 and DDI0 or DDI3 depending on how intel decided to count. Yeah, that's what I'd do. If both of the DP outputs work, it might be the user choice output that's broken. If you have a...

Based on the name, sounds like this is a transmitter pin for the second digital display interface on the CPU. Probably will make one of the display outputs on the motherboard unusable, but otherwise fine. Some motherboards don't use all the outputs, but if it only has one output, they might...

It will be nice if they make it easier to join a family. Family sharing assumed both accounts shared the same computer, which was sometimes tricky to get started.

Doesn't work with everything, but some games you can put steam in offline mode in your main account and also play with the family sharing account, I assume that will still work. Games that don't have lan multiplayer are less likely to work, and some games with lan multiplayer don't work either...

Radiation nasties have a range of half-lifes. The short half-life stuff will kill you quickly, but uses itself up quickly too. The long half-life stuff has a low activity level, so it's relatively fine as long as there's not a ton of it. The medium half-life stuff is the real problem ---...

You may need to use an LSI utility to run smart tests rather than generic tools. If the test returns immediately, probably the card didn't pass it through. You should see data for the past 5 or so smart tests in the disk's log, if you run one through the LBA, then hook up the disk directly, my...

I had a friend convince me not to get that exact cisco ebay listing last month. It's probably very loud and has high power use, even at idle. It probably doesn't work at 10M, and maybe not at 100M, but I think it does. If you buy it, you're going to end up buying a lot more 10g NICs and some...

SGX is an intel only extension. It was on consumer chips for one? socket, but is now server only. I think it's needed only for licensed viewing of 4K UltraHD Blu-Ray on a computer, but regular Blu-Ray doesn't need it, and neither does MakeMKV. Personally, I can't get the blu-ray menus to work...

Hey, welcome to windows phone before WP 7.8 (where microsoft relented, because buttons are expensive, and chasing OEMs was hard if you made them include more buttons than they did for Android)

If you can install git bash, it comes with grep. It's not really a whole linux, but it's kind of a separate ecosystem in your existing filesystem.

I suspect this is more about adding BMCs to NVidia server products than about adding accelerated rendering to emergency consoles.

Not relevant for the OP, but I don't think think this is the case the graphics fused off APUs? 8400F and 8700F say discrete GPU required.

It's a smart move if they've done what they claimed to make their designs more portable to other nodes. Intel 10nm was such a disaster because their fab didn't work and all the in progress designs were tied to the specs for the fab. Thus, an epic pipeline stall. If they have designs in the...

Sometimes games are pulled from shelves for the wrong reasons, and yeah, having a copy of NES Tengen Tetris or SNES Uniracers is good, because they're good games and they got pulled because Tengen didn't have the license they thought they had or because Pixar thinks all unicycles look alike, not...

You probably want your second router to be in 'access point mode', and either dhcp to get its ip, or a static ip that's not used by anything else.

Punk!
