@MichaelFrank that is what i would figure, so i was digging to see.
I know places like Rage3D and GUru3D have spent much time discussing messing with a PCI-E type cards firmware, and FLashing specific firmware in both ATI and NVIDIA , so i think the answer is yess.
Only in specific ways, like to overvolt it and undercool it, things not really attributed to drivers but control of the GPU using the driver as the middleman , like michael said.
A year ago I found out that my ex husband had a different network in our house .. it may have been a vpn I'm not sure.
Anyhow the night I caught him .. he quickly dragged and and dropped files into some software
I remember one note was up.
What ever he did ftp'd /exported all tracks and traces of...
Sounds like a job for SE_Relationships :-) because it would take 1/2 a book to describe all the ways that a person in charge of both computers could control it all.
Grab your data , reset the thing back to factory completly, get new husband, carry on :-)
" Does anyone have any idea of what some of the things involved were ?" uh yea software , the net , just the usual :-)
Nowdays I cant even see people asking questions like that, when for years they wanted to control everything , and have everything via wireless , all crossing up things eveywhere. So then Skynet arrives and they are like "Who Did This To Me?"
LOL thats what YOU wanted, make up your mind.
"well i do not want it any more" "just leave all the cloud computing, the gps tracking, the tower tracking, the remote desktop , the remote file operations, The google tracking of every action, and remove the rest" :-)
@MichaelFrank yes that is what the wiki says 1st gen a-GPS and sencors Wi-fi. 3rd gen cellular models also. The Minis both wit cell and sounding mostly like phablets.
I have a software application that continually writes files to disk at high speed. Each file is modest in size (less than 10 MB or so), but they are created every 1-2 seconds underneath a specified parent directory, say, /data/. That directory might look like:
/data
/data/subdir1
/d...

Timezone looksl ike it would be perfect. But if you're going to be supporting devs in their use of your product... you might wanna pick up at least a bit more programming knowledge
I hate the anemic 16 GB storage of the S5's internal NAND -- probably the cruddiest feature of the entire phone. Hell even my lowballed Droid Maxx had 32 GB internal o_O
@Bob heh... I've got spare resources out the wazzoo on my desktop now :P strangely enough, with the RAID card's Write Cache disabled (for data safety), I was getting pathetic performance in VMware Workstation running Windows Server 2008 R2 and doing installations and updates in the guest... I turned on Write Cache and it flew
worse, the saturation of the VM was starting to increase disk queue length on the host somewhat, which made it difficult to play games while updating :P
/firstworldproblems
write caching -> VMware updates the .vmdk file, calls sync(), and the RAID card's SDRAM says "kay, got it! ;-)" until it batches a bunch of writes together, then it pushes them all at once to the disks
no write caching -> VMware updates the .vmdk, calls sync(), and the RAID card takes that one little write (maybe just changing one .dll or something) and causes the disk heads to move on all four disks
that seems to be the general problem with hardware RAID: you absolutely must either have extremely stable power, or a UPS, or a BBU, or one of those fancy new RAID cards with a built-in micro-SSD as the cache... if you have none of the above, and you disable write cache to be safe, dithering around within the innards of a single large file (like a VM disk) causes horrible performance
especially when the hypervisor tries to sync every goddamn change to the physical media
I just decide to be the crazy-haired mad scientist and disable write caching anyway, with only the "very stable power"
anyone know if this card can run on x4 PCIe 3.0? that's the only slot I can fit it in without bringing my second GPU down to x4 by putting it in the third x16 slot
my current 6405E uses 1x 2.0. R9 280X gets x16 3.0. HD 7970 gets x8 3.0. I have a 4x 2.0 and a 16x 2.0 slot. If I stick something in the 16x 2.0 slot that tries to take 8x, *all* my GPUs only get x4 :/
