And then there's the case of the officer with "You're f****d" on his personal (!) gun who recently was acquitted after shooting a drunk unarmed man who was sobbing on the ground

TamalesRancheros

I Belive this is true
because they are experiencing a stresing situation so it could happen
but they train alot to avoid this

djsmiley2k

use a robot

fly a drone in after a stun nade

bertieb

The video from the latter one is pretty harrowing- there's pretty much nothing the guy could have done to avoid being shot

@TamalesRancheros Aye, stress is cited quite a lot- and police in the US (and elsewhere) do face life-or-death situations non uncommonly

But death of unarmed suspects seems to be becoming a more frequent occurrence

TamalesRancheros

@bertieb maybe because they feel curiosity or experiece to kill someone idk

bertieb

Of course over here it's different, we have private security firms killing people who are being deported

djsmiley2k

19:07

i for one welcome our robot overlords

@bertieb its rarer

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Thankfully aye

More armed police police about though, only a matter of time before mistakes are made

Well, again

Death of Jean Charles de Menezes

Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes (pronounced [ʒeˈɐ̃ ˈʃahlis dʒi meˈnezis] in Brazilian Portuguese; 7 January 1978 – 22 July 2005) was a Brazilian man killed by officers of the London Metropolitan Police Service at Stockwell Station on the London Underground after he was wrongly deemed to be one of the fugitives involved in the previous day's failed bombing attempts. These events took place two weeks after the London bombings of 7 July 2005, in which 52 people were killed. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) launched two investigations. Stockwell 1, the findings of which we...

djsmiley2k

he ran...... into a tube station :/

bit differeent to someone sat at home playing cod

bertieb

@djsmiley2k The person who was swatted wasn't either of the two involved in the dispute

According to his family, he didn't even play games

djsmiley2k

oh ffs

bertieb

Aye

I don't know why I read the news

welp. Tried again with OBS recording Assassin's Creed Origins (x264, CRF 20). This time, the CPU is overclocked (Ryzen 7 1800X at 3.95 GHz), and the game is set to a 60 fps cap in an effort to stabilize frame delivery. It works okay but there is still some stuttering.

djsmiley2k

are you giving it core affinity?

bwDraco

@djsmiley2k Game was set to run on 12 of 16 threads.

djsmiley2k

and obs set to use the other 4?

bwDraco

Not sure if limiting it to the first CCX (8 of 16 threads) would help a bit more.

@djsmiley2k OBS (x264) needs more compute than that.

djsmiley2k

dang

I saw a linus media group vid about this problem

bwDraco

19:20

I'll probably be looking into this more.

This might result in better use of execution resources (and therefore higher IPC) because it would avoid the need to traverse the Infinity Fabric across CCXes.

Why his hands are like always orange!??

djsmiley2k

o_O

they are?

bwDraco

Now, with Threadripper, you'd have more than enough compute resources, but I would probably use NUMA mode, putting the game on node 0 and OBS on node 1.

TamalesRancheros

is he like a mutant carrot or something? ajahahaha

djsmiley2k

19:25

I'm not seeing any orange hands

TamalesRancheros

Maybe its time to change my screen...

bwDraco

@TamalesRancheros Get a colorimeter.

TamalesRancheros

welp maybe im not that blind

I use this:

@TamalesRancheros Doesn't look orange on my color-calibrated monitors.

Hmm... odd.

Not in the image above, but in the linked Reddit post.

(I use the colorimeter with DisplayCAL, though, and not the stock software)

djsmiley2k

@TamalesRancheros there, they are orange

i sense shaninigans

bwDraco

19:34

@djsmiley2k 8 threads makes the game stutter like crazy. There seems to be some weird contention for core resources, because the game still sees 16 hardware threads and expects all of them to be available.

In fact, I'd rather trust the Windows scheduler to do the right thing.

djsmiley2k

@bwDraco stupid :/

I was wondering if exactly that was going to be your issue

bwDraco

(AFAICT, Assassin's Creed Origins uses 12 threads, because that's what the in-game performance tools report, and because there were no major issues aside from slightly lower FPS when 12 hardware threads were assigned to the game)

Michael Frank

@TamalesRancheros Even his lips and eyebrows are very orange in the screenshot from that thread.

Pichi Wuana

I just realized that in my course I mentioned before, it asks me to have a machine where I install Windows Server 2012 R2. I have Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion dm4 laptop and a Mac with the OS High Sierra. What would you recommend if I need Windows 10 for some other purposes? I can't exchange the Windows 10 with the OS I mentioned...

I thought about asking in server fault but thought it wouldn't get well accepted there...

Canadian Luke

20:22

What is your issue?

Pichi Wuana

I feel I need another computer for the server I want to have but I don't want to spend money in this, neither deleting my OS Windows 10 and everything I have there

Canadian Luke

Then virtualize

On my laptop, I ran 4 copies of Server 2016 and 2 copies of Win 10

Plus, the host OS

Pichi Wuana

I thought about that, but I need on this OS server: Hyper-V...
So I thought it could get complicated.
(I always used Virtual Box and just realized there is something called Hyper-V)

Canadian Luke

Hyper-V is better than Virtualbox if you want to do anything fancy... Or, you know, speed...

It's a type-1.5 or type 1 hypervisor, so the VMs run closer to the hardware

If you install the Hyper-V Windows Feature on your computer, it replaces your host OS with Hyper-V, and auto boots your host to the hardware

If you're doing lots of OSes, and they're Windows based, they can take advantage of dynamic memory, so they're not all running at 2GB of RAM at the same time

Pichi Wuana

The Host Machine needs to be Windows Server 2012R2, 16 GB RAM, 50GB hard drive. And it will with hyper v have 4 virtual machines.

Canadian Luke

20:32

How much RAM do you have on your main computer?

Pichi Wuana

What would you recommend I do for achieving this?

Canadian Luke

Either use your main computer (temporary), or spend between $300 and $1000 for a home lab setup

What is your goal? Is this course for a certification or for schooling?

Pichi Wuana

I think it has 16GB of RAM, but I could check to be sure. My goal is just for: fun / learning new stuff. I started it and it seems very interesting what I'm going to learn

Oh I checked it now and it is actually not at all 16
It says "Installed RAM: 4.00 GB (3.80 GB usable)"

So this isn't a very serious project. Thus I don't want to spend too much

djsmiley2k

20:58

u running 32bit?

Canadian Luke

Must be....

Anyways, you can use Hyper-V if you're on Windows 8.1 Pro or higher

Or, if you want to do it full-bore, download the Hyper-V Server ISO from Microsoft, install that, then boot up a client OS and add any server OSes you may want

Pichi Wuana

@djsmiley2k 64bit

Canadian Luke

@PichiWuana Really?

Pichi Wuana

Yep lol why? And x64-processor

Pichi Wuana

21:28

@CanadianLuke The mentor uses 2012R2 and there he has the hyper-v. So you mean to put hyper-v in windows 10?

Canadian Luke

Check that your version of Windows is also 64 bit... See if you have a folder called "C:\Program Files (x86)". If you have that folder, you're running 64 bit Windows. And that's fine, you can put Hyper-V on Windows 10 as well

Pichi Wuana

Yes I have it

But the mentor "sets up the machine" in the server manager

Something I don't have in windows 10

Canadian Luke

You can install it. Search for "Windows 10 RSAT tools"

You have lots to learn, young grasshopper! :)

Michael Frank

Hell, even IT pros have a lot to learn.

Pichi Wuana

hahaha yeah :) I appreciate your help

Michael Frank

21:42

I had to show the sysadmin at one of my MSP sites how to install a windows feature.

Pichi Wuana

@CanadianLuke I got a message which says The update is not applicable to your computer.

From Windows Update Standalone Installer

Canadian Luke

Click on Start-> type "winver" and press Enter. What is the full version information?

(And about the late replies - I'm at work, so ping me so I hear that someone is talking to me)

Pichi Wuana

@CanadianLuke Version 1511. That means I need to download WS2016? I downloaded WS_1709

No problem

I downloaded x86 instead of x64 lol

Canadian Luke

22:05

OK, so 2 options:

1. Download the Windows 10 1511 version of the RSAT tools; or
2. Upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10

Pichi Wuana

@CanadianLuke It worked when I downloaded WS2016 for x64 (Before I tried both versions but for x86)

Canadian Luke

You'll need 64-bit if you want to use more than 4GB of memory, typically

Pichi Wuana

22:26

Hmm

Interesting then how it is in mine

@CanadianLuke When I got the server manager, I didn't get the tab for Local Server (the left side where Dashboard and All servers are). The mentor did have it 🤔

Canadian Luke

Use the tools inside of it. THey should install under the All Apps menu under Start. Look for "Windows Administration Tools", and use those

Pichi Wuana

@CanadianLuke Hmm, I don't understand what you really mean.

Canadian Luke

You're trying to install Hyper-V, or you already have it installed?

Pichi Wuana

@CanadianLuke I still don't want to install Hyper-V. I want to enter in Local Server but I don't have it

Burgi

sigh

my girlfriend's chinese friend spent EIGHT FRACKING HOURS FRACKING SHOPPING

we left him to it for 5 hours then ended up spending 3 hours sat in starbucks waiting for him to decide which umbrella to buy his grandmother

Journeyman Geek

22:49

Lol

Tell him to go to boots and buy a black one.

Canadian Luke

You won't, unless you have a Server SKU installed (which you don't if you're running 10)

Manage your OTHER servers from it

Burgi

@JourneymanGeek dude i nearly punched him

he was on the chinese version of whatsapp asking his mother

and his mother was trying to go to bed

TamalesRancheros

wechat something like that
So woa his grandma was in china???

Burgi

@TamalesRancheros yes

he is visiting my girlfriend

he is very rude and odd

even taking into account cultural differences

for dinner we were in a french restaurant and he gobbles his food down, stands up throws £10 on the table and declares that he is going to the nearby take away because he is still hungry

TamalesRancheros

disgusting....

so no manners at all

Burgi

23:00

he appears to have lost them since he was a student learning english

last night he wanted a tour of the city and to see traditional english pubs

TamalesRancheros

basically a tour to get drunk?? hahaha

Burgi

pretty much

i invited my friend who is an official city tour guide to join us and give this chinese guy a personal tour

he spent most of the evening ignoring my friend and openly playing games on his phone

TamalesRancheros

i know it will sound ... bad ... but don't you think he is enjoying a little more freedom in comparison with china...
i'm sorry i had to take it out of my mind

Burgi

maybe

TamalesRancheros

ajem...welll hope alll works out good for you
i mean it coulndt get worse

Pichi Wuana

23:08

@CanadianLuke hmm in other words, I don't have it because I don't have a Server-OS?

Burgi

yeah, i know

luckily i can have a lie in tomorrow and not be anywhere near him

the downside is i can't be near my girlfriend either but... meh...

Canadian Luke

@PichiWuana Right. It's meant for administering servers, not client-OS systems

I mean, you CAN use those tools against a Windows 10 system... But not all of them. Basic ones, like file shares, event viewer, etc

Pichi Wuana

23:25

@CanadianLuke I see. The problem is that for installing Hyper-V I watched a video where I need to add roles and features to the local server. But I don't have a local server so it tells me there are no servers in the Server Manager server pool

Canadian Luke

23:36

That's how you add stuff on the Server SKUs only. To install Hyper-V on the Client OSes, go to PC Settings -> Apps -> Turn Windows Features on or off, and select it in there
