@MichaelFrank don't want the mess of having a dongle / receiver nearby and all those wires... so much easier just to wear a headset. I already have Class 1 BT headphones; they're just flimsy-plasticy cheapness that is Beats. I want better build quality :P
@____@ A possibly very old or transonic (not supersonic necessarily, just near enough to cause excessive noise) jet just went by overhead. I'm right beneath an airport landing flight path so I usually hear loud jets but that one left a loooong, roiling trail of sound like thunder for about 60 seconds
old jets' turbofans (or, worse, turbojets) make that kind of sound; newer ones have sound dampening / muffling equipment
the new 737s, you can't hear at all unless you're outside. I'm inside and I heard this huge rumbling
Was looking at different boards - some boards, like the ASUS Strix ITX boards, cannot use the processor graphics due to a lack of graphics outputs.
The ability to use the processor graphics is paramount.
But... I have some VRM-related concerns.
Power on this board is 6+1-phase. The AM4 platform has separate power phases for the CPU cores and the rest of the SoC (including any processor graphics). One phase for Vega graphics... is chancy.
The problem is that putting an SSD in that slot is tantamount to placing a graphics card in the second PCIe slot. This means my GTX 1080 Ti will be limited to PCIe 3.0 x8.
Having to do this temporarily is not an issue, but I would not want to put an SSD there on a permanent basis.
Since the system already has an NVMe SSD, any further slots would either have to use the graphics lanes or go through the chipset.
In fact, this would not be possible on a B350 board because it does not support bifurcation of the PCIe graphics PHY.
(AIUI there's two PCIe PHYs on the Zeppelin die, each technically capable of 16 lanes, but on AM4, only 8 lanes are available on one of the two PHYs and that is already set up for the chipset and NVMe; the other PHY is fully enabled and is intended for use with a graphics card(s))
Technically, there is one other M.2 slot on this board which hangs off the chipset, but accessing it would require removal of the main M.2 heatsink (and therefore the graphics card). While technically capable of PCIe 3.0 x4, its bandwidth is shared with SATA and some USB ports.
@bwDraco eh, mine are all shared (over the same DMI link). when I said "shared" earlier I mean using it actually disables two SATA ports because it also uses the same HSIO lane(s?)
It's starting to get very annoying to have to take a knife to my feet and slice off dead skin every few days. It's bothering me so much that I have to do it this often.
@jokerdino cause they (or their claims) are currently the laughing stock of the infosec community troyhunt.com/…
> Cisco informed us that the ACE product line was discontinued several years ago and that they won't provide an update. Still, we found plenty of vulnerable hosts that use these devices.
These devices don't support any other cipher suites, therefore disabling RSA is not an option. To our knowledge it is not possible to use these devices for TLS connections in a secure way.
However, if you use these products you're in good company: As far as we can tell Cisco is using them to serve the cisco.com domain.
I have a female coworker (superior technically but in another department.)
We've worked together for about 4.5 years and have been become pretty good friends, we'll always chat in the kitchen at work and occasionally see each other outside of work for drinks or whatnot.
Recently she confided ...
she just came up to me laughing saying "did you ever do that thing in school where you pull the chair from under someone as they try to sit? i did it to my old boss..."
Basically situation is this: guy forgot his password and he wants that reset. He's ok with loosing the data. But I don't have Windows ISO around, so would like to avoid losing OS
It's not even our laptop. As far as I know, it belongs to guy owning office centre we renting, he came to my boss with this and my boss dumped it on me. FML
Now I can get back to fixing database where constraints were accidentally disabled about half a year ago and it now has 2k rows of corrupted data. And of course I must save everything. Yay.
