Lenovo doesn’t list the exact CPU models available, but they do list In the HD 620 graphics, rather than the HD 615 which would be featured on the Y series, so expect the MIIX 720 to offer up to a Core i7-7500U CPU, assuming the graphics aren't a typo.

@HackToHell would be nice to know the charger they were using and the cable were either the ones you get with the phone or high quality or low quality ones

so many "exploding phone" stories don't make any mention of the charger/cable used

that story didn't even mention if it was plugged in at the time of explosion

it's actually quite easy to make a phone explode with poor power quality and a bad charger

@allquixotic Lithium-ion cells do not explode in the sense of detonating with a shock wave. When a cell vents, excess pressure is released through a hole in the cell and while it can generate intense heat and flame, it is not blasting parts of itself at high speed.

Any properly-designed Li-ion cell is not so tightly sealed that gas build-up can cause it to blast apart at high speed.

"Explosion" is a misnomer for this condition.

I'm trying to run this exe (see pic below) from my windows 2003 server

but it just won't start

Journeyman Geek

Could you be any less precise?

Andy K

I'll try to be less precise

I have a windows 2003

Journeyman Geek

also

x32?

Andy K

an old server

ok

Journeyman Geek

nope

there's no x32 architecture in windows

it should be x86

there's a x32 arch in linux, but its a wierd and eidritch thing

Andy K

that's precise @JourneymanGeek

Bob

12:57

@JourneymanGeek probably just shoddy naming

Journeyman Geek

so, that's not right

so the next question I'd ask is "is this an official package?"

Bob

also Server 2003 is ... not supported

Andy K

@bob it was my naming

Bob

@AndyK soooooo, what was the original name?

Andy K

@bob not supported maybe but there are still a lots of 2003

Bob

12:58

cause y'know you can't just rename a 64-bit binary to "x32" and have it run, right?

DavidPostill

@djsmiley2k But you said there's 3 at their desk. Are they on strike, refusing to answer the phone?

Journeyman Geek

and the next question I'd ask if so is which one

Andy K

original name is postgresql-9.3.15-1-windows.exe

I'm trying to launch it

Bob

And what happens when you try to run it?

Andy K

@bob nothing

Bob

12:59

Until further notice, I'll assume your computer just explodes.

it just refusing to start running

Journeyman Geek

there are other install.exe types that can run

too

@AndyK Does it appear in task manager / process explorer / process hacker?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek yea, that sounds like the one he grabbed

Andy K

but the postgres one and some others are refusing to start

@JourneymanGeek as Bob said, this is where I got it

Bob

at a glance, I'd guess the Windows Installer tooling on 2003 simply doesn't support that version of MSI packaging

Andy K

@DavidPostill nope for the 3

@AndyK see, this is essential information we shouldn't have had to guess.

@JourneymanGeek sorry I'm knowledgeable on some of the things but not everything

@AndyK this is the basics of "how to ask people for help"

this is basically like walking into a shop and telling them your thing isn't working

maybe it'll issue an error

Players engage in urban planning by controlling zoning, road placement, taxation, public services, and public transportation of an area. Players work to maintain the city's budget, population, health, happiness, employment, pollution (land, water and noise), traffic flow, and other factors.

@Leathe LGA 1151. They will work in existing Z170 boards but you'll miss out on features like Intel Optane memory support.

Optane uses?

Dec 30 '16 at 17:15, by bwDraco

The most obvious of them is to use it in Intel SRT to accelerate system performance with SATA or TLC NAND-based PCIe SSDs.

Dec 30 '16 at 17:19, by bwDraco

The other possible use case is to use it like any other storage device for handling particularly I/O-intensive workloads.

Dec 30 '16 at 17:28, by bwDraco

Photoshop users, for example, can use the Optane memory as scratch space. Video editing applications can benefit similarly. For workloads that would otherwise place TBs of data a day on the main SSD, Optane memory, with the ability to sustain petabytes of writes with ease, can be used as an application-managed cache or working area for a variety of other applications.

allquixotic

I'm rewriting history so the Germans win WWII on Veteran difficulty - instead of breaking their pact with the USSR, Germany invites the USSR into the Axis alliance. That's one big shift. The second shift is the Germans enact Plan Z, building extremely high-tech (for the time) surface ships, making them the superior naval force in the Baltic Sea, English channel, North sea, and out to the Iberian peninsula.

and since Germany doesn't have an eastern front anymore -- Poland has been divided between the Soviet Union and Germany -- they can focus 100% on the west

Also I'm pretty sure ~~2016~~ 2017 UK doesn't have a large enough standing army at home to fend off 50 divisions of the late 1942 German Heer and Kriegsmarine (Army and Navy) showing up in southern England, just a few kilometers from London

and this is a more advanced version of Germany's actual 1942 technology, with more like 1944 tech... more reliable and faster tanks, better organized, field hospitals, logistics, recon, integrated anti-air and anti-tank, rocket artillery, etc

it's going to take 350 transport ships to move these 50 divisions to Dover because they're so heavy... all that extra equipment adds weight

A bit of a bizarre experiment regarding my external SSD: I've been playing around with using it as swap space for my tablet (using root, of course). It works, but performance isn't great (not unexpected) and the power consumption (SoC load + USB) is very high, hence the Y-cable order.

With some tuning in the kernel settings to discourage termination of other apps, I am seeing poor responsiveness but I don't have to wait for apps to re-launch. Firefox is also much less like to discard background tabs.

WHATEVER Dave

@bwDraco: Tried zswap yet?

bwDraco

I already have zram enabled. However, I've purposely given the external swap higher priority.

WHATEVER Dave

ah cool cool

bwDraco

I'm using my tablet in place of my laptop so mobility isn't my highest priority right now. It takes a rather clumsy power setup to keep the tablet charged, requiring a Y-cable with one end attached to a power bank. I also needed to install an app to take a partial wake lock to prevent it from turning off the SSD when the screen is turned off.

It's really more experimental than practical as it breaks one of the assumptions Android makes, but it can prove useful at times.

I think I should tune the zram to not be so large. The system never manages to fully utilize it and the device pretty much locks up before it can be fully utilized. Maybe I'll drop it to something like 300 MB, and give it priority over the external swap...

WHATEVER Dave

interesting, ive never attempted to do what you've done. Although ive always had bad perf with filesystems on USB in general.. not sure if its mount options related or if its the type of filesystem itself but sometimes its just darn slow @ transferring files on to and off of.
