hi
@bwDraco have you considered an internal hub?
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
No--and it's a pain in the butt to remove USB 3.0 cables from the 19-pin headers.
 
Bob
Bob
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
I'm already aware.
 
Bob
Bob
I got the one with a case
magnetically attached to the bottom of my case
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Hmm... that would not requiring detaching the 3.0 end of the adapter cable which might makes things a bit easier.
 
Bob
Bob
4:27 AM
@bwDraco the idea is you attach it to the native 2.0 header
assuming you have one
then you don't need any 3.0 adapter at all
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
The only native 2.0 header supports only one port.
What I can do is reuse the existing adapter connection (which does in fact support two ports) and hook it up to this.
The only thing I was doing earlier was testing the native 2.0 header to make sure it wasn't broken, because Corsair Link (for the H100i v2 liquid cooler) would not work on it.
I don't know if this expects both ports on a 2.0 header to be present...
Yeah. This is a really weird board when it comes to the USB headers.
You know what? I have an unused USB 3.1 Gen 2 header on this board.
Bleh. There's no immediate need for this right now.
pcgamer.com/… (careful, a faulty, probably ad-related, script on this site can sometimes cause Firefox to lock up while using insane amounts of memory)
 
Bob
Bob
5:09 AM
@bwDraco what? is it half a header?
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
@Bob Mechanically, it's a full header, but only one of the two ports is connected. The other has power but no data.
 
Bob
Bob
...wtf
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
This is a really bizarre design decision, I agree.
 
Bob
Bob
@bwDraco send nzxt an email and ask them?
I can check when I get home but I think it only uses one port
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
I can't quite tell which is which.
(as in, which one is connected, which one isn't)
Because the Corsair Link cable was supposed to use the pins the motherboard manual said were connected, but it didn't work.
It is supposed to be part of the ROG_EXT header used for this accessory.
 
Bob
Bob
5:36 AM
@bwDraco Weird. What was your board again?
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme.
 
Bob
Bob
cause mine has the ROG_EXT header which shares pins with the USB 2.0 header
but the USB 2.0 header is also a full 2-port header
:\
@bwDraco Mine is 13 and 14 (USB1314). Yours is 15 (USB15, other one is marked NC).
Looks like the NZXT hub uses both 13 and 14 on mine.
The internal headers that come off it look like they're on 14 -- at least that's the hub that Corsair Link & my front panel ports are connected to.
The external ports (on the hub) are probably on 13 but I don't have anything connected to them right now to check.

Protected Media Path
The Protected Media Path is a set of technologies creating a "Protected Environment," first included in Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system, that is used to enforce digital rights management (or DRM) protections on content. Its subsets are Protected Video Path (PVP) and Protected User Mode Audio (PUMA). Any application that uses Protected Media Path in Windows uses Media Foundation. == Overview == The protected environment in which DRM content is played contains the media components that play DRM content, so the application only needs to provide remote control (play, rewind, pause, and so...

BetchkalI have an answer, but first I want to point out that this is a challenging question for several reasons: For the frequencies of interest we are in the near field, which is commonly defined as distances $d < 2 \lambda = \frac{2 c}{f}$.

@djsmiley2k Good stuff! Thank you for asking- still early days yet I think. Concrete bit under the cabinets dried fast with a combo of fan heater plus dehumidifier plus newspaper (good news). On the other hand, the builder who put in the kitchen came round yesterday and between us we couldn't find what has leaked (bad news).

He also reckons that the floor will need replaced as you correctly suggested; unfortunately because the cabinets are down on top of the floor it's not a half-day job for one, but likely a full day job for two ($expenses++)

A: How vibration sensitive are hard disk drives?

vonjdJust to give some intuition it is often said that you should handle a hard drive like a raw egg - and the point is that you can take this literally! According to this article a raw egg should be able to withstand about 20 G without breaking. Most modern hard drives are able to withstand about 60...

FML Cat
FML Cat
Generally runways with abrupt endings have a run-off area with crushable concrete to rapidly arrest overrunning planes. I don't see it in the picture, but it might be there, either way it doesn't work sideways
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
oh that
I'm guessing one wheel/wing went off, and span the plane round
or just too fast to stop in time
 
FML Cat

If it couldn't stop in time it'd been fine if it just went straight forward

@FMLCat If it was a bird strike... damaged engine and control surfaces? Then again, it was already near the end of the runway, so the engines should've been idling and it should've been slow enough that the wheels would've provided most of the directional control...
weird
pilot panicked?

> 44 °C (111.2 °F) or more – Almost certainly death will occur; however, people have been known to survive up to 46.5 °C (115.7 °F).[17][unreliable medical source?][18]
43 °C (109.4 °F) – Normally death, or there may be serious brain damage, continuous convulsions and shock. Cardio-respiratory collapse will likely occur.
42 °C (107.6 °F) – Subject may turn pale or remain flushed and red. They may become comatose, be in severe delirium, vomiting, and convulsions can occur. Blood pressure may be high or low and heart rate will be very fast.

Human body temperature
Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). Individual body temperature depends upon the age, exertion, infection, sex, time of day, and reproductive status of the subject, the place in the body at which the measurement is made, the subject's state of consciousness (waking, sleeping or sedated), activity level, and emotional state. It is typically maintained within this range by thermoregulation. Human body temperature is of interest...

Q: What's the maximum and minimum temperature a human can survive?

BugsterThis is a question that has been in my mind since I was a kid. I'm not a doctor, nor even a biology student, just a curious person. What is the minimum and maximum temperature a human body can stand without dying or suffering severe consequences (eg. a burn or a freeze)? While at this subject, ho...

human-biology physiology temperature
> A body temperature of above 40°C is likely to be fatal due to the damage done to enzymes in critical biochemical pathways (e.g. respiratory enzymes).

You don't have to be bed bound to die at a rapid pace, you don't have to be bed bound to be hit by a bus for example
You also don't die from man flu
Girl flu or cooties maybe

the bus has to be moving rqapidly to cause death tho

well, firstly it's a case of what do the routers actually show you?
If your ISP hands you a IP via DHCP, you maybe able to see in the log where it changes

nothing there to show your internet dropping...

Yeah, I know. My old router had an upstream error all the time, but I don't remember what it was and this one doesn't show it. Not sure I like the logs on this one.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
5:33 PM
hmmmmmmmmm
some tests to do would be to run a ping test from a computer just to the router for awhile (at least until you see the connection 'drop') to see if the router itself is going offline
and then try the same with some external address (I suggest using googles dns server - 8.8.8.8)
so ping -t 192.168.0.1 then wait til your net drops out
if the ping fails, then the router or connection to it locally, is messing up
if it stays up, then it's maybe further upstream having issues.
 
JohnP
JohnP
hrm. ok. I might have to connect the work laptop to see when the VPN drops and chek and see if the ping interrupts at same time.

I'm at network admin
a lot of our client sites are in stupid places, such as on industrial estates.... and so we see issues when something isn't shielded properly
it's a royal pita to locate too
 
JohnP
JohnP
hrm. Might be a generating station.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
if it's a clean water site, and if they use HV for O3 generation.... then that could cause it
 
JohnP
JohnP
@djsmiley2k It's a generating station, not a treatment station.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
Pumping station?
yea.... could be that :/
especially if the cable runs anywhere near there
tho.... you'd expect other customers to have the same issue (maybe they do?)

No, not a pumping station. Power generation plant to supplement peak loads.

Does your router give you any stats on Signal to Noise ratio

is it a modem and router, or do you have a seperate modem~?

It has an event log, but it's somewhat sparse.
It's a combined unit.

Links to goo.gl/H3QDyC and goo.gl/u6iyMd; used the name of one of my professors and was addressed to me by name.
Oddly, I could not find any analytics data for either link, with the service saying that neither link was found.

Hello,

A number of serious security vulnerabilities affecting multiple CPU architectures were recently disclosed by Google's Project Zero team as outlined in our blog post[1]. In order to address the disclosed vulnerabilities, the physical hardware on which your Linode resides will need to undergo maintenance. This is the first of several separate maintenances that will be necessary to fully mitigate these vulnerabilities. This maintenance specifically patches the Meltdown vulnerability; the Spectre vulnerability will be addressed in a future maintenance cycle. We will inform you of these …
