Re: Tertiary Education and loans. To give a different perspective, in Australia loans for Tertiary Education is managed by the Taxation department, (repayments are managed as part of your annual tax), were payments are deducted as part of your paycheck based on income over the year (if you so...

Your DIMMs are dual rank: https://www.pic-upload.de/view-33001480/F4-3200C16D-32GVK.jpg.html And if you look at ASRock's page for a similar board: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Taichi/#Specification Under DIMMs, 4x Dual Rank DIMMs is limited to DDR4-2666... (I don't know why Gigabyte...

Out of interest, I can't see to find any numbers from DPRK (North Korea)?

Sucky, but out interest have you confirmed your DIMM Rank setup? I've found that some boards will dictate that for all DIMMs to be populated, that only SR (single rank) DIMMs should be used? (Just double check the DIMMs, their rank and what the motherboard says is supported for your CPU). It's...

I can understand the spec being used in something an Inwin Chopin style case, where you only have the CPU, motherboard, some RAM and an M.2 device attached, but for general DIY builds, it may gain the same amount of traction as the BTX motherboard spec... In some scenarios, it makes a lot of...

In short, the new spec offers only 12V, and if 3.3V or 5V rails are needed, the motherboard is to supply them. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3518831/how-intels-changing-the-future-of-power-supplies-with-its-atx12vo-spec.html...

ArsTechnica have written a summary on it: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/dont-panic-the-comprehensive-ars-technica-guide-to-the-coronavirus/

Looks like most large conferences this year will see cancellation or severe reduction in attendance. I wonder what's going to happen to more local events, like the ComicCons, TrekCons, etc? Will the lack of attendance kill the companies that host these events?

LTT on buying now vs tomorrow...

I don't know what pricing is like in the US, but here it's possible to get a 4L Tawny Port for under AU$20 (1 Gallon for ~$US13), some (non-drinkable) wines are even cheaper (750ml bottle for AU$3.50 when on a sale). Home brew kit ingredients (about AU$20-AU$25 depending on what your brewing)...

Sounds like it might be easier to distill or brew your own for all that effort. (wine/spirits/beer isn't that hard to make yourself).

FYI, json files are plain text, so you open them with your favorite text editor, eg notepad++.

Looks like some analysts are worried about this as well... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/23/investing/stocks-week-ahead/index.html

It's starting to look like the US reaction is to look like they are doing something, while doing nothing at all... Does the CDC not already have policy/plans for this sort of issue? I would hope that they do?

I agree, but it's certainly a non-obvious solution to what should be a default and easily accessible option.

Yet the CDC is saying Americans should prepare for it? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1142556

Is Microsoft losing the plot, or is this just another push towards Windows being PaaS on your own infrastructure? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-wants-to-do-away-with-windows-10-local-accounts/

It's because he was the last "IT nerd" to touch it (even though that was years ago), the failure is his fault, and he now has to fix it... (lots of sarcasm). My guess, family member or close relative.

My guess would be 14.04LTS...

Sorry for the short reply, was in a rush... Anyway, it's most likely a corrupt initrd image or filesystem. If it's a corrupt initrd, simply selecting one of the kernel versions (eg 3.3.13-032) should get the system booting... If it doesn't then you've got a corrupt filesystem. In that case...

The very first screen shot indicates either a corrupt initrd or corrupt primary filesystem... (... filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init ).

Going off on a side topic, with mail/package restrictions out of China now in force (for most countries), how long do we think prices for goods at the local stores will remain as they are? (As stock can't be replenished for goods made in China, what is pricing going to be like in 1-3-6 months)...

Both ESXi and KVM/QEMU support USB pass through (as does VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox on the desktop), but unfortunately there are times when you don't get to choose the hypervisor being used... (eg customer uses HyperV on all their VM servers)... It took me by surprise since most (if not...

One one to make VMs suck less... Support USB pass-through... Note: Hyper-V (even on Server 2019) doesn't support USB pass through, instead you need to rely on an USB over IP solution... :mad:

If the controller supports NVMe, then it should support 4Kn.... I did find Intel noting support for 4Kn on their RAID controllers on the latest chipset and firmware, but... However, I'm not aware of any SATA based SSDs that are 4Kn (all the ones I have in the office are 512e).

I would be very surprised if the disk controller didn't support 4kn drives in AHCI mode... As for RAID mode, I don't even think the Intel RAID drivers support 4kn drives in RAID mode. (At least all drives would have to be the same as a minimum, eg no mixing 512 / 512e / 4kn drives, for it to...

OK, There so there are two issues here: 1. Ability to update the contents of the card from a file (increase the balance). 2. Limited write cycle on the current card. I'll attempt to address both separately: Ability to update the contents of the card from a file. This one is pretty easy to...

This (assuming you can get that level of access to the card), or look at another card with higher write cycle limits. FYI: The Feitian smartcards we use at work have 500K+ write cycle endurance...(and these are the cheap ones). https://www.ftsafe.com/Products/PKI/Standard/Specification

For the morbid: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The WHO has declared a Global Health Emergency in regards to the Wuhan Coronavirus as it continues to spread. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2020/01/who-declares-global-health-emergency-as-wuhan-coronavirus-continues-to-spread/ PS. WHO = World Health Organization.

And I suspect that's why certain authorities are really worried... Is it a case that people in typically what's considered a low risk group are also dying as well? It's just not people in the typical high-risk groups (very young, elderly, immuno compromised, etc).

US CDC numbers: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html Most years indicate 2-3% fatality rate (recent years are up) for those that seek medical assistance. Of all infections, it's estimated at ~0.1%. (Which is what I initially expected, the Australian numbers for 2017 really surprised...

My wife and I have been following it, since due to her complex medical conditions, can pick up cold/flu's easily and working out a plan on how best to avoid high risk groups without affecting our lives too much. As to how deadly it is, I'm no expert, but 80+ confirmed deaths and just over 2700+...

IMHO, your logic is sound... Live long and prosper...

Sounds like a crap thermal design for the laptop... Unfortunately, Intel define Base Clock and TDP as: Which means as long, as all fours cores at 100% CPU utilisation at Base Clock (1.8GHz for this CPU) emit no more than 15W, AND the CPU doesn't fall below base clock under 100% load, then all...

Just like to wish those of the Orthodox Christian faiths, a Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday Isaac Asimov ... (he would have turned 100 today).

Operation went extremely well, but won't know full results for a week. She's pretty much slept most of yesterday, and expect to do likewise today as well.

Just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year... Didn't do anything last night, as my wife was at hospital yesterday having an operation, and came home mid-afternoon...

I sure I am, but when my wife purchased them, the BR versions were double the price and hard to find, where the DVD versions were everywhere and often on sale. Just finished the last 4 episodes of S1, excellent story so far. Does anyone know how closely they follow the books? The mars combat...

Thanks for the offer, but will stick with local copies for now.

I'm only midway through season 1... Have S1 and S2 on DVD....

IIRC, music brainz did have a freedb compatible API endpoint, but it was discontinued about a year ago instead favouring native client support. Best just to try a new ripper with musicbrainz support. (Something that I need to look into myself as the ripper I use (asunder) only supports freedb).

IIRC, The main alternative to freedb is MusicBrainz. The Wikipedia page on musicbrainz has a number of clients that use it instead of freedb, so try one of those to see which one suits your needs best.

Just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy a safe and pleasant holiday period. For all others who also celebrate other events at this time I also wish a: Happy Hanukkah Io, Saturnalia! Happy and Joyful Kwanzaa Happy Constitution Day Joyful Feast of Winter Veil Happy...

So any bets on when the US changes from an Oligarchy to an Autocracy then? Or would a 2nd civil war is more likely?

It's pretty similar here in Oz, the blindness of the party faithful (on all sides) is pretty astounding. I saw an interesting comment on /. about the truth in regards to politicians claims... For every item they claim as their success, can you actually show what policy or program they...

So hows everyone's golf game these days?

Sorry for bringing up the impeachment. (didn't mean to cause conflict). 🥺

The last time I paid $1K for a motherboard was for a quad-socket board... I don't think I could justify $1K for what is essentially a consumer orientated board. It's pretty though.
