Umm.. I don't know what to think about this... https://www.anandtech.com/show/14951/the-asrock-x570-aqua-motherboard-review-

Looks like Donald J. Trump is having a bad day at the office... https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/impeachment-inquiry-12-18-2019/index.html

Don't know about what's included on the Pixel 3a purchased, but on my phone (Sony XA2 with Android 9), ~9GB is "system", and ~7GB are "other apps", of which about ~3GB are Google applications (play store, maps, gmail, etc). Applications I've installed is less than 1GB... So 15GB sounds like are...

We had 39C (102F) at 11am this morning, still heavy smoke from bush fires... This is going to be an interesting summer...

This would be funny, if not so true...

Unfortunately the information you're after is buried in user manuals (if you're lucky) or the specification documents. That's your research to do. Here is one example from Tyan: https://www.tyan.com/Motherboards_S8020_S8020AGM2NR-EX If you look at the spec sheet...

That's entirely on the motherboard layout, and nothing to do with the chip... Most motherboard manuals should give you the PCIe lane to physical slot assignments.

Found this list... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d9_E3h8bLp-TXr-0zTJFqqVxdCR9daIVNyMatydkpFA/htmlview?sle=true#gid=639584818

So how come you become the arsehole when you point out others people's really-really-shitty behaviour to them?

I assuming QLD? Then both QPol and QLD Corrective Services should both have and should be able to provide to you the relevant ISM (Information Security Manuals). These manuals should contain the relevant polices and procedures for IS located on prison grounds including provisioning and usage...

We've been hit with another round of fires through out NSW and QLD. We've been covered in smoke for the last 5-6 days (yesterday was pretty good), however on Monday visibility on the main motorway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane was done to 500m (560 yards) in parts... Smoke from the fires...

@LM, you'll need to wait until parts are released before you see any figures...

Looks like the US get to miss out... https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_us/classic-phones (Only 1 model listed vs 15+ models for the rest of the world). Edit: gsmarena links: https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_800_tough-9835.php https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_2720_flip-9836.php...

Looks like Nokia is attempting to revive the "classic" mobile phone, and now has at least 3 new models available in the last few months, including a flip phone... Nokia 2720 Flip: https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-2720-flip All classic phones...

Looks like its California's turn for extreme fires at the moment. Hope all effected are safe...

I agree 100%. I don't know what it's like in the US, but most companies here use what some may consider misleading warranty statements. Most here will advertise a 25yr performance warranty (that is the panel will only lose up to 20% of maximum performance rating over 25yrs), however the panel...

I personally was aware of the issue, and may be more of an issuer sooner-than-latter as many cheaper manufactured panels are on the market that don't have the same life as higher-quality panels. (eg need to replace every 5-7 years, rather than every 15-20 years). Also reminds me of the study...

Only when they get as big as "Shai-Hulud".

Ryzen Pro 3000 released... https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/10/amd-ryzen-pro-3000-series-desktop-cpus-will-offer-full-ram-encryption/ Unfortunately, currently only available to major OEMs.

This is only useful in the situation were you are using your ISP's email service. Typically, the user account/password for both account administration and email are the same, ergo if someone has your password extracted from your email client, they could potentially login into the customer...

It looks like AT&T are updated their authentication technology for direct connections, either: a, update to a client that support OAuth authentication, OR b, create a Secure Email Key and use this in lieu of your normal password when configuring IMAP/POP3 access in your current email client...

ARM has always been about efficiency... and unfortunately underwhelming performance... This changes that viewpoint. The closest I could find is a Supermicro X10SDV-6C-TLN4F-0 for US$699. There is a Supermicro X10SDV--2C-TLN2F-O for US$369 on newegg, but its CPU isn't in the same performance...

Oh, the C&T 65545 datasheet: http://www.phys.szote.u-szeged.hu/bbalazs/bb/lcd/65545.PDF

Are you sure you have the T2130CS and not the T2130CT? According to this, the CS only has a 256 color display, the CT has a 64K color display... I suspect the VBIOS would have limits on mode selection reflecting this. Also the C&T 65545 is nothing more than a glorified RAMDAC, so I wouldn't...

POTS = Plain Old Telephone Service Essentially, the router will include a VOIP ATA in it, and you plug you old handset into the POTS port, and now your phone voice service is running on an IP based service (aka VOIP) instead of POTS/PSTN/ISDN, etc...

Lightning for Thunderbird (which is the calendar component) has come along way recently. I've had no issues with email invites or pop-up reminders in a long time. (I did read of an issue if the calendar is CalDAV based, you need to configure source location of email invites to be sent if...

My thoughts exactly.... I personally use Thunderbird, w/POP3 from gmail, IMAP from Office365, IMAP for another outlook.com account and have done IMAP to several other now defunct email providers (including mailcity.com and hotmail.com pre-MS), calendar sync with gmail, contact sync with...

Yep, she's getting pretty bad out there... My family and I safe for the moment. (We're in the northern most part of the hinterland, north of Tamborine). The daily smoke haze and constant smoke smell is getting a bit tiresome though... Our only hope is for calmer winds, and rain, neither which...

What features of Outlook do you need that's keeping you on the platform?

Office 2007 was the major release where it became the default, but Office 2003 did have XML based document formats (precursors to now standard docx format).

I'm not surprised about not supporting Windows 7 (EOL is 14-Jan-2020), but Windows 8.1 was a little surprising. I can only think of, that Windows 8.1 has already reached End of Mainstream Support (9-Jan-2018), but its EOL is till a few years away (10-Jan-2023). At home, we get Office365 sub's...

?? The actual NAME of the product contains the recording technology ?? 18TB CMR - Conventional Magnetic Recording 20TB SMR - Shingled Magnetic Recording ?? Also super clear in the linked datasheets on the technology being used ??

The way MS are pushing, they want you to use their cloud offerings. A typically small business setup (5-10 desktops), would be a single onsite server (2019EE) running AD, DNS, DHCP and file services, AD is setup in a federated Azure AD connection for backup, email is handled via Office365...

Even that has changed recently... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup?view=sql-server-2017

No, you're not missing anything... If you only need 5 odd instances, then yes it's cheaper. But then you need to maintain those individual instances, vs just 1 shared terminal server environment (in respect to applications, updates, licenses, etc), not to mention memory/RAM load as well. Yep...

Sorry for the late-ish reply, sorry, you'll need to pony up the $$ for Server Standard to access terminal services. RDS is still available in 2019EE, but it's limited to admin only (comparing the registry between 2019EE and Std shows virtually no differences in registry keys around RDS, so it's...

I've done from tablet internal SD card to external HDD on a tablet via USB and it worked fine. (External HDD was formatted exFAT, and used external power). The tablet had ES File Explorer pre installed, so used that to copy. So I don't see why using an external SD card reader + external HDD...

Impressive... The altitude record for a helicopter is 42,500ft, and prop UAVs have reached 67,000ft+... Temps sounds about right (from memory) for that altitude... Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_altitude_record
