Saw this review this morning... We've had a few Intel and Samsung M2's at work, and it's pretty much a either/or with either brand... https://www.anandtech.com/show/12349/the-intel-ssd-760p-512gb-review

I know (in Oz) we're getting a lot of mixed stories about it, ranging from the US gov is now in free-fall unable to service it's debts (at a federal level) which may lead to another great depression for the US through to business as usual except some federal employees are now effectively on...

Anyone here directly affected by the US gov shutdown?

I guess you won't be buying a new system for a while. From what I've read, the full impact of Spectre isn't known yet, so mitigations will take time.

FYI, Meltdown patches for Win10 being released today, patches for Win7/8.x released as well, but expected to be widely deployed next Tuesday. Patches for some GNU/Linux distros are already out (all my Arch Linux boxes are patched). (kernel 4.14.11 includes initial patches for Meltdown, distro...

There (reportedly) is a POC for Spectre that runs via javascript on Chrome that extracts details from other running processes on the system and displays them in the browser... Could mean possible leaks of username/passwords for online sites (banking, social media, etc). Could mean attacks...

Intel list for Meltdown: https://security-center.intel.com/advisory.aspx?intelid=INTEL-SA-00088&languageid=en-fr Looks like my ancient Atom N570 powered netbook is safe from Meltdown at least... What's interesting is, the above list shows no Pentium4, Core or Core2 based CPUs (these lack the...

IIRC, exploits for AMD are only theoretical at this point, as no proof of concept code has been made available. are a lot harder and some POC has shown AMD CPUs to be affected by Spectre. Note: There are actually two items going on, one is a deep flaw in the OOE (out-of-order execution) engine...

Details of actual products are now becoming more available: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12207/intel-with-radeon-rx-vega-graphics-core-i78809g-with-31-ghz-base-100w-target-tdp-overclockable

Happy New Year to all...

Yes, but since there is no guarantee what you actually get (exact model/firmware) in each laptop (they only provide based on size/capacity), IMHO it's fairly meaningless giving out scores... Most range from 3.5GB/s down to 1GB/s depending on the device, chipset, CPU and OS combination. (Not to...

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...

I'm guessing budget... Agree the XPS 13's are nice machines, as well as the 840's. I would go the 840 over the XPS13 mainly due to screen size.

Probably on Diego Garcia, performing maintenance on a Boeing 777...

The most interesting aspect is how this will affect the international community? eg Internation sourced traffic destined for US Based data-centres and even for transient traffic that crossing US soil, Japan/NZ/Australia traffic going to Europe... Will it break the Internet, not a chance... but...

With the massive rise in BTC value, has anything changed in regards to the cost/benefit ratios with mining techniques?

Thanks guys, yep it's been a long time here (and also on SR as well).

I wonder if they will release a Quadro version of this card? From the Anandtech link, the Titan V has less memory bandwidth, less total VRAM and less L2 cache per core than the equivalent Tesla V100... (With the V100 missing the video out components).

And my sister got engaged to her long time boyfriend yesterday as well... (He proposed on her birthday).

My 10yr wedding anniversary yesterday....

nVidia Titan V announced... RRP is just under US$3,000 https://www.anandtech.com/show/12135/nvidia-announces-nvidia-titan-v-video-card-gv100-for-3000-dollars https://www.hardocp.com/news/2017/12/07/nvidia_titan_v_3000 No reviews currently...

As someone who isn't far off at getting a new phone myself (digitiser is dying on the touch screen), I've been looking around as well... I was looking at the Nokia 6, Sony XA and Moto G5S. (low-mid range price bracket). I'm just having a hard time justifying spending $$$$ on a phone that lasts...

Damn that slim fit style...

No over-eating Thanksgiving day turkey involved?

My wife purchased some head-bands (on Etsy) from a young lady in Chicago. Took 3 days to transit from Chicago, to LA to Sydney Australia... 18 days from Sydney to be delivered to us... (We lost tracking when it got to Sydney, as Australia Post's new tracking system will only show local parcels...

As a flow on effect, what will happen to the price of these IoT devices and things like Smart TV's, etc? I don't see most people being effected on the PC/tablet side of things (due to the slow replacement rate), but more of the everyday appliances that all seem to want to have some "smarts"...

Intel has hired AMD's former head of the RTG (Radeon Tech Group)... https://hothardware.com/news/intel-hires-former-amd-exec-raja-koduri-to-spearhead-high-end-discrete-graphics-products

Doubtful, as I would expect most HEDT setups you see would use dedicated gfx cards... (may see some of those chips in a Skulltrail NUC though, eg situations where Intel are using the Iris Pro GPU and there is no room for a dedicated GPU).

I'm wondering if part of this deal is for Intel to head-off the newly release Zen based APUs (Ryzen 5 2500U, etc)? Or to take on nVidia in the SOC space for laptops/tablets/portables? Obviously having a SOC or very tightly integrated package will be cheaper for the ODM/OEM to fit out any...

I just installed a new Intel CPU today, both the documentation with the CPU (retail kit with HSF) and motherboard both had diagrams with warnings about common issues...

Likewise... I thought that technique was common knowledge?

I think he means mixing 512n, 512e and 4Kn drives in the same array... If it's software based RAID or something like ZFS/BTRFS, then it shouldn't matter... If it's hardware RAID, well that'll be up to the firmware of the controller to decide.

I've switched to Chromium (OSS version of Chrome) on my devices since like many others become unhappy with the direction FF was taking... Still using Thunderbird, but considering it's mostly complete, I don't see much need for further development of it. And in some respects I'm happy that...

FYI, my Epson printer had a firmware update the day after the public release of the issue...

TP-Link's response was what I would consider typical... Let's EOL a whole stack of devices, and claim no support for them since they are now EOL. (Only current models/revisions for each current model device are set to receive updates). From what I've seen this sort of behaviour will affect...

My first Opteron board (Tyan K8W) had AMD chipsets. The main problem with the AMD-8151 AGP chipset was that is was very picky about the card you used, and towards the end it was noted that you had to use cards that were native AGP and not those that used a PCIe to AGP brigde (eg most GeForce...

Updated list of vendor responses: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/list-of-firmware-and-driver-updates-for-krack-wpa2-vulnerability/

The real interesting thing to come out of this issue, is watching how vendors react to it... It certainly makes you really consider where to spend your money in future... (eg only start purchasing from those that are proactive in getting this fixed)...

US CERT vendor database re: WPA2 flaws https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/byvendor?searchview&Query=FIELD+Reference=228519&SearchOrder=4

That's pretty much what I gathered reading the original research paper. Let's see how long it takes for all the network gear providers (Netgear, DLink, Sagecom, Technicolor, Cisco, TP-Link, etc) to release patches for any wireless enabled devices. It'll be interesting to see when all those...

Researches have discovered flaws in some TPM implementations that allow attackers to acquire the RSA private key... Research paper: https://crocs.fi.muni.cz/public/papers/rsa_ccs17 News article: https://www.hardocp.com/news/2017/10/16/cryptographic_flaw_within_infineon_tpm_chips_announced

The site about the issue and links to research papers... https://www.krackattacks.com/ Microsoft, OpenBSD are already patched (or have patches available). MikroTik and Ubiquiti have beta firmware available. Android will have patches with 2-3 weeks (but who knows when end devices will actually...

Yes, as the brewing process doesn't break down the lactose present in the milk. Therefore depending on your level of intolerance, I would suspect you would have a similar reaction when drinking it. https://alcohol.stackexchange.com/questions/69/does-milk-stout-actually-contain-lactose

IIRC, MS has said that Windows 10 will be the last discrete version of Windows, and all future versions will simply be updates to the platform. https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-version-of-windows Considering both AMD and Intel have developers for both the kernel and...

Is Coffee Lake a rush job? I would wait for the errata to be published to find out... FYI: 7th Gen spec update + errata https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/7th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf From the doc, it would appear that some 8th gen CPUs...

They all used different sweeteners in place of sugar. Diet Coke - aspartame Coke Zero + Coke Zero Sugar - aspartame and acesulfame potassium Note: Coke Zero Sugar is just Coke Zero rebranded due to a slightly different mix in sweeteners used (which lead to a slightly different taste). Coke...

But the name clearly says "No Sugar" ? Wouldn't that imply that it contains no sugar and uses an alternative sweetening agent instead?

That would be the cancer inducing artificial sweetener they use...
