Why not replace the dc-dc converter? Seems like a much simpler fix.

When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can’t find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.

Clockwise=lockwise

Most hardrives live in servers, as part of storage volumes where IO can be optimised well beyond the capability of a single disk.

For the boot disk on my workstation I am absolutely using an SSD, but for the hundreds of terabytes of largely static data that I need to keep archived? Spinning disks all the way. Not only to SSDs need to match on price, but they also have a long way to come in terms of longevity.

My laymans assumption is that acupuncture likely has a counterirritant effect, which can make pain seem less pronounced.

Sort of like how punching yourself in the side of the head can provide relief for a migraine.

We already did this unintentionally during our natural evolution. All we really got out of it were a group of humans who can run slightly faster on average, and a group of humans who can drink milk as adults without shitting themselves.

I imagine the timeframe to get any noticable results would be in the thousands of years, even with deliberate selection for specific genes.

Linux, most likely.

In the majority of cases, its still going to be stuck under a mangled car that you cant move because it is on fire. A better solution might be to route multiple ‘flood tubes’ to the battery compartment and place them in easy accessible places. That way you would just need to pop pff an access panel and hook up a hose.

The trick is to justify buying one for your business, and then using it yourself after hours.

As a business asset, it has paid for itself fivefold in less than a year. As an employee of said business, i have unlimited access to a machine that I could never personally justify the expense of.

Counterpoint to that, the guy had a known history of locking himself inside those things and trying to escape as a challenge.

Guess I’ll wait for a nice drm-free cracked version rather than buying it.

The kīngitanga movement arose generally out of opposition to european expansion. Groups of Māori determined that if they could unite the disparate tribes under a single leader they would have more power to resist the british.

It only dates back to the 1800s and doesnt have the support of all tribes, but much like the european monarchs they are effectively just soft power figureheads.

Cats require a few nutrients which aren’t naturally present in plants, such as taurine. Fortunately, those nutrients are easily synthesised, and added to vegan cat foods in order to make them nutritionally complete.

The internet banking portal for one of my banks forces a monthly password reset. As a result it is the only bank account for which i have the password saved in my browser, instead of being a nice long memorable phrase that lives only in my head.

Please AMD, revive ZLUDA so i can free myself from the nightmare that is Nvidia.

I would love nothing more, but unfortunately we’ve worked ourselves into a corner where the only way to ditch them at this point would be to re-engineer all of the external cuda-dependent code in house.

Starts off as a caving blog then pivots into a mystery that keeps you wondering if it was real.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

No, much like the ‘trial by ordeal’, in more religious times it was believed that god(s) would grant favour to those who were truly righteous and/or innocent, allowing them to survive an ordeal or win a fight.

It was effectively a verdict rendered by god, rather than the courts.

Is your game completely offline, or does it have automatic updates pushed via steam or similar? If a background game update changed an api call or two in the way it handles graphics, its possible that your current graphics drivers dont support the new implementation.

An ideal system would do a version check for what is installed on your system and recommend a gfx driver update before pulling down such a game update, but our world is far from ideal.
