Except almost nobody buys them, even last years for 10 bucks each. That's almost useless ECC Reg memory for HPE Gen 8 servers and workstations (from before late 2015 / start of 2016 with the introduction of the Gen9…
Yep. Don't expect to sell those sticks on ebay at great price. Those new chips will be likely soldered to appliances like low end routers/APs, set top boxes, various adapters, low end systems, PLCs, IPBX, NVRs and…
Well here's goes my self-esteem again. I hate you ! :D (Nice job, seriously)
Not surprised ownership is not cheap in the US. West EU here, bought a new, architecturally wrong (yikes) house in 2012. I knew its conception would spell trouble, and sadly I was not disappointed on this part almost…

Well, SAS disk tend to go in failed state immediately or very quickly, most of the time without going first through the warning state. SATA disk are indeed generally more predictable failure-wise. Most issues are…
Hi, I believe you are quite new to workstation/hardware admin. Lots of things to say here (not native english speaking so basic style, sorry for that) : Disk errors logged in the system event log are from the I/O layer,…
Except I'm no maker. I'm in a midlife crisis stuck between two opposing forces : the urge to make something of my life against the risk of putting too much time and efforts to ultimately fail plus the futility of it…
Arrr. Here's the monthly dose of low self-esteem for all those who struggle to get anything worthwhile done. Currently working on figuring how you get motivated and competent enough as I browse various link from this…
I wrote the BX500 ils easier to find than the MX500, not that it is better. Obviously the BX is worse than the MX, having no SLC cache.
Gotta love Phison controllers then... despite noticeable progress with modern NVMe controllers, I still wish you good luck. Or even worse : Maxio
Agreed, the first gen MX500 with M3CR023 fw proved IMHO to be the second most reliable SATA SSD 2.5" form factor with the Samsung 860 range SSDs (860 Evo / Pro). Sadly, the MX500 is now difficult to find in western…
Very sad news. Crucial Micron is (soon "was") an great brand for computer assembly and upgrade. It is sad to see the brand rushing to the "easy money" stream. This won't be forgotten when the current bubble will…
MiniPCs... Have seen hundred of chinese ones fail. More than half failed between 1 and 3 years. As stated by others, issues are mainly and very commonly with the power stage / power management of the mainboard. Also,…
The inf update indeed almost didn't do anything beside renaming lots of PCI 8086:xxxx peripherals and I/O spaces. To really wreak havoc, play a bit with Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Chipset Participant on…
Will it run on my Pip-Boy 3000 ?
I believe the Oracle 8 SQL Server we used at school in the starting of the '2000 was running on a RS/6000 system on AIX. Nice system, had a good memory from it performance-wise. MySQL was not a serious competitor at…
Even though for REALLY sensitive applications (defence and space), DSP stay the gold standard.
Chuckles. Intel and AMD provide ME/AMT/SPS and PSP respectively on their whole x86-64 CPU range, which are embedded SOC : a CPU (based on quark for intel) and basic OS (said to be from Minix 3 for intel as well), nested…
I recovered a post apo novel written like 30 years ago by a friend last year. Patient : Miniscribe 8425SA 20 MB SCSI hard disk from an Apple Hard Disk 20SC (external SCSI enclosure with a HDD). Hoped the disk was still…
WDDM 1.0 (Windows Display Driver Model) introduced with Vista, indeed came with TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) function for the video adapter, enabling a soft reset when possible. A lot of BSOD were also caused by…
Top 3 : - FPS : Duke Nukem 3D in solo or multiplayer, unmatched fun, terrific background music on a good MPU401 midi card (Gallant SC8000 / Guillemot Maxi Sound 32 Wave FX PnP, better MIDI samples at that time than SB…
I concur : my bank currently offers 1.95% deposit interest's rate for a year (Apr '23)
How the heck do those makers find the time and energy to make such insane projects ?? I'm about wasted after a day of work and in/outdoor house chores.
I understand your point. I mixed background, long term tendancies with on-the-field daily feelings. I should have more emphasized on the long-term tendancy : almost all lights are now red in France (and not so better in…
