Tought of a bunch of tachykomas doing their little learning/scheming at night. We require organic oil !

Well you can still run Windows 11 rev 25H2 on a Intel/AMD 2016 hardware through easily forced upgrade or install (nocpu/notpm), did it this afternoon on an entry level Lenovo lapto…

Thought it would be about feds breaking in because you built a nuclear reactor in your basement while exposing your neighbors to some radiation.

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 201…

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 …

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 …

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 predictab…

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 s…

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 ulti…

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 enoug…

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 i…

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 forgott…

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 / powe…

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 & Th…

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. My…

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 …

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…
