Source: https://www.eteknix.com/ransomware-costs-toshiba-400000tb-ssd-storage Toshiba's NAND production facilities in Japan were targeted by ransomware attacks severe enough to cause production to come to a halt for 3-6 weeks. This is an estimated production loss of 100,000 wafers, or roughly 400PB worth of chips, enough to possibly cause a short term market shortage in NAND and more price increases.

If you REALLY want to go backwards like this.. What I do every time I upgrade my boot drive is to simply clone the old drive to the new one, then I wipe the old drive and put it in as another secondary storage drive. What I've found works best for cloning a drive with a functional OS on it is the free version of Macrium Reflect. Just run it, choose the source drive and the destination drive, hit start, and you're good to go once it finishes. I would suggest not wiping the source drive until you've verified that it will boot from the clone. https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree I had specifically bought Acronis True Image intending to use it for both backups and cloning, but for whatever reason it wont take all of the boot sector, ending up with a drive that the computer doesn't know has an OS on it. Macrium is the only one I've found that works every time, first time. I've used it for all my OS drive upgrades for my desktop, as well as for when I did upgrades to SSDs for various laptops in the house.

The AOC is definitely an option. It's about at the absolute top of what I'm willing to look at for price, but it's an option. I hadn't seen that one, thanks. The LG I'm not interested in. If I wanted a 27" 4k panel that are plenty of options, but I want to go to 28" at least. Seeing a 28" side by side with a 27" at work it surprised me how big the difference actually was.
-
I'm aware it's not a panel type. I said as much in my original post. My understanding was that backlight type has a lot to do with perceptible contrast and color depth.

So, I'm looking at moving to a 4k display. I currently have a 27" Yamakasi 1440p IPS monitor as my primary screen, and want to move up a bit in size when I get a 4k screen, and do not want to go back to a normal TN panel after getting used to this thing. I would prefer a 32" IPS ideally, so I wouldn't have to use so much scaling, but after we started selling a 28" 4k panel at work I realized thats actually a pretty good size, and a bigger difference from 27" than I expected. The problem is, 32" is prohibitively expensive for an IPS, and for some reason a 28 inch 4k IPS doesn't seem to exist. All the 28" 4k panels are TN, IPS only seems to come in 27" (discounting much smaller/larger sizes) for whatever reason. Then I stumbled across this thing.. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RY5T64820 I know QLED is technically still TN, but the contrast is supposed to be way better due to the quantum dot backlighting. My question is.. has anyone actually seen one of these in person, next to a TN panel or IPS? My thinking from how I've heard QLED described is that it would be fairly close to an IPS panel in contrast and color, but I am not willing to drop this kind of money on theory alone.

I did that when I initially posted the thread.

I'm aware. It does the same for me, now that I'm on the night theme, but it IS set to automatic. Like I said, I don't know why it isn't working.
-
It's actually already set to automatic for font color, I don't know why it isn't working. Thanks for reminding me where the theme switcher is though Jito..
-
What's wrong with it? Also.. PLEASE tell me how to switch to that theme.. I'm totally missing something and haven't been able to figure out where I saw the setting.

That just makes this all the more sad.

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.. So, for some time rumors have flown that Threadripper is made of "failed" Epyc chips, as there are only two of the four dies in use, but AMD has finally spoken up to clarify things. As it turns out, two of the dies are inert and do not even contain transistors. Basically, they are just spacers, there for structural integrity and nothing else.

I know this isn't exactly big tech news, but I thought it was funny and interesting enough to be worth sharing. A mall in china has introduced glass "pods" meant for the husbands of female shoppers who are tired of being dragged from store to store. Inside the pods are a chair and a computer with a gamepad set up to play 90s arcade games. Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-40609115

My Thread Did Not Make It On The WAN Show When It Should Have
DiaSin replied to Max_Settings's topic in General Discussion
I want to say, as the one that made that post, I agree completely. As cool as it was to hear my name on the WAN show, I was wondering why it was my name and not yours. I do want to make it clear, especially to the admins (@Slick) that I did not do that on purpose. I even said myself in an edit of my post (within a couple of hours of my original posting I think) that it was an accidental repost, where I had missed the original posting by @Max_Settings when I was going back and checking to see if anyone had already posted the topic before posting it myself. -
Nothing to do with not being able to spell it. I was quoting the original article, which means it needs to be exact. I just couldn't figure out how to remove the formatting after the button for that went away on its own.
