    Demonking reacted to Zodiark1593 in Ransomware claims first human death, an infant during birth   
    Given the life-saving nature of the equipment used, there would probably be a strong argument for having them air gapped from anything connected to the internet. This would greatly reduce the surface of attack.

    I love the irony of 4Chan users calling another community a toxic cesspool.

    This option was not there when I had Nitro. Always Animate was unavailable.

    they could make a setting for that. "disable automatic avatar playback" or something like that

    I got 3 months off free Nitro from Epic and within those free 3 months I got the YT premium from Nitro. 
     
    Now I at least know how useless nitro is... what's the point of having animated avatar of it doesn't play automatically and you have to hover mouse over it?

    So that's why they offered free 3 month of YT premium with Nitro?

    Demonking reacted to mr moose in Meltdown-like vulnerability found in AMD CPUs   
    I can guarantee AMD's response time to release a mitigation will be on par with Intel's if we scale for only having to deal with zen Arch's.   Intel had to deal with all processors going back a decade or so simply because their product was good enough to build on and refine for so long. If anything the fact AMD succumbed to the same type of exploit given this exploit was theorized to exist way back before they started designing these CPU's means AMD's desire to give you a less secure product for the sake of selling CPU's is just as  shit as Intel's. 
     
     
    Anyway, as I said in the last thread about this,  There is no difference between AMD and Intel when it comes to security and exploits.   All we know are the ones they have disclosed,  the ones we don;t know about are the dangerous ones.

    Demonking reacted to Arika in Meltdown-like vulnerability found in AMD CPUs   
    No it won't, people's responses to Intel's vulnerabilities was never about how they handled it. It's always "lolol another intel vulnerability,  glad I'm with amd" and the like, putting amd on a fake pedestal of security.

    Just when you think you're safe on AMD.

    Demonking reacted to dizmo in Poor Soldering, Not Amazon, Killed 24 EVGA RTX 3090 GPUs   
    Guess you completely missed the "one of many" 
    Other companies have issues as well. It's not like EVGA is the only one to experience them. Plus their warranty is second to none. I'd rather know that the issue will be dealt with without jumping through hoops.

    EVGA is one of the many reasons I have no real desire to try an AMD card. They should be at the top of everyone's purchase list.

    Lol, really?  That's your comment?
     
    How about how Fractal is doing what's right?  It's not like no other company does this but it's definitely a good thing to see, so that we don't get complacent and just get used to Gigabyte and EVGA bullshit.
     
    Happy to support them with product purchases, wish they had come out with their PSUs before I bought this EVGA piece of shit.
     
    Good stuff.

    Demonking reacted to Master Disaster in Ok you absolute legends, Youtuber Karl Jobst exposes corruption and shill bidding in the used retro video games market   
    Its a scam because the grading company and auction house are personally invested in the games prices being high and are using fraud to create a bubble so they can sell their own assets for much more than they're really worth.
     
    Its classic investment fraud (allegedly)

    Demonking reacted to LAwLz in Intel's Skylake, Sandybridge architect Returns to Lead Client Chip Development   
    No it doesn't.
    Jim Keller is probably a great engineer, but this is a classic example of making a few banger products and then people will think that everything you touch turns to gold.
    He worked along with a bunch of other people on some products that got successful and that's what he is remembered for.
     
    In the early 2000 he worked along hundreds of other engineers on the K7. He wasn't even the lead developer (Dirk was), and the K7 was mostly developed by engineers from Motorola. 
    Then he became the lead architect for the K8, where he worked with hundreds of other people, for which he often gets credited as having created x86-64 (despite it being written by far more people than just Keller, such as David Christie, I-Cheng Chen, Ramsey Haddad, Bruce Holloway and Kevin McGrath to mention a few).
    Then he had a bunch of years where he wasn't really in the spotlight. Some years at Broadcom, some years at P.A Semi, and then he had his other big hit the A4 something like 7 years later. 
    Then he worked on things like the K12 at AMD that didn't lead anywhere, although Zen did (which I should add was the collective efforts of thousands of people, not just Jim).
    Then he worked for Tesla for a couple of years without seemingly having any major impact there.
    Then he worked at Intel for a couple of years that doesn't seem to have amounted to much.
    Now he is at Tenstorrent and we have yet to see where that leads.
     
    What I am trying to say is that Jim Keller is most likely a great engineer (you don't get employed at Apple as VP of engineering if you aren't good), but to say that everything he touches turns to gold is a big overstatement, and the big projects he did work on were not his work alone.
     
     
    Did she do that, or did the engineers that actually worked on the products they sell raise them from the dead? Did she raise them from the dead, or did for example Intel's issues with 10nm and TSMC's sudden lead in process nodes raise them from the dead?
    You say that you don't want to give credit to leadership because they always bang on their chests but that is exactly what you are doing right now.
    You're accrediting the collective work of thousands upon thousands of people to a single person going "look at how great Lisa is for raising AMD from the dead".
     
    Lisa Su might be a great CEO. I can't really say one way or the other, but to give her credit for raising AMD from the dead seems to be exactly the kind of BS I am sick and tired of. Giving a single person the credit for the works of other people.
    It's only natural for people to think of Lisa Su as AMD since she is the face of the company. When AMD is doing well people think Lisa is doing well. The problem is that AMD has over 10,000 employees. Lisa Su is not AMD. AMD is a collective of over 10,000 people. When AMD designs a good processor it's not Lisa Su who designed a good processor. It was the thousands of employees at AMD that did.
     
     
      
    Yes, and we should thank the thousands of engineers at AMD for that. Not Lisa Su.
    Stop giving management the credit for what their workers achieve.
