It's the shape of the power wave when the UPS is on battery power. Normal 120V AC power is a sinewave waveform. The UPS has to convert DC (battery) power to AC.

It can output the following waveforms:

Square - very harsh / most power supplies will not accept it
Stepped Sine - Most power supplies and devices will accept
Pure Sine - Closer to pure AC power
 
Most people are fine with stepped sine line interactive though.

Tbh most trucks look the same tho, i mean design doesn't really matter.
If you want a modern truck with an aerodynamic design you basically end up with a certain shape everyone else will end up with too.

The Ncore V1-naked die cooling waterblock has hit Kickstarter
 
https://twitter.com/OC3D/status/981560424259780608
So there's a kickstarter for this water block that took this TR4 style system to mount not the CPU but the cooler itself:
 
 
Now I will admit: I am mostly an (un)educated viewer here when it comes to this kinds of overclocks. But I actually do know enough to realize that delidding is already kind of a bad prospect that carries a lot of risks. Now if you go beyond that into naked die contact well you're increasing efficiently but multiplying risks. If on top of that you trust the tolerances of the flimsy 115x mounting system and this kick-starter seems to be the kind of thing Linus would love to dedicate a video to. In fact I'm not too sure he isn't secretly just trollingly making this kickstarter himself. Already on it I'm being told.

So how limiting exactly is GPP? Do brands like ROG become nvidia exclusive? Or can companies do something like how asus has ROG crosshair/zenith for amd and ROG maximus/rampage for intel?

How about just Not Safe For Idiots?

"There is absolutely no way that an attacker could replace the firmware and make it pass attestation without knowing the Ledger private key," officials said in 2015. Earlier this year, Ledger's CTO said attestation was so foolproof that it was safe to buy his company's devices on eBay.
 
On Tuesday, a 15-year-old from the UK proved these claims wrong. In a  post published to his personal blog , Saleem Rashid demonstrated proof-of-concept code that had allowed him to backdoor the Ledger Nano S, a $100 hardware wallet that company marketers have said has sold by the millions. The stealth backdoor Rashid developed is a minuscule 300-bytes long and causes the device to generate pre-determined wallet addresses and recovery passwords known to the attacker. The attacker could then enter those passwords into a new Ledger hardware wallet to recover the private keys the old backdoored device stores for those addresses.
 
Using the same approach, attackers could perform a variety of other nefarious actions, including changing wallet destinations and amounts for payments so that, for instance, an intended $25 payment to an Ars Technica wallet would be changed to a $2,500 payment to a wallet belonging to the backdoor developer. The same undetectable backdoor works on the $200 Ledger Blue, which is billed as a higher-end device. Variations on the exploit might also allow so-called "evil maid attacks," in which people with brief access to the device could compromise it while they clean a user's hotel room.
 
Good thing Ledger is french, if it was AT&T this kid would've had the FBI knock down his door in the middle of the night and spend the next decade inside a jail cell.

stealin cars and f***ing bi***es?

Hmm a topic about a backdoor just majorly derailed into going on about how a guy said "schoolgirls" instead of "girls"

My point was they could have left it at girls.

Kinda weird that you specify schoolgirls. I mean at 15 who else would you be with?

The obvious answer is schoolboys? I mean, gay people exist, after all.

Exactly this. I'm pretty competent and have made some nice stuff in the 21 years I've been alive but it's nothing exceptional. Like I've got a freenas server, pfsense router (for my vpn server), pretty decent github profile (most of which is private atm and the remainder is on my own gitgogs server), etc. but while these put me ahead of the majority it's nothing close to what some of these kids are capable of. Worse seeing stuff like this of kids doing impressive stuff makes me feel like I had in some way failed myself.
 
*Gasp* maybe IQ is just like the Dark Side of the Force! It does best if it can accumulate and concentrate in a few individuals rather than being spread over an empire. We need a Darth Bane that'll introduce the order of academia or something

Being 15 fairly recently I can tell you majority are not, at least in Canada, it seems as if number of prodigies are rising while overall IQ is falling

When I was 15 I was using a sinclair spectrum, feeling up schoolgirls, and marveling at the new technology of the time, which was a dual VCR that could copy the tapes.
[edit] Thinking about it I may have been 16-17 for the dual VCR thing... NOT the schoolgirls thing as in my country we leave school at 16, and then I was working shifts and had not time to date
 

Being 15 fairly recently I can tell you majority are not, at least in Canada, it seems as if number of prodigies are rising while overall IQ is falling

You also cant prove that oneself is conscious, people often quote "i think, therefore i am" which is a logical fallacy as it presupposes that there is an "I", that there is such an activity as "thinking", and that "I" know what "thinking" is 
"x" thinks I am that "x" Therefore, I think Therefore, I am therefore concluding with existence is logically trivial

So many questions...
 
1) Why does the Oculus need a certificate to work? Does it use some always-online DRM or something?
2) Why didn't they inform their customers? Seems like a lot of people had no idea what was going on until they found that tweet. They don't even have information about the issue on their website. At least not from what I can see. Piss poor communication.
3) Why wasn't the certificate renewed in time? For my shitty website I have it set up to remind me several times before it expires, several weeks ahead of time. Surely Facebook/Oculus have the skills to set a reminder for something extremely crucial like this.

So the certificate used to sign one of the rifts library files expired today and it means if you own a Rift it won't work until Oculus release an update.
 
You can workaround the issue by changing the system date back to any date prior to March 7th

I wonder why Oculus didn't fix this earlier? Seems like an odd thing to let expire.
 

I still get confused by taxes in the US lol, why don't you just pay them automatically(included in the price) on goods?
Like here in the UK, anything you buy the price already has the 20% tax accounted for.
 
Or am i missing the point and that's what Newegg should have been doing anyway, but they failed to do so?

so I have been doing a computer science course for the last few months and we had an exam, as it is only a part time course we do most the research and work ourselves at home. so to get ready for my exam I watched all of the tech quicke videos (been a fan for LTT for few years so have watched most of the main channel videos) so after a week of watching every video I sat my first exam, today I found out I got a merit (B).
just thought this is a cool thing, and wanted to share it with the community.

Sounds like its time to move up to vacuum chambers, UV lasers, and multi-head etching. imagine a grid of a dozen or more tiny UV lasers in a vacuum chamber over a silicon wafer, light and plasma being manipulated by the tiniest fractions of a nanometer via super strong magnets, and masks (if needed) that are arced, deep, and channeled like those sculptures that are thin planes of metal that can only be seen, and seen thru, from a specific angle

THANK YOU! So sick of this backseat moderation.
