Escape from Tarkov is self-published. Battlestate Games is both the developer and publisher. You can't blame publisher interference for this.

Honestly contact an IT service company to come in and assist. It will probably cost you somewhere between $3k to $10k but it'll be worth it to get the issue fixed. You can point them to the above post with the information on how to do the recovery if they aren't certain on how to do it.
 
Just remember while an IT professional may have never done something like this before they have the experience to look at the information and have confidence in how to do it and resolve in problems along the way.

Qualcomm has taken a couple of tries at making Snapdragon chips for PCs. This is definitely more promising, though, since it sounds like the company has seen what Apple did and followed suit.
 
With that said, Qualcomm is definitely thirsty here, so I'll be cautious about the Snapdragon X Elite (and X Plus) until we have some testing beyond the company. I don't think any performance gap would be quite as cavernous as some fear, but it might not be an M3 buster in practice. The big question is whether or not Windows and apps have improved to the point where ARM truly feels quick and well-supported.

I got solar on my house this year so I can't wait to see if the sun can keep up with my systems lol

one other did for awhile. zotac i think? years ago.
 

Your claim makes no sense. No one just charges premium and everyone's like "yup, all fine". You earn the right to charge premium and EK has always been the premium brand. Guess what, premium brands charge premium prices. People also forgot how copper prices increased through years and how machining specific blocks simply costs more.
 
As for EVGA, do you realize EVGA was actually making the "NVIDIA" branded graphic cards for NVIDIA back in the day and that it was known as brand with toughest PCB's and power delivery circuits? In similar way how Sapphire has been making "Built by ATi" back then. Also your warranty claim makes no sense. Last thing any company wants is for most of their products to be processed through warranty. It's just absolutely worst for business. Either you lower the warranty period and risk people avoiding your products or you raise the warranty to attract customers with longer warranty and ensure most of your sold products survive warranty period without any need for service. This is the best outcome. But if something goes wrong, users have the peace of mind warranty will cover their expensive graphic card and as far as I know EVGA has always correctly dealt with warranty claims and was actually know to be very "pro consumer" oriented.

My problem with qualcomm annoucements for this platform: this isn't the first time, nor the second, but the third.

Since when is that a "finish" issue? Btw I don't even dislike that look heh. I think it's pretty bold to proclaim the entire range of products is garbage and bad because they don't polish finish areas you don't see and are not part of the cold plate either when everything else is good and additionally some people actually like those tool mark finish (so long as it's patterned nice, eh you get the gist).
 
Not saying it's unfair to expect higher grade finish on those areas for the price though.

Should be fine, I've got both of them mixed, essentially the same drives.

Yes you can, you can do as many sessions as you want on a Pro card and 5 on a Geforce. People have been doing this for ages, if you can't get it working either it's something you are doing or you are trying an unsupported scenario, which btw wouldn't change if you had 100 nvenc encoders on a card since most have 2 already.
 

https://developer.nvidia.com/video-codec-sdk
 
Also real-time encoding aka live streaming has it's own requirements, it has nothing to do with whether or not you can do multiple sessions. Your scenario is also only relevant to client side streaming, server side wouldn't care about any of that and would multi session just fine up to the real time limit due to performance (for live streaming only). But as mentioned requirements for live streaming and encoding in general are different.
 
If you want to ingest a video file and encode it to 12 different output files of different settings then no problem, just let it run.
 
You might want to have a look at this, possibly helpful to you when available:
https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes?language=en_US

Just because it is the default doesn't necessarily mean there isn't another codec source available. Already lots of videos are VP9 and H264 and which is played is picked via device hardware support.
 
Devices that don't have AV1 won't necessarily be playing AV1 source and software decoding.

Has anyone actually signed up?
 
Edit:
Created placeholder topic and signed us up, will update tomorrow after I wake up

Ah, I'm not sure anyone really wants that though. The Pro cards already have no actual limit on number of encode streams just performance/quality limit and they can do over 30 streams per card on Ampere at 1080p/30 high enough bit rate.
 
 
 

 
https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/12.1/nvenc-application-note/index.html

The only real-time transcoding YouTube does is for Live Streams, they don't and haven't done any VOD playback transcoding in more than a decade. I would say ever but I don't know what YouTube did when it first existed.
 
16 versions of a video is absolutely less costly than transcoding, also it's likely much less than 16 versions, more than 10 is unlikely. Compute no matter if it's CPU, GPU, ASIC costs more than storage and it also doesn't scale anywhere near, like 100 times less, than file storage space and direct download.

In what places? A lot of countries have adopted very similar laws, very very few things require by law physical destruction. Medical information here doesn't for example. We are not required by law to have our LTO tapes destroyed but we do anyway by our own judgment.
 
So no you are not commonly looking at physical destruction, the vast global refurbished supply of IT equipment shows otherwise and that even includes server hardware that were once prior used for sensitive data.
 
And if you want examples of data that would be on our tapes, which again we are not required to under any law to physically destroy, would be: Medical data, personal information about minors, military data (low security), confidential industry data, research data published and unpublished, finical data, employee data, security indecent data (digital and physical).
 
I think you are greatly over estimating who and what MUST be physically destroying data by law. Our relevant laws are current and last updated in 2022 and 2023.
 
FYI a lot of countries updated their laws so physical destruction is not required for a lot of thing so they could utilize Azure/AWS/GCP etc. Prior to this, like here, those were off limits although for us sovereignty reasons not data security/destruction.

Since when is that a "finish" issue? Btw I don't even dislike that look heh. I think it's pretty bold to proclaim the entire range of products is garbage and bad because they don't polish finish areas you don't see and are not part of the cold plate either when everything else is good and additionally some people actually like those tool mark finish (so long as it's patterned nice, eh you get the gist).
 
Not saying it's unfair to expect higher grade finish on those areas for the price though.

I have a lot, a lot of EK stuff and have never had any problems ever. It depends on what you buy, I have no AIO's of theirs and don't intend to buy them. What I do have is a huge supply of fittings and blocks from many different build and not ever had Nickel plating issues. And by a lot I mean more than 40 STC compression fittings and another 40 HDC compression fittings, many angle adapters and rotary angle adapters. Had multiple 6970 full cover block, multiple 290X full cover blocks, 6800 XT, Rampage 3&4 BE full cover, Supremacy CPU block plus more I'm likely forgetting or not worth mentioning and all without any issues and all perfectly good quality.
 
This is not to say EK hasn't or doesn't sell products with problems, like any brand could or has. But I wouldn't go around calling literally everything a company makes garbage based off a tiny fraction of what they have ever made.
 
It's also not like you can't find Nickel plating issues with both brands you mentioned in less than a minute, more recent EK plating being sub standard or not it's almost always user error that is the root cause and the quality merely saves your ass or not, or saves it for X amount of time.
 
On the other hand I've had 3 Corsair AIO fail, 2 same reason and the other different but I wouldn't say all Corsair AIOs are trash and I'd still buy them and recommend them.
 
TL;DR Crappily run companies can still sell good products.
 
You mean the same D5 pumps everyone else sources from the same place and slaps their sticker on or the other same place everyone gets their DDC pumps from and slaps their sticker on? Laing/Xylem.
