    565465464 reacted to RedSpade in Hacking airplane possible?   
    Sorry to burst some peoples bubbles but this isn't possible. It is possible to confuse a pilot to making the error but not the actual plane.
     
    This is because the autopilot and wifi/inflight network aren't connected in any way and also because all planes (regular public transport ones that are being discussed i.e. 747, A380, etc.) have multiple autopilots and when they don't agree with each other then the pilot takes over and flies the plane by hand.
     
    Edit: I reread the article and all I think the person has done is make the plane think it's somewhere else which wouldn't "hijack" the plane as the autopilot's use more than just GPS to determine where they are (i.e. INS - modern day gyroscopes with lasers). This in turn would just result in the aircraft not using the GPS systems and the pilot would control it by hand.

    Save your new .txt file. Then rename it: getip.js
    Now make another new .txt file and paste this into it:
    cscript getip.js >ip.txt
    Save the file and then rename it: GetIP.bat
    Run the .bat file and it will create a .txt file called IP.txt which contains your 'internet IP address' or external IP address.

    Not yet, I am still working on my storage system.
     
    You can build your own offsite server and back up to that, if you want to. That should give you better speeds.
     
    The reality of it is that this kind of activity requires dedicated connections to get good speeds on -- I doubt that they have a total network capacity that is much larger than 10 Gb. With thousands of users backing up, you should expect slowdowns.
     
    Even large companies experience relatively slow connections, unless they pay out the nose for dedicated lines.

    565465464 reacted to asquirrel in [Extreme Tech] Sony has developed 185TB tapes, yes, those tapes   
    @Fooshi: So...every large company has tape backups. Google and amazon...I'm not so sure. But Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Fidelity, Walmart, Target, JCPenny, Autozone, etc. All of these companies have tape backup. Why? Three reasons. Friction (from management and 'the way it was previously done'), cost (even at 5¢ per GB for SATA, the storage arrays you'd need, power and cooling, floor space, etc, make it prohibitively expensive), and regulations (government rules on data retention).
     
    Most IT orgs whose heads aren't shoved so far... destage backup data to hard drives as an intermediate step. So...around 6PM at night, assuming 6pm-6am is their slower time for business, the backup jobs kick in and start writing the backup data for that night to spinning disk. There are a few companies that sell solutions for this, Data Domain is the only one I can name off the top of my head. Anyway, you destage the data to disk because it's WAY faster than writing directly to tape and then you write from those disks to tape over the next 23 hours (it shouldn't take 23 hours, but that's your window before the next day's backups start).
     
    As for why use tape? Because it is, bar none, the most dense form of digital storage available. It's also cheap. The tape head unit (read/writer) costs $7000-15000, depending on what you are buying, and yes you have a storage array that has 12 or 24 or them, but really, 200K, and another $100-300 per tape, to get something saved that will last you at LEAST 50 years sitting on a shelf? Yes please?
     
    Tape *is* innovative. The innovation just isn't as whiz bang as iphones or new multicore CPUs. The innovation is on the magnetic layer, how the heads write the data to the tape itself (the physical layout of bits to maximize density). New amplifier and high-gain antennae designs to read ever-fainter magnetic fields. New materials for making the tape out of that not only allow for tighter magnetic fields, but also weaker ones (the weaker the field, the more closely together you can pack the bits).
     
    I understand *why* you think tape is a dinosaur, but you are sadly mistaken. Tape is still very much needed by corporate business. Small mom&pop shops don't need tape because tape becomes cost effective past a certain economy of scale. Once your company has a PB or more of data, tape is generally a *very* attractive backup option from a cost perspective. Possibly even sooner, depending on retention rules for the specific data you are saving.
     
    edit: Also, yes, a fair bit of work does go into ensuring that the new tape read/write units can read the previous format or 2 of data, giving you time to migrate your data on older tapes to newer ones, just in case you need that data and the read/write units aren't made anymore.

    I think your main problem might be Windows updates. They are probably consuming lots of bandwith. The only soloution I can think of right now is to get yourself a pfsense box as a router and use Squid on it. There are probably other ways to solve it too.

    565465464 reacted to alpenwasser in max temp for mech. HDD?   
    ^This.
    Unless you go above 50 C for prolonged periods of time it's nothing to worry about.
    The optimal temperature range is between 35 C and 45 C though.
    Google did a large-scale study on this a few years back, and as helping has said,
    they found that age is the primary HDD killer, not temperature. It's a very interesting
    read, I highly recommend it (also, they did it with normal consumer drives, not
    high-end server stuff, so the results are applicable to normal users such as us ).
