    BOOZy got a reaction from TheCherryKing in Will windows server 2016 work with amd threadripper?   
    If Windows 10 works, Server 2016 works.
    At the level (kernel, drivers, PnP, etc.) that it matters, Windows 10 and Server 2016 are exactly the same.

    It looks like, just maybe, the end could be in sight for those having PCI Passthru problems with platforms like UnRAID and the Zen core CPUs...

    BOOZy got a reaction from 8uhbbhu8 in Dutch DPA: Microsoft breaches data protection law with Windows 10   
    Edit 1:
     
     
    Source article on the Dutch DPA website.
    This article is a follow up on the announcement of the start of investigations by -aside from the Netherlands- Germany, France, Hungary, Slovenia, Spain and the UK.
     
    Looks like half the EU is on Microsoft's case about telemetry collection.
    The EU wide data protection directive that was enacted in 2016 enters into force on May 25 2018.
    So even if Microsoft conforms (eventually) to national laws, they will have to conform to the more strict EU directive in 2018.
     
    Edit 2:
    To elaborate.  The first and second links go to the official press releases from the Dutch 'Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens' which is the agency that watches out for the consumer's right to data protection.
    They have the authority to fine offenders.

    BOOZy reacted to minibois in Asetek Patent Invalidated in the Netherlands, Likely EU-Wide Impact   
    I was looking for some more info on this, but unfortunately was only able to find this Dutch article on it (by Tweakers.net, one of the biggest tech news/reviews site in the Netherlands):
    https://tweakers.net/nieuws/129815/rechtbank-verklaart-octrooi-van-asetek-voor-waterkoeling-ongeldig-in-nederland.html
     
    (The Danish company) Asetek sued Coolermaster for patent infringement with their "Nepton 120XL", "Nepton 240M" and "Seidoen 120V Ver.2" (I'm gonna assume they meant Seidon with the latter one) and demanded they stopped selling these watercoolers. In response Coolermaster (Europe) said Asetek's patent was invalid, because, according to Coolermaster, they were already producing this sort of stuff in 2003 in China.
    According to the court, this Chinese document already outlined the use of  a 'water pumping motor device with chamber', which made the Asetek patent not a new thing, thus making the patent (in the Netherlands, because Dutch court) invalid there.
     
    For anyone that cares, this was the Asetek patent the case was about: https://data.epo.org/publication-server/document?iDocId=7978852&iFormat=3
