Hello, I am looking for a new dock, right now I am using a Dell D6000 that is hot garbage with Linux and it's "Display Link" driver that's eating CPU like a bitcoin miner. (On Pop_OS at least) So I am looking for feedback about your docks that works on Linux fine. Small thing, I don't have thunderbolt on the PC, so if you have a recommendation, maybe not thunderbolt is needed to reduce the price. So yeah, I'm here to hear about your docks and how you live with them on a Linux distro

This attack needs : frequency scaling and turbo boost off... it's a poor attack with pretty weak bases considering most of HT intel SKUs come with those enabled. In case you want to run the code : https://github.com/bbbrumley/portsmash Also, as a guess, due to the "small bits of exfiltrated data at a time" nature of the attack, cryptography with Perfect Forward Secrecy (industry standard nowadays) might remain pretty unaffected.

Why the hell is there an OS and is it not given as an option... the price goes up at least 50 bucks due to this wincrap... damn I just want a powerful linux box yet there is always that OS bundle...

RNGeesus please make it explode and make Intel and partner allow this officially, changing socket for every Intel engineer's brain-farts has always been a pain in the rear!

Aouch, if I ever plan on using those chips, I better have some shares in a few solar power plants because damn those are thirsty. Also, they now get without pretty much any doubt the "heater" status that amd had a few years back. Though, if the workload or programm used can use the insane SSSE3 and AVX512 (maybe SSE4 too?) IS then the performance would be quite good for the power consumption... if not, those cpus would be too much of a bother to buy and run...

Hello chaps ! Recently, the Blender foundation announced a feature parity between CUDA and OpenCL on their software Blender for the version 2.79. I am testing the rendering results of said version for a free and collaborative render-farm named sheepit. (BTW really cool site, check it out) The concept is simple : render frames for others, earn points doing so, points are used when other people render frames for you. The more points you have, the higher priority your project is when placed in the rendering queue. Right now, only the CPU and CUDA rendering are validated and enabled on the site. If the test results are good and the rendered frames have good quality, then AMD GPU owners will be able to join in and contribute too thanks to the OpenCL capability of these GPUs. If you have an AMD gpu from series 7XXX and after, lending a bit of your computing power could really be useful. How to : First, you should know that all tests are done on the render-farm sandbox and you need the Java Runtime Environment installed, version 7 and up. Download the built openCL client (sheepit-client.jar), or build it yourself, it's open source ! here (branch "opencl", you'll need apache ant) : https://github.com/laurent-clouet/sheepit-client/tree/opencl Then have a look at the instructions linked. If you wish to know more about the project or the details of what the heck i'm talking about, well, you can comment and wait for my replay or come on the "blender" discord server where a sheepit channel lies and I'm lurking on it. come say hi ^^ Thank you for reading and I hope helping ^^ kuzko out. command line to run the stuff.txt sheepit-client.jar

Yup did not look at ARK quite thorougly... and my 235 euros deal is gone.. 285 is now the least I can find ... but I'm curious, can a FCLGA1150 cpu get in a "simple" LGA1150 mobo?

well, for that price I could certainly get a decent Haswell I5 so I don't know... but thanks that's now on my list of possibilities!

See, here is the perfect example of why I'm only willing to talk about performance, in france, the best offer I can find for this CPU model is 235€, not really in the 150$ range

You're certainly right, but my issue is not to wait or not, I'll wait for the good ime windows, but what to choose exactly...

Like I said, the price is not what I'm focusing on, I'll invest what I need, maybe a grade higher just in case, but the performance aspect of the bottlenecking is the most important

Hello guys ! Alright, I got a little bit of cash, It's time I put my time with the crappy Nvidia mobile GPUS and MSI crappy service behind me. I got on the french craigslist an In Win 901(beautiful case) but the internal components are still left out in planning except one, the gpu. I want to do a RX480 build, my only unknown in the equation is what cpu would be decent enough to not bottleneck that card without breaking the bank? I live in the EU, so because the scrapyard market is quite something else here I'm only looking for "decent enough and up" in terms of performance, the price is another thing. If anyone want to share info with me, I'll gladly take it. Thanks and have fun.

You don't, you accept that either the police has way too much power or you accept that some people that journalists are investigating can do bad things. they can't coexist... well except for for white collar banditism that's protected by business laws etc...

Could you please source documents for this? You see, when I accuse Apple of not giving two shits about what happens in china with overworking people in their subcontractors, I can source this : https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/jan/25/apple-child-labour-supply, When you have a claim of someone being fraudulent, you might want to add a source to your claims.

I'm seriously raising eyebrows on this, I did not back the campaign, but they are adopting the same iterative designe process that Frontier has succesfully had for Elite Dangerous. A few parts of the game are already in the hands of the public and will release when ready... doesn't make the point of not overworking your staff to rush a release any less valid.

I fail to see how that's an issue when we see what game that build on hype does, it's only an issue if you fail to deliver, which can be way harder to achieve without feedbock (looking at you ubisoft there too)

Since when had EA any kind of remorse or issue with laying staff off even when they're succesful? cf Maxis... and they are quite a big player. Crunching is a consequence of a project management by time frame, for a fixed release date, and that's pretty dumb. And people taking the toll are not an ideal situation either, so yeah, you need to push back the date to get a finished product by burning a bit of money to avoid this kind of situations. That's the only way I see things get better to workaround the constraints of HR management you mentioned earlier. Yet, what's blowing my mind is that nobody finds this abnormal to keep people you work with healty by giving the simplest thing of all, time.

Than you did not take Hofstadter's law into account... It seems you like eponymous laws, then this one is relevant. Parkinson's law of triviality: "The time spent on any agenda item will be in inverse proportion to the sum of money involved." That's the issue, if you don't spend money on a project at it's start by staffing it, and you get late because you do not give the project headroom, it ain't going to help. Though, I concede that because of the dumb delays needed to survive, that's hard to do a project management through functionality delivery like Frontier does with elite dangerous or RSI with Star citizen.

Art? yeah, you mean the whole thing that's created, sold, used and tossed as a product? I agree we all have a definition of art, and I'm not criticizing the workforce, just people framing the project and their acts. BTW, look at what ubisoft does : a lampost is a person, a waterhose is a person, etc, scalability in mind with multiple studio's worth of work combined. If Naughty dog was constrained, that because they accepted a poorly conceived project. that was someone's job to refuse this to happen... they let it. Being a responsible citizen doing it's duty, not supporting bad behavior in product conception by refusing such thing to exist is a DUTY, nothing else. Though, on the final work, I can alway see that what they did is a pretty looking game.

yeah, and guess whose competitive in this scenario ? underdeveloped country people ... oh wait, there are better things to work for less : slaves, yes perfect society where we are competitive!. You see this reasoning is fucked up right? no? oh well, I'll go fudge myself with notions like "arbeit marcht frei" that seem to be so relevant in those "industries". This kind of mindset is the baseline for abuses in which we can see one here. Let's not forget HR and management not doing it's proper staffing job...

And this seems like an acceptable practice because??? on a side note, I've met a few traders here in France and I know these guys are fucked up : no life until they get out... to compensate they drown themselves in almost anything a classical person would be jailed for a long time for. That's one of the few reasons I don't think I'm fit for this : how to find balance when your life is given to something else to such extent.

haem, yeah or properly staff yourself maybe?

Ok so exhausting your workforce is considered "common practice" by some... yeah, I kinda get to know why US kinda fucked up...

dammit, can't they all work towards a freaking stadard for mxm cards to all have the same layout so they can sell them in retail and we can finally upgrade them. My i7 3610qm is touching itself in the majority of titles and I wish I had a 470 in my system.
