You definitely want 2 threads for this vM as one will be dedicated to the feeding the GPU and not having one free for the OS will impact PPD as it will be needed for housekeeping in the vM OS and checkpoints for the F@H.
 
You should be getting an average of 120kPPD with the 750ti but that will vary depending on the WU.
 
The temps look fine as do the VRAM (F@H makes minimal use of it).

The comments in this thread makes me fear for the future of humanity.
 
"Yeah a private company using cameras in our homes to determine what we are allowed to do and when sounds good. It's for a good cause after all!"
"I hope this system extends to other things as well!"
 
 
This is bad. This is really bad. This is the dystopian nightmare shit that people used to joke about. We should be against this, very strongly.
 
 
What do you think the root cause is?

Unless the summary doesn't cover it, it doesn't look like the Chinese government itself is asking/requiring the use of facial recognition to track children playing games. They could be, I wouldn't put it past them, they've done similar stuff in the past, but at least the way the summary is worded, it looks like Tencent is going above and beyond what is required.
 
They could've just done an age check, or even ask for ID. I mean at the point where you're tracking with facial recognition, you could pretty much ask for anything and have it be less severe.
 
I'm not going to talk about how badly this can go (One of the best implementations/versions of facial recognition on consumer hardware is Face ID, and that barely recognizes me based off of a reference. Imagine being labeled a child because you're matched with what the software engineer thinks is a child), or the moral implications of this system, they speak for themselves. I'm just wondering why children are being "forced" to play games within a certain period of time by legislation. That's the responsibility of the parent, not a government. If a parent can't parent correctly and lets their 8 year old child play video games until 3 in the morning, that's the parent's fault...

oh crap I swear I own at least a game or two made/owned/something by Tencent... guess it's time to unplug my webcam!

"why don't people just sleep earlier like we should?" - Moonzy typed this as their clock shows 4:11am

The last time Top Gear was in Japan, Jeremy Clarkson talked about their speed cameras, where they require a photo of the person driving. Thus, he used a printed cutout of someone else. I expect many clever work arounds to something like this, in a similar fashion.

yeah but after a week there with be 3 different work arounds for it anyway.
 
You got a small team developing the tech and a billion people looking for a work around.

That and they could just... direct it to a euro/US server and then send it onwards, cloaking it's Russian destination.
 
This whole "Russia/China" digital data scare tactic is just propaganda to make sure we all know who the "enemy" is.
 
In reality, the US and UK are spying just as much as Russia is - they're all being dickheads to humanity.

oh no...how dare they.....
 
are people stupid?
 
 
i will never understand why this is always called out specifically. Why is data being sent to Russia any worse than being sent to any other country?
 
especially for such basic data.

Wow, such sensitive data... the only potentially identifying information would be the IP address and the devs have stated this is only stored for a single day and not shared with other entities.
 
Also this is opt-in, meaning disabled by default, so can we please stop with the senseless outrage? Do we really need a fork just to remove opt in telemetry and then just leech off the main project for feature updates anyway?
Or just not opt in.

Like most things this will likely be implemented only for servers for a long time before it makes anything mainstream. But good to see the concept....... holds water :^) 

I would say that most people probably expect the Intel method when looking at the "better battery" and "better performance" slider, but without looking at comparisons side by side like the, would assume the AMD method is how it would behave on battery anyway.

REvil -> RE Village -> Capcom starting a new side-business?
 
Well hopefully they can figure it out soon.

Zero day or a known exploit being used?
 
If it's known then the companies should be fined heavily, patch your damn software.

Just seen it popped up on the BBC, details are quite thin ATM
 
Huntress Labs, a security research firm are saying that 200 US business have just been hit by an attack being orchestrated by a Russian cyberattack group known as REvil.
The US Cyberattack Agency has acknowledged the attack and has said they're working to address it.
Its currently unknown what the attack is or which businesses are affected. See update 2
 
Update 1 - Looks like its an exploit in a piece of software called Kaseya KSA, Kaseya are telling anyone using the software to shut off their servers immediately and keep them off until further notice.
https://helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403440684689
 
Update 2 - Bleeping computer have released a pretty in depth breakdown of the attack vector, looks like its a supply chain attack that is delivered through VSAs autoupdate feature, it drops a file into a folder on the VSA server then lauches powershell to certutil the .crt file and to extract a fully signed EXE which then runs and encrypts the entire server. Some companies are reporting politically charged changes to registry keys, in one example the default admin user was renamed to DTrump4Ever
 
Ouch.

Thanks @Grand Admiral Thrawn
 
Update 3 - Huntress posted an update sometime throughout my night, looks like the attack hit 30+ MSPs and has now affected upto 1000 businesses in the US, EU, Australia and Latin America.
 
Kaseya have identified and replicated the exploit internally. Still no word on a patch yet.
Update 4
REvil have release a statement on the dark web, they claim to have infected millions of systems and for $70M in BTC they will publicly release a decryption tool. I'm not sure how they expect millions of users from around the globe to collaborate and gather that much BTC though

I'll post updates throughout the day as more details become available

If anything this just validates that Apple is indeed doing a lot for your privacy that can beat Facebooks sly fingers.

Summary
US Army Generals are reporting that drone swarms may be too much for a human to counter.

My thoughts
OMG CHINA I SAID NO ZERG RUSH 5 MINUTES. Regardless, it's interesting to see how robotics is changing warfare. Perhaps, in the future we'll have to study how gamers have previously defended against hypothetical attacks and implement them in a more realistic way. I'm sure that within the next few years, some countries will have a space weapon.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Not something i have a lot of interest in so pardon me dropping in to make a purly lulzy comment the title suddenly inspired.
 
OP, thats some expensive dirt your comparing to.

I hope that because there are so many chiplets they avoided getting too much latency between them. If they do have a lot of latency they should probably look at their glue quality :p.

Bad bot but at least they resolved it quickly and hopefully they updated their bot to take more context into account than just looking for lone words. Also I'm not surprised that extension came from the anime subtitle community.

Well, I would imagine problems to arise trying to fix the disc of an ssd...

Don't worry, all your telemetry data is safe.

Huh... So instead of fixing issues, it just nukes itself.
Sounds like a feature to me.
 
 
SAAAAAFE!!!!
I can add that to my list of why I always do a clean install of Windows whenever they release a big update.
