Deslumo reacted to GhostRoadieBL in Workers 'being held prisoner' in Taiwan's Microchip Factories
Summary
Daily Telegraph has been investigating labour rights in Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Following Covid-19 outbreaks in factories, management are reported to be bending labour practices and are being accused of discrimination against the migrant south-east Asian workers in Taiwan's factories.
According to one of the discovered internal memos employees are allowed outside for 90min per day and employees must suspend going out with non-Compeq friends.
Labour brokers (commonly found in countries similar to Taiwan in regards to manufacturing and employee rights) are also reported to be scaring employees into submitting to the "lockdown" style work.
One message was quoted as stating; "if you die, your body will be cremated in Taiwan immediately, your family will not even be able to see your body, and your family's finances will be immediately disconnected"
My thoughts
This is a complex and very "sided" story. One side is employees who live in work dorms and work long hours during country wide lock downs and soft lock down restrictions. The other side is employers trying to stay within the CDC recommendations and meet demands during the largest silicon shortage the world has ever seen.
I sympathize with the employees living in dorms feeling "trapped" or "locked down", I also sympathize with the managers trying to enforce CDC recommendations and employee safety with their personal needs.
Personally, I have worked on job sites with dorms and dorm style accommodations for many years. Luckily only staying there for a few months at a time, it's often the more downtrodden places I have ever seen with the filthiest conditions possible. Even after cleaning there are still dozens to a hundred other people who may or may not care for the state of cleanliness of their space and there's nothing you can do about it. This is where I believe the biggest challenge is for both the employees and the companies in the article. If one or two out of a hundred employees makes too many mistakes out in public or ends up contracting Covid, the whole dorm will have it in days if not hours.
That issue can be solved with great spending and often requiring major interruptions in operations for the company which would filter down to an already strained industry.
Thus, it is the fault of capitalism in the form of inequality of employee rights between countries. But that's not a great topic to try and talk about online without credentials.

Deslumo got a reaction from TheCoder2019 in LTT Hard Drive Shirt Spells Out "Linus Tech Tips" in Binary
No idea if anyone else has already had the time or the interest in doing this. Anyways, I'll just post it here in the hopes that anyone who hasn't seen this before is fascinated. I was actually just taking a dump when I noticed this.
Look at the Hard Drive Shirt. You'll notice a that there's Torx-esque stars that seem to be leaving a trail of dots and dashes.
There's a total of three separate 8-bit sequences of dots and dashes. Two sequences are of length 15, and the remaining one is of length 3.
I translated this into binary. Each dot represents a "0" and each dash represents a "1".
Long 8-bit Sequence of Length 15:
01001100 01101001 01101110 01110101 01110011 00100000 01010100 01100101 01100011 01101000 00100000 01010100 01101001 01110000 01110011
Short 8-bit Sequence of Length 3
01001100 01010100 01010100
The long sequence translates to "Linus Tech Tips"
The short sequence translates to "LTT"
This is some great attention to detail done by the merch team, and certainly the most clever thing T-Shirt design I've ever seen. I wonder what other easter eggs are hidden in the merch.

I don’t know what fixed it. I reseated my gpu. Tried to turn it on but that didn’t fix it. Then I hit the reset button on my front panel and it came up to the bios and I was able to boot into windows. Just glad it’s working now.

Deslumo got a reaction from Letgomyleghoe in 5800x vs 3900x
5800X has higher boost clocks, higher stable FLCK and memory clocks, faster single thread perf, better efficiency, even faster multi-thread perf, better branch prediction, pretty much, you name it, it's probably faster than previous gen. The only reason why you might want to go with the 3900X is getting more cores for less. And besides, the 3900X is still a very fast chip.

Deslumo got a reaction from js5836 in Ram Help for my First Build
The Vengeance Pro RGB sticks have tall heatspreaders, so if you're going with an air cooler, be aware of that. Regarding memory, both are fine, you could either try and OC to 3600MHz, or try and tighten up the timings to get the CL16.

If the website says your PSU is too weak, it probably is. I'd get at least 850W, and I'd recommend a 1000W

Deslumo reacted to Oshino Shinobu in RAM in Mhz and Cpu in GHZ
CPUs used to be measured in MHz, but they've generally been consistently in the over 1 GHz range for long enough now where it's easier to quote the frequency in GHz.
RAM's only fairly recently reached the point of the majority of modules available being clocked at over 1GHz. Due to how DDR works, RAM's clock speed is actually half of what you see advertised, which is the "effective" speed and isn't actually quoted in Hz. RAM's effective "speed" is in MT/s which Mega Transfers per second.
When you take this into account, any RAM below 2000MT/s effective speed wasn't actually running at 1GHz, which holds true for quite a lot of DDR3 RAM. It's only with DDR4 that we've reached a point where even base speeds (2133MT/s) are actually running over 1GHz.

Deslumo got a reaction from Dedayog in RAM in Mhz and Cpu in GHZ
Because 3600Mhz sounds better than 3.6 Ghz. I really don't know why one is Mhz and Ghz, but it's probably for marketing. Once DDR5 comes out though, maybe we'll switch to Ghz because it's clocked way faster than DDR4.

Deslumo got a reaction from CommanderAlex in RAM in Mhz and Cpu in GHZ
Also, remember that 3600 is actually 1800 because it's DDR memory, so just think about what would happen with more absurd numbers.
