    if putting other people's money into a defective platform is a thing for you, go ahead
    I worked in the business for some time and I would not shove down a customer's throat a brand new uncertified product

    wait a second or two
     
    the original seg fault is a different issue that what the BSD team discovered
    and the original seg fault issue is independent of SMT being disabled or not! new BIOSes have introduced a new option: OPcache control

    but even with disabling OPcache it still seems to occur: https://community.amd.com/thread/215773
     
    the original seg fault was not discovered running Phoronix's test suite but compiling Linux kernel with GCC
     
    please get your ducks in a row

    Yes and I am saying your source is wrong and it's two bugs he's hitting not one. Also your source is quoting another source, that is the source you have actually quoted not the one you linked. Reading the actual issue it is very clearly an issue with SMT so disabling it means it can no longer exist so any other stability problems is something else.

    you deny these issues exists?
    no one has to listen to anything I "say", look at the sources I provide
     
    the segmentation fault is 3 months old and AMD has yet to deal with it in one way or another
    while at the same time they push server and workstation grade products that seem to be affected by the same issues the original desktop parts are - businesses will be thrilled that their new stations have unresolved HW issues

    4 days ago the developers of FreeBSD have issued a report for a new issue they encountered with Ryzen CPUs:
    the issue described has been observed on FreeBSD systems with SMT disabled
     
    ---
     
    remember when me and others told "you" to stay away from Zen CPUs for at least 1/2 y? this is precisely why - AMD is dealing with new arch that is bound to have HW issues and some of them cannot be fixed with a micro-code update
    on top of the segmentation fault, we now have this ... if this turns into a recall, AMD will be severely hit and not only financially

    zMeul got a reaction from Jinchu in Ryzen segmentation faults when compiling heavy GCC Linux loads   
    correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Linux Kernel compiled under GCC? that's pretty fucking big

    Say what you will, but AMD's Zen based lineup is a textbook case of manufacturing prowess and innovation with the intent to reduce manufacturing cost while providing a quality product. They use a single, low cost, die for everything and compete well in all markets they've entered. Sure it's not the most high-end solution, as Intel still has that; but God damn it's impressive what they have been able to accomplish with Zen.

    zMeul reacted to Hawx in Should I get star citizen?   
    A scam is taking the money and running. A kickstarter scam is a project like ZNAPS that appears to work on the project but is really just padding for time to eventually run off with the money anyways.
     
    If a project made due effort to complete itself with the resources it had available, then it's a failure, not a scam. 
     
    SC is currently neither of those as it's being actively worked on. It's a massive project and massive projects have a lot of unknowns and take lots of time. Complaining online won't magically fix how fast CIG can pump out content. Be glad that CIG posts a production schedule in the first place so you're not left in the dark for months.

    zMeul reacted to GoodBytes in HP annonces a new sleek and impressive looking P.O.S system with matching accessories.   
    HP announces a new Point-Of-Sell system for businesses which will be available started August 6 to 9, based on the configuration.
    Now usually, POS systems are not the most exciting thing ever, but this one is pretty special compared to the standard black boring boxes.
     
    Named the HP POSElite G1, the system targets stores and businesses who needs a sleek looking, yet professional, Point-Of-Sale system. The system aims to reduce clusters by minimizing cables visible and needed, while having matching accessories such as a receipt printer and bar code scanner.
     

     
    The system runs Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, and features a variety of configuration, from a low end dual core Celeron CPU to a Core i5 U series latest gen Intel CPU, with configuration going up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and supports up to 1TB NVMe SSD. The stand is optional, and VESA compatible. Features all the needed security features, including finger print scanner, UEFI password lock (of course), TPM 2.0, ability to disable USB ports, Windows Hello and other security features standard in HP business line systems.
     
    The system can be configured to be quite overkill for such system, but it allows all doors open to provide a software solution that is rich for employees to use, or even consumers (example: used in a self checkout system).
     
    The system features a 14inch screen, 1080p. But sadly no information on the display technology. Hopefully, they didn't cheap out on a TN panel.
    The screen is touch screen, of course, but features a anti-glare coating.
     
    If you are not interested in Windows 10 Pro, you HP offers as options the following OSs:
     - Windows 10 IoT Enteprise 2016 LTSB 64-bit
     - FreeDOS
     - SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12
     
    The system, with the provided stand can be tilt, and swivel. And optional base allows no requirement to do a hole in the table to attach the stand.
    If you don't want a separate receipt printer, HP offers a printer built-in into the stand as option, as well.
     

     

     

     
     
    No pricing information, but usually these things, due to the small market, and added businesses level warranty, support and after sale service being much better over consumer grade stuff, the price is not affordable, and definitely not "good value for your money".

    So, if you are considering in opening your own retail business, this HP P.O.S system is, in my opinion, worth consideration.
    What do you think about nice looking P.O.S system? I think seing that many stores tend to use iPads, or Android tablets, or even iMacs as most P.O.S are super ugly, and ruins a decor, i think HP has an interesting product that could sell well is priced right against other P.O.S solutions.

    Wouldn't be surprised if you forgot to connect the pump or connected it incorrectly, considering you basically downgraded your CPU gaming-wise.

    that's not how it works
    AMD has already a small market share CPU wise
    and for AMD to surpass Intel in overall market share they would've needed not only to sell shit ton more than they usually do, they would've needed to sell more than Intel sold for years - and that is just not possible since Ryzen launched, 3-4 months was it
