For B450 two NVMe slots are only really found on higher end ATX motherboards and even then the second slot is limited to Gen3 x2 rather than x4. No idea about X470, never needed to use one.
You’re unlikely to find that spec off the shelf. I suggest you go straight to the custom builders like PC Specialist. Plus you’ll probably need to up the budget for gaming.
I’d dispute that,.
I agree with you, I meant from the Govt point of view. They seem to be U turning on every measure.
1 metre distancing will be in by the end of the month.
These are the masks that were of no medical benefit? Sorry, face coverings.
Funnily enough I just ordered some washable ones to go with the disposable ones I already have in the work bag. Just need some work now…
Interesting.
What about the disk i/o? Have you found a solution for that yet or do the latest NVMe have the brute force to get over the bottleneck?
I’ve been playing around with iSCSI LUN targets on the Synology and (more for security) implemented it as remote storage on the last MoD CCTV project. I don’t know if that would just move the bottleneck elsewhere with regards a VM?
I don’t believe anyone tried to claim that the Roman Emperors were virtuous people we should look up to and be grateful to for their charitable works. We were all taught at school exactly what sort of people they were.
Why should we look up to someone who had children branded like cattle? That’s the answer I’d like to hear from those who defend his place at the heart of my city. It happened, we got over it, he belongs in a museum not on the street.
Looks like the latest dead cat is the statues. Plenty of Trumpian twitters going on.
As far as “democracy” goes, a poll by the local daily paper (10,252 responses in less than three days) finds: “Bristol has spoken – and most people are glad the Colston statue was pulled down.
The majority said the statue should not have been put up in the first place.” I doubt you will hear this cited by the likes of Kit Malthouse or the right wing TV commentators though.It should have gone years ago, or at least have the second plaque put on it, but that was blocked repeatedly not least by Cllr Richard Eddy (who resigned as deputy leader of the Conservative group in 2001 after using a golliwog doll as a mascot). Describing the proposals for a new plaque as “nauseous”, he said any attempts to “unilaterally remove it might be justified”. Of course he now leads the pack of those condemning the actions on Sunday being “horrified by the “rank lawlessness” of anti-racist protesters”.
The straw that broke the camels back for me was finding out the Royal African Company branded men, women and children with the company logo. As Deputy Governor of the company he must have known. As for his “good works”, he constituted his charities to deny their benefits to those who did not share his religious and political views.
Now I know this was all common practice at the time, but this is now and even if you argue we shouldn’t judge him with today’s morals neither should we continue to celebrate him either. He’s in the M Shed museum on the docks, where the Bristol and the Transatlantic Slave Trade exhibit is permanently housed, and that is where he belongs.
You should now be in the middle of the downpour we just had. If you were out that would have given them a good workout.
Yes that’s exactly how they work. It’s not technically a Mesh (a much abused term) but you only have a single SSID. As always it’s the client device that decides when you move from one access point to another but in these situations that’s usually not an issue.
If you have a router with a WPS button setup is just pressing some buttons in the right order, no larking about with web browsers (but that’s there if you need it IIRC).
Heat has always been the enemy and I used to reckon they’d last just over a year before showing signs of slowing down. When proper WiFi solutions became affordable 5 – 6 years ago I stopped using them but rediscovered them in the last year when a quick and dirty fix was needed.
I would still prefer to use a proper WiFi solution but at £40 for a pair including WiFi, and are so easy to set up, you can’t ignore them.
I gave up on Netgear years ago and am pretty much 100% TP-Link for (non specialist) switches and (home) routers. I have quite a few of the AV600 kits out there now. 2 Ethernet ports and N300 WiFi at the remote end is good enough for most uses and £40 is a bargain.
They’re Wipac Storm X blades. Not been in the rain yet but they operate smoothly on a dry screen.
I’ve seen some reviews that say the adaptors are a bit flimsy, I didn’t think so. There’s a universal base that clips onto the blade first then a car specific one clips onto that. They were hard work the fit was so tight and fitted snugly into the wiper arm.
Just watching Matt Hancock on the Sunday politics programmes. There’s so much gaslighting going on you could power a small town.
It now seems clear that following the scientific advice is following that which suits the moment.When asked about the current scientific advice not to ease the lockdown so quickly the answer was, well there are 100 people on SAGE and they all have different opinions. There is an awful lot of talk about “what we knew at the time” which we know from Dispatches on C4 on Friday was exactly what was going on, if they could be bothered to read it or listen.
Got our last lot for the Zafira in Tescos, no idea of the brand (doubt it was Tescos own) and they were fine.
Bought some for the Meriva in Trago Mills last time we were down in Cornwall. I can’t remember what they are either but I’m fitting them over the weekend, so if you can hang on.
Ed – with a non nuclear drive plant (diesel) there’s no steam for the catapult so yes they needed to use one of the methods you describe. To do that the catapult propulsion unit has to live somewhere in an already full up hull. That somewhere also has to be in a specific location. Or you go nuclear or gas turbine, but you still need the connections to the catapult.
So the contents of the hull have to be rearranged, including all the utility supplies, gangways etc. Some modules can’t be moved as they are location specific too. Add to that being modular there’s 4 primary sections being built around the UK then floated to Rosyth, so rather than 1 hull you have 4 with specialist modules being built by specialists in different locations again and being integrated at one of the 4 sites.
Big jigsaw puzzle that needs a new picture with more pieces but in the same frame. The redesign cost a lot in itself. I cant remember how much and it was probably sensitive anyway. The upshot was to do it would cost £2 billion more and add 3 years to each vessel. You have to remember this was very late in the day. We were close to steel being cut and Rosyth being prepared (new dock, new cranes, etc). So the flying turkey it was to be.
Having been part of the Corporate World and seeing how they work, I would imagine the board room of Pivotal thought all they had to do was buy in techies to do the job. Cost, at this stage, not a problem. Even worse they have sub-contracted it adding another link to the chain of responsibility and Chinese whispers of specs.
They will probably have bid low knowing that Politicians will change the goal posts on NHSX who will then receive a big bill from Pivotal – I’ve seen that in action on the Aircraft Carrier steam catapult / no catapult fiasco (diesel engines don’t produce steam so you need a total redesign to put the propulsion method in an already full hull which can’t be made bigger, £2 billion and 3 years delay to go ahead).
Politically there is no way the Beeb can be seen to be useful. You’ll also note that the app is an NHS app and not the governments, because we can trust the NHS apparently. This is the same NHS who’s data is sold for vast sums link
Yes, that’s the question that has been asked more than once, but the “experts” hear it as “has the system genuinely identified me” not how do we verify that the person calling us is who they say they are. A follow question is always denied so we get no further.
They must know that the system is wide open to this sort of abuse and clearly have no answer for it, therefore the question must be ignored.
The BAME report was just a joke. I am getting fed up of just being told what we already know, over promising solutions and fudging any accountability. Any enquiry, like those before it, will be a waste of time as it will be started years after the event, be politically interfered with and come to no conclusions that will blame anyone in authority.
Just going on my previous experience of their track record. Google and Apple bring out API’s that (it seems) the rest of the world embrace. We don’t.
I think it’s sunk without trace given the lack of crowing about it’s success and any usage stats. A shame they talked it up as the answer to everything.
Over promising time after time.
Bob, the others have put their hands up, admitted what they’ve done, apologised and taken whatever came their way (you can’t sack an MP). None of them were given a very public media event to explain their actions. None were shielded by their boss.
Cummings is the complete opposite in every respect and also at the very highest level, it seems higher than cabinet members. He is also the chief architect it seems behind all these rules and sits on SAGE, God knows why.
All we have had is a doubling down on what is clearly a load of BS. We are seeing measures being relaxed too soon in a flagrant attempt at distraction. The other rule breakers are not in this position.
