Some things to be aware of with the Apple Thunderbolt displays (the old ones with the thick bezels): 1) The bezels are THICK. So thick that you basically can't use multi-monitor arms designed for 27" monitors. 2) The displays are HEAVY. Most arms support up to 15lbs. These beasts are 25lbs...

*perks up* Sorry, I felt summoned. Bad car ideas tend to do that ;)

I've got a 4GB and a 2GB drive from college like 15 years ago. I just plugged them in after reading this. Sure enough, I can access my homework. Groovy.

I know it's not a Quadro, but my Radeon W5700 (PRO/Workstation) card has no performance benefit modifying Adrenalin drivers to pretend it's a RX 5700/XT/etc. I imagine it's probably similar with nVidia cards.

That's exactly what it is. There's a theory that an aircraft component COULD potentially operate out of spec, and said component COULD potentially produce inaccurate data as a result. From what I hear (granted, I'm in Telecom, not aviation) it's the FAA being overly cautious. Nobody has been...

I recalled something similar and looked it up. 2001, British guy, called it the "Em Drive." NASA tested in 2016 and showed it worked... Which apparently since has been debunked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmDrive

I have a 2TB Toshiba SATA drive in my 14TB WD's old case. It's being used as an XBox One storage device. Works just fine. So your mileage may vary!

I was expecting that anyway. Going rate for a card these days seems to be directly related to daily returns when mining. 1 year of mining returns = cost of card. So if the 4090 makes about $10/day, I fully expect it to be a bit over $3500.

They do? Admittedly, I've never been after any high-value guns. Mine are always like a Remington 700, or an AR-15, or an old M-1 Garand. Common firearms, and nothing anyone would scalp. For new purchases, I've always walked into the store, said "Gimme that one" or "Order me this", filled out a...

And that's basically what STIR/SHAKEN is. All it does is prevent caller ID spoofing. It says, "We, Verizon/ATT/TMo/Comcast/etc, do hereby certify that the number showing up on your screen IS the originating number." I believe most cellular phones these days can require the flag to be set in...

Eight computers pretty much doing nothing but mining RTM. I am envious of your 100/day.

I completely forgot about that. A legitimately GOOD law, and one that is (mostly) adhered to. Problem is that it’s a US law, so if the company doing the calling is in, let’s say, a “dealership warranty center” in India, they’re still allowed to spam ya. That’s where STIR/SHAKEN comes in. We...

32GB in all of my systems. NAS because I was playing with dedup at the time. VM boxes because... Well, VM boxes. It's the max the mobos will take. Gaming box because it's the smallest amount I could buy the system with. Never seen a game push it over about 10GB, so most of it's wasted. Laptop...
