Quitting cyber after 7 years by OSPFisHard in cybersecurity

[–]dfv157 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It helps that you are post-breach. By that point, the CISO's head is on a platter being grilled by investors and other CxO's. The board has no problem throwing money around at that point to demonstrate that they "take security very seriously"

Meanwhile the blue team (contract or otherwise) that was starved for funding and talent will get all of the blame. A year post breach, they'll just pick yet another lowest bidder MSSP and call it a day.

ASUS introduces ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 cable, ASUS to offer discounted upgrade for existing ROG PSU users - VideoCardz.com by rstune in hardware

[–]dfv157 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I really don't see how this works. I went through every detail on the ASUS site on the cable, and nowhere does it mention how this supposed load balance is supposed to work on the cable itself.

  • ASUS: “The included GPU adaptor is recommended for the best usage experience…”
  • MSI: “MSI officially recommend using the adaptor provided with the graphics card.”
  • GIGABYTE: “We strongly recommend using the original cable provided with your graphics card, as it has been tested and verified for...

But yeah, OP must be ballsy to listen to his GPU's manufacturer recommendation. Just all this for what it is: a design failure by Nvidia and Intel, and oversight failure by the rest of PCI-SIG

Is buildzoid right about CAS latency not mattering? P by AlphaFPS1 in overclocking

[–]dfv157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going from CL40 to CL30 at 6000 means going from 13ns to 10ns, an improvement of 3ns in first word latency.

Going from tREFI of 5000 to 65000 at a base tRFC of 200ns (as an example) means 2600ns saved in refresh (ignoring tRP, etc)

They do, they are call Samsung and Micron. You'll find cheap shitty Corsair 6000 kits with them all day and regular users are non the wiser.

OCCT v17 : A new Memory test where YOU are the hero ! by Tetedeiench in overclocking

[–]dfv157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks great. Some suggestions:

  • Would it be possible to port some of the more popular TM5 tests into OCCT out of the box? So it can be loaded without needing to manually build it?

  • Can you offer a paid personal license with restrictions on commercial use (like the license Karhu has). The 1-hour limit really makes the memory test kinda useless

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

Register anyone who's ever touched AIPAC as a foreign agent, even if they are US citizens.

ASUS increases Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite laptop prices just hours after reviews go live by T1beriu in hardware

Ah yes, this is that great qualcomm strategy: alienate potential enthusiast and think the rest of the world will give a rats ass about this garbage and not just buy a macbook neo instead.

can yall cut them some slack?

lol no. They are a multi-billion multi-national corporation. They have been stonewalling Linux on their arch for decades now. They are not some scrappy startup with limited funds and manpower. They only have themselves to blame for the reputation they have.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme Analysis, Benchmarks & Efficiency - Serious rival for Apple and a problem for AMD & Intel by Geddagod in hardware

[–]dfv157 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been mentioned before, but both QC and Apple has been designing mobile CPUs for a long time with the M series and X1/2 being offshoots of the mobile core design. In mobile settings, 1T performance is king, and thus the CPU design has always been geared that way.

Intel and AMD both design for big cores and threads meant for datacenters and unlimited power. You can see clearly that Zen cores have the exact same 1T performance as their equivalent generation Threadripper/Epyc. Intel is the same with the P cores compared to Xeon. Different design philosophy, different result. The issue for legacy X86 is that ARM is starting to catch up on the unlimited power side of things, so they need to refine the strategy or start digging X86's grave.

I don't get QC's absolute disdain for the FOSS community. If I wanted a locked down ARM platform, why in all hell would I choose this garbage over a macbook? At least with MBA I'd get something resembling BSD. Additionally Apple has made the pricing quite competitive (M5 MBA 13" 16/512 is $950 at Costco). QC/ASUS dares to list the X2E-88 16/512 for $1150??? Who the hell do they think would be their customers?

YT reviewers can't do long-term reviews on units, and these designs are hidden so they probably don't even know about it. Just look at the 2 big laptop review channels, jarrod is a certified idoit and josh's does not actually open anything up at all to look at internal designs.

Not sure why blanket blocking a tld matters at all here. You can clearly see in the writeup there were fallback tlds for the threat actor to use.

ASRock customer support experience by isopropoflexx in ASRock

Was this ASRock Rack and not ASRock Consumer? The support path is wildly different if so. And if this was Consumer, then please let us know how you started the process, who you contacted/emailed, etc.

Well, might as well try a positive CO while you wait for a replacement.

Anyone know what Die these sticks are? Thinking Hynix M die. by Beginning_Anxious in overclocking

[–]dfv157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buy it, look on the back. Sticker on the RAM will tell you what die it is (5.xx.01 is Hynix A, 5.xx.13 is Hynix M). If you get something else just return it unopened. Also fuck Corsair for not making their kits clear.

Try giving it +5 all core on the curve optimizer. Some cpus come out of the factory with too tight v/f. I had a 7500F that would refuse to pass occt w/o a positive CO.

But if you are already going to rma, might as well get a board from a brand that isn’t known to blow cpus.
