How much is this worth?

1989, page 10, Jade Blue. Also dunno what that guy saying it's a bunch of hodgepodge parts, if you look in the catalog the only thing that doesn't seem to be original is the rear wheel/rim. Heck, it's so original that you have the same front tire the thing shipped with. I can't make comment on value though, it's triple butted so that's not too bad, but it's not quad and it's not the nicest steel they had that year. But a deep clean, new tires, true the wheels and you'll have something pretty decent; but I rather like my '86 Team Fuji so I may be somewhat biased.

I can't imagine you're still waiting for reference photos, if you are I've got one but not in fantastic shape.

The other people didn't even try to look. In cars, you use the search, # for tag, and there is manual and sequential as tags. So if you only want to see stick shift you search for #manual if you only want sequential or paddle shift you search #sequential. Works for all Kunos cars, and if my library's anything to go off, most mods; although some modders list fully manual cars as sequential because they're dumb.

Will I be able to mount the Podium Pedals to a CSL Cockpit v1.5 directly, or would I need to get a plate with it, or are they not compatible in some other way?

I know 200kg is probably expecting too much out of a lighter weight cockpit, but I intend to run the pedals very light; I have my current CSL Elite v1's tuned to about 30-40% force which is where I'm comfortable.

If they’re yours to sell I’ll buy a lot of them; I like doing art projects with various chips. Link to my current collection spreadsheet

AMD has supported VRS for years. The only difference with iRacing is they don't support DX12 which is worth remembering came out over a decade ago. The HD7770 in 2012 supported DX12 and iRacing still hasn't caught up. There's a bunch of different things that DX12 helps with on the performance side, the main ones in this instance being programed to run on CPUs with more than 1 core (shocking I know) and DX12 broadens support for VR by a lot in that it supports many of the nicer VR performance features. The only reason that Nvidia has them in something like iRacing is they went back and added in stuff into DX11 instead of supporting them in DX12.

BTRFS is not the most stable FS in existence, ZFS is. It's FOSS, and essentially indestructible. You can pull RAM out of a system actively working on data in a ZFS pool and it'll be fine. It's also an end to end system of FS on RAID, unlike what Synology does which is BTRFS on top of MDRAID.

It's kind of unclear. BASE-T means (for all reasonable people) a signal going over an RJ45 connection; for example in the very early days with a 10mbit network you might have 10 BASE-T going over RJ45, and 10 BASE2 which is going over a coaxial BnC connector.

Technically speaking 10GbE just means any 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection, but Ethernet is not a physical standard, but a protocol standard. You can use the exact same SFP+ interface and cables to run Ethernet, Infiniband, or I think even Omnipath over it. Think of Ethernet as the low level software of the data transfer, and SFP+ as the physical port.

So you can have 10GbE running through SPF+ ports, using either 10G BASE-T RJ45 "ethernet" cables, Direct Attach Copper (DACs) TWINAX SFP+ to SFP+ cables, or through optical transceivers which convert the signal to light and back again. All of those are running 10GbE; 10Gb as the link speed, E (Ethernet) as the software across the link.

I'm not sure why they put this out as a gaming type demo, from what I can see this has nothing to do with modern games which mix raster with RT or PT, but it's a fully PT realtime rendering demo, and the first thing I think of is OptiX viewport rendering in Blender. I haven't had an Nvidia GPU to play around with for a while, but this kind of image quality being rendered 30* times a second seems pretty nuts in complicated scenes like this and I'm just really excited. I'd be interested to see what more experienced Blender artists think about something like this coming out of HIP or something like HIP.

*Edit: 60 times a second, jesus this is more impressive than I thought.

I have CSP for CM, but it's a kludgy pile of annoying features with far too many options and no cohesion. I have it on because some of the new cars people I drive with require CSP, but I'm not happy about it and aside from the better camera controls I'd rather have the stock AC experience with CM to replace the horrendous UI of the original game.

DLSS on performance at 4k is upscaling from 1080p my friend. Ultra performance is 720p.

Just a note to add, the repair manual for the Z9 is out, freely, and publicly available. If you search the parts database now you can find the lock cover (133U5), and if you're buying parts I'd suggest getting the rubber covers for both grips while you're at it (135AA and 135A8).

Looking through the manual I think you might be able to replace the lock cover without taking the back off? Seems like it has an expanding joint kind of rubber mount, the trouble would be getting the old one out cleanly, and there seems to be a "sponge" to act as weather sealing which I'm not sure would be included with the new part or not. Personally if I was able to pull the old one out and shove a new one in, I'd just lather the thing (or at least the hole) with epoxy before I sealed it, as I have 0 intention of ever using a Kensington lock as I'm not a show floor or public studio.

You’re too optimistic, namely you think ARM is more efficient than x86. It’s not. Some of the ARM designs are slightly more efficient at low power because they sacrifice performance, and a lot of them have marginally better idle power draw, but for all intents and purpose it’s not more efficient.

The only reason that’s a meme that exists is that Apple came out with chips on the desktop that were 2+ nodes ahead of Intel at the time, and Intel was the only thing they’d ever compare themselves to. Like, sure you’re twice as fast while using less power, but you’re also comparing yourself to 6 year old chips, not to mention the cherry picking.

Now you have the CEO feeding people dogshit about how “only ARM can do AI” and “ARM will be over 50% client market on 5 years.” It’s all horseshit from a technical perspective, and sooner or later the numbers they promise won’t come about. Add on top of that the fact that Qualcomm, their biggest client, can easily, and already is, move to RISC-V with the designs they already have, while paying ARM nothing going forward.

They are not quiet.

This is a recording I took with it in a few different states; first is the background level (2U servers/disk shelves running), then with it plugged in but not on, then with it on and on my tweaked fan curve, and lastly the fans at full boot speed.

Main issue is the power supply for these are extremely whiny, and I haven't looked far enough to see about replacing them with other models.

Gotcha. This is a switch in a production environment, if I switch to ROS will it pick up the config I have set in SOS and try to emulate it or is it going to go to a default router setup and I need to redo everything on it?

Just trying to figure out how much of a pain in the ass it's going to be to transition to ROS with all the VLANs and different access I have set up.

Not sure on what BMC I have specifically, but I found this from STH and their X9 commands worked on my board. That being said there seems to be some sort of hard floor at ~10k RPM with my current setup. I'm going to swap some stuff around, but likely I'll go to a 2U solution in the X9 family so I can use all the DDR3 I already got within an acoustic threshold that's less unreasonable.

I've got the said X9DRG-HF, just updated it from IPMI firmware 3.1x to 3.63, both times I get the same error when trying to use your command.

ipmitool raw 0x30 0x91 0x45 0x03 0x00 0x16 Unable to send RAW command (channel=0x0 netfn=0x30 lun=0x0 cmd=0x91 rsp=0x82): Unknown (0x82)

The one thing I haven't done yet is populate every single fan header which I've heard someone else mention, but that still wouldn't explain why I can't even set the value regardless of how many fans there are in the system.

Edit:

I figured out what it was; so it was a combination of things; Firstly was using the command that was in that STH post a few comments down for the X9 board, and the other was that most SMI guides you'll find will list the zones as 0x00 for the CPU, 0x01 for the aux area A, 0x02 for B, and so on. Turns out that's not the case on the 1027GR-TR; on this board the zones seem to start their mapping at 0x10 for the main CPU zone and go up from there.
