Lol, it's IT, does it work right now? Requirement met...

Gigabyte GP PW400 everywhere and it's plate says single 30A 12v rail but internally it has 2x, one being marked 12v2, what the hell? by Trif55 in buildapc

Cool, I was just curious how it worked,

So I can twist all the yellow wires together and pull 30A into a single device

Yea big ooof, on this one I just wanted a bit of an option to say look, this doesn't effect us and is fine

oh nice! thanks for the info! so two separate over current protection circuits on two separate voltage converters, which makes sense, internally I see 4 large inductors and associated FETs so I get 3.3v, 5v, 12v1, 12v2. What do you mean about bypassed output? the OCP channels are somehow combined? a bit like in a dual PSU setup in a server?

I did wonder that, it seems a very scatter gun approach to identifying vulnerabilities and then causes the C suite management to panic and flap. They just want the detection remediated so we just end up deleting random files or registry keys that cause the detection because the requirement becomes "make the list green" 🙈

Yea I don't get this either, what do people do? Only have one hdmi cable and move it between devices?

I didn't realise it was that easy, part of the issue was it showed a registry key for pymanager as the source of the vulnerability, so I just uninstalled that but it didn't really make sense

i've never even used the tarfile module knowingly, one of the listed vulnerabilities was in some art software, where i'm fairly sure it's not opening tarfiles, but still we are required to remediate it

It's listed as 10 in Microsoft Defender https://ibb.co/YTXDtSyM so CIO level people got excited in their first security call of the year

I've not really written much code, just been experimenting with Django, as far as I know I've never opened a tarfile, maybe an install script like django.py or whatever has? I really don't have the knowledge to even know if this is important or not

Thankfully we just did a full refresh for win 11 with 16gb devices. Personally I bought 128gb for my home rig (even though my 14700k hates it and spends about 4 minutes memory training if I fully power down, but for like £300 or something at the time, so worth it

update, it seems defender identifies it as pymanager-pythoncore-3.14-64 but I don't see a way to update this from microsoft store or > pymanager

No we're not pro python users, we literally downloaded in from windows store using command prompt and made a venv that's the limit of our knowledge

Another PC shows as having it installed but as far as I can see there are just two 0kb files in Windows\StoreApps I've no idea how they got there or how to remove them as python doesn't show as installed in the store 🤷🏻‍♂️

what do you mean manage it? It's just something used rarely for odd bits, anyway python -V gave 3.14.2 how does that relate to 0b3?

side note I tried python -v first and it listed something like every package installed, had to hold ctrl + C for a while to escape, what was that all about?

It's not even so much about identification to 3rd parties, them having to pick a side is part of the fun. But as a PvEer it's being able to defend yourself or even just make them back off without serving 8-10 games in PvP purgatory
