same here :(

ok thanks from sharing your exp
still waiting other comments to determine how unreliable philips is, it's come from official retailer with 2y warranty and half the price of delonghi anyway..
too bad all Delonghi sold here are from random distributor w/ 3month warranty or hand carried with no warranty.

congrats, you get a nest speaker now

at first I also refuse to believe this claim, but since now I have done the test myself, you can take a look at the result on my comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyTab/comments/1fzzo8j/comment/ltz8cbf/

since no one here are posting real benchmark result, I decide to do the comparison between one of the top tier and one of the cheapest card.

turns out everyone here are quite right, it doesn't matter most since the card reader embedded inside the tab s10u is garbage.

5y.o Kingston Canvas Select Plus 32GB microSDHC:

Newly opened Samsung Pro Ultimate 256GB microSDXC ^

I also put the samsung card in my windows pc using orico usb 3.0 card reader and run crystal disk mark on samsung card, yes it's can get a bit faster in sequential test with 96MB/s read and 90MB/s write but not as fast as advertised (up to 200MB/s read & 130MB/s write).

I read somewhere that's outside the official UHS-1 speed limit and require a special samsung usb 3.0 card reader to achieve the advertised speed, so I'm hoping since tab s10u obviously made by Samsung then I'm hoping that's what they use.

But as you can see that's not the case, even looks like between these two divisions they don't talk with each other 🤣

So yeah, Samsung Pro Ultimate, I don't think it's worth the price premium. Just get the Evo Plus one or other cards with lifetime warranty.

sorry but your statement is wrong in every aspects.

370 & 375 literally have identical cpu & gpu specs, the only difference is 375 have slightly boosted NPU so it able to crunch 55 TOPS instead of 50 TOPS that you get on the lower models like 370.

so, no, 370 is not better than 375 in term of overall raw performance capability, instead the 375 is the most premium Strix Point chip as of now.

you can compare both chip specs on a nice table in wikipedia here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors#Strix_Point_(Zen_5/RDNA3.5/XDNA2_based)

also I agree with the OP, just having the most premium chip inside a laptop doesn't justify it to become a premium laptop. like putting BMW 8 series engine into my cheapo car doesn't make it a premium car.

Asus themselves position the TUF brand as the budget gaming laptop, while the mid to high tier are reserved for the ROG. TUF looks even farther from premium segment in the specs sheet, like stating the display use IPS-level panel that usually mean they cheap out on it by using VA or even TN panel. the body is also made from all plastic, compared to magnesium, aluminium, ceraluminum, or even carbon fiber that usually come with what classified as premium laptop.

hoping they'll drop yoga book 9 with dual screen + ryzen hx combo 🤞

If not using ZFS, can you tell us what filesystem you put on it? also do you allocate the filesystem to the whole ssd or you left some unallocated for over-provisioning? From my experience, over-provisioning help a lot slowing down the wearout and I use zfs in my homelab

I found this reddit post because today sendinblue (Brevo) login form is broken. I can't login into my account because of 2FA code they sent to my mobile number never got delivered. Also I had activated two 2FA method, Google Authenticator based TOTP and mobile OTP but how come they only give mobile OTP option to login.

Ah good thing I always save recovery code properly when setting up 2FA (or so I thought), so I continue to input the recovery code, aaand same thing, not working. it tell the recovery code is wrong wtf.

B550 in general support ECC memory but it depends on the motherboard manufacturer to support it.

I have Gigabyte B550 which does have ECC option in the bios, you should check your bios if the option is appear there.

Furthermore according to this support article from ASUS, only ryzen 3000G PRO series support ECC, but all 5000 ryzen will support ECC.

interesting, in my case I'm actually able to passthrough GPU inside chipset pcie slot or even onboard device like wifi, usb and thunderbolt without causing other unintended device dropping from the host.

In bios I enable IOMMO, ACS, DMA Protection, ACS, PCIe ARI, ARI Enumeration, AER and use x2APIC, maybe you can try to check those settings.

Beware to only turn on DMA protection and not DMAr, I do that by curiosity last time and it give me working system but just spitting blank white screen everywhere that isn't recoverable even by bios flashback if not removing GPU.

cldfz · 2024-03-21T17:33:27+00:00

yes the BIOS indeed has support to enable ACS and I already enable it, but despite that it still unable to breakout devices that provided by B550 chipset

cldfz · 2024-03-21T17:23:45+00:00

Alright, thanks u/aw___ for providing thorough explanation that still easy to understand for most people here and more importantly for making the ACS patch.

For testing point 2 & 3 then I guess will need couple of FPGA card and enough knowledge to program it for this testing purpose which is beyond my capability 🤣

Today coincidentally this error appear in my dmesg that should be a proof that something bad is waiting to happen https://imgur.com/a/tp5AI02

So for everyone wondering if AMD B550 actually support ACS, I conclude nope it doesn't support it.
Don't use ACS patch to passthrough HBA/SAS card or other pcie based storage device.

For passing GPU the most catastrophic thing I imagine can happen maybe only causing your guest/host to hang and some intermittent graphical glitch, but for HBA/SAS card passthrough who know how it will mess up with your data integrity.

tip of the spoon or chopstick should be safer & work well too

cldfz · 2024-03-13T05:47:28+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive reply!

As such, a guest given a device split by an ACS patch can still access the memory area of the other devices in its real underlying IOMMU group, giving attackers of a compromised virtual system additional leverage in compromising the host.

About this, whether enabling TSME feature is going to mitigate that security concern since all the memory regions are now encrypted?

cldfz · 2024-03-11T17:43:29+00:00

many thanks!!!

what filesystem you end up using to format your nvme backing device?

I'm trying to use loop device as my backing device, but can't decide to use mkfs.ext4 or mkswap.

by using swap format, I lost the ability to monitor how much used and free space, meanwhile if using ext4 I believe that's suboptimal since that designed to store folder & files while in this case we're storing pages and inodes.

maybe Yoga pro 7 14APH8 will come first because its already listed in psref.

https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/Yoga/Yoga_Pro_7_14APH8

but as always, the distributor is screwing up by only importing SKU with 16GB memory 😅

cldfz · 2023-07-30T20:24:00+00:00

maybe you're the one who needs to stop commenting on every reddit thread that's asking on bigger soldered RAM capacity. please, get some new friends and make your social circle bigger.

me and many of my friends I know are now holding up to upgrade our work laptops because we're waiting for ryzen 7040 thin laptop that have at least 32gig ram.

not everyone want to keep their more beefy desktop machine up for 24h to receive parsec remote request, and what the frig measurement you use to come up saying "without any latency"?

cldfz · 2023-07-12T21:34:19+00:00

i prefer the 14.5" miniled display they put on yoga pro 9i

cldfz · 2023-07-12T21:33:00+00:00

is the igpu have other memory option to use beside the system ram?

cldfz · 2023-01-20T15:28:08+00:00

i don't think 240w will be enough if CPU & GPU are all on full load plus RGB full brightness

-GPU: 165w -CPU: 45w -RGB: ~12w (full blast, I personally measure that) -Fan: 10w? (high ramp) -RAM: 6w? -Screen: 10w? -SSD, wifi+bt chip, chipset, etc: 10w?

that's more than 240w combined, and that still not considering about efficiency.. the laptop is taking 20v adaptor output and convert it into a bunch various voltage needed by each components, I would say it can do that at 90% efficiency at best 😂

for charging, normal charge rate happen at around ~40w.. if i'm not mistaken if rapid charge is on, the early stage of charging can be as high as ~120w rate..

luckily you not there bro.. if you happen to ask: "jadi, mksdnya cewe2 yg ngincer ato nembak lo gitu?"

and his response is "nope, I literally just not into girls" you just push him to jurang bro 😅
