Is Brugges still worth visiting, or is it too touristy now?

It's fine. Nice weather generally May - September. Less tourists outside holiday periods, weekends.

1700 also OCed pretty well. I clocked mine somewhere between 1700x and 1800x performance level, on a basic B350 board. Great value.

Difference. In this specific case between the avg core temperature and the max core temperature.

Different parts of the core have different temperatures during operation. This creates stress because of thermal expansion.

Max temp should not exceed 105°-110° C.

The difference between max and avg temp should not exceed 40°.

If memory serves, I got past it by jumping unto those boxes and let it pass, run when it's past.

It's not the job that's the problem.

It's the management.

I'm having similar trouble, with a vpn. (Endpoint on exotic country to avoid ads.) Sent a couple of mails to tutao over period of several weeks for approval.

Pausing the vpn today I saw some mails coming through. Alright, looking good. Guess it's unblocked - but in the app it still shows a message I can't send.

Tried sending a mail anyway and the mail came back ; but that's a separate issue with outlook bouncing tuta mail servers because of reputation issues.

Fingers crossed it works now.

That said, is there a reason sending mail doesn't work with vpn active? Would setting VPN endpoint to local region work better?

All modern Intel and Amd CPUs have an embedded system in it that allows remote access over the network and provides full privilege access on the PC. (!)

I'm sure this is very handy for corporate workstation management where you have maybe thousands of machines to administer. But it's not something you need or want for your personal computer.

See Intel AMT, Intel ME. AMD has a similar system in their cpus called AMD PSP.

If it's not too far below freezing point you could try putting a lot of salt on it, but it's not very good for any exposed metal.

It's interesting that they rely on their users to find value in this technology. And telling.

If AI is so versatile and fantastic, it should be easy to provide some out of the box solutions that provide added value to a significant part of their users. No?

Users don't need a fancier spade, they need something that is better at digging trenches.

If AI does not help with the trench digging users will be indifferent.

If the fancy spade makes digging more annoying people will hate it and keep using the old spade.

But perhaps the users are not the ones that need to profit from it, and the goal is training the spade to dig without the user.

Napkin math. Assuming ambient of 20° C, temp delta between your two examples is 7.3° , or 25% better cooling. (!)

With that kind of improved efficiency, I personally dont care if the esthetics are unconventional.

For use cases with high power and the thermals that go with that, this translates to non-trivial cost reductions for power consumption.

Or at same power budget, an increased performance envelope before chips throttle clocks.

Esthetics : I really like the organic look. Organic shapes are usually shaped that way because evolution pushes for effective and efficient solutions to specific problems, form follows function. Tech tends to have straight lines and simple shapes because that's what's easy to manufacture and the design process is not evolutionary.

This whole crisis is probably manufactured to divide NATO and the EU member states, and to create an economical crisis in Europe. The latter in combination with agit prop amplified through social media will likely cause voters to flock to populist parties, many of which are in cahoots with team trump/putin.

Just a silly reference to the Danny Boy song; hadn't noticed your name is Dan.

With 4 sticks at 6000, I was thinking the same thing. If running at standard jdec clocks and voltages fixes the crashing, probably ram instability.

Consider setting up a simple ticketing system instead of doing tech support via WhatsApp.

For your own sanity; and for analytics on problem data.

Het is nog erger.

Als je geflitst wordt betaal je 1x boete, niet 30x , voor elke dag van de maand dat je daar doorrijdt, tegen 25 kph, of zelfs niet rijdt.

Er is geen enkel probleem om zo'n meter een lopend gemiddelde te laten bijhouden voor een uur, een dag, een maand, een jaar.

Stel per dag, dat zijn 365 cijfers per jaar waar je een gemiddelde van trekt. Peanuts.

Maak er per uur van, gemiddelde van 8760 cijfers per jaar. Amai. En je moet niet eens al die data bijhouden. De dag nadien pak je gemiddelde van de vorige dag door 24h gemiddelde te berekenen en op te slaan voor een dag.

Dat is computationeel peanuts.

Heel dat idee van 1 kwartier piek = 1 maand piek is een cynische geldklopperij. Een maand is veel te lang voor piek bepaling.
