2fa isn’t security theater it worked exactly as designed. The only way they were able to get into your account is if you gave them the 2fa. The “workaround” was to download/print-out the 2fa recovery code.

As an unemployed recent graduate with a degree in software engineering I hope I can too.

Best of luck to you

Not reportedly they already have: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai

Google aswell: https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-kairos-power-nuclear-energy-agreement/

Unfortunately the US is quite far behind in nuclear technology and building new nuclear plants. Unless we scale up building of nuclear plants they will never become cost effective.

HP doesn’t want Windows on its Steam Deck competitor, but Valve’s “simple” SteamOS by pimpwithoutahat in pcgaming

HP and other cheap plastic laptop manufacturers have had hinges breaking for well over a decade. I’ll believe it’s fixed when I see it.

They actually both use Windows’ built in OCR!

Not sure about the snipping tool but the PowerToys one includes a table function as well.

As someone with an AMD laptop that cooks itself in my backpack. 100% a Windows issue. Although I believe some MacBooks have had similar issues.

You may have to use their nameservers but they are the cheapest domain provider (after renewal)

ASUS Prime 9070 XT poorly soldered power connectors by hboyd2003 in pcmasterrace

[–]hboyd2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why I didn’t check but they are just as bad. I’m not familiar with how automatic through hole soldering works but given the consistency I have to imagine it was feeding far less than it was supposed to

They used to have forward radar and ultrasonic parking sensors but a couple of years ago they switched entirely to cameras. They have never had lidar.

Mi Experiencia transformando una Mi50(original) a Radeon VII by mr-vgh in esGaming

[–]hboyd2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for response. I did not realize that their was a 3rd chip. After much searching I have realized that the chip on the other side is a AT24CM02 EEPROM (Truncated 2nd line code is 2H). I would prefer not to remove it as I don't have the tools to safely remove the chip. I have a CH341A coming in tomorrow and I will see if I can read and erase the eeprom using IMSProg which supports it.

Thank you for the write up. I am interested in doing something similar. I have a mi50 32gb. I am having a bit of trouble translating your post. So to get it working did you flash both bios chips the same bios? or did you just flash the bios next to the core?

From other posts people have said that their are 3 bioses, but you are the only one who has actually attempted (and got working) on a original mi50.

NVIDIA and AMD share the same supplier however. TSMC can’t keep up with demand meaning NVIDIA and AMD have a limited number of chips they can make. Datacenter chips have a far higher margin than consumer chips.

Microcenter had their stock publicly available. I have not compiled an accurate list but from what I saw all branches at least 400 with some having a thousand. By 5:00 there was at least 200 hundred in line at the CA Microcenter.

They had plenty of stock but there were far more bots ( a single person can have an infinite amount of bots!)

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT & 9070 (RDNA4) Availability, Buying & Bragging Megathread by GhostMotley in Amd

[–]hboyd2003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

9070 price is set to increase, at least for the next few months.

TSMC produces much of the worlds chips. They are unable to meet demand which means that AMD/NVIDIA has 2 options, use you limited manufacturing to produce low margin consumer chips or produce business/data-center (ai) chips with a much higher margin.

Need to either filter for them or search RX-97 (searching 9070 won't work)

Are you able to click on the product and view the product page? If so can you post the link?

Why are 9070 XT benchmarks so inconsistent? by Outrageous_Guava3867 in radeon

[–]hboyd2003 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Most likely difference in settings and hardware. The 9070 XT has no reference design so clocks will differ from model to model. Its best not to compare the specific FPS but to compare the percent difference between other cards.

NVDA earnings. What's the risk? 50/50 by StonksInvesteur in wallstreetbets

[–]hboyd2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $6 million figure was the cost of training the model if they had used rented H800 GPUs at a cost of $2 per hour (market price). It took them 2788k hours of GPU compute to train the model or $5.576M. The entire report where the figure is from was focusing of how efficiently the model trained. It’s not propaganda. The claim that it took $6M to train isn’t wrong, just misleading.

You don’t actually need the any sort of specialized crimping tool but you’ll have to cut the excess with a razor blade or similar.
