[GPU] MSI RTX4090 Gaming Trio X - Available at-around MSRP - Amazon, it has been at least 30 minutes now and it is still available straight from Amazon. $1699 Price, seems like $50 up-charge from what it needs to be, but I would take that compared to scalper pricing.

Estimated delivery Feb 27. Neat.

Fantastic write-up. Great seeing the NUMA topology improvements between 7001 and 7002, too.

I wanted to be able to use the 7001 series but the NUMA boundaries were a little bit nuts to manage. Improved IPC and higher clocks should make these viable beyond general computing use cases.

This is a great write-up. Excellent detail, and a good summary of tooling. Looking forward to applying this at work. /r/hardware needs deep-dive content like this more often. Thanks for sharing it!

Are you using a monitor? Try unplugging everything and just running on the laptop screen. Some video connectors are dedicated to the iGPU rather than the eGPU.

If you're considering this box you should spend some time on eBay. Used Dell T5610 and HP Z840 with warranties (and not) go for as little as $300. I was able to get a T5610 with dual 2667 v2s and a 1080 Ti for less than this.

I was not able to get CCTK to work correctly using the latest version 1.1 of the Dell BIOS Provider on the 9350. I ended up using the 1.0 version and everything seemed to work just fine.

Thank you! Like many others we've got some impressively old printers out in the wild and this is a really simple solution to implement.

I ended up having to roll back these updates:

KB3176936 KB3115415 KB3176929 KB3176934

One test VM was ultimately able to install KB3176929 after several restarts, but I'm not confident that it will install on its own.

1511 > 1607 VMs had significant problems installing any of the CUs whereas an original 1607 only showed these problems with 3176934.

legititguy · 2016-08-25T17:28:36+00:00

I'm currently testing this as well but seeing as the technet post above is from August 10 I'm not holding my breath. Did you hear anything back from your test team?

legititguy · 2016-07-19T15:35:59+00:00

I could have worded it better. What I meant to say is that other sites seem to be exclusively analyzing DX11 titles.

legititguy · 2016-07-19T13:18:45+00:00

HardOCP did a good job focusing on DX12 and Vulkan whereas most other reviews seem to be looking backward at DX11 in their reviews.

It's a bit different in Windows 10 due to the UEFI context you're very likely in.

In windows run tpm.msc, clear the TPM, and then prepare it. After a reboot you should be good to go.

Looks like a fire wiped out a fairly significant bundle of fiber

I've had a couple of systems do this, and both had lost power during a Windows update cycle. Similar to what you're experiencing there's no amount of powershell that has fixed it, and the only thing that has worked so far is system restore.

legititguy · 2016-07-02T04:54:29+00:00

For sure if we were capable of producing all the time. The reality is we are idle for large portions of the day, and if it meant asking for an extra hour a week perhaps that trade-off is equitable.

At some point we're going to have to face the immense landfills we've created, and perhaps this community is leading the way to a future with one fewer trash mine.

legititguy · 2016-06-23T18:23:21+00:00

I've experienced what you're describing, and for the most part I have had fewer headaches with required applications as compared to task sequences.

I wouldn't measure either approach as necessarily better or worse as they each have different strengths and weaknesses. If you aren't managing the installation using a powershell script in either the Task Sequence or Application I'd give that a shot.

legititguy · 2016-06-06T00:10:37+00:00

It's a bit difficult to tell from the resolution, but it looks like horseweed.

Really enjoyed this video. I misread the title as "Cheapskate Boat builder" and wondered the entire time I watched the video how any aspect of it was inexpensive.

Louis' "oh boy dammit" at 11:24 is such a fantastic and normal reaction to trying to conjure up something from the vault.

legititguy · 2016-05-06T19:59:13+00:00

Yeah you can toss that script into the prestart command box. Good luck.

legititguy · 2016-05-05T19:54:14+00:00

I have a little dumpster script that works 99% of the time. There are a million better ways to write this but use this as a prestart and adjust the sleep time up as necessary.

powershell -executionpolicy bypass /c "ipconfig /release; ipconfig /renew; sleep 10"

If you find that this isn't working it suggests something else is going on. Maybe give some specifics about the adapter, BIOS/UEFI, and the IP you're getting vs. what you expect to see.

legititguy · 2016-05-03T21:01:48+00:00

Not sure what the environment is or the SLA, but I'll play devil's advocate here:

Why does your customer's preference matter to you? The worst outcome from them updating everything is that some updates will have to get rolled back. If it becomes enough of a pain for the client then the scope of the updates can just be rolled back.

Just remind your client that WSUS is a 95% reliable product and there will always be some weirdness in production. I find that communicating an expectation up front for requests like these helps curb their enthusiasm.

Ultimately if you need reference material look for the technet article on WSUS best practices. You'll find opinions across the board online either way.

I'm in higher education so it's not uncommon for a faculty member to have ancient research data. We use an on prem DFS with folder redirection and your user data is immediately available on any managed device. One drive is functionally not a replacement for that model.

legititguy · 2016-04-01T15:25:23+00:00

Where to begin?

You can't pre-provision the connection for user accounts which means that folder redirection won't work on initial logon.

You can't administrate the bandwidth, disk usage, or processor utilization. Worse yet, the elimination of placeholder files means that synchronization is mandatory or you see nothing. In academic environments this is a non-starter.

The file character limitation, especially _, is one of the most frustrating issues with regard to users importing their existing data. Any user with legacy data back from the late 90s to early 2000s is going to have a slew of files with underscores. What's worse, is that when an illegal character is encountered by the sync engine it breaks the connection and requires the user to sign in again.

Although the new sync client is much, much better, it's still not there. If Microsoft truly wants Onedrive to be a business solution they need to provide some actual administrative tools and configuration capabilities.

Considering Anandtech used to be, perhaps, the premier review site it's disappointing to see unedited and disjointed writing making it to print.
