@IRJ awesome, looks like Prof. Messler has 10-series videos out now!

@connorsoliver I was wondering the same thing. I know we can download equivalents on our phones, but didn't think it was an option on the BIOS.

If your graphics card was failing would that show up in the diagnostics as well? This will be a great tool if you suspect hardware failure. As to the fake BIOS, if you make changes in the virtual environment will it show you a reflection of those changes?

Depends on the diagnostics. As external hardware, diagnostics of it tend to be more limited.

@Pete-S How long did you spend holding UV lights over those chips? Me = many hours, way to long.

Haha, spent a lot of time doing that. But I had an UV eraser which basically meant you could put it in and walk away.

I spend enough time doing it so I could immediately tell that the EPROM I posted a pic of above, is made by Texas Instruments (from the logo) and it's 256 kbit (from 27C256) so 32 kilobyte memory.

I am just about to add the first RAID video, I want to watch it all first and see what all it has.

Maybe they could make a theme pack or something for Fedora users to get the Korora style and setup on Fedora.

I don't know what their goals were, as I'm not too familiar with the project, but why didn't they just choose to do this from the start?

Edit: I guess I could not be lazy and read their "about" page myself :smiling_face_with_halo: looks like they wanted to add packages to make the software more user-friendly "out of the box." Codecs, media players, third-party repos, etc.

Right basically things that Fedora will never do natively because of licensing.

Has everybody else already patched their Drupal setups?

Well, a new customer we needed to patch it 😞

Hopefully it has been patched before they got pwned.

Yeah hopefully .

@dafyre said in HP Announces Intel Core i7 Powered Chromebook Tablet:

Do you really need that kind of horsepower in a Chromebook? I'm not knocking the amount of RAM... but an i7 is a bit overkill, isn't it? -- Unless you're running hefty Android apps or something.

Maybe this type of device will encourage the development of heftier apps for chrome os... Video/audio stuff, graphics, etc. I'd run Reaper on a Chromebook like this to record multitrack audio... Assuming the audio hardware drivers existed.

If you go to their website today, you can't even get a clear picture as to the state of the project.

@mlnews said in CloudFlare Launches Spectrum DDoS for All Traffic Types for Enterprise Customers:

CF's new Spectrum DDoS protection service for their top tier customers aims to protect against the "spectrum" of Internet attacks including all ports and protocols, not just web ones as before.

Read the title again slowly...

It sounds like CloudFlare is launching a DDoS. 😄 Not criticizing, just finding it funny.

I've been telling people this sort of thing is what to expect for the future of computing solutions for some years now.

Not sure this is the device that will make it catch on but we are ever closer to it being a truly useful option.
