    Not needed for in-the-vehicle use. However, this helmet technology might be a worthy upgrade for construction worker use.

  2. So...any info on what exactly the IP address/s are of the C&C servers so they can be blocked at the firewall level?

  4. The pure hydrogen economy was always stupid idea. Major logistical problems involve storage and safe handling. Also the pressure vessels to contain the gas has to be really strong to withstand an automotive accident via impact.

    We have the oil pipeline infrastructure in place already. Wouldn't it make more sense to simple convert energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, nuclear) to a process of combining hydrogen and carbon for synthetic hydrocarbons?

    That's how the EU globalist elite see themselves, as lords. And, they're partly right. They are neo-feudalists that control both physical and intellectual property. You don't get to own it, only lease it; if they deem it safe to do so and doesn't threaten their establishment.

    A solution looking for a problem. The fact is, the idea of a "privacy commissioner" (ministry of culture?) is an insolence to humanity. I should be able to fucking insult or shock anyone I please. If you don't like it, mod me (because you're some random person with mod points, it's all fair game) down or simply stop reading/watching. A central regime of authority need not be involved!

  11. Re:what about quad socket?? with the faster links? on Could AMD's Upcoming EPYC 'Rome' Server Processors Feature Up To 162 PCIe Lanes? (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    With the advent of "chiplet" (dies) being crammed into a single package, it makes the multi-socket rather moot beyond dual configuration. A dual-socket configuration is already complicated. If you truly need that much CPU resources in a single chassis, it can be more economical to move to a blade configuration. While the blade server would be expensive per CPU, the net cost would be reduced if you factor in density to reduce the number of enclosures you'd otherwise be leasing at a data-center relative to that of standard rack-mounted 1U servers.

    TLDR: if need quad socket configuration, at that point you're probably looking to scale well beyond that anyways.

  12. Re:No raises as tech gets better on Futurist Predicts AI Will Take Jobs, Benefiting the Rich But Not Workers (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ahh, the naivety of the optimistic.... See, you thought (like so many before you) technology would allow the common wo/man to perform less work in the same amount of time. NOPE!!! Exact opposite! Technology allows for the condition to perform MORE WORK in the same amount of time.

    It's true, society as a whole benefits from this increase in production. We are living a richer lifestyle to those 100 year before. BUT, it still comes down to a work/life balance. That's what's truly out of whack.

    IMHO - if there was a way to create a global law and enforce it, the idea would be to make it illegal to work more than 20 hours a week. But, that's just pure fantasy and would never happen. On a personal level, I'd much rather work 4x10 hours/week than the standard 5x8. My day is effectively shot anyways, might as well have that extra day off to perform personal chores and maintenance during the week day.

    AI / Automation is a monetary deflationary force. With record stagflation as a result in both deflation, debt, and the need to counter with a monetary printing press (inflation), we are all on a path to ruin.

    Axiomatic truism: What cannot go on forever, wont!!!

    The socialists know this - which is why they're pushing for "Modern Monetary Theory". It's a bullshit scheme, and the smart ones know it. MMT is just a path for formalize a Communist regime spearheaded by a neo-feudalistic collective of power-brokers at the top of the heap. But a heap it will be!

    The end-game is to cull a large swath of hungry mouths. Yes, depopulate the planet. What those numbnuts fail to realize is that their standard of living will be reduced to that of a Roman Empire if they're so lucky. And that's assuming radioactive ash hasn't rained down on the fields irradiating crops for hundreds or thousands of years.

    That's what the Muslims immigrants are for. Oh wait, they don't work, but the DO vote! Sorry, my bad.

  15. Aerospike is unproven technology in an industry that's inherently risky, political, and conservative tech holds supreme. That's not a bad thing to be conservative. But once rocket launching become too competitive and profit margins shrink, then the aerospace will be given another serious look.

    The US State Department is very big on "sending messages" with its actions. Let's see how they like being on the receiving end for once.

    Actually, that was a message to CHINA. With Russian and Chinese troops now in Venezuela, that could be a hotbed for WW3; "Communism" (authoritarianism really) never ended. The Cold War was just World War on hiatus.

    As for the Pacific, yes, a total cluster fuck is about to occur between China, Russia, Pakistan, North Korea (axis) and US, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan (allies) and other pacific island nations.

    I recommend stocking up on some potassium iodide pills. Keep them in a bug-out bag. Also invest in lead (if you know what I mean).

  18. Update the NIC drivers; sometimes that FUBARs VLAN capability. Though why you would be VLANing from the OS instead of the switch is beyond me. But I'm sure you have your reasons.

    Yes, there's a bug with Intel audio. The fix is rather simple, just update the Intel HD video drivers which includes audio drivers as well for HDMI support. There's also a known issue with Bluetooth audio that subsequently has been already fixed with one of the Windows Updates.

  21. You can skip Windows 10 builds. Just do an in-place upgrade. Create the USB drive with the Windows Media Creation tool, leave the flashdrive in place, then just run the setup from it. Alternatively, boot from the flash drive and perform a clean install.

  22. 1809 is solid. Though given the previous recall, I can totally understand why there's still apprehension at deployment. So my advice would be to go ahead and use 1809 if you plan on formatting/reinstalling Windows on a PC. However if this is to be a planned mass upgrade project within an organization, yeah, go ahead and skip and wait for the new release. No point in spending a whole lot of time and money on an 1809 deployment now with Spring 2019 around the corner.
