True, and commodity chips not to exact spec will introduce disturbance errors. But apparently this is been a known problem with DRAM with various method of mitigation during the binning process. It's just that density and tolerances have become so tight that the issue is now exasperated. I wouldn't be surprised at all if those 19 models also had a few that failed if tested again and again.
Honest. General computing from low-end PCs, phones, and other devices are long overdue in employing ECC by default. So you lose capacity and tiny performance hit. BFD if that means your data doesn't become corrupted. The only people that would care are the PC gaming benchmark queens.
FTFP. "We induce errors in most DRAM modules (110 out of 129) from three major DRAM manufacturers."
Short version, leakage current from adjacent gates can nudge other to bit-flip. I don't think this is a manufacturing problem as it is a fundamental EE design oversight. So yeah, defective by design (unintentionally)!!
Castro's revolution was predicated on creating a New democratic government; instead he shut the door behind him with communism. Fact is, reality isn't a morality tale. Often the bad guys really do win.
This exploit can be used both ways as a "tool", right? If a malware infected Thunderbolt external drive can flash the EEPROM with a rootkit, is there any reason to believe that Apple couldn't create a utility Thunderbolt ROM drive (read-only to prevent client laptop cross-contamination) to stomp it back out?
When all you want is candy (empty quick-fix sugar rush), everything else tastes bland; so you keep eating candy. Without question, most TV and Hollywood production in the last 10+ years is vapid crap!
Is that what that is?! I just saw a pop-up telling me an OS X update applied when I returned to my desk. Curious, I checked the updates and didn't seen anything new installed today. I figured it was some malware clickbait popup that came and went from inactivity on my end.
I'm a parent. Discipline is just one aspect of raising a young child. Perhaps your advise is for teens?? Anyhow, communication between parent and child is two-way. You reward to encourage good behavior (don't spoil by overdoing it), and punish on bad behavior. Children early on need to be made well aware of who's ultimately in control. You may find it surprising to hear this, but if you give a child too much freedom, they'll actually take you less seriously. It's not that they dislike you (quite the opposite), they just don't see you all that important as a teachable figurehead contrary to what you might think. This is very bad in that they'll end up learning hard lessons in life vs. retaining what you as a parent are trying to teach them to avoid in the first place. Essentially, don't project your mature world view upon them. They simply don't have that mindset yet.
After a 3,700 year old clay tablet was translated, it's now believed that Noah's ark was nothing more than a giant coracle. It's basically a giant around raft made out of wicker and extremely stable in water. Bloody brilliant when you think about it. Back then, materials (lumber) were limited and the idea of a large keel boat isn't based on any text, but rather baseless assumptions.
SonicWALL baby! I block all P2P and TOR traffic at the WAN zone. Also use Content Filtering to block known sources of malware and shit. You can also block certain websites too. Effectively putting the kibosh on the most casual of end-users activity at getting infected. If they're actively trying to work around the protection in place, it's malicious activity that should render the employee frogmarched out of the office with security!. The 3rd line of defense (the 1st one being end user situationally are of such threats in the first place ( Art of Deception and all that) involves anti-malware software installed on all managed end-user machines.
I've ran into CryptoWall. Before it rears its ugly head to the end-user, its programmed to first encrypt data both local and via mapped shares. Next, it purges all local shadow copies of whatever local volumes are enumerated to the local host (so as to prevent quick restoration of corrupted data). I can't imagine any of the servers OS getting infected as that would require a user directly executing the malware from console, but in theory yeah, locally attached backup drives could get whacked as well. It's nasty. REAL NASTY!
Replace "lower class" with cattle. Easy to manipulate for personal gain, but ultimately not required. Escape velocity is about becoming a whole new apex predator.
Have you been to Cnet lately? They used to be the place to download shareware / freeware back in the early 2000s and prior. Back in the 90s, CNet was the premier place to go for all the latest in computing news and internet fads (along with ZDnet). Back then, Weatherbug was spyware and AVG was the anti-virus of choice. Now the Internet is all flipped upside-down. Cnet contains links to dubious apps and tricks you into some download app, WeatherBug is clean (and awesome), and AVG contains a craptastic IE toolbar that's impossible to remove completely without resorting ripping it out manually via some utility like Autoruns.
The poverty of a nation is directly proportional to the freedom and type of government they have. They need to rise up and have a revolution. I refuse to curtail my lifestyle so the poor can be impacted less thereby keeping their ruling class government elite fat and happy. Your global concerns is prolonging the problem of oppression and tyranny around the world. Fancy that.
You can eat better than the ultra wealthy did 100 years ago. From fruits, vegetables, fattened up chickens, etc. Not just what you can buy, but how product has physically changed from industrialization. Also modern medicine and the resulting technology has had a profound impact on civilization.
Screwing up the planet you said? Look pal, Mother Nature is a BITCH! She doesn't care about you. Your job, out of pure circumstance, is to eat, sleep, fuck, and die. Congrats if you have children out of it to continue the chain of reverse entropy that is known as life.

Well only because you mentioned it, the rainbow blotch in the middle is distracting. Would prefer just the red/black image by itself ;)
To the victor goes the spoils, as they say.

What increasing incomes??! Are we not in a period of stagflation?

I suppose that makes sense. Soldered on = less interconnect resistance on the bus vs. socket with lower powered components.
So does that mean we can expect newer mainstream ATX MBs to use SODIMMs now?
Is that what that is?! I just saw a pop-up telling me an OS X update applied when I returned to my desk. Curious, I checked the updates and didn't seen anything new installed today. I figured it was some malware clickbait popup that came and went from inactivity on my end.
Ok, all of what? 2 people are offline now?
Moderation is the key; as is with any activity.

Everyone's a winner. You can do no wrong! The world loves us, and when it doesn't, it's all our fault.
And thus the decline of western civilization...
Amps are needed.

All of that will go away when radical Islam goes away. Not in your lifetime buddy!
Which is why America was give respect by the Japanese post signing the declaration of surrender.
N.Korea is of the same mindset. They will not respect anyone until after they've been conquered by a new ruler.
Nice! So it's evolution in action. The tree of life branches off yet again!
