Xerox still manufactures a lot of toner. It’s where all the money is in the market. They have a massive plant making EA toner and then a packing plant next door in Webster, NY USA at the main campus.

I believe the first generation of Zen Epyc chips were designed to be scalable in the sense that each die had its own CCX, memory controllers, and serdes blocks (for PCIe, SATA, and 10GKR). A single die Epyc was a single NUMA node, dual die

Totally agree! I subscribe to one magazine which is published once a quarter, it costs me about $40/year for the subscription but is well worth it to me as the content is not available anywhere else. Definitely a niche market but the

That article is from 9 years ago. Is there any more recent review which comes to similar conclusions? But also, if you’re running sqlite, your main goal is probably not to be a database server but to do some other primary objective that hap

My old dentist retired a few years ago. She had been excellent, in my opinion. The dentist who bought out her practice comes from the school of thought that bitewing x-rays are required every year. I generally decline to have the x-rays

It’s definitely harder to find the indy tradespeople now. My tactic has been to spend a bunch of time reading reviews. When the same first name of the tradesperson keeps showing up in the review then it becomes clear it’s a one person compa
