If you see this late reply - what if you use a fume extractor turned up to "headphones with music required"-dB, connected to an optimal exhaust configuration?

Ha, that mentions "DFA was also applied on AES", citing a 2005 reference. Is the OP article being understatedly humble? ;)

Doubling performance, no. But doubling memory size... kinda. 8-16GB is kind of the baseline now. Laptops with 64GB are increasingly common in certain niches. This being said, I do see these systems that basically just double down on adding

Huh. Before updating... I was under the impression 1.3.0 was The Update Of Doom, not prior versions. Your BIOS might still have the S3 option available, and furthermore, based on the anecdata I found about downgrade being blocked starting a

If you can fiddle around and get the VNC functionality working, then as long as you have it behind a bastion host you basically have insta-BMC. I kneejerk-recommend a bastion host because a) Intel ME, and b) there was that all-0 password

That's AMT, provided by Intel ME. As far as I'm concerned ME-equipped NICs should unconditionally be behind VPNs, but the AMT functionality itself is really cool. Even the 10+ year old machines that don't support VNC let you

I wonder if Explorer is deliberately updating the display after a timeout to handle the scenario where many files might rename in short succession. One simple way to handle this could be to compute the timer to fire at $last_rename_time + $

FWIW I vaguely recall some kind of website that showed approximate bandwidth use... it was something like a cross between statcounter and alexa except for network stats and the like. I think it purported Google to be hovering around 15Gbps.

Agh. I see. Nice :/ There's a very minimal chance the Web Archive saved a view of your Twitter feed with the replies visible, and a similarly low chance the Tweet(s) ended up in an archive somewhere... that's still available.

It sadly sounds to me like Amazon have closed the internal case as suspected fraud. From that standpoint, I can (very cynically) see the reviewing agent looking at potential photos of the shipping label on the box and thinking "oh the
