I was kind of surprised that the roof didn't have hand rails around the edge or a requirement to be tied to something with a harness on. What are the laws in Canada for that stuff?

well why not posted:It's meant to be fun. Don't get upset about it. They know it's stupid and not optimal. It's not meant to be perfect, it's meant to be fun, entertaining and a bit janky. There's a reason that their secondary branding colours are hyper pink and green. You just go along with poo poo being a bit wonky. It’s classic Top Gear but computers. I am the first person to make this observation, very wise, etc, lol

In today's hardware news, Steve is saying they really enjoyed the Newegg RMA story, have learned a lot more about Artesian Builds, and will be doing a follow up along the same lines; they want to do more occasional journalism (his word) pieces like this every few months. If it was anyone else I would be concerned, but instead I'm just excited? glad?

Steve has said he's planning to periodically audit Newegg's return policies. He knows how to use family and friends to do that stuff anonymously so those should be good reports. Showing up at their door with a camera was just good old fashioned 6 o'clock news stuff.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I'm curious about the use of the Fresnel zone here, because typically it's desirable to have as little as possible be in it depending on what part of the spectrum you're in - let alone trees, buildings, or the ground in the forms of hills or mountains. Fresnel zone in 60GHz is very small. Beamwidths of 1 degree. This is just paid advertising. If they had a network team, or a wireless person they can lean on they would pickup a pair of Siklu Etherhaul 8010’s in 80GHz and have a real 10Gb full duplex radio. Even better, I’m almost certain that there would have been some conduit run between both buildings. Just fish thru some fibre and throw a couple 10Gb SFP+ on it and bingo bango bongo.’ 60GHz is very bad for rain attenuation. With that short hop between buildings it will probably be fine, but when you extend it past 1KM you’ll get hard fluctuations in signal which will modulate the speed on your radio down to below 1Gb/s to compensate for bit errors. Having worked with Ubiquiti for almost 15 years now in my career I can guarantee if you tried to iperf that thing in both directions at the same time you wouldn’t get even the 5 gig down 5 gig up that you are advertised. Ubiquiti also loves to fluff it’s numbers by saying you have a 10Gb Radio! Just don’t try to use upstream and downstream at the same time. Not to mention this install is loving trash. If you wanted a reliable stable link, you run DC and Fibre to this thing, make sure you ground the radio, your surge protection happens back in the building where you also ground your DC cable, and the diameter of the pipe they put it on is too small. Edit: Jesus christ this radio is 1000 euros each and is in “early access” which is ubiquiti’s test release area, not stable. These are half the cost and do a better job of what they deployed. https://www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/cnwave/60-ghz-cnwave-v3000/ Nitr0 fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Mar 19, 2022 |

mewse posted:LTT has an insane internet uplink, I think they've talked about it before where they've got a direct fiber link to the Vancouver interchange so that they can support floatplate etc. I can’t find any ASN for them so I would assume they just have internet transit. I doubt they spent the money on a wavelength all the way to VanIX if they’re not bgp peered. Edit: I watched their old video about upgrading to 10Gb and they’re purchasing a wave thru https://itel.com who is purchasing from Telus or Shaw to physically get to VanIX. Then they buy 6 gigs of internet transit from urbanfibre. So I’m wrong, they did waste a bunch of money on a wave with no use for it because they’re not bgp peering. Big spenders.

Steve said as much, that the reason he's doing this is because he used to use Newegg back in the day because it was a great place to buy things and to see how far it's fallen is super disappointing. I know "keeping people accountable" is a bit of a meme and joke lately but in this instance it seems to be his motive.

It's quite depressing to look at PCPartPicker in america a lot of the time. We have Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and B&H Photo as our most viable options, with smaller stores like MemoryC and Adorama sometimes showing up but never as the cheapest option. And each of our four viable options suck rear end in their own ways. For most of the items catalogued there, we get only two or three choices, with Newegg usually being the cheapest, or sometimes Amazon.

The one good thing I will say about modern Newegg is that the website allows a lot of useful filters when performing searches. If I want to find a video card with, for example, three HDMI outputs, I will be able to narrow down the options using Newegg. Amazon's search facilities are worse than useless. The more specific you try to make the search, the more irrelevant products come back in the results. Ebay has really good search options too.

Mr.Radar posted:They're probably selling out everything they get in in-store, leaving no inventory for their online store. No, that's how Microcenter has always been. The pandemic didn't change anything. They didn't stop shipping things. Only a small portion of their stock is available for shipping and those are generally not the most exciting / best deals. The question, why doesn't pcpartpicker index Microcenter's website. I'd imagine that pcpartpicker could write their scraper to do it. You can filter for only shippable items. OTOH pcpartpicker makes all their money from referral links and microcenter probably doesn't do that. So maybe they have no particular reason to add them.

The market is absolutely hosed, considering someone used a GPU for this. IceLake-era Xeon Scalables have Intel GFNI which adds Galois Field manipulation at one operation per instruction (with a latency of three operations), so if ZFS and/or the kernel doing software RAID gets the code to take advantage of those, the only thing you need to ensure is that you have enough cores to ensure that you aren't getting threading-starved. So what it really means is that either you pick a proprietary accelerator solution using a proprietary module because you're limited by per-core licensing, or you pay an opensource developer to add the functionality to your favorite opensource project (as both GCC and LLVM support it already). EDIT: To find it easiest, search for "avx512gfni" in the PDF. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Mar 25, 2022 |
