Just in case somebody wanted to know... A win OEM 7/8/8.1 key will activate a new clean install but will only accept the key as a manual post-install key insertion ("change my key"), same with windows 7/8/8.1 retail(if you plan to use automation with powershell after a zerotouch install to activate those keys, you cannot)... Only a OEM windows 10 key will install and activate with no user interaction required(like a zerotouch reinstall).

Maybe it's a localized version issue, our hp OEM codes will never activate if we do the key entry on install(win 7) or if we attempt to have it read from bios(win8.x). 🤷♂️

I do still remember wing commander prophecy, not because it was a good game(it was average) but because it used a stupid strong retention force on discs in the disk box, meaning that every other chapter you needed to swap discs and you had a 50/50 chance of jettison the disk on the wall at supersonic speed.

I guess stacking NOT gates is easier if they're a standard component you can just plonk in there? Using logic IC will produce reliable and repeteable results, while discrete components output can float depending on stock quality.

I think i have never seen a debit card here (Europe-Italy) which allowed to do overdraw, only the credit cards. Also offline magstripes would not run and fail the transaction. Since e-shopping exploded, credit cards have become far more common albeit in a different way from ye olde times, the old cards were mostly on a delayed payment basis with interest, most current ones are instant pay without.

legooolas posted:Today I discovered one of the reasons it seems to have become a lot harder to get any tech relics in the UK/EU : Anything which counts as electronic waste and was manufactured before 2009 counts (since a rule change in 2019) as hazardous waste and registered WEEE handling companies have to send it for incineration :o Sorry but no, EU ewaste rules demand an active effort to recycle before burning. So any metal or plastic has to be harvested before final materiel destruction. The biggest reason for relatively recent materiel being hard to find is that since 2009 every member state will have to let consumers drop off whatever product they are going to replace with a more modern one at each point of sale so it's more convenient dropping the old parts at the store than filling consumer storage rooms with legacy equipment.

quote:The company would have gone bankrupt had not the Government, in the shape of the National Economic Board, stepped in to prop it up with subsidies and, eventually, direct management. Sinclair seems to have accepted state involvement only grudgingly and plainly did not enjoy the experience. In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher's government - of which Sinclair was an ardent supporter and from which he gained his knighthood - abolished the NEB. Although Sinclair very probably approved of this on ideological grounds, the NEB's demise removed his safety net. The next time his company tottered under the strain of another disastrously botched product (in this case, the C5), Sinclair had no option but to sell it to an arch-rival, Amstrad.

AWS Snowmobile is a containerized data center(filled with mostly storage arrays and a bit of compute to manage ingest). The container part is done by VertiV (https://www.vertiv.com/en-asia/solutions/prefabricated-data-center/) and is reselled by HPE or Dell, it costs a pretty penny(milion euro range). If you need to start from scratch, doing container modules is cheaper than build your own(OVH attempted to make a container pile as a datacenter but it burned down due to ghetto wiring).
