This has been the case since SATA revision 3.3, released Feb 2016. So while I may have exaggerated with “ancient”, a brand new PSU certainly shouldn’t still be feeding 3.3v to that pin.

Likely changing the “active” flag or boot stuff, but as the other commenter says, if you aren’t 100% confident, disconnect the scsi

I have done this with dozens of drives and have never had to do any pin blocking. You only need to do that if you’re using an absolutely ancient sata power cable that doesn’t know about the spinup pin change

VP9 has pretty wide support, probably due to the Google (and YouTube) backing. I sincerely doubt devices will phase out any codecs, especially not VP9.

AMD video cards have supported hardware decoding of VP9 since vcn1.0 - well before they had support for decoding AV1

AV1 and VP9 are likely going to be your highest efficiency “free” codecs. AV1 is the way to go if you mean free as in free open source. It’s not very likely to be implemented in many TVs or set-top-boxes, but VLC/ffmpeg will be able to decode any of these. Webm uses vp8 or VP9 which are “free”(made by Google) but it’s just more specific settings for sharing online/viewing in browser.

H264/H265 has license fees for non-free software and hardware, but they will be your most widely supported option. H265 is approximately twice as efficient as h264 (meaning you can get the same quality of encode from half the file size).

Regardless of preset I think you can get handbrake to encode something reasonable from any of these codecs. Especially with DVD video you’ll be able to crank through videos with modern high efficiency codecs

It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.

Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It’s too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?

He already said it once

“Responsible reporting” is for security vulnerabilities… It’s extremely hard for me to believe that jailbreaks like this should be considered security vulnerabilities, especially if it’s something local-only or otherwise limited to something only the owner of the device would feasibly be able to do.

Does anyone believe the portable is actually a more secure device now than it was before this patch?

Op said they tried without the firewall connected and had the same results

I’m kind of surprised RED is still small enough and Nikon is still big enough for this to happen. In my mind I expected them to have a thousand+employees

Fucking exactly. “Welp I can’t find what I need here anymore, guess I’ll go somewhere else”

In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, “ruin their life” isn’t IMHO the right way to go. I’d be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they’d better be supporting the people who depend on me.

You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc

Suing Tesla seems a little dumb to me. Sue the DMV that’s giving people like this licenses

Reading this makes me want to try gentoo again…

I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase

God damn it I hate the modern reality of online shopping. Make searching actually worth a damn again ffs

Driving two 4k monitors at 10b120hz is pretty overkill to use thunderbolt for, is kind of my point. Is anyone actually being limited by that?

Even with cameras, the storage generally isn’t that fast. CFexpress cards cant generally break 2GB/s, and even 8+k cameras generally record to that or maybe USB-C (and if you’re recording to a USBC device you’re probably just gonna use USBC instead of thunderbolt).

NVMe that can do sustained write speeds like that will be full in a few minutes, unless you’re offloading to a massive high speed array over 10+gbit networking it just kind of seems like why bother?

Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of going to faster interfaces for the sake of speed, but I have experienced almost zero real use of thunderbolt in real life, and I usually keep a pretty good eye out. My real question was mostly focused on whether there are people actually using thunderbolt and if they’re actually limited by 40gbps and I’m kinda just bitching at this point

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

Anything besides parts and manuals.

Requirements for devices to be feasibly repairable in the first place. A phone that’s effectively a brick of glue is still unrepairable regardless of whether you can buy overpriced parts for it.

If the enforcement mechanism for “fair” pricing is for the general public to file a lawsuit, I can guarantee that pricing isn’t going to be very reasonable.

Apple devices are notoriously hard to repair not just because they don’t provide a $50,000 diagnostic kit and overpriced parts, they’re hard to repair because they’re designed to be disposable. This bill does absolutely nothing to change that, which is probably why Apple supported it. Good PR with completely avoidable consequences for them

I’m not one of the maniacs making threats of any kind, but honestly it really seems like death threats are the only thing that gets any attention anymore, so I can understand why it’s done…

Is “eat the rich” not a death threat in its own right?
