    AMD Ryzen IOMMU and the B350 Chipset Challenges

    This is definitely an issue on the Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero. Broken IOMMU support and I have issues with my HotLava Shasta six-port NIC as well. It is a known-good NIC with (I believe) a PLX chip on it and three dual-port Intel 82576EB chips on it. So far, so bad with x370. Arg. :(

    128GB DDR4 for AMD Ryzen R1700, Asus ROG CH VI Hero

    Hi guys, Just doing some research and wondering if anyone is aware of any 32GB DDR4 UDIMMS. I haven't seen any but I believe they're technically possible. (All of the largers DIMMS I am seeing are RDIMMS... ie - no good for Ryzen.) As noted above I am currently running an R1700 on an Asus ROG...

    Tesla Unveils 100 kWh Battery For Model S, Model X Cars

    In case anyone cares our 85kW model has been great. No major issues aside from wear/tear repairs. Excellent service. Great commuting car (120km/day) and also good fun for roadtrips provided you plan the charging stops out a wee bit. (Superchargers are a great idear.) Wish we had the cash to...

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    In fact that's nearly the precise design they *do* have for the skateboard that underlies the 'S and soon the 'X. (Regrettably the 'E' name isn't going forward.... that would've been great to have the S, E and X models.) ;-)

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    At -23c overnight on several occasions the power was restricted for a short time and the regen was disabled. The car otherwise operated flawlessly. By about 30km I had nearly full regen and completely unlocked power. (Up to 320kW.) I wouldn't say running a Tesla in such a severe cold (-50c)...

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    So expecting a house's wiring to meet code and a home's owner to take a minimum of care isn't "logical"? Why should Tesla bear all of the responsibility in keeping people from burning their houses down based on their own negligence? Ask yourself this: if you plugged a microwave into an outlet...

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    Oh and I neglected to mention that Tesla only uses up to 80% of a circuit's rated capacity. So a 50A NEMA 6-50 receptacle would be detected as a 40A circuit in the 'S. This is what I had until I bought the Tesla charger. (The branded charger is so much easier, by the way.)

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    If only there were a way to keep underspec'd wiring from burning... oh wait there is. It's called a breaker. Does your vaccum have a fuse or breaker in it? Should every appliance? Or is it better to insist that home and commercial wiring be up to spec and use breakers to handle this issue... hmmm...

    Don't Want to Burn to Death Edition

    The Fisker Karma has had a myriad of trouble since it's debut. The Model S on the other hand went through seemingly far more qualification. For example the 'S was tested by the NHSTA in various "mild impact" or worse situations afterwhich none of the donor cars caught fire. In fact I...

    Don't Want to Burn to Death Edition

    Actually the proper method (according to Tesla themselves) is to extinguish the fire with.. *(wait for it)... water. And I quote, "If the high voltage battery becomes involved in a fire [...] use large amounts of water to cool the battery." Luxury automobiles catch fire more often than...

    Tesla Model S Prone To Password Hacking?

    The drivetrain has a totally separate computer from that which controls the HVAC or (in this case) the door locks. I agree that there should be some quality control before a vehicle is qualified to drive on public roads but so far I haven't heard of any issues with the car's powertrain due to...

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    Alusions, are you suggesting that any car fire indicates "half baked" engineering? Did you know that nearly 200,000 gasoline cars catch fire every year in the US? That's an awful lot of terrible engineering from all manner of manufacturers.... Or we could admit that all cars can catch fire and...

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    The Universal Mobile Connector?! Good grief, don't let the dog chew through that. It carries up to 40A@240V. Probably better to give the dog a set of xmas lights or similar if you can't avoid it chewing on electrical cords. :D

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    They beat their sales estimates by 20% for Q4 of 2013. Stock went from $22 when we put our reservation down to (at one point) ~$190. Upon news of the Q4 2013 stats the stock went from ~$140 to ~$165+. Should've bought some stock when they were at $22... I'd be done paying for the car. :-)

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    Bummer but don't give up. Maybe the Gen 3 (Model 'E') will suit your situation better anyways. I know I'll be checking it out as a cheaper commuter car in 2016/2017.

    Tesla Recalls More Than 29K Wall Chargers

    Our Model S has been great. The "recall" is simply to replace the adapter from the charging cable to the outlet and is to add further protection against faulty home wiring. The car and chargers are not faulty. If you're on the fence about getting one of these cars, don't be. We've driven...

    Will U buy Windows 8?

    I don't particularly like the metro apps or interface. That said I will undoubtedly be required to support it and I like the boot performance, new task manager and seemingly the threading improvements. Kernel seems to perform much better. The new file transfer applet is great, too. Very slick...

    64gb 1600 vs 1333

    Lucky you. Sounds like a sweet rig. I have a different opinion. I'd get the 64GB kit @ 1600MHz. As a non-electrical engineer my impression of faster memory is that it's simply better binned than the lower speeds. This means that @ 1333MHz, the 1600MHz-capable RAM should run at tighter...

    ZFS on Linux - VDEV Warnings

    I'm going to try and create a new LUN using the following command: 'zfs create -b 1024k -V 1G /VMs/LUN2' I just read that VMFS5 uses a default block size of 1MB.... hopefully I can copy the VMs from the current LUNs, recreate them, and copy 'em back. ;-)

    ZFS on Linux - VDEV Warnings

    Actually after some more reading, it appears the block size and Direct I/O writes should be aligned; I might be confused but I am pretty sure the VMFS filesystem within my ZFS-based LUN might be unaligned. Does that seem plausible? Calling all ZFS gurus. ;-)

    ZFS on Linux - VDEV Warnings

    Hi folks, I am getting the following warning (found in vdev_disk.c in the ZFS source): "WARNING: Resized bio's/dio to %d\n",bio_count". In my case, I get a warning that the value for bio/dio (bio_count) is now being set to 32. I am fairly experienced with Linux but haven't seen this...

    Need a 24-bay hot-swap rack mount case, 4U, redundant PSU case

    Hi folks, Since Canada Computers fucked me by jacking up the price of the Supermicro case I was going to get, I need some suggestions as alternates: 1) Case must have a redundant PSU with at least 500W, preferrably more and preferrably as efficient as possible. 2) Case must have 24 SAS...

    How to upgrade from Win 7 Ultimate 32bit to 64bit using the Full Version Win 7 64bit.

    You cannot upgrade from a 32-bit to a 64-bit Windows OS. You will (unfortunately) be required to format and re-install the OS followed by your apps.

    Stupid Intel Commercials

    You are right. Advertising tries to sell the world an overly simplified, packaged view of extremely complex solutions. (Sometimes not even that.) How many people do you know who *really* wonder how a complex piece of machinery works versus simply waking up, turning the key and going to work?
