    Will a e5-4627v2's run on a "x9drg-qf"

    I suspect not but I occasionally see these 8c 3.3ghz chips at a decent price. The 10c 3ghz 2690v2 seems like the best price/value to upgrade my old 2670's from but I thought I would ask those who know. I need to accept that the 2697 v2's are going to carry a premium till long after I might...

    IBM Gobbles up Red Hat for $34B Implications and Possibilities Abound

    The big fish eat the small fish. Back when I was upwardly mobile this was pretty much a normal event for me. Then again now that I am working from my basement dungeon it is exactly the same only I will probably be looking for another job when the big fish eats my current little fish. In the...

    Intel S3500 800GB $129 lots available

    As an 8 drive raid 0 in my dungeon the s3500's are just fine. A 4 drive NVME setup is probably better but my disposable income is constrained by swmbo.

    What to do when your Billion User Website goes down: Youtube Outage

    Quite amazing. I'm never quite sure how they keep it all up and even less sure how it can all be torn down in a single event. Youtube down or app not working? Current status and problems for the UK | Downdetector

    I keep seeing this and then the screen refreshed and I see the forum as usual once I get my cookie. I don't think I am generating noise. Something odd here.

    Bloomberg Reports China Infiltrated the Supermicro Supply Chain We Investigate

    I tend to believe that a significant portion of the story represents some form of truth. In selecting the News it really isn't necessary to lie. Bad shit is always happening somewhere in the world. What I am really noticing is that the News cycle is ramping up on all things isolationist in...

    Ideas for a Supermicro RMA?

    Our friends at SM are under a bit of financial pressure at the moment but I suspect they are anxious to please their dealer network. Is anyone here on the list that can reach out and make the request on the OP's behalf to someone past tier 1? SM has generally been great with warranty work...

    Chinese backdoors on Supermicro

    If boards had been bugged and a specific chip at a specific location had been identified on a specific motherboard it would be easy and filled with brownie points to include this information in your articles. The lack of anything like this suggests that the authors don't have this little thing...

    But do they come with a z/OS license? Would love to play with modern z/OS but IBM makes it darn near unobtainable for hobbyiests.

    Bloomberg Reports China Infiltrated the Supermicro Supply Chain We Investigate

    Not quite as cool as the NSA's hard drive firmware hack or as targeted as the US/Israeli attack on Iranian centrifuges but this is fun nonetheless. The whole supply chain issue is a very big deal but practically there is very little anyone can afford to do about it. Against advanced...

    Bloomberg Reports China Infiltrated the Supermicro Supply Chain We Investigate

    There were a couple of 3 letter agencies in the U.S. that were grabbing shipments in transit and doing neat things to bug it a while back. Another company's support software gave them access to all the things remotely. Management Interfaces (lmfao) - don't put them on the network. The...

    Bloomberg Reports China Infiltrated the Supermicro Supply Chain We Investigate

    I wonder if Bloomberg is going to get hit with libel on this one. Hard to imagine they don't have double sourced facts for an allegation like this.

    Bloomberg Reports China Infiltrated the Supermicro Supply Chain We Investigate

    From my perspective it means that there could be a lot of cheap Supermicro motherboards coming onto fleabay. But I would be sad to lose Supermicro they make some of my favourite unobtanium. It is an odd leak. Hopefully we can get some technical details if actually true. What no one...
