  • “Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault.”

    • The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
    • Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
    • The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?

    That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.










  • If both networks 10.100.100.0/24? And 10.20.20.0/24 share the same level 2 Ethernet segment/vlan/broadcast domain, you don’t even need the third nic, you can setup a secondary IPv4 address on the private nic on the 10.20.20.0/24 network.

    I would not call that best practice, but if the number of host on the network is reasonable and you are aware of the security problems created, there’s nothing really wrong with this setup.

    Having two nics on the same Ethernet network is actually trickier since you have to do ARP filtering.



  • I have no experience about what you are trying to achieve, but rdma and related technologies (infiniband, qlogic, sr-iov, ROCE) is not it. These are network technologies that permit high bandwidth/low latency data transfer between hosts. Most of these bypass the IP stack entirely.

    Infiniband is a network stack that enable RDMA, it’s only vendor is now NVIDIA which acquired mellanox. Qlogic was another vendor, but it got acquired by Intel that tried to market it as Omnipath, but it was spinned off to Cornelis network.

    Sr-iov is a way to share an infiniband card to a virtual machine on the same host.

    ROCE is an implementation of the rdma software stack over ethernet instead of infiniband.



  • English weirdly use feminine for ships, so think of it like that. But no it doesn’t achieve much.

    I don’t think it change the way we think about objects much, but probably unconsciously yes. For example, France itself is feminine and seeing some caricature personifying as a dude always feels weird.

    Usage dictates the gender. And some recent words are more or less controversial: gameboy, wifi, COVID, Nutella…

    When I think about the gender of a word I will usually derive it from a broader category. But that’s not always obvious, for example Gameboy is a game console (feminine) but the words game and boy are masculine. COVID is a disease (feminine) but also a virus (masculine). And in the meme a washing machine is a machine (feminine).

    You can’t not use gender since french doesn’t have neutral pronouns. But I don’t think it’s frowned upon for a non native speaker to make this kind of mistakes.


  • Looks like it’s probably fake, the only source of this claim is some tweet from a random account. I couldn’t find anything relevant after last spring, but I suppose the divorce is still not judged. At the time she claimed she was confident she would get her fair share.

    In France, doing this at this scale without paying any taxes would probably be very illegal.
