This is how memes should be deployed. Subtly and unironically.
There's a custom PCB I can't go into details about but whoever designed it is brilliant. It has six layers but on each layer are different parts of the troll face. Looking at the board normally you can't see it but if you put it up to a light to see the [url=http://www.eurocircuits.com/clientmedia/ecImage/pages/copper-layers/Image5.png]layer identification marks[/url] you see the whole face.
[QUOTE=Levelog;50875141]I really need to get to an ikea while I'm here...[/QUOTE]
I like going to IKEA because it makes me remember that I'll probably not have a cool kitchen, living room or bedroom like in the demo rooms.
I can run my R9 270X at 1225MHz stable, but launching Chrome will make my primary display go ape-shit crazy.
I hate Chrome so much. 1200MHz seems to not do that, guess I'll stick with that.
I managed to run Fire Strike stress test (that's like 20 loops of Fire Strike I think) at 1225MHz core, 1500MHz memory), without problems. Had to give it some extra millivolts, but it's fine.
Not bad for a chip that came out of manufacturing with a 1050MHz base clock, and then won the silicon lottery hard enough that ASUS deemed it worthy to run 1120MHz.

1210Mhz core, 1525Mhz memory.

I was looking for a LCD panel and I came across this gem

Just why would you use a picture like that to advertise a panel
I'll take 20
Does it come with the picture?

It comes with a download link to the photo

So I cracked open the SSD I previously used in my laptop, and it's pretty damn impressive how far SSDs developed in the course of a few years.

This thing's 120GB and has a PCB that fills the entire space, and the 850 Evo 500 GB that I bought a few days ago fills like half the enclosure with its PCB.
Windows 10 is surprisingly tolerant of being imaged and loaded into a VM. 7 would have thrown a fit about that.

Could also be that MSE actually picked up something that it thinks is adware and just sends factory resets to all the browsers as a "better safe than sorry" method.
Remember, Microsoft assumes all users are afflicted with multiple head traumas and dementia.

Probably because most users use their machines as if they have those problems.

Still doesn't mean they should take the "lowest common denominator" approach for everyone, that's just pure laziness on their part.
If I hand the customer the WiFi information and they state at it for more then 2 seconds I'm not letting them do it themselves I call it the Microsoft approach.

Samsung began mass producing a single chip SSDs recently btw
[t]http://www.legitreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/512GB-BGA-NVMe-SSD.jpg[/t]
There's 512GB of storage, 4Gb of DRAM, and a SSD controller all crammed into one single substrate.
Literally all Windows 10 needs is a "don't nanny me" switch and it'd be perfect (other than privacy concerns, but y'know). But I get the feeling that's unlikely to happen.
Speaking of Windows 10, it keeps failing to do updates, so every time I boot up I have to wait half an hour for it to fail again. Manually installing did no good. Incredibly annoyed I have to troubleshoot this shit now even though I don't give a shit about the updates it's trying to install.
At least now I have more motivation to move the remaining bits of my workflow to Linux. I can move my 3D printing software pretty easily (and it's better there too since it won't fucking restart for updates in the middle of the night and ruin the print, which has happened once or twice), but I'll have to see if I can get away with using Autodesk products in a virtual machine with no GPU Passthrough.

If it weren't for the SATA connector lacking any power of its own, you could make a flash drive-sized SSD and just plug it directly into the SATA port, making for the best cable management ever.

I can't really see SATA being used for SSD too much into the future since it's a huge bottleneck for them. I would expect more tiny SSD NVMe modules like this though:

Probably not, but it might be a decent upgrade path for old (pre-M.2) computers. Or it might just be a weird useless idea, like most of my random thoughts.
And does SATA Express have power coming from the host-side connector? There's an entire generation of motherboards with SATAe ports that will otherwise never be used. It's PCIe internally, which avoids the bottleneck, and normal PCIe connectors provide power.

Like a SATA DOM?

Gaining popularity in the commodity server market, Supermicro even has ones that can be powered just from the SATA port (Needs to be a specific port though, that's the catch), no power connector needed.
It's a shame esatap isn't very popular. It's really neat being able to plug in a laptop HDD with just a cable. No USB adapters or anything.
I'm still dismayed that eSATA wasn't quickly stomped out by some standard that supplied power and data over the one cable. If something tries to make it standard now god knows how hard that will be.

Well USB kinda does that now. USB PD over Type-C. It may not be a native interface like eSATA but with USB 3.1 the overhead should be pretty good.

That reminds me of those godawful WD drives that have a USB connection directly on the drive so if you nuke the USB you lose your data.

Ohhh I hate these things. Means you couldn't just rip the damn drive from the enclosure and use it. I have one sitting near me and it taunts me.
