Possibly to deal with the ozone things like this can produce.

Sounds like it’s actually using XSLT or some kind of content validation. Which to be honest sounds like a good practice.

It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.

Quarterly reports demand that line go up.

The line must always go up.

I think Secure boot is intended to check that the boot loader itself is signed.

This is a way to mitigate viruses and malware that infects the boot loader so it can reinstall itself if it’s removed by AV, or something else.

If you can create a boot loader that is signed in such a way that secure boot can’t tell it’s invalid then you can do some nasty stuff.

Closest analogy I can think of is verisigns private key being leaked and there’s no fast and easy way to revoke and replace it without wreaking havoc on currently installed OS’s machines.

Considering Gamers Nexus track record it’ll be interesting to see how this works out

Intel’s CPUs Are Failing, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs

I wonder if it’s still used for POS such as registers?

So we’re back to PXI PXE? Everything old is new again.

Neat technical problem to solve though just for fun

Possible something on your motherboard has PCIe lanes that are dedicated to GPU when it’s slotted, otherwise they can be used for other devices?

For example here’s a post about m.2 slots that, when used, affect the PCI on a particular board. May be worth checking your boards manual to see if there’s something similar.

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/questions-about-a-mb-im-looking-at-asrock-z790-pg-riptide.3787003/

The answer not only seemed a HUGE disappointment, but a bit baffling. The pdf manual says if you occupy that 5th m.2 slot, which is the Gen 5 one, the Pci-E 1 slot is automatically downgraded to 8x. This I thought would be unacceptable if running a behemoth like the RTX 4090 I eventually plan to get, as it requires a lot of power and bandwidth.

It’s already been used far beyond its planned operational status and everything since then has been gravy.

It’s amazing that they’re able to find workarounds to keep it useful for scientific tests and analysis.

I guess the trouble is that you don’t want to read the volumes where the db files are because they’re not guaranteed to be consistent at a given point in time right?

Does the given engine support a backup method/utility that can be used to copy files to some volume on a set schedule?

That one i get at least. But race condition is using race in the sense of a competition.

It’s scary to think about… a lot of people are now thinking about how we can best isolate our build test process so it works as a test suite but doesn’t have any way to interact with the output or environment.

It’s just blows my mind to think of the levels of obfuscation this process used and how easy it would be to miss it.

Turbulence is normal but can get nasty. Definitely wear one unless I need to go to the restroom or something

And bad actors could really do some damage if they can put a gcode file that is then printed

Maybe it crashes the head to damage it… or runs the extruder or bed at high temps outside what should be safely printed
