  • doubt that there are a lot of systems with damaged memory floating around.

    Let’s say that you would be surprised if we actually started checking this. I will not disclose my occupation but there are thousands of critical telco infrastructure pieces of equipment that run not only a non-ECC ram because of cost cutting, but with actually broken DRAM modules, regularly rebooting at least a few times a day and causing local outages…

    Back to the topic at hand - doesn’t it seem strange that only CPU4 finds issues in memtest86? It could be a CPU or even motherboard that got damaged and not the DRAM itself, no?

















  • I have a pointer heavy workload due to being forced to use Windows at work AND scrolling heavy workload due to me reading tons of technical data sheets and others people code every day. Typical mouse scroll wheels survive up to a year with me until they start skipping lines, gaming mouses up to two years. My last purchase was Logitech G502 which I selected deliberately due to it having heavy metal scroll wheel. So far it exceeded the two years mark :)

    Do you maybe have some thoughts or tips that would help me better organize my setup? I am looking at buying Kinesis or Glove80, but that does nothing for my scrolling problem.
