Here’s a reply from an ―allegedly― ex-employee at Msft you can find in the comment section of the article:

There is a lot of confusion on this thread between NVMe Storage Controller drivers and Disk drivers, e.g. “we have always been able to replace NVMe drivers”. Previous driver releases, e.g. by Samsung, are for the NVMe Storage Controller, which you don’t see in Device Manager unless you view by connection. The inbox driver is “Standard NVM Express Controller” or stornvme.sys. Samsung’s driver was secnvme.sys.

The title of this TPU story is misleading; there is no new NVMe (controller) driver, there is a new disk layer driver nvmedisk.sys that is just an optimization of disk.sys that provides marginally better performance for NVMe drives (some SCSI command translations removed; multiple queues supported; presumably latency optimization and cache flush behavior). This is not really an “NVMe driver” because it’s not the controller driver. The disk layer driver is not super specific to a particular storage medium; this is just optimization to pair better with stornvme. It’s possible that you could force install nvmedisk.sys on HDD and it may even work, albeit unreliably and/or slowly.

Source: I worked at MS for decades. You know that checkbox in Device Manager for drives that says “Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device”? That was me.

Does NIST actually said that? Secure pwd+no change it?

The data they have compiled from years of people using Win 10 and Msoft Edge.

Like if the cinema industry wasn’t crap already! Disney fucked it up with its Marvel and SW movies.

Very tragic. Last night I was watching Candy’s documentary and Brooks mentioned his father, Carl, then i googled him up and next googled Rob. He directed really cool movies. I was shocked today when I heard what happened to him.

When the IA bubble pops everything will return to normal.

That’s exactly what’s going on here. Narrative / concepts are in stake here. By controlling the narrative you can influence or alter the perception of people about things.

They recycled the script from Stallone’s Driven, even the main character. Both were terrible movies misrepresenting the sport.

actually, they recycled Days of Thunder.

Instead they bought Star Wars, and gave it the Tron treatment to make sure that died as well.

actually, disney’s SW was going to be John Carter and they killed it in favor of SW.

Which is telling as fuck, when they have Marvel and Star Wars, but dont know how to make them appeal to the younger male audience so much that they need to buy another IP.

Well, disney never knew how to handle SW at any point. They had luck with The Mandalorian S01 and with Rogue One, and Rebels, but that’s it… they are a girls/family company and that’s it. Pixar was other thing but now they are Pixaren’t after disney bought them.

Yes.

Which ones do you recommend?

How hard is to install KOreader on a Kobo?

What website is being showed in the screenshots?

Same here. When they bought SW, 1313 was cancelled. I remember i had a friend who had faith in disney owning SW… he isn’t my friend anymore (because other things) but he won’t stop bashing disney for what they did to the IP, lol.

How funny, i always thought he did QII as well. Thanks for correcting me.

I’m going to copy two comments from TPU that i think are the most accurate regarding this proposal:

This doesn’t solve anything at all. You still have to plug power into the motherboard, likely via the problematic 12V6X2 connector once they extend it beyond 250W. Now you also need to dedicate additional (expensive) PCB layers and throw a lot more copper traces (expensive) at it too. It’s just a glorified extension cable that adds another connector to the equation. Why go from the PSU directly to the GPU when you can now do it with extra steps!! (/s) Cable still required, but now you need a new motherboard, too… Why? Because cables are evil, apparently and this fits the dumb BTF form factor that’s all about form over function, for people with infinite wallets.

This is a stupid idea. It should be separate as always. It also makes problems worse if connector-gate happens again, as now you fry a much larger PCB instead of tiny GPU board. And high power means you need to worry about heat on the mobo now too. It makes repair difficult too. But I’m not surprised. Asus always sucked on the user friendly aspect. Worst customer support. Apparently that’s the trend to keep up with the “You’ll own nothing and be happy” motto of stream everything, throwaway everything, get in debt all the time mentality.

I’m listening to it rn… it isn’t “cyberpunky” but the sound that made Quake II great as it was is still there.

Could you point me to a model to do that and instructions on how get it up and running?

So, you are saying it’s expensive?

I agree with you.
