    The Ultimate Geek Keychain

    It's cool but the process seems inefficient with all the 'local lapping'... Couldn't he start with some device to apply even pressure across the whole chip?

    Is anyone running Linux in Hyper-V?

    I run Debian and Pi-Hole on Hyper-V. Runs great. The Distros should have Hyper-V services built in to the kernel. I have attempted to install the integration services once for FreeBSD couldn't get very far though.

    Snake Oil Software: How SoftRAM Hoodwinked The World

    yea that sounds right. Did it perform as advertised? We never bought it. Eventually just upgraded to a slotted Athlon that could run Grim Fandango.

    What We Learned About SSDs In 2015

    First of all can we confirm if this guy is getting kickbacks from a company heavily vested in spinning rust. My money's on dell/emc "sponsoring his research" Some things to chew on: What are the rebuild times on SSD arrays like? In a 1U server you can have 10 DAS SSD; samsung has a 16TB drive...

    Cost of VM software?
