Adata’s original XPG SX8200 Pro featured Silicon Motion’s SM2262ENG NVMe SSD controller (often referred to as SM2262EN) and IMFT 64L TLC NAND flash.

Now, Adata is shipping the same SSD SKU, but with Silicon Motion’s SM2262G NVMe controller instead of the top-performing ENG model. Adata also pairs the controller with Samsung’s fourth-generation 64L TLC flash, and not the original IMFT 64L TLC.

After reviewing multiple SSDs with the same SMI controller, the SX8200 Pro stuck out as the top-performer time and time again. We didn’t know exactly why; the difference between similar products with the same controller often come from different firmwares. However, we did make an interesting discovery just a few months ago. Thanks to decoding tools, we found that most competing SM2262ENG-powered SSDs come with the controller clocked at 625 MHz, including the 256GB, 512GB, and 2TB Adata XPG SX8200 Pro samples we had on hand. However, the 1TB Adata XPG SX8200 Pro we received at launch was clocked 25MHz higher, operating at a healthy 650 MHz.

Idiots: Very Dark Grey Lives Matter Coming https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24823/idiots-very-dark-grey-lives-matter-coming Wed, 02 Dec 2020 10:36:22 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24823@/talks/discussions

Students at Manchester University have demanded that the word “black” when used as a negative expression such as the word “blackmail” should be banned because it is “divisive.”

Citing concerns of black people, the report noted that there were “linguistic concerns about Black being associated with negative expressions” such as “blackmail” and “black sheep.”

After the report labeled the use of words which included “black” as “divisive and not inclusive,” the university’s student union demanded that “any other use of the word ‘black’ as an adjective to express negative connotations” should be banned in research papers, lecture slides, and books published by professors.

The next step will be to ban word "black" as having bad history and connotations and replace it with "politically correct and inclusive very dark grey".

Coronavirus: It seems like US had COVID already in December https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24822/coronavirus-it-seems-like-us-had-covid-already-in-december Wed, 02 Dec 2020 09:49:46 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24822@/talks/discussions

To determine if SARS-CoV-2 reactive antibodies were present in sera prior to the first identified case in the U.S. on January 19, 2020, residual archived samples from 7,389 routine blood donations collected by the American Red Cross from December 13, 2019 to January 17, 2020, from donors resident in nine states (California, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin) were tested at CDC for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Specimens reactive by pan-immunoglobulin (pan Ig) enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the full spike protein were tested by IgG and IgM ELISAs, microneutralization test, Ortho total Ig S1 ELISA, and receptor binding domain / Ace2 blocking activity assay.

Of the 7,389 samples, 106 were reactive by pan Ig. Of these 106 specimens, 90 were available for further testing. Eighty four of 90 had neutralizing activity, 1 had S1 binding activity, and 1 had receptor binding domain / Ace2 blocking activity >50%, suggesting the presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies. Donations with reactivity occurred in all nine states.

In modern world it is bad idea to look at the doctor and see them as some fully isolated human being, most of the time they are element of huge machine.

Coronavirus showed huge flaws of such machines, as it bend and deform people, try to turn them into mindless instructions followers who avoid responsibility.

Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya - why Nazis and capitalists fear her so much still https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24815/zoya-kosmodemyanskaya-why-nazis-and-capitalists-fear-her-so-much-still Sun, 29 Nov 2020 21:21:17 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24815@/talks/discussions image

November 29 is the anniversary of the heroic death of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya (1923-1941).

All last 30 years capitalists tried to erase her and dump loads of shit into her.

An unknown old peasant, from whom the journalists first heard about Zoya, was struck by this: “She was hanged, and yet she spoke openly. They hung her up, and she kept threatening them ... ” . We do not have the exact text of what Zoya said, only an approximate retelling. According to one of the witnesses, everything looked like this:

“They led her up to the gallows. She walked evenly, with her head raised, silently, proudly. They brought me to the gallows. There were many Germans and civilians around the gallows. They brought her to the gallows, commanded to expand the circle around the gallows and began to photograph her. She shouted: “Citizens! You don’t stand, don’t look, but you need to help fight! This death of mine is my achievement. "

Then she said: “Comrades, victory will be ours. German soldiers, before it's too late, surrender. " The German officer yelled angrily. But she continued: "The Soviet Union is invincible and will not be defeated." Then they set up the box. She stood on the box herself without any command. A German came up and began to put on the noose. At that time she shouted: “No matter how much you hang us, you don’t execute everyone, we are 170 million. But our comrades will avenge you for me. "

Big not and lesson to all capitalists who want to delay inevitable - the day comes where you will be hanging across the roads and people will be spitting on your bodies and no one will remember you, but they will tell "For Zoya!".

Score again, how soon it will be your credit score, your salary score?

Btw it is already on and works by default if you use any Microisoft Cloud Office or any other tools.

You management if they have corporate license can look at all this.
