Cloudflare sometimes preventing access to some sites and annoying CAPTCHA challenges due to CGNAT are relevant to the average person. Full IPv6 support should be a requirement for both ISPs as well as websites and other servers.

This may make sense if the extended warranty is limited to defects introduced by the remote change. I.e., if they remotely break your device, they should be responsible for fixing the damage. A full warranty extension doesn't seem reas

Doesn't Facebook require users to verify the email address with a confirmation email? If so, the only Facebook spam you should be able to get would be such confirmation emails. Or what am I missing?

Many retail AM4 motherboards support ECC with retail Ryzen CPUs. At least on Linux it works as expected. ECC UDIMMs can be difficult to find but it shouldn't be necessary to buy a TR Pro for ECC if memory capacity, I/O lanes and t

You can order a USB HDMI capture dongle for around USD 10 on AliExpress, e.g., from AIXXCO. It's not perfect but it should suffice to setup or debug a headless system. TinyPilot uses such a dongle for server KVM purposes.

This is incorrect, to the best of my knowledge. 3900X and 3950X both have a 142W package power limit (PPT, 35% above TDP) at stock, with a properly working motherboard. As I understand it, not even short boosts are allowed to use more power

TRX40 with a Threadripper 3960X supports PCIe 4.0 (64 CPU lanes) and 8x ECC UDIMM. This would be a quad channel configuration (2 DIMMs per channel), not 8 channels and DDR4-3200 ECC UDIMM may be hard to find at retail. Threadripper is based

Do you need RDIMM/LRDIMM or would ECC UDIMM suffice? If the latter, have you considered a Ryzen 3950X or a Threadripper 3960X? There are plenty of X570/TRX40 motherboards that properly support ECC UDIMM (but there are also some th

That's not accurate. The initial implementation (in Linux 5.4) was also a derivative of Samsung exFAT code, however, it was not contributed by Samsung directly and it was based on a much older version. Samsung then suggested¹ it would

Ryzen SKUs with a 105W TDP have a power limit (PPT) of 142W at stock. 65W TDP SKUs have a power limit of 88W. I.e., while these CPUs are allowed to use more power than their TDP, it's limited to 35% above the TDP. This means that the a

No, the 56C/112T Intel Xeon Platinum 9282 is a BGA part, it's not socketed. You can buy this niche product only as part of a server with liquid cooling. And the successors to Cascade Lake seem to switch to the LGA4189 socket to su

There are no Epyc workstations chips with clock speeds comparable to Threadripper/Xeon-W. At least for the currently released products. And thus I consider Threadripper the closest competition to Xeon-W, not Epyc. AMD also lists ECC me

This is correct for desktop and server. However, AMD hasn't said anything about the HEDT I/O die yet, as far as I know. Assuming Zen 2-based Threadripper will still have quad channel memory and 64 PCIe lanes, AMD might go for a me

There is no NUC with a 6C/12T i7, though. An important question is whether the Mac mini will throttle the i7 much for thermal reasons.
