    I’m not sure what hardware you’re running, but with my motherboard, to get 4x4x4x4 out of a slot requires sacrificing GPU bandwidth from x16 to x8

    to get 4x NVMe drives out of a single PCIe slot without bifurcation you need a card that has it’s own RAID controller. These aren’t cheap (think ~$500) as they are specialty hardware, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a whole professional workstation or server.





  • They very likely dont have read or write access to the files on your device.

    However, they probably do have the ability to remotely wipe the device. This feature is typically used in enterprise if a phone or laptop is lost or stolen to prevent bad actors from getting access to the data stored on the device.


  • Not only does password rotation not add to security, it actually reduces it.

    Assuming a perfect world where users are using long randomly generated strong passwords it’s a good idea and can increase security. However, humans are involved and it just means users change their passwords from “Charlie1” to “Charlie2” and it makes their passwords even easier to guess. Especially if you know how often the passwords change and roughly when someone was hired.

    Ideally, your users just use a password manager and don’t know any of their credentials except for the one to access that password manager.

    If they need to manually type them in, password length should be prioritized over almost any other condition. A full sentence makes a great unique password with tons of entropy that is easy to remember and hard to guess.







  • The only use reviews have is to make sure that the app youre downloading is most likely the original and not a malicious lookalike.

    Artificial content has poisoned the web to the point that adding “reddit” to the end of google searches so that you could get real human content was commonplace.

    I miss the days where you had to learn HTML if you wanted to share your opinions online.
