@implr @whitequark @azonenberg Maybe not for much longer, given the way storage prices are going... I get the impression that there is a lot of it left over from back when Intel were pushing it for the desktop market.

@whitequark i like the fact that when i google that, the search results contain a bunch of references, some manual entries, but apparently no explanations anywhere.

oxide was right to remove the bios root and branch

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

i found an explanation (or what passes for an explanation) for the PCIe Stop & Scream option

what the fuck does this mean? ask someone smarter than I am

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

please also enjoy this beautiful enumeration

• Smart Auto
• Auto
• Enabled
• Disabled
• Manual

i don't know where to begin. would "Enabled" or "Disabled" not imply "Manual"? what the fuck is the difference between "Auto" and "Smart Auto"??

@whitequark fuck yeah american megatrends

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

why do they call it PCIe Stop & Scream when you enabled DS packet on DMI in with the EP bit set of out in their UT bit set

@whitequark i was going to ask "how" regarding the splitting, but the AliExpress search results for "pcie riser x4x4x4x4" speak for themselves

[ingalovinde@embracing.space]

@niconiconi @whitequark but that's Broadwell, just one generation before Skylake, surely its IPC is not _that_ low?
And the one they're giving out isn't even low-end, but 10-core.
