And they called me a madman for spending months tuning the CO of my 5800X3D to its limits and also OCing my 3200 mhz Crucial Memory to 3800 Mhz. It seems this setup will stay with me until DDR6 arrives. I hope the prices get back to normal by then.
Here's a reply from an ―allegedly― ex-employee at Msft you can find in the comment section of the article:
There is a lot of confusion on this thread between NVMe Storage Controller drivers and Disk drivers, e.g. "we have always been able to replace NVMe drivers". Previous driver releases, e.g. by Samsung, are for the NVMe Storage Controller, which you don't see in Device Manager unless you view by connection. The inbox driver is "Standard NVM Express Controller" or stornvme.sys. Samsung's driver was secnvme.sys.
The title of this TPU story is misleading; there is no new NVMe (controller) driver, there is a new disk layer driver nvmedisk.sys that is just an optimization of disk.sys that provides marginally better performance for NVMe drives (some SCSI command translations removed; multiple queues supported; presumably latency optimization and cache flush behavior). This is not really an "NVMe driver" because it's not the controller driver. The disk layer driver is not super specific to a particular storage medium; this is just optimization to pair better with stornvme. It's possible that you could force install nvmedisk.sys on HDD and it may even work, albeit unreliably and/or slowly.
Source: I worked at MS for decades. You know that checkbox in Device Manager for drives that says "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device"? That was me.
Very tragic. Last night I was watching Candy's documentary and Brooks mentioned his father, Carl, then i googled him up and next googled Rob. He directed really cool movies. I was shocked today when I heard what happened to him.
That's exactly what's going on here. Narrative / concepts are in stake here. By controlling the narrative you can influence or alter the perception of people about things.
Instead they bought Star Wars, and gave it the Tron treatment to make sure that died as well.
actually, disney's SW was going to be John Carter and they killed it in favor of SW.
Which is telling as fuck, when they have Marvel and Star Wars, but dont know how to make them appeal to the younger male audience so much that they need to buy another IP.
Well, disney never knew how to handle SW at any point. They had luck with The Mandalorian S01 and with Rogue One, and Rebels, but that's it… they are a girls/family company and that's it. Pixar was other thing but now they are Pixaren't after disney bought them.
