Long been my goto for comparing CPU performance but this I find hard to interpret

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu...5U&id=5294

Benchmarks ranging from 10,000 to over 20,000

How is that now meaningful?

Didnt see this coming.
Not a big fan of hydrogen at all, but I guess the market pressure, from the Japanese market in particular may have been a factor?

Worth watching. Husband and I watched it today. An interesting watch.
Anyone else seen it?

Somebody's got a good sense of humour in putting this Twitter video together. Maybe he's planning on playing the insanity card to avoid prison?

Worth a look for anyone interested. Mainly 19th century stuff found after the quakes.

not much to say really is there - there's always a price to pay...

Quote:A judge ordered the liquidation of Infowars host Alex Jones' personal assets, clearing the way for potential payouts to families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting.
However, US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez ruled against a liquidation of Mr JonesÔÇÖ company Free Speech Systems, which owns the Infowars brand.
Relatives of the victims have won a total of $1.5bn (£1.2bn) in defamation judgements against Mr Jones and his company over his false statements about the attack.

Just had a bloody sharp earthquake down here in CHCH, bunch of less than fond memories come flooding back...

Presumably meant as an extremely bad joke, this was a comment from a person calling himself 'Donny boy'

Quote:https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/entertain...a-pet.html
Tiki Taane says he is willing to "invite" over a commenter who said on his social media that 'every Kiwi male should have M─üori as a pet'.
Taane shared a screenshot of the comment made by "Donny Boy" on his Facebook page, saying that he was "here" for the original poster to talk to.
"Although 'Donny Boy' is clearly a fake page, I'd still like to invite him over to my whare for a korero and a kai. I'm interested in unpacking what has happened to Donny for him to think and feel this way," he wrote."Is this kind of thinking generational and passed down to him by his wh─ünau, or was he hurt or mistreated by someone of M─üori descent which has manifested into this type of thinking.

WD MyBook (Green) 1.5TB, badly buggered, raw read errors - the data is now recovered as best can be and returned to client.

However, in the process of recovery I noticed some oddities with reported disk space

From the outset the recovered data was 335GB obtained by using testdisk on the original drive

TreeSize showed me the disk should have had around 5000GB, in fact two of the largest folders respectively reported 250GB and 150GB each, yet test disk was only able to recover 150GB and 50GB respectively for each

I imaged the original disk with HDDsuperclone to a 4tb external drive (30 odd hours to complete), test disk was then able to recover more, from those two folders 250gb and 150GB iirc.  I have also run a free space scan with Photorec on the cloned drive to recover any missing/deleted files etc 

at this point I also took a Macrium Reflect image of the cloned drive. 
 
and here is where it gets weird, the Macrium Reflect image is reporting around 500GB in size when mounted in windows (893GB free of 1.36TB) when Macrium Reflect is supposed to image only the data  and ignores free space.  The image file itself is also 500GB

But when I open that MR image and get the size of all contents it is only around the 335GB mark, same as testdisk recovered. Somewhere there is 150GB+ unaccounted for in that image file... Recycle bin and system volume info are negligible and  accounted for 

So somehow or rather MR must know that the extra data is there and including it even though it isn't there...
I ran photorec freespace scan on the mounted MR image just in case but it found no files in that extra space?

I'm not sure if this is likely to be real data and how to go about finding it in a more meaningful way than Photorec which bastardised the file names, or is it just the reporting of the partition sizes that has got a  bit messed up... 

Sorry its a bit rambling but wouldn't mind any thoughts on this, client is happy with the data, I just wouldn't mind some clarity around this extra/missing space
