Is there a PSTN number in mainland China that is answered by a computer instead of by a person that I can try calling to see if I can still call mainland China with my configuration? Apparently calls to mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Jun 15 05:21:54 but not Macao are enabled for my VoIP.ms account. I can still call a number in San Francisco, California that is answered by a computer instead of by a person (the DNA Lounge Infoline). Jun 15 05:59:46 I removed the 0 after the +86 in the office number, now I get a spoken recording in Chinese then English saying something like “Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service.” (in English, presumably the same in Chinese) so it seems like I can still call mainland China with my configuration. Jun 15 07:55:42 For LGA775 motherboards that I can still buy now, over a decade since this generation of hardware was new, is there an alternative to the Gigabyte Ultra Durable series if I want all solid capacitors? This model is currently available on eBay and looks nice: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-EP45-UD3L-rev-10/sp#sp I do see some possible downsides but probably nothing critical. Jun 15 08:00:15 The Asus P5E-VM DO was my favourite model of LGA775 motherboard but it has electrolytic capacitors that do not last in the long term so now my company has Yet Another motherboard that we had to stop using due to blown/bulging electrolytic capacitors. Jun 15 08:21:58 why use obsolete stuff, especially if you have to buy new hardware to go with it? Jun 15 08:27:32 luke-jr: It is not obsolete unless maybe you need EFI instead of literal BIOS for some reason. With an LGA775 DDR2 motherboard, a Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU costs only 4 CAD and 4×2-GiB DDR2-800 DIMMs for 8 GiB of main memory costs only around 30 CAD on eBay. Jun 15 08:29:59 brolin_empey: did Intel even release microcode fixes for all the security holes in that CPU? Jun 15 09:56:43 obsolete is the exact term, when something is obsolete it doesn't mean it's not functional or deployable. Spending money on very old hardware seems silly in most cases. There is a good second hand market for a bit but things move on so fast you would need a specific use case IMO. Jun 15 09:59:39 Also there was the great capacitor plague due to faulty electrolyte around a decade ago. Jun 15 10:04:01 :| Jun 15 10:10:21 Intel are still struggling with more and more exploits some will never be patched due to concerns over performance. Jun 15 10:16:19 I feel that's why they are refreshing the same old stuff for now. They need to look to a new process that will be secure for long term development. Jun 15 10:31:11 Maxdaman1us: Indeed i could download both NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2 and nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_7-rc7_armel.deb from web.archive.org, thank You very much! I was always searching for gingerbread.tar.bz2, but that is probably not much newer or even older than NITDroid-0.0.9 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jun 15 20:36:34 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 15 20:38:15 2020 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 16 03:06:37 2020
