Instagram changes nudity policy after backlash
by Paul Hill
Instagram has changed its nudity policy following backlash from users after it deleted posts from the account of plus-size model Nyome Nicholas-Williams. According to The Guardian, the deleted posts showed Nicholas-Williams with her eyes closed and arms around her breasts; this apparently violated the firm’s nudity policy and it turns out not everyone may have been held to the same standards.
Instagram was accused of discrimination in August after black people and plus-size models reported that the platform had been deleting their posts. In the case of Nyome Nicholas-Williams, Instagram also threatened to delete her account despite it being verified and having more than 62,000 followers.
Responding to the deletions of posts and the racism accusations, a spokesperson for Instagram said:
People like Nicholas-Williams will not have to wait long before they can begin posting on Instagram unimpeded because the company confirmed that the policy change will apply across both Instagram and Facebook starting this week.

Yesterday I acquired a Gateway p5 133. Boy does this computer bring back memories. I'm going to use it for some old school dos gaming. The computer came with 16 megs of memory which probably would have been ok, but I wanted to add more.
I was worried such an old machine might take a special type of memory that I might not have but nope, I had a box full of it! So I upgraded it to 64 megs.
When I went out to my shed, into my tub of REALLY old audio card, I came across an ESS ISA card. Turns out that is one of the best Sound Blaster clone cards. Installed it and it works great.
I also have an STB PCI graphics card which I’m not sure if it has any 3d graphics acceleration. I guess I'll find out when I install the drivers.
What should be arriving by the end of the week is a Compact Flash to PCI adapter. This will allow me to put in a compact flash card, into the back of the computer. It also allows me to remove it and plug it into a card reader so I can easily transfer files to and from the old computer, because that machine is a pain to take the case off.
While I wait for a CF card to IDE and the CF card, I just pull the hard drive out and hook it up to a spare workstation I have setup, then just boot in to a PE environment and transfer some files to the hard drive and connect it back to the gateway. I'm going to be using that for the time being until my compact flash card and reader arrives. I had originally thought about upgrading the CD drive and using CD-RW disks. I did find a brand new sealed RW disk that wasn't even opened but had some issues burning the disk. I have quite the collection of IDE and Sata CD/DVD drives to choose from.
Installed some dos games and they run great. Also installed Windows 95 tonight, and that 64 megs of ram really speeds things up.

So my dad found this computer when he was tearing down our old shed on the farm. It's a gateway P5 60. What's sad is I have some old ISA sound cards I recently found and I also wanted to dabble in some DOS (To bring back the good old days). So this computer is exactly what I could have used. How sad.
What I hadn't realized until I started taking it apart, is that the IO on the machines was mounted to the back of the case and connected to the motherboard via a cable. The only IO on that board is keyboard and mouse.

Today, I was looking for something to do, and thought, "What could be more fun than to clean up and old gateway computer"
It had 1 nasty looking cap, so it removed that and got a 10 pack ordered. So now i'll have more in the future.
Over the years i've collected a bunch of differnet desktops and parts
Also have a collections of laptops too.. there are 6 more that were not in that pile

AMD adds three new EPYC processors to the lineup, promising higher performance per core
by João Carrasqueira
AMD's second-generation EPYC lineup of server processors is getting three new members starting today. The company has announced the EPYC 7F32, 7F52, and 7F72 processors, with 8, 16, and 24 cores, respectively.
The new processors promise the highest performance per core of any x86 server CPU, edging out AMD's own EPYC 7262, which was the top-rated CPU by the SPEC. It also promises 17% higher performance for SQL Server workloads and 47% higher performance in VMmark compared to the competition. The processors also include support for PCIe 4.0, and the AMD Infinity, which helps with overall performance.
“AMD EPYC continues to redefine the modern data center, and with the addition of three powerful new processors we are enabling our customers to unlock even better outcomes at the heart of the enterprise market,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager of the server business unit at AMD. “With our trusted partners, together we are pushing the limits of per core performance and value in hyperconverged infrastructure, commercial HPC and relational database workloads.”
For those interested, here are the specs of the three new EPYC processors:
Processor Cores/Threads TDP Base Frequency / Max Boost Frequency L3 Cache (per core) Price 7F32 8/16 180W 3.7GHz/~3.9GHz 128MB (16MB) $2,100 7F52 16/32 240W 3.5GHz/~3.9GHz 256MB (16MB) $3,100 7F72 24/48 240W 3.2GHz/~3.7GHz 192MB (8MB) $2,450 The processors are available now through a multitude of OEM partners.
