Does not have a DRAM cache.

The S770 and S880 have their model numbers reversed, and I wish I had reviewed them in the other order. The S770 is a better drive, with a better bundle in that it comes with a heatsink. They both suffer from wildly inaccurate thermal reporting, and they both come from Fanxiang, which is essentially a no-name brand as far as much of our readership will be concerned. With that said, both drives are fast and incredibly inexpensive. If you are in the market for fast and cheap, buy an S770. If it is out of stock, you can buy the S880!

I'm sorry for the people affected, but there's something in me that's happy seeing Oracle fail.

As for the general point of the article - I do agree. Obviously, being a Linux enthusiast I would prefer if local gov had it's own IT with some shared requirements for interop with other councils.

telling those living within a 50 mile (80km) radius of a Big Blue office to be at their desks at least three days a week

This feels a bit discriminatory, but also sort of an obvious solution for those who can move or pretend to have moved to their parents' place, etc.

Big corporations still have major investments in real estate to justify to shareholders, and management at many companies prefer to see bums on seats – a phenomenon Microsoft previously termed productivity paranoia.

Happens incredible rarely, but I'm with Microsoft on this one.


In general I do see the point of mingling, especially during the probation period, when so many things are new. But the forceful, out-of-thin-air number of days in the office is daft. They could at least make it moving average over a quarter or two. Or a whole year.

An interesting read on chip making from an unusual source.

I've enjoyed reading the article and, after going down the rabbit whole of CVEs, NVD and the like, I now wholeheartedly support Daniel's stance. Current CVE management is stupid and broken.

I have to say I feel in a similar way, but never had enough time allocated to put it to words.

I've always thought it was just cheap trash with fake capacity - seems like I've been wrong.

While definitely not an enterprise grade drive, I think it makes sense for a regular home setup.
