CAVEAT : I am not responsible for any data loss, device malfunction, divorce, flood, job loss, penile retraction or any other event that might happen as a result of embarking on this quest. I advise you conduct proper research on the subject before taking any steps on your computer

Hyper-threading is Intel's proprietary simultaneous multithreading (SMT) implementation used to improve parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once) performed on x86 microprocessors. (Definition from Wikipedia)

For each physical core on your CPU's processor, the operating system addresses two virtual cores and shares the workload between them when possible.

In layman terms, assuming your CPU is a bus with 4 seats, Intel's conductor puts two passengers on each seat so the bus can transport 8 passengers at once. The bus performs like an 8 passenger vehicle when it is actually a 4 passenger vehicle.

A processor might be able to perform 4 arithmetic operations every clock cycle, yet be limited to 2 operations per cycle by nature of the running program. This would leave 2 idle “slots”, which wastes performance. Hyperthreading attempts to fill these slots by running another program at the same time. (I culled this part from an answer on Quora)

Hyper-threading works on the basis that there would be stall times where the cores are idle and tries to maximise efficiency by adding extra threads when possible. Continuing with the analogy, the conductor checks each passenger boarding and tells the slim ones to lap each other. The ones with big bodies are allowed to seat alone.

Many apps can benefit from hyper-threading as it increases relative performance, ceteris paribus.

Why you should Turn It Off.

Battery Drain:
There is no free lunch in Freetown. Running your cores at double their capacity implies consuming more power. If you are on a battery powered laptop, this could reach as much as 30% power savings if hyper-threading is disabled.

Temperature :
When a CPU draws more power, it is converted into heat. This makes your computer get hotter and unbearable to lap. Heat savings from disabling hyper-threading can be up to 10C or more.

Gaming
Many games actually benefit from disabling hyper threading. Many gamers have reported increased performance after their hyperthreading has been disabled. This is because hyper threading was designed to maximise efficiency on small and short computes but games do not follow this pattern.

ZombieLoad Attack:
There is an exploit on all intel cpus called the zombieload attack. This attack exploits the core of hyper-threading which combines different processes onto same core and allows data access by an attacker. No matter how strong your encryption keys or operating system is, it could be exploited at the CPU level. All major OS has been tested and they all fail in this regards. It is even possible to read Tor encryptions by an attacker using ZombieLoad. The solution offered has been to disable hyper-threading. It is recommended to update your OS with the latest security updates prior.

Disabling Hyper-Threading
Each OS / Device Manufacturer has its own process for disabling hyper-threading and I would advise you consult on this before proceeding.
Follow the official recommended process available on the manufacturer's website. To begin, you can google "How to disable hyper-threading on Bleep" where Bleep is your device name, model and OS.

Discussions on Performance Loss
Intel has stated that a 7% loss in performance should be expected from disabling hyperthreading. Apple was been conservative and said a loss of up to 40% should be expected. This has been discounted by various testers and many people. The intel figures are more realistic from tests conducted in recent studies.

My Own Experience
I disabled hyper threading on a 2012 MacBook Pro, Catalina 10.15.7, (latest security update added) after following Apple's official recommendation and have the result below:
Average: CPU Temp. dropped 10C. I can now easily put my laptop on my bare laps as I work on the bed.
Battery: I have gained more than an extra hour of battery use.
Responsiveness: The laptop does is still very responsive. I have no stuttering issues
Noticeable drawback: To start the laptop, I have to long-press the power button for a few seconds instead of the previous touch and go. Since I hardly shut down my MacBook Pro, this is not an issue. (I usually go many weeks without shutting down the laptop.)

Note:
I run Visual Studio Code with Sveltekit, Firefox Developer Edition with 4 tabs, Safari with an avg of 15 tabs, Two Servers on two terminals , Spotify, Telegram, iMessage App, Email App and some other did bits mainly on the laptop. 16gb RAM, core i7 2.3ghz.


Discussion
What's your opinion on hyper-threading and what are your views especially on the zombieload attack and performance gains/loss ?

TemTweaks:
Is that the scenario? Did you see the whole events that led to the block ? Again, you're taking the emotional standpoint. If you listen to one-sided stories in life, my dear, you will kill many innocent people


Good day

Why do you find it so hard to answer a simple question yet you can write long prose to deflect?

The question is simple. If someone claims to have made a payment to you and you have not received and the person subsequently blocks you, what would you do?

TemTweaks:
Ofcourse, we employers own the banks we send money from

Yes employers own banks.

Moving on, how would you feel if i claim i have sent funds to you and you have not received it and i block you?

Be honest

TemTweaks:
The guy in question is a leaking emotional tank. How do I know. Check how he immediately decided he was scammed because his name's didn't come in an order. Such dsyfuntional person's would make sones life miserable if not blocked.


I have no doubts he's has been scammed and I'm not saying the guy didn't scam him. But with an emotional leaking tank like this dude, such kinds would bombard and bombard and bombard till they get blocked. Simple


If after three days he doesn't get his funds, he can begin what he did. But no, his lack of emotional control won't afford him the sensibility that he needs

I asked him to provide just the date the said payment was made, watch how he snapped at me. Na me do am?

Time is a very relative concept and should be adjudicated in context.

The poster might be very broke (why would i translate a 320 page doc for 4k it i am not extremely broke in the first place) and sees the money as a survival line. A hungry man is an angry man.

When i employ people, i make sure their sweat is not dry before they are paid. That is the simple concept of human respect from time immemorial.

Salaries are sweeter if earned immediately after work is done. If the labourer needs to ask you, then you have failed as an employer.

I maintain, the onus is on the sender to prove transfer of funds and not on the recipient.

The duty of the recipient is to inform the sender, which the OP has rightly done. The sender is under the obligation to contact his bank to reconfirm transfer in case of dispute, which the employer has not done.

TemTweaks:
Why not. Your sponatenity, pressure and insecurities makes you highly unsettled. Make una dey learn patience.

Does not guarantee being scammed.

The onus is on the sender of funds to follow through, not the recipient.

Sending a screenshot doesn’t absolve you of the obligations to pay your dues.

The employer has a bad attitude and he is lucky it’s just 4k and the recipient is gentle. Many have been killed for same

God1000:
I've heard several stories like that, but I don't know how true it is.

Only mortuary attendants can answer this question, can a corpse really wake up momentarily in the middle of night and start tormenting workers in the morgue facility

I only know little about life, there's so much mysterious things happening which we are not aware of.

Yea, we do.

We even have monikers on Nairaland

Righteousness2:
Wow! What a rare catch. Looks so beautiful and Golden.

Among everything one can catch or acquire in this life, the Greatest and most Important catch is the catch that will guarantee the Eternal Safety of your soul. That catch is no other than the Lord and Savior of the World, JESUS Christ.

When some pastors were arrested in Ondo State recently for forcing people to await the coming of Christ by September, you were conspicuously absent from that thread.

It was as if all your gazillion monikers were on spiritual cleansing.

Now fish don set and we see you.

The bible says beware of the pharishees and saducees…the hypocrites…

Good morning this morning

Replace inbuilt ba3?
Isn’t that a 50:50 chance on if it’s going to function as it used?

What do u think is the cost of changing?

Can any tech do that or there are few pro that can do that?

Batteries are replaced normally even inbuilt. As long as your screen is not cracked, it can be separated and replaced.

My first point of call would be your charger.

The fact that your charger charges your iPhone does not mean it would charge your Tecno.

These Chinese phones are not known to be power efficient (which is why they put trailer batteries in their phones)

Try to get a good charger and charge overnight.

Do this before going for repairs.

PalmseedGadgets:
Thank you.

I'm using an Asus 8GB/500GB HDD system.
I'd be using my 8GB flash drive as a bootable disk. I'd boot directly from the drive.
I also have a VM on my Windows incase the installation process doesn't go as expected.

I just need the OS. I've been trying to download it, but my Wi-Fi is kinda slower. The download takes longer, and never gets completed before it fails.
I've tried downloading through the CLI, but I'm getting the same issues.

I opted for ParrotSec yesterday due to its smaller size, since I didn't get any reply, but its still not downloading.

I'd appreciate if you can help me with it.

I am not in port harcourt.

I think your main issues is your internet then.

Even if you get an installation media, running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade immediately after installing plus your third party drivers alone and necessary installs would need more than 2gb of extra data.

I would advise you get a stable internet.

Unfortunately, i am not in PH as I would have done it for you.

ayomilore:
Please what is the implication of a woman that is moving out of her husband house whenever there is a serious disagreement that bothers on her coming home late with proofing evidences of extra marital affairs on WhatsApp though he has not caught her in the act before. The woman will leave the house and come back after her family intervention like a week or two weeks. The husband is fed up as he claim this should be her 6th time of doing this in their 10 year old marriage. The marriage is blessed with two kids and the husband is very responsible man that does not engage in any extra marital affairs. The brother is contemplating stopping her from coming back when she makes another attempt. HE wants to know the implication of allowing a woman doing that so often in a marriage. Note where she moved to he does not know while the husband keeps the kids and take care of them.

That woman is not his wife.

But it is hard to teach a man how to be a man. These things are learnt before marriage, not after.

Let the man get a girlfriend. Let him stop complaining about the woman and focus on enjoying his life.

If he can raise 150k, he should do a dna test for the kids. If they are his kids, he should continue to take care of them as before. If they are not his kids, he should file for divorce.

Either way, he should get a girl who is ready to make him happy. He should even start spending nights at the girl’s place. The new girl must know how to cook good food and must meet all his fantasies.

Two can play the game.

Danielbrave08:
Nigeria Lawyer goes viral after stepping out in a native doctor costume to Court.

The lawyer explained that since the Supreme Court judge can allow hijabs in government schools then he also can wear his traditional clothes to the Court.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5OI4oEEOWg

Great.

If i was a lawyer, i would be donning complete dansiki with oversized trousers and to match under the robe.

I have no issue with the choice of clothes anyone chooses to wear. I am more concerned for the females who choose to wear hijab by their own choice.

I understand many females are being forced by parental, marital or societal pressures to wear a uniform of enslavement but the ones that wear it by personal choice?

It’s like seeing a black african putting chains on their necks in America and saying its his own right.

Your pricing is not explicit enough.

You should have said 600k divided by both tenants. Thats not hard to say.

Stating it at 600k leaves room for ambiguity and potential rip off.

PalmseedGadgets:
Please I need help with a Linux distro: willing to collect it on my USB stick.
Preferrably Ubuntu.

I'd be glad if I can get help with this.
I've been trying to download for the past week now to no avail, and my DVD drive isn't working.

Anyone with the package, let's connect please.

Location might be an issue. Let me try and help.

The file size for ubuntu 22.04 requires a minimum of 4gb flash drive.

First, ensure your flash drive is genuine. Many flash drives in Nigeria are fake with fake capacities.

Secondly, you download the file onto your system and make a bootable disk using tools like balenerEtcher.

The download size is around 3.7gb.

If you give me more details, i could assist further.

First, it is a dual boot installation or clean?

System specs?

Your procedure?

Points of failure etc

...hi

Maybe you shud get more inspiration for ur books on my exposure against the settings the sacred triangle ( trio league of wing humanoid u call gods on earth ie Yahweh ,Allah and Jesus ) programming and scheming against humanity till date.
They are also known by biologically as nip•eresidlac , lugscu and fera|•ikirinscu respectively. I talking to u were also part of this holy Trinity before fer|•kirinsu that's long story .they have universal nicknames as Satan ( Saát ) ,Lucifer and feral ( fuur ) respectively.
This is age of aquarius ,era the supreme WÆ•D will be upon u , humanity can benefit from u through ur writings as u expose the lies of the triangle , pains of me( seraphaxxxæim ) the daughter of Satan you call yahweh, sexwars between my creation Lailat( Lilith ) , Våi and Mikhail , abbadon male anacs of sacred triangle and blood carnage against d red serpents nephilims and reptilims during d Prezoic era by the sacred triangle too , let universal codes about inverseuniverse and parallelism inspire u gifted writer...my English isnt pure due to my short time learning it , as u got inspired the world will be deprogrammed and ur name shall be amonsts d supernovae of our milky way.
Lastly all this happened billions of years before tiny project Adam and eve, I av met Netflix/universal studios on d need to use my exposé for god of Egypt 2 but satanists are blocking this , I don't sell my exposure because I am hidden in shadows and I av short time on earth , uproot fear from ur soul and tell ur leagues of writers on what to do.

Let African Countries emulate this. Same sex marriage is against our culture.

Killing twins was part of your culture too less than 2 centuries ago.

Your culture still supports ritual killings in 2022

ask4double:
Wonder why they have the most powerful passport in the world? Very modest guys!

They have the strongest passport because they have one of the most developed societies in the world.

They literally invented technology as we know it today.

They visit other countries but come back home.

Your passport becomes weak when you are a visitor that refuses to leave after a visit. Pakistan, India and Nigeria rings a bell.

Righteousness2:
Wise decision.
Great to see that there are wise nations and leaders that are refusing to join the bandwagon of sodomites and gomorites that are bent on rebelling against GOD with their abominations and evil.

How is the decision of two adult individuals who have agreed to find love and comfort in a union with themselves of any concern to your God?

The main things he was employed and being paid every sunday to do viz, bless his worshippers, end suffering and pain, provide basic food and protection etc is not being done, yet he is extremely concerned with Juliet falling in love with Anne instead of John.

If your God was a staff, he would not only have been sacked, he would have been tried for fraud.

YoudeyVexme:
I have tried understanding that scripture since I was a kid, till now I still don't understand.
Does he mean the owo attack that people died in the church, living members shouldn't have buried them. But leave them there for the dead people to come bury them?

I am not religious but this is simple wisdom speaking.

He is simply saying , dont put your efforts into things that don’t make you better.

He is not telling you to literally leave corpses all around the city.

The problem with religion is that it takes away your ability to reason logically by giving you assumed spiritual perspectives that you must follow.

A lot of people were giving excuses as to why they couldn’t do certain things. Burials were an important tradition during the time of Jesus and many people were giving excuses as to their need to conduct elaborate burial rites.

Let the dead bury the dead is a perspective discussion. Why spend all your money and time in doing something so elaborate for another person that gives you almost zero benefits?

The issue is still up even today. Many people go into debt just to conduct elaborate burials. This is not limited to burials alone. Weddings, family, your job, that nagging girlfriend etc

Anything that you spend a great amount of time on that returns little value in your life should be reviewed.

If you lose that job today, another person would be employed. That girlfriend would date another person within weeks if you kill yourself. And family, they mostly only spend money at your burials (ironically) and not on your business growth .

Let the dead bury the dead.

I'm on cloud nine! We're in such a good place... It's like Christmas every day of the week...

So... He and I didn't breakup... We have never! But we stopped talking sometime in May... Some days we were too busy to even say 'hello'... It sucked... On his birthday I sent him a message which he didn't respond to... And I was mad... He was the first person to wish me a happy birthday... I did the same and no reply? He was asking for death... Lol...

Anyways a few days later I decided to send him a WhatsApp message... And he responded! And I was glad... Still upset... But I knew I deserved the silent treatment... Afterall I had ignored him first...

But we're good now... And he's working on travelling here to Nigeria this year! ✌

It's not like it was... But we're building the trust back again... Communicating better... The feelings are still there...

Why are you posting our chats on a public forum?

Why crave attention from strangers ?

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Sentence him to death by hanging tho..look what a so called man is busy doing..
I mean this thing here deserve to be in jail now..just like his counterparts here whose job is to hate women.. sometime you wonder if these things got mommas at home tho..

The Dumbos here are busy in the romance section attacking women and creating mindless threads just to bash and talk about women's body all day..they will never address the issue on ground which is "men's wild attitude towards women.." look how they might attack me for calling their nonsense out..
Just if the Nigeria government can deal with this monster thoroughly..

No wonder chidinma said she defended herself from that devourer...

Relax.

You started well until you added your personal experience into the judgement.

I agree that the guy should be punished to the maximum extent possible under the law after a proper court process and proper investigation.

Cheers

After knacking, it’s not advisable to pull out your John
Thomas immediately. Leave it in there for a while, unless
she’s a sex worker on short time agreement.
A lot of guys pulls out immediately after ejaculation and it
doesn’t make sense. Though your woman may not tell you,
but they love it when you leave your tool inside their
workshop for some seconds or minutes.
Personally, I leave mine for at least 1 minute, depending on
the girl. If I don’t like her vibes, I’ll pull up after 5 seconds.
But if I love her energy, I’ll leave it in there for 1 minute.
How about you?


After Knacking, How Many Minutes Should The

I am still inside her…

"The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit with a price tag of 3,985 dollars plus tax. He did the calculations and told me ‘Do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?’ I reminded him that he was the governor as well as the special guest, and for the caliber of guests expected at that evening’s occasion, including the mayor, senators and captains of conglomerates amongst others, he needed to be dressed in top form."


Obi is even Akagum to his very own self. A man of his caliber wearing $220 suit to where dignitaries are seated. Bianca should have told him to attend barefooted since he has legs and wont require a shoe. He could has well use that money to sponsor students to school.

Another name for stinginess should be Obi

Why is he driving a car and not trekking, since that money can sponsor so many student in Nigeria.

Akagum!

Bianca’s post requires the reader to have basic common sense to be able to comprehend.

Oh well we feel for u been a hiv positive patient bt the hopefully its nor the end of the world 4 u bt i can buy sniper for u so u die slowly nd painful death just as u always wanted ur biggest dream

You can use the sniper money to buy “Brighter Grammar” volume 1 and learn how to make simple sentences.

It is evident that incest is part of your family as your first sexual experience was with your mother. This is why you desire other people’s mothers. I wonder if your father has stopped having sex with your sisters.

Let me give you a shocker. Our families are not like yours.

Everyone is intelligent until they speak.

HIV is not the end of the world for anyone.

Just because i am standing up to your online bullying and you immediately claim i have HIV.

You are nothing. Apart from global warming which your farts contribute to, you have no other value here. If Dangote trailer hits you this afternoon and you die, you wont be missed.

Did some people really pay money to send you to school?

You cannot compose your thoughts in human readable language at your age.

Hit your head in the ground? Really?

The person I pitied most in your family is the person who had to pick you from primary school every afternoon. He or she spent all those times transporting this agolo bournvita instead of just dumping you at the nearest land dump.

No wonder you reason like a rat that drank expired sniper.
