[chbot] How to disable hyperthreading

[Bevin Brett]

You have to do it before the operating system is running,
so you turn the machine off, and during the startup hold down a manufacturer-specific key
to get into the bios menus

Here is an old but good article..

https://www.pcmag.com/article/314585/how-to-disable-hyperthreading

Don't forget to do the os and bios upgrades as well - just disabling hyperthreading is only part of the fix - and not one that is needed on AMD chips, I believe.

Hello everyone,

Quite a few new faces this evening; welcome.

Enthusiastic turnout with 23 attendees, and lots of huddles-of
tech-talk. $43 + change (in gold, and flat-money) collected and
transferred into the robotics loose-change jar (for later banking).

Quick reminder: equipment donations are welcome for the trading table,
but no CRT based product, printers, toner or items that are likely to be
a disposal burden. All sales from the trading table should go into the
brown box on the wall, and are directly for the benefit of our host
club, NZART Branch 05.

With thanks on behalf of the group,

Mark Atherton

PS thank you Trevor for locking up.

============

William brought in a 3D optical waveguide seven-segment display, based
entirely on cardboard, LED strips, and hot glue. Quite a clever piece of
lateral thinking, and fabrication.

Peter brought in his 300V, 3kW modular power supply system (following on
from the email reflector discussion).

Kerry brought in some ancient-semiconductors, including a 1954 germanium
device, and one of the first samples of a silicon RF power device.

Bevin started off with quite a stunning description of the latest Intel
cache-bug. He also brought along some more items from his mechanical
calculator collection. This month, we were treated to some insight about
the workings of a 1928 vintage Monroe calculator, as well as a tiny
Curta hand-held 1957 rotary calculator.

David B talked about his latest purchase – a low cost laser cutter. He
discussed some of the pitfalls, fixes and upgrades to make the machine a
little more respectable.

Robin G talked about the latest generation, V low cost component tester
product.

Volker talked about his latest investigation into Very Low Cost
Chinese-sourced LED lighting, and associated power supplies. He also
gave us an update on his coffee-maker project.
