Access Denied on several websites

ruffstuff — Sat, 09 Feb 2019 13:48:35 +0800

I've come across this annoyances. Googling does not help. There are people experience similar problem and there is a 'solution' of it. Which is restarting your router.

One thing, i could not replicate the problem to find the root cause on what triggering this problem. But this problem will happened twice or more within a week. My solution is restarting PPPOE connection and this will resolve. Not all sites is returning the access denied. Most sites working fine. These are the sites that give the access denied error

https://www.cimbclicks.com.my/
https://store.steampowered.com/
https://www.playstation.com/
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/

Things that i tried which is NOT working to resolve the issue.

1. Flushing DNS at client level
2. Flushing DNS at router level
3. Change DNS server at client level
4. Change DNS server at router level

5. Tried different browser (pc/laptop/smartphone) all same problem
6. Change router.

Thing i haven't tried is to force traffic on vpn tunnel when the problem happen. I would assume this could resolve the site. I'm expecting there some issue with https traffic that might cause the issue. I do some port forward on port 443 for my ssh connection. That might be the problem, but i have doubts because only these 3 sites that give me problem.

Some DNS test using several DNS resolver. All access denied.

Google DNS:

Cloud Flare:

TM DNS:

I did fiddler capturing the https traffic. There is some problem with the https caching where it is expired. Not an expert about https caching, if anyone can explain why it is expired?

Anyone on unfii can access portal.office.com now?

AMD Radeon Vega FE

ruffstuff — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 22:50:37 +0800

If you look closely the chip, there are 3 dies connected on the main interposer via infinity fabric. Apprently, AMD only enabled one small GPU on bottom left. When the actual gaming card version release, the second small one on the right will be enabled.

The huge one on top will be enabled to fight Nvidia Volta.

I just boughted Ryzen 7 and AMD cutted price

ruffstuff — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 07:09:10 +0800

The new lineup can now readily be found on amazon and newegg for as low as $455, $349 and $299 Respectively. Brand new 1800X can be found for as low as $429 on eBay and brand new 1700X boxes can be found for as low as $309. That’s a 14% price cut to the 1800X compared to its $499 launch MSRP and a whopping 23% price cut to the 1700X compared to its $399 launch MSRP

"GTX 1080 is a mid-range graphics card with high end price. High end price because there is no competition."

Nvidia just holding everything back. Vega performance reveal is not that impressive. It's Fury X all over again. They will dropped 1080 price to match Vega price, and release 1080Ti to regain the performance crown back.

Even there is BIG vega coming, they will crush it with full pascal HBM2. So sad AMD.

EU change regulation in favor of bigger engines

ruffstuff — Sat, 15 Oct 2016 15:22:55 +0800

Tougher European car emissions tests being introduced in the wake of the Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) scandal are about to bring surprising consequences: bigger engines.

Carmakers that have spent a decade shrinking engine capacities to meet emissions goals are now being forced into a costly U-turn, industry sources said, as more realistic on-the-road testing exposes deep flaws in their smallest motors.

Renault, General Motors and VW are preparing to enlarge or scrap some of their best-selling small car engines over the next three years, the people said. Other manufacturers are expected to follow, with both diesels and gasolines affected.

The reversal makes it even harder to meet carbon dioxide (CO2) targets and will challenge development budgets already stretched by a rush into electric cars and hybrids.

"The techniques we've used to reduce engine capacities will no longer allow us to meet emissions standards," said Alain Raposo, head of powertrain at the Renault-Nissan alliance.

"We're reaching the limits of downsizing," he said at the Paris auto show, which ends on Saturday. Renault, VW and GM's Opel all declined to comment on specific engine plans.

For years, carmakers kept pace with European Union CO2 goals by shrinking engine capacities, while adding turbo chargers to make up lost power. Three-cylinder motors below one liter have become common in cars up to VW Golf-sized compacts; some Fiat models run on twin-cylinders.

These mini-motors sailed through official lab tests conducted - until now - on rollers at unrealistically moderate temperatures and speeds. Carmakers, regulators and green groups knew that real-world CO2 and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions were much higher, but the discrepancy remained unresolved.

All that is about to change. Starting next year, new models will be subjected to realistic on-the-road testing for NOx, with all cars required to comply by 2019. Fuel consumption and CO2 will follow two years later under a new global test standard.

Independent testing in the wake of VW's exposure last year as a U.S. diesel emissions cheat has shed more light on the scale of the problem facing automakers.

Carmakers' smallest European engines, when driven at higher loads than current tests allow, far exceed legal emissions levels. Heat from the souped-up turbos generates diesel NOx up to 15 times over the limit; gasoline equivalents lose fuel-efficiency and spew fine particles and carbon monoxide.

"They might be doing OK in the current European test cycle, but in the real world they are not performing," said Pavan Potluri, an analyst with influential forecaster IHS Automotive.

"So there's actually a bit of 'upsizing' going on, particularly in diesel."

IN RETREAT

Carmakers have kept understandably quiet about the scale of the problem or how they plan to address it. But industry sources shared details of a retreat already underway.

GM will not replace its current 1.2-litre diesel when the engines are updated on a new architecture arriving in 2019, people with knowledge of the matter said. The smallest engine in the range will be 25-30 percent bigger.

VW is replacing its 1.4 liter three-cylinder diesel with a four-cylinder 1.6 for cars like the Polo, they said, while Renault is planning a near-10 percent enlargement to its 1.6 liter R9M diesel, which had replaced a 1.9-litre model in 2011.

In real-driving conditions, the French carmaker's 0.9-litre gasoline H4Bt injects excess fuel to prevent overheating, resulting in high emissions of unburned hydrocarbons, fine particles and carbon monoxide.

Cleaning that up with exhaust technology would be too expensive, sources say, so the three-cylinder will be dropped for a larger successor developing more torque at lower regimes to stay cool.

The turnaround on size is a European phenomenon, coinciding with diesel's sharp decline in smaller cars. Larger engines prevalent in North America, China and emerging markets still have room to improve real emissions by shrinking.
