It’s too dark. I can’t watch it on my crappy TV

I would not disagree.

Every person I know with a PhD now in their 40s and 50s (7 people) doesn’t have a family and wished they did and didn’t have a PhD. I’d love to see a study on that.

I’m never bothered because it looked like too much effort for little money.

I'm not sure why because Ryanair looks really good on the scrapers. I bet it drives a lot of business their way.

That is of course until you add all the additional charges.

YT influencers can publish their sources and data.

Corporates have learned not to say anything about stuff because it turns into YT influencer fuel rather than rational analysis.

Yeah this. Make sure you provision lots of memcache chunk caches as well because S3 is slow as shit.

The chipset doesn't deliver power. So this is wrong. It has less PCI lanes and that's about it. I don't need them so I didn't buy them :)

I don't think there's a lot in it to be honest between vendors. They are all cheap garbage with lurid ass chunks of metal and artwork designed by a 5 year old stuck all over them.

And there's one thing you can NEVER trust and that is objectivity from gamers when looking at failure and reliability statistics. It's one huge cargo cult.

Notably my kids both have Ryzen 5600G + MSI B550 boards with no problems.

Yes unfortunately. When you buy "enthusiast boards" which is everything that Dell and HP etc don't ship these days then you have literally no idea what crappy BIOS and software configuration you are inheriting.

The warning in this case is hire security people who actually have a clue and include vendor software in their risk assessment.

Literally every time I see stuff like this go down, the security software had exactly zero engineering research put into it whereas everything else did.

If people did this, CrowdStrike would either not exist or look completely different.

Tried an MSI B550 initially. Think the second one was an Asus B550. The CPU swap did work ok the original board!

But at that point I was using the Lenovo box. So I just sold all the crap on eBay for the next victim.

Yeah this is still second hand information though and there isn’t any data still. There may be confounding factors.

Lots of speculation that is all.

Someone (at intel) needs to get an incident management process around this and start doing some proper comms.
