That's my development, and there's more! 🙂 Maro gave you tips... Greetz..

What is the cpu frequency ?

Good on you brother! Nothing is as frustrating as "comfortably getting by." Just enough where life is comfortable, but not enough if something were to go sideways or you suddenly wanted to take a break or do something else but can't really afford to do that....cruise control has its pros and cons. Almost 2 out of every 3 people live paycheck to paycheck in America now. It's a somber reality. Here's wishing you all the luck and success in the world man....now go get it. 🙂 My dad used to tell us all the time, "You know the people who both lose and win the most at life still equally die right? Immortality is not in the prize pool."

Hey fellas. Yeah I’m just burned out on just barely gett’n by is all. I’m 35 years old now been contemplating life a lot lately, me and my wife both work full time from home, life is good in the new house. Bills are paid, but that’s it lol. Things are getting really expensive lately like (Daughters new braces 😬) kids will need cars in a 2-3 years (I’m broke). I need to do something on the side and make some major moves. About ten years ago I use to buy and sale junk cars, this was extremely lucrative. There were times when making $2,500 on a good day wasn’t impossible. I have been complacent and living on auto pilot for several years now doing the minimum.. The 5090 had to go though, I needed the funds to help fund a truck+car trailer+winch. In this case, not a truck but close, I bought a clean and well kept used Tahoe Z71 4x4. Lately I learned that we got to step outside of that comfort zone and take some risks in order to gain something or see change. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Life is hard, none of us make it out alive. 😂

a good reason why you should clean that fan & HS once a year

my brother's HP Spectre x360 - 15-df1033dx laptop got automatically upgraded from Win10 22H2 to Win11 24H2 (home edition) several months ago (likely thru windows update). so far, no serious problems running Win11

BIOS & driver downloads are available for most Framework laptops from this page

nice. why not update the Nahimic APO4 driver to either 4.15.3.0 or 4.15.4.0, FrancoTecno? or at least the 4.11.6.2 version of the APO4 driver {this one is specifically available from the MSI web site, which seems to be a "hotfix" version of 4.11.6.0} the 4.15.3.0 & higher versions of the APO4 driver no longer include the somewhat annoying "Nahimic companion" app, which was dropped starting from the 4.15.3.0 release.

You also asked on Reddit. Answer is the same: I can't tell anything about the battery. I always use it with the AC power supply and only use the battery in case of power emergencies.

Murphy's Law. More dead RAM kits when RAM prices are at their worst. This seems to be happening freakishly often.

Thank you

'AI should be a choice. Here's where you stand': 90% of DuckDuckGo users vote no to AI in poll DuckDuckGo has two different versions of its search engine: one with AI, and one without - and the latter is overwhelmingly the most popular flavor. Nine out of ten DuckDuckGo users don't want AI anywhere near their search OpenAI admits that the AI bubble will burst in the coming years and only the best companies in the sector will survive. Artificial intelligence has been around for decades, but the current concept differs from previous ones. AI has always required significant computing power, and since hardware was much less powerful back then, it was severely limited.

Having rich people pay the way of the poor is always a stupid idea and a plan destined for failure. AI is a stupid "investment" because consumers do not need it or want it bad enough to pay for it. The crazy people sinking billions into it are going to lose their butts and it will bring a smile to my face when they begin to collapse like the Hindenburg and fall from the sky in flames. I use AI, but I won't pay for it. If it is not free then I will not use it. That is the majority sentiment and there is not enough need for it in business for them to be able to charge enough to make a profit. It is causing first-world problems for consumers, system builders and consumer-focused hardware manufacturers with limited supply and stupid GPU, RAM and NVMe prices, but this will pass and all of the money spent to ramp up production to feed the AI pig that collapses will leave those companies in the same dire straits. We will just have to wait for stupidity to runs its course. How long it will take remains to be seen. It will happen when they run out of other people's money.

With water cooling on the Clevo P775. Performance test results: 100% CPU usage on the 9900K with a maximum temperature of 70°C. Very impressive.

i wonder if this explains why I couldn't upgrade from 591.59 to .74 or .86 without my 5090 thinking it was in a thin and light laptop. Turning off Hardware acceleration which I didn't even know was on or an item since it was buried in settings fixed the problem, at least for now.

i believe these are sales executives directly tied to profit cuts from ASML very lucrative sales cake, they don't need ambassadors or high end specialty sales connections anymore, all and any possible market players simply come directly to them now. cutting these high paid executives with direct huge cuts off the ongoing sales parade is cruel but its just a textbook play for greedy corrupt corporations. (seen it first hand too many times)

Employers that do not value their employees often view them as a liability or overhead expense rather than an asset. Companies like that do not deserve to be profitable or successful. They deserve the same treatment as the employees they abuse.

He mentioned it in the post linked by Brother @electrosoft

The first sign of the coming crash. In the old days they used canaries to warn in the mines. ASML is the first in line to sniff the bubble. Can you smell it bro @Mr. Fox🙂 Despite AI chip boom and record high stock price, ASML to lay off employees

dayum! whats he got planned? edit: funny to see hes basically sitting on top of GN Steve in NC 😄

@tps3443 up and sold off his 5090 for some real life adventures.... 😁 https://www.overclock.net/posts/29553159/ Fantastic price at that too!
