an ElonPhone, i love it 😂 should be a satellite phone that can receive signals directly from Mars lulz

can highly recommend recent vids by youtube creator "ColdFusion" on this topic. aside from FTX, hes covered various other topics in history, tech, business and science / R&D. if ure into documentary style vids, this might be smth for ya 🙂 i for one enjoy his channel a lot. in any case, very detailed deep dives into what actually happened in the FTX fiasco.

ha ikr. good thing is, now i know that there actually IS something to that. especially with Zen4 having a pad instead of paste would make life way easier with those IHS ridges in terms of clean up. im now considering getting a sample and trying it out. best places to get it though? aliexpress?

ah aight then, wasnt aware of that info @11th gen support being problematic 🙂

ive followed this trend of Nvidia investing and profiting more and more from non-gaming related business sectors. naturally, for them as a company this is good since it diversifies their product stack and thus their risk. however, im a bit worried about what that might mean for us gamers / tech nerds in the long run if the gaming sector becomes too "small" to care about for them... yeah such polls are always a bit tricky. the data represents the "comfort zone" of the respondents, but not their limits. Nvidia's pricing politics follows the latter, they try to squeeze out as much as humanly possible, offering prices the majority is just barely accepting to pay with grinding teeth before getting out the pitch forks. comfort zone vs. limit, now thats a pretty big Delta, for sure... lol u might wanna switch careers and do a small-scale silicon lottery kinda thingy hahaha

Liam Hemsworth! well of course, u gotta switch out one mountain of muscle with another lol. plus lucky they got another big name to sign on such a short notice i guess. oh really? nice, im glad hes continuing with Superman, hes actually a reaaaaally good placement for Supes imho. any new superman movies planned? or another team up i.e. justice league? ikr @writing team. although i must say the Snyder cut was a revelation, was super skeptical at first whether it would make such a difference. geez, night and day, completely different movie! and that in a good way.

yep, agreed on that. always good to take a little time out every once in a while, look at your life and decide, if the internal hesitation is based on being overwhelmed or if its a sign that ure taking a direction u dont actually want to take. oh no worries on that front, i actually pushed back the job start for two weeks so i could take care of the worst part of the move. the rest will just take a while to figure out, i.e. getting the furniture in place (delivery times being quite long that they are atm) and unpacking everything. yeah! thats what i was referring to above in reply to @Reciever, once u feel that internal hesitation and realize youre "stuck", thats the absolute worst. its often times not straight forward though, i.e. "be careful what you wish for". a life of total individual freedom might sound awesome right now, but picture yourself on your death bed: wouldnt you miss having a family of your own? maybe regret having lived a life that was a bit too "selfish"? as with all things in life actually worth having, it needs work, time, nerves, dedication, compromises and sacrifice. thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated 🙂

dont forget, theyvre alread done exactly that, going from 10 core 10900K to an 8C 11900K... lulz, AMD supporters, cmon man 😄 im not a fanboy for any company, i just go with the products that make the most sense to me 😛

less of a bother, more of a worry. but that worry bothers me. tons going on currently, just finished moving into a new appartment, had to handle all of our stuff single-handedly, since my pregnant wife obviously is not allowed to handle any heavy things anymore. luckily im pretty much in peak physical condition atm, been working out hard the past few months but still, was SO much and so stressful, i ended up getting sick. now in the new appartment, but basically living out of suitcases n boxes, still tons of furniture missing we need to purchase and build. gonna start my new job in 4 days time. interviews were a blast, seems like they REALLY want me and expect great things. recently married in August, got our first kid on the way, just found out its gonna be a girl! soooo....long story short: am i cut out for all this? be a good husband, good father, good employee? i feel so inadequate and stuff currently just feels overwhelming. a bit more personal than i usually like it to be, but felt like i needed to vent this.

ouch, not a good trend my man! as @Etern4lmentioned above, out of sight is out of mind. best to get rid of all excessive sugar storages in your home. just leave enough for a snack or two ahead. add in roadblocks for urself to get to sugar, i.e. having to do another supermarket or shop run to get sweets. also, if it HAS to be smth sweet, try and go with smth more healthy, i.e. fruits or heavy grain bars with a touch of dark chocolate on top of heavy grain cornflakes. or with drinks, instead of straight up just dilute everything with water, fills up the belly faster and quenches the sugar thirst but limits the total sugar intake. source: myself 😄 always trying to find new tricks to fool my body into burning more and consuming less.

dangerous game ure playing there with that argument. its the classic "i and others i know dont need this, so might as well just get rid of it!". same can be said for: - socketable cpus. most people never upgrade their cpu, even on desktop. - socketable wifi. most people never upgrade that either. - hows about dat RAM? do most people upgrade that in their machines? doubtful. and so on, and so forth. what AMD provides with their platform longevity is CHOICE. u dont want to upgrade to the latest compatible cpu on that socket after 6-7 years? fine, get a completely new system. but u still have the CHOICE to do so, i.e. ure tight on budget and cant bother to build a completely new machine, bam new cpu swap with bios update and bob's your uncle. would u prefer a complete platform change for every single cpu gen? including soldered down components for everything? welcome to laptop land! this is where PC enthusiasts come to die 💀 respectfully disagree on that point, its not a gimmick but rather a tool for AMD to win market share from Intel. AM4 CPUs and especially the 5800X3D outselling all other cpus combined is a pretty strong indicator for that. of course there are MORE than enough peeps that just prefer Intel tuning, just way easier to overclock, bigger numbers in terms of clocks, stable boosting without fluctuations, more direct control, etc. but point being that both strategies seem to attract a looot of users, so something must be done right on both sides. and I KNOW! most of us dont look for "value" of this kind with our hardware choices and we sneer at "good enough" hardware, since we usually want only the best of the best. but catering towards us is not how AMD and Intel make money, were just there for the Halo effect. it is what it is! dude, this whole post is a friggin piledriver (pun also intended) driving your points home, great work as usual on the analysis and summary! sadly, thats exactly what ive been hearing so far, as well. 14th gen is going 6P + 16E, its not gonna be pretty vs. the expected 24C / 48T Zen 5 flagship from AMD 😅

oooh i forgot about the books, ure totally right! they lost Cavill? oh snap, smth mustve gone terribly wrong then. have they found a replacement yet? big shoes to fill, to say the least...

try and stick to Andor, its a slow burning fire but its slowly picking up and gets more interesting as u go along 🙂

ha, nevermind, i mixed it up with the Honeywell paste / pad 😄

aw man, still waiting for a new season of Sherlock! "unfortunately" the main actors have become waaaaay too famous and expensive I fear hahaha

looks quite impressive! ashamed to say ive never played that game, but heard tons of good stuff 🙂 funny to see that theyre implementing stuff inspired by the tv show, which in turn was inspired by the game series 😄 coming full circle haha

dude ure quite unlucky with faulty CPUs!

will let my best bud know, hes also an old die hard X vs T fan 😄

ha! cheap marketing pics if ever i saw any 😄 if my paste looked like that after unmounting id gett worried that i didnt have any contact whatsoever 😅

yah dude, same for the 7950x, craaazy pricing around currently!

had a good long run though! and came to a good conclusion in the end 🙂 loved that show

dude! main thing is ure in good health though!

additional point being this is still a pretty small community. plus most of them likely notebook owners 🙂 nevertheless, ill also be posting my stuff here first!

damn, stark contrast to all the super positive reviews in the thermal paste thread. crazy stuff, thanks for the input!

u kidding?! how am i gonna survive on this low-end hardware im currently sporting? 😂 dude, seriously....who TF is buying those 4080s?!?!?! WHO? someone who can spend 1200+ on a GPU but aint willing to spend a bit more for a 4090? WHO DOES THAT?!?!?! please, anyone, enlighten me... or, alternatively, wait a bit and go for a 7900XTX....seriously! would be such a sick joke if all Ngreedia did was rebadge the fake 4080 and keep their crazy pricing. i see what u did there Mr. Musk 😄 yeah the thing with those Atom cores... looking at silicon area, one cluster of four takes up as much space as a single P core. with E cores at roughly 65%+ performance of P cores, each P core u substitue for one E core cluster would result in 4*65% = 260% vs. 100% multi core performance, so basically ure losing almost two thirds! with the 13900K at 8P and 16E this would result in a CPU with 12P Cores at roughly 65% of total multi core performance. that would only be on par with a 12900K or less, meaning they would lose baaaaad against AMD. best thing for us to happen would be Nvidia and AMD being on par and going at each other's throats just like Intel and AMD are currently doing in CPU space! get the 7950X and listen to a totally unbiased 7950X owner 😉 platform longevity. also, value proposition depends on how high the stack ure looking. at the very top, barely any difference. if u go midtier i.e. 13600K or 7600X/7700X then RPL does have a better value. but all that has changed now with the adjusted holiday pricing. lets see if AMD keeps those prices around, id wager they wouldnt pull back anytime soon 🙂 funny to see ready-made options for such displays! and for so cheap! i wonder what the quality will be like...im still planning to do a custom one with a 10 inch display, should be fun!
