Hmmm. QC cost money. But what with RMA? Updating the BIOS on some MSI motherboards can leave the screen blank, and to fix this you'll have to buy a new graphics card. In recent days, we've seen a problem that has unsettled more than one MSI motherboard user: But the warning hints at something deeper. Current BIOS versions are changing at a very rapid pace because new generations of CPUs require constant adjustments . This means that a simple update can affect internal components we never thought could fail, such as how the UEFI itself generates video output. And when access to the BIOS depends on your GPU "understanding" what the BIOS is trying to display, the risk becomes real—so real, in fact, that ASK has had to issue a general warning. Worse still, the uncertainty is growing. ASK hasn't revealed which models are affected, whether motherboards or graphics cards; the warning is general. There's no further information, which suggests the problem is escalating rapidly and affecting more users than we realize. We're awaiting a statement from MSI regarding this, as we've already seen issues with AGESA 1.2.8.0 , and we don't know if this is related again after removing the BIOS from their download. It could be an AMD issue with the Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series and their firmware for older graphics cards, but if so, which platforms, sockets, and chipsets are affected? Too many questions, no answers , but we'll be keeping an eye out for any statements or open investigations into this matter.

This PowerShell script promises to remove every AI feature from Windows RemoveWindowsAI goes deeper than ever to scrub Microsoft's "agentic AI"

LOL. "The Land of the Free". The nickname for the U.S need to be changed. See... Many Americans assume that if they wipe a phone or lock it with strong encryption, they're simply exercising their privacy rights. But the moment an electronic device becomes the target of a lawful federal search or seizure, erasing it can itself constitute a crime – even if agents haven't yet obtained physical possession of it. Man arrested for allegedly wiping his Google Pixel before a CBP search And all tourists entering the U.S borders will be considered as criminals now. They probably need an Social meddia account, LOL US to require five years of social media history from foreign travelers under new proposal People are already canceling their travel plans for the US. The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has filed a proposal that would see travelers from 42 countries, including the UK, France, Germany, and South Korea, have five years of their social media history reviewed as part of the visa waiver programme. The US will investigate Norwegian tourists' social media Not even America's allies will escape sweeping new regulations, if they are introduced. Criminals know their way into the country. Making it much more difficult for honest tourists will only destroy the tourism industry. Some will suffer and need to find something different to work with. Maybe be one more of the homeless? That won't generate money back to the country.

How about.... Maybe we really need age verification for Microsoft's latest and greatest nowadays as for some P-sites and social media? Hence they force you to use M$ account for their flawed OS. Soon you can't use Windows 11 before you reach the age of 18-21, LOL Windows as OS will be banned all over the world for the younger. And Linux is needed for all schools for children up to at least 18 years. AI chatbots are causing suicides, psychosis, and grooming children, AGs warn Microsoft

Some improvement.

This is just sad seeing before the coming Christmas holidays. But I expect it is millions having the same life in the U:S now. I should wish the greedy and corrupt stupid politicians and the rich would suffer the same tragedy. What a shame!!!

How much did Jensen pay for the ballroom? I expect US adm also will withdraw the 5090/5090D ban for China. This is just a question of time. Because 5090's is a lot weaker than H200. And if china don't want the H200 I'm sure nvidia would love ship more 5090's over to the "Middle Kingdom". Gamers and creators would love that so they don't need to smuggle in more of the heavily overpriced cards from the grey market, delivered by Nvidia's partners. And for China in general... They will once again gain access to Western technology to build up their defense capability and "will give rocket speed to the Chinese AI industry". Nice. Nvidia reportedly wins H200 exports to China LOL Read... U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei for the Southern District of Texas, added: "Operation Gatekeeper has exposed a sophisticated smuggling network that threatens our Nation's security by funneling cutting-edge AI technology to those who would use it against American interests. And now the US Gov Adm will help Nvidia freely to funneling all the cutting-edge AI technology they can make directly into China. How time have changed. Corruption, lobbying and bribery clearly help. US authorities catch 'trafficking network' smuggling $160M of NVIDIA AI chips to China Yup,the 5090's is all too cheap. But increased sales of already mentioned Nvidia graphics cards in China will help Nvidia to change on that. High-capacity DDR5 memory kits now cost more than GeForce RTX 5090

Palmer Luckey says AI should be allowed to decide who lives and dies in war "There's no moral high ground in using inferior technology"

Microsoft continue improve their latest and greatest OS. Too the worse. There is no bottom on how bad it can be. Windows 11's newly revamped Start menu design is annoyingly large The new Start menu is being rolled out to all users on Windows 11 25H2 with no option to keep using the old design. And Microsoft want to take care of all your apps/software/drivers and firmware. What can go wrong bro @Mr. Fox?🤔 How will this go when you know they introduce new bugs after every damn monthly patch update. Windows 11 now wants to have the ability to update all the applications you have installed on your PC Microsoft wants to give Windows 11 more power, granting it the ability to manage updates for all applications installed on the system directly from within the operating system

Be sure you use microscope on your Asus GPU if you send it in for an RMA. Very important if you opened up the card and slapped on a WB. If you are lucky you may get an replacement card from Asus for 50% discount. Damn, good deal. Isn't it? ASUS quoted $4,661 CAD to replace RTX 5090 ASTRAL over tiny PCB crack, customer calls it design flaw

I usually prefer offset and full vcore. But for daily use you'll need to use the curve and reduce the power limits with the XOC vbios. I would prefer a fully working voltage slider. It's what it is,,,, Asus screwed own customer base. They put in all the works into firmware tuning to try stop the Matrix from working with all their other 5090 SKUs, hence they also failed lock out all the other cards from other brands as they hoped for. What we just have seen is only the beginning of what Asus is capable to do for their next gen cards. Full locked down firmware for each SKU to differentiate the cards from each other. Just make minor changes on the PCB and there you go. Or Nvidia find new ways to let their partners lock you out from cross-flashing and shunt mods.

If you use an connector upside down you see the same if you route the cable over the backplate. Damn fragile... CM quality. Hence they later had to go outside the connector/cable specs and create the stealth feature for their 12+4 pin custom cables. Fasgear..... QC and quality matters if you go with 3rd party cables. I expect many have a ticking bomb...

Done🙂 Ths is propaganda. The big fat lie. Intel admits it needs more Core Ultra 200-series wafers — 'If we had more Lunar Lake wafers, we would be selling more Lunar Lake' Intel this week reiterated that it cannot meet demand for all of its client and data center processors due to insufficient supply, and specifically mentioned that it could use more Core Ultra 200-series Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake wafers to increase shipments of appropriate processors. Not much better than... Consumers Should take a break spending their har d earned money on Mem/prebuilt computers. Buy only buy what you really need. And if you can.... Spend less money. That will help on the greed. Edit. Yup, you see me and GN see it the same way. Only differet wordings. Corruption ain't enough. The U.S citizens/tax payers money are in stake (from 17:00). On top the citizens/consumers have to pay more than ever for modern tech. This is Disgusting. Pure evil! And the worst part is... The citizens won't get any help from their own government adm to stop this. Because they are deaply involved into this corruption and messed up situation.

More E-cores, much better iGPU and much better NPU. Intel will deliver in loads of what you want/hope for. But probably no HT for now. Happy ?😀 But, for a quick summary, you are looking at new P/E-core architectures, along with the advanced 'Celestial' Xe3 iGPU architecture, and a 5th-generation NPU onboard, which will take edge AI to a new level. However, Intel has been decent on the mobile front; however, its market share has declined on the desktop. Intel's Next-Gen CPU Roadmap Will Be a Lot More "Competitive", Driven By Generational Upgrades

And still very smart. Linux creator Torvalds thinks Elon Musk is 'too stupid' to be working at a tech company
