Maybe (hopefully) things will collapse sooner than expected. May they all burn brightly as they turn to ashes while we lock arms and sing Hallelujah to celebrate their calamity. Huang, Nadella and Altman need to go to jail and lose everything. Crucify them.

With a proper BIOS this is a really nice motherboard. Svet has provided updates with every official MSI release and added feature modules that were not even present for unlocking in the stock BIOS. I had him add a custom boot logo I created to replace the ugly MSI dragon boot logo.

YouTube has lots of videos where the likeness and voice of real YouTube content creators are being hijacked, along with re-created content that those real people created and posted on YouTube. AI in general is an absolute mess, not to mention things such as infringements and copyright violations that are being trampled with no accountability or repercussions.

Cultivated (lab-grown) meat is a real thing, unfortunately. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVyrvZ-kq5f/?igsh=ZGUzMzM3NWJiOQ== FDA approves use of cloned animals for food | National Library of Medicine Too many unknowns and assumptions, and no regulation mandating disclosure is the biggest issue IMHO. People have right to know where their food is coming from and being OK to keep it a secret is not OK. ...and it's not only in the US...

A lot of them are now, to the point of becoming ridiculous, but that does not mean the information is not accurate. There have been other channels talking about garbage that is getting added to meat and artifical lab "grown" meat (and other foods). It is very annoying how much YouTube content is AI now. I have even seen videos produced by AI that use the voice and likeness of YouTube content creators that are real people, and quoting material from content they created, and I am fairly certain it is being done without their permission.

I haven't played in co-op with other people, only using bots as my team mates. But, it is a lot of fun.

I recently picked up the new version of Painkiller on a Steam sale. I have several of the original Painkiller titles and loved playing them. The new one is no exception. A bit flashier and better graphics, but just as fun. Your sole objective is to kill endless hordes of demons without getting killed in the process. Very similar to Doom but less keyboard effort needed than Doom.

The new ASUS BIOS is working well on the Apex. My system did not care for AGESA 1.3.0.0 or 1.3.0.0a but 1.3.0.1 seems good. They added that new "Crosshair Tweak" option in the memory settings. I am using mode 2 (Normal) because I don't give a flying hoot about mitigating the extremely remote possibility of being inconvenienced by a row hammer exploit. There is also a newer ZenTimings beta in the Discord available for download.

Windoze is a broken surveillance tool and a raging dumpster fire of an OS. Literally a digital dung heap. I do not have a problem with drivers. If functionality requires any Windoze Service(s) to be running that consumes memory and CPU cycles for the feature to work, then it is a software gimmick and not a hardware feature. Now, It may be a necessary evil and unavoidable fix for the raging Micro$lop dumpster fire, but it is still not a hardware feature if it depends on Windoze services to be running. If it is a hardware feature it will work in a UEFI shell or in a Linux environment because it is baked into the CPU or GPU and functions at the firmware level and there is no way for it "not to work" if it is in the wrong OS environment. If it is a hardware feature, there is either no way to turn it on or off, or you do it in the BIOS, not Windoze, and it will not care if you are running an old version of Windows 10 or 11 that doesn't have certain updates installed.

As far as I am concerned, any hardware "feature" that requires installing software to function is not actually a feature, but a stupid gimmick that should be regarded as worthless. If the feature only works in Windows it is even more worthless. Having to install software is an unacceptable joke, even if Linux support is provided for it. The PC tech industry is quickly becoming the domain of idiots and profusely littered with trash. Hardware should have full functionality that requires no software and is OS agnostic.

One of the best things about owning a 9070 XT is, unless you do something stupid in terms of choosing the wrong GPU, you do not have to give a second thought to the garbage 12VHPWR connector. Having the legacy 8-pin PCIe connector is, in my mind, the most compelling reason to own one. Thankfully, hardly any of them use 12VHPWR connectors. The few that do deserve to be ostracized for their exceptionally poor judgment and lack of regard for people that purchase their products.

My vote would be for the 9070 XT. So far it is AMD's best GPU in terms of performance.

This "new meat" garbage should be outlawed in every state and every nation the world over. The company(s) producing this dung need to be put out of business forever. What in the hell are these idiots thinking? Oh wait, they're not, and neither are the morons that eat this filth.
