    Yeah it's fine it's just a basic board, just don't expect overclocking on it or anything.

    NTDaws reacted to leadeater in President Biden to order the FTC to make rules regarding Right to Repair   
    The decision has been made to lock this topic as the subject matter is simultaneously too close to politics and is inevitable that discussion will end up more about that than a technology discussion. However I encourage all to read this and the article and be informed about it as much as possible.

    NTDaws reacted to NotTheFirstDaniel in President Biden to order the FTC to make rules regarding Right to Repair   
    Summary
    President Biden will, in the coming days, order the FTC to create new rules that focus on Right to Repair. This comes after large amounts of complaints from farmers about how John Deere is anti-repair.
     
    While this order will most likely be directed towards farmers, it could have a ripple effect in other industries, such as the smartphone industry, where companies like Samsung, and especially Apple, use their power to stop 3rd party repair, in some cases leading to degraded software experiences as punishment for daring to not repair your device through a 1st party service.
     
    The White House believes that this will create more economic competition and drive wages up for the average American Worker.

    My thoughts
    Honestly, I think it's great that more and more people are pushing the idea of Right to Repair to the mainstream. I mean, how much more mainstream do you get than the POTUS? Someone who, granted, lacks a lot in power, but makes up in influence. I mean, an order to the FTC isn't the same as getting it passed through both houses of Congress and signed (at least I think so I may be wrong about this), but it's a step in the right direction.
     
    I just hope that the fact that a high-ranking politician mentioned Right to Repair doesn't turn the Right to Repair issue into an "Us vs. Them" issue, as happens time and time again in American Politics. Hopefully this issue can stay neutral, with all parties in favor of it, not to get too political.

    Yes, sometimes you will get an error with most games at first launch. But after that it works fine.

    In the Insider Build of Windows 11, you are now able to create a offline account on the OOBE, doesn't matter if it's home, pro, enterprise, etc. 
     
    The Pro is you get to try a lot of new features out before anyone else. The cons, you will run into many bugs, especially this early into the OS. But I have been using it since Monday and most of the bugs are pretty minimal as it stands.

    EPS has another 12V line that maps to ground for PCIe. So if you try to plug in a EPS line into a PCIe plug, you'll kill the card.

    I am trying to imagine the circumstance where it would make any sense to use this thing and failing.
     
    I have a "spare" 8pin EPS in my system but I can't get a PSU with PCIe power for my GPU???

    NTDaws reacted to Skiiwee29 in Is 8 pin cpu eps to dual 8 pin pcie adapter safe to use?   
    You should never adapt power. If your current PSU does not have the required connectors, the proper and best thing to do is buy a proper PSU to suit your needs.

    Ignore that, just read signature and you have a CXF650.

    The CXF is a pretty decent budget unit. I would think that it would be ok as long as you leave everything at stock.

    They stuck with macOS X until 10.14 then as soon as MS made it to Windows 10 (and said it would be the last release) suddenly Apple move to 11.

    I agree that it's weird, but I don't think it's a bug (ie I think it was a deliberate decision by IPS) and I don't think it's worth doing anything about.
