  1. Nobody seems to know if it does or not lol... Did you risk it, and if you did, did it work or not?
  2. Weird little update. I've gotten the HomePod mini to play music when powered by my PC although it is blinking orange (indicating it isn't receiving enough power) and it is unresponsive to commands and the touch screen isn't working... The HomePod mini drivers on Windows 10 seems fairly scuffed. It might work if I add a Thunderbolt card to my PC although that is not worth it. I guess I will just have to power it with the included power brick, I just don't have any outlets free...
  3. Okay. Yeah, I mean, HomePod's and PC's are definitely not made to work with each other so I should have expected some problems. I will see if I can find some way to change the device ''type'' tho. Thanks for the help!
  4. Okay. Yeah, that would make sense. Do you know of any way to change the device to be recognized to get power? I will search online if not tho. (I forgot to post the picture of the ''other devices'' so I have updated the post with it)
  5. Hello! So, I just got a HomePod mini and were planning to power it through the ''USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C'' port on my motherboard but it is unfortunately not working... I had originally thought the port would be able to provide up to 100W but when searching more for it on the internet, I seem to get some conflicting results about how much power it can provide. Does anyone know how much power a ''USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C'' port can provide? The HomePod Mini is working with the included 20W power brick and my 18W power bank so there is nothing wrong with it. It could also be something with Windows potentially? Because, when I plug it in, the HomePod Mini shows up in device manager as two ''other devices'' so maybe there is something you need to do with those to get power delivered properly? Any help or feedback is appreciated! Thanks for taking your time reading this.
  6. Apple usually is the risk production partner so they will likely use 4nm chips this year. But, yes, Q3 is probably too tight for the iPhones, it's usually Q2 for A-series risk production so I'm guessing the A15 and Apple Watch S7-chip are on N5P to launch in September and N4 is for the M2-chip* in the new MacBooks, likely launching later in October.
  7. Oh god, finally! I had to switch to Apple Music nearly two years ago tho so I'm not sure if I will go back to Spotify since it would be a lot of work organising all my playlists...
  8. To listen to music when out running. I'm pretty sure you can't download 500 songs on that manual watch
  9. This is very disappointing... Hopefully, with Apple starting to move more and more of their supply chain out of China, they will soon be harder on Chinese demands, ideally just like in the rest of the world!
  10. Sorry. Yeah, that was too much text. Okay. So, I have never really monitored Task Manager that closely but I sometimes look at it a few times a day to see if there is any weird program sucking up performance but I have never really found anything. The only program I've seen sucking a considerable amount of RAM when not gaming is Chrome tho, up in the 3-5GB range sometimes but I still have like an extra 18GB available so it should not be a problem then. But, when the system starts slowing down, Task Manager stops monitoring so then I cannot see if any particular program is eating RAM... Since it is not a huge problem right now, only happening once every two weeks or so, I will wait and try figuring it out. But if I cannot fix it, I will try reinstalling Windows. I will update my BIOS when ASUS releases the new version since another problem I have experienced is USB glitching. This will supposedly be fixed in the next BIOS so maybe this slowdown of the system will be fixed as well.
  11. iCue, Razer Synapse, Afterburner, Steam, Discord and Samsung Magician is always running. I have reinstalled both iCUE and Synapse several times when figuring out ''high'' CPU usage before, in which they combined uses 2% CPU, lowering Cinebench score about 2% as well but I do not know if this is relevant for this protracted slowdown problem. If I do remember correctly however, Google Chrome has always been open when the slowdown starts so that could potentially be causing it. I have not found any weird program sucking up performance in Task Manager tho. Yeah, hopefully it is not some mining crap... Hardware specs in signature below:
  12. So, I have had some weird crashes on my PC ever since I built it in mid-december. It is not really any straight forward crash, like a BSOD or anything like that. Instead it is a protracted slowdown of the system. Here is generally how it happens: At first, usually when I'm watching YouTube, the video starts slowing down (audio is fine), then speeds up, slows down again and freezes, audio from the video keeps running tho. The YouTube tab stops being responsive as well and every other tab too, although I can switch between the tabs without problem. I then try to close Chrome, usually without succes, so I then open Task Manager to force it to close but now the Task Manager is not working properly either. Firstly, usages for different apps do not update like they usually do with the % usage and such. On the performance tab, it is not updating anything either, everything is static. One weird thing I have noticed on the performance tab for the GPU tho is that sometimes it shows a -1% usage and even a 169% usage one time somehow. When PC is working properly I never see the usage for the GPU go over 100% or under 0%, which is logical, -1% and 169% should not be possible but it happens during this weird ''crashing'' sequence. Enough with that tho. I sometimes then open other programs, programs already running usually opens but then do not work properly, like, some things in the program works while another is unresponsible. Sometimes when I open a program it gets stuck half way through opening it tho and it gets completely unresponsive. At this point, Task Manager is still not updating so that is unuseful. Every program open then slowly starts calling it a day one by one and get unresponsive, some I can still minimize and open even tho the program specific tabs and options does not do anything. While this happens, the sound from the original YouTube video that was playing stops as well. Now, most programs get completely unresponsive, some Windows functions may be working tho, but not properly. Like, clicking the Windows icon in the buttom left corner usually just brings up a black box, the taskbar icons can be moved in a weird way, like they can be moved into each other, they do not snap besides each other anymore. When I click the ''Show hidden icons'' on the taskbar and hover over the programs the grey outlining box that shows when hovering over an icon can get stuck on many of the other icons, this does not happen when Windows is working properly. Usually at about this time, everything stops working completely, well, except for the mouse pointer somehow. I can always move the mouse pointer, that has never become unresponsive, but everything else is. The only thing I can do at this point is to force a restart with pressing the restart button on my PC case and then I'm back into Windows about 15 seconds later and everything is working like it should. One more thing to mention tho is that when the PC slowly starts ''crashing'' the iCUE RGB lights in my PC changes color to the defualt setting. Oh, and one last weird thing is when I open and minimize different programs when the PC is starting to act up, sometime some text from the program gets stuck on the screen and does not minimize with the rest of the program. When this happened today, I decided to record some of it with my phone. Although, today, the ''crashing'' was not so severe at all actually, sure, my programs became fairly unuseable (albeit not completely unresponsive), Task Manager stopped updating, GPU usage showed -1%, Windows could not be shutdown or put to sleep, nothing happened when pressing those ''options'', the icons in the taskbar could be moved in a weird way along with the ''Show hidden icons'' grey outliner getting stuck on many icons at the same time, and I had to make forced restart to get Windows working like normally again. I do not know if anyone else have experienced this weird ''crashing'' before but it is always worth posting here on LTT just in case. Below is a link to the clip showing some of what Windows looks like during this weird ''crash''. It is not a very good clip to showcase how Windows act up tho since like I said, this time it was not that severe at all like it has been the other times when everything, except for the mouse pointer, one by one gets completely unresponsive... TL;DR - System starts slowing down, usually when watching YouTube so the video stops but sound keep going. Then, other programs start becoming unresponsive, not all at the same time, but over a couple of minutes. HWMonitor and Task Manager stops monitoring as well so I cannot see if any particular program is taking up extra resources or what the system temps and usages are... After somewhere between 3-6 minutes after first slowdown, everything usually becomes completely unresponsive, except for the mouse pointer which I can still move around. A forced restart fixes everything tho. This has happened about once every two weeks or so since I built my PC in mid-december. Any thoughts and, or feedback, on what could be causing this is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!
  13. I'm actually not sure if the M2 chip will be the one with all the extra cores. I feel like it would be the replacement for the M1 chip, although potentially with 10 CPU cores, four little, six big, and 10 GPU cores. The one with like 12 CPU cores and 16 GPU cores would make more sense for a X-version, like M2X. For example, MBP 16'' starting with M2 with the upgrade option for M2X would be my best guess. I do however also believe that the M2 will be considerably better than the M1, even tho I don't think it will be a 12 CPU core chip.
  14. It will probably crash when you least expect to be honest... Sometimes it seems stable but then suddenly isn't a few days later. But it seems like you have gotten a very good 5900X for it to be working that well!
