  1. Looking for an AM5 mobo with several specific requirements. 1. 2 M.2 PCIe 5.0 4x slots. 2. 4+ SATA3 ports. 3. 2 NICs (at least 1 2.5Gb) Bonus points if the spec sheet does not lie. The MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI is almost there, only lacking in that second NIC. Asrock X670E Steel Legend has 2 NIC, but only 1 M.2 5.0 slot. The ROG Crosshair Extreme which covers all but price is absurdly utterly insane, AND it lies on the spec sheet. Also RGB . Maybe the MSI Carbon with an add-in NIC on the bottom-most PCIe slot (Chipset)? Honestly, the carbon looks like the most sensible PCIe lane layout out of literally all the X670 mobos, when you consider the chipset diagram. I'm working off the diagram on this page when considering the layout of IO for the X670 platform. And no mention of any caveats where plugging in 1 port disables another. For external IO, MSI gives us all the USB 3 ports provided by the platform (tho 4 are only 5G instead of the possible 10G) and 6 out of the 12 USB 2 ports (which is plenty). Are there any other recommendations I may have missed?
  2. I hope linus realizes that this backlash is not over this ONE THING, but that it was the spark over many small things that have been building up. That's how this stuff works.
  3. 1st one 6-7 yrs, second 7 yrs, 3rd is going on 4th. Oldest one's collecting dust at my parent's, but I think it still works so maybe you could argue I'm still holding onto it? Second one's the first that I built myself and is currently sitting next to me as a NAS/media server.
  4. Interesting to see Steve guest-starring on LTT. Incoming GN merger? Buy more LMG stonks!
  5. What the Captain said. I'm not sure we'll get a main-channel video about it this time - but I am still curious what happened. It'd be cool if they at least acknowledge it, but I don't know what channel of communication I should be watching.
  6. Just theory-crafting here, but... Encrypting cookies with a hardware-based key? Kind of like salting passwords in that regard. The internet is decentralized, so there could always be local issues. Or things can break in unexpected ways. I have a channel that shows 404 for me, even though I can still watch videos from it. But in this case it seems to be global.
  7. Maybe that's why I was the first. It's noon here. I just had lunch. This is gonna be a funny video after Linus' serious "everybody do better" last one.
  8. This is getting silly at this point... Nor do I see a thread about it. I'm never the first to notice, so... Could it be something local? The nearest google datacenter having a stroke? (Surely not threads getting removed.)
  9. Must be MAJOR if the channels aren't back up yet. Next WANshow is gonna be saaaaucy.
  10. Windows REQUIRES a minimal amount of swap space because its memory manager does not support overcommit. It needs to be able to promise overeager or poorly written programs more capacity than they will ever require. This is the difference between system commit and physical memory usage: Commit=how much was promised, memory usage=how much of what was promised contains actual data. Example: I on my machine currently have 27.3 GB of commit charge and 18.0 GB of physical usage.
  11. I know I'm late to this party(I'm a bit backlogged on the main channel), but I have this mouse. My previous mouse was G500s - it broke with the double click issue. My first G502 broke/experience the legendary double-click issue. I RMA'd, got replacements. The reason I use this mouse(and its predecessor the G500), BY A LONG SHOT is the button arrangement and programmability. I have all buttons mapped in every application I use frequently or require productivity in. Browsers, explorer, photoshop, excel, code editors, etc. I even have entire scripts attached to certain buttons/apps to do more complex things. Ironically, I rarely use the extra buttons in games. I mentioned the button arrangement - I specifically do not want an MMO mouse, because all extra buttons require essentially the same type of action - press on the side. The G502 has only 3 buttons on the side. But you can click the scroll wheel left or right, which can be mapped to many logical actions such as horizontal scroll, zoom, or similar directional actions. It helps build the mental map of "what do with which finger" to "action on screen" significantly faster and much less error prone. Don't care about the DPI, though I do run it at 15,000 with a very low pointer speed in windows (second slowest bar). As for light mice - I will take productivity over less weight any day. It does have one very annoying firmware bug that has existed since its release - when an application profile is switched, all mouse button states are released/reset - making drag-and-drop between applications that have different profiles impossible (because the thing you're dragging gets released).
  12. Does not actually answer the question. But I have been meaning to try the fancy zones, so I downloaded powertoys and I can answer the question: Powertoys Run does not support the advanced queries. But hey, if a tech tips forum doesn't appreciate free tech tips, who am I to argue.
  13. Why is it a downgrade? All the tricks and queries from the link work on W10. Can the powertoys search do the same things from the link I posted?
  14. This is related to the techquickie video that just went up (I suppose techquickies don't get threads of their own, so this will do). A long time ago, Microsoft themselves maintained a useful help page with advanced tips for using the file explorer search. It has since vanished, but through the awesome power of the internet archive, we can still access it. Behold: Advanced tips for searching in Windows
  15. Good suggestion. It looks neat. Thing is, it's always the main mouse buttons that fail. All the others work fine. Also... "bottoms"... *snigger*
