Also, jut because you have a 1 Gbps connection to your router, doesn't mean your internet speed will be 1 Gbps

Extra RAM will only help you if you're running out of it. 8GB can definitely be not enough these days, but I suspect the other components in a DDR3 system might also not be quite up for a modern AAA. Might not be worth the upgrade if you'll immediately run into a bottleneck somewhere else

I cannot for the life of me understand why USA carriers have any role to play whatsoever. I've never seen one do anything anything to my phone other than provide the connection. It's like having your ISP reskin your Windows updates

EA buys microsoft, then roblox buys EA for 2 trillion robux.

Sure it is the same as between what Marx&Engles wrote and every attempt at communism.
 
One is a nice piece of fiction suitable for philosophical discussions the other is what happens when real people are exposed to simple solutions for complex problems.
-> there will always be some who manage to game the system and masses that just don't care as long as it doesn't interfere with their comfort zone.
 
On this topic, there are plenty of actors in the game (from those car dealers to IT scalpers and bankers only advising their costumers what gives them the greatest cut)
There are obviously enough people who just don't care enough to NOT buy scalped/ marked up products.
And there are millions that just don't care because it is other people's problem.
 
All is human nature and trying to change that is surely not a path we wanna go on...

Also by default it will do things like poll SMART data from drives every 2 seconds, which usually makes them run internal checks each time. Good to increase that interval by a lot, doesn't need to be more than ance an hour or so. 

I'm struggling to understand why is that a problem

Congratulations, you've demonstrated Linus' point about the Linux community being condescending whenever someone doesn't know how to do something.

The spec sheet for the M28U says it comes with a USB cable in the box. Isn't it USB-C on both ends? Using the stuff included by the manufacturer is always a safe bet

Only one type is used with arrogance and disregard for all others.

Budget (including currency): 
Country: México
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone,Streming in general
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Ryzen 5 3600,GTX 1660TI,ASUS Micro ATX TUF Gaming B450M-Plus II,RAM Patriot Viper 4 Blackout DDR4, 3200MHz, 16GB (2x 8GB), Non-ECC, CL15, 1.35V, XMP,Noctua NH-U12S redux, SEASONIC X-650 and Thermaltake Versa H18
 

I don't think scared is the right word. People just don't care to bother.
I honestly find it surprising how tech people don't understand this, because it applies to pretty much everything. Most drivers don't know anything about cars beyond simple usage. Most fridge owners don't know anything about fridges beyond "open door, put things in". People just don't care about really knowing most of the tools they use in their daily lives, yourself included. And that's not really a bad thing

And how is Windows usage since then? Coz that's kinda relevant info as Windows isn't just stagnating and Linux is eating into its market share. Reason why more users use Linux is because it's less shit than it was. But in all honesty, fiddling with it since Knoppix and Slax day and it's still pretty bad even today. A lot better, but it's still terrible OS to work with. It's only good if you experience absolutely zero issues with anything. As soon as you do it's nightmarish combing through console commands and fiddling with kernels and shit. Do not want ever again.

Hi. My motherboard (MSI X570 ace) has a red LED in between the 24-pin and the RAM. It is not one of the POST debug LEDs, it is not mentioned in the manual and there is nothing written on the board next to it. I remember the light being lit back when I first built the system, but everything worked so I just kinda ignored it. It stopped shining after one of the BIOS updates. Well, today I did a memory overclock and the light came back on. Once again, everything works, and the OC seems stable. Does anyone know what it means, and whether this is something I should care about?
 
Specs:
MSI X570 ace
Corsair Vengeance 2*16GB 3200Mhz 16-18-18-36 kit currently running at 3600MHz 1.4V with XMP timings
Ryzen 3900X running on maxed out PBO
Corsair HX750i

Seems fine to me how they wrote it.
To me "asking, for a long time" means that you have been asking [it a question] for a long time, which sounds odd.
To avoid the double for you could write it as "for a long time i have been asking for this product" or "I have been asking for this product for a long time". Though it really comes down to how you want to deliver it.

ROGastic project is finished. Final photos and video are here, thank you for watching!
 





















 

It's a very simplistic assumption, and there is more to the story than the planned obsolescence of light bulbs

About the light bulb planned obsolescence story
1. The market is crowded and competitive because many companies (big factories and small family owned businesses) are making light bulbs. Business is extremely unstable even for large corporations, as sales can fall as much as 60% on a year to year basis
2. Licensing GE light bulb designs means they need to follow a production quota, even though the factories can easily produce double that
3. Engineering something to fail at 1000 hours is actually challenging, or even more challenging than engineering something to last longer
4. It kind of did backfire, as small family owned businesses in Japan are able to produce inferior quality lightbulbs that are far cheaper than what the cartel had made, and their sales did tank in the 1930s

Secondly, "engineered to fail" is a misconception. Most of the time, engineers don't "engineer to fail", rather they engineer to a price point. "Engineer to fail" is more often used when the product is supposed to fail at a certain limit to protect the user, such as fuses in electrical systems or shear pins in machines.
 
Most engineers engineer to a certain price point. Usually, the marketing department observes the other products currently in the market and determines what kind of features the product should have and the estimated price of the product in order to be competitive in the market. As design engineers, they have to work around the limitations set by the marketing department, balancing out features and cost to produce the final product. There is no "design to fail" on purpose, unless the part is supposed to fail during excessive loads, like keys on motor shafts. These are safety features, designed to protect both the machine from excessive damage, and the user from excessive forces hurting them. Often these parts are replaceable. Yes cheaper components will be used, but engineers won't purposely engineer your products to fail, as this will invariably damage the reputation of the company. In addition, engineering to fail entails more cost than just engineering to meet cost requirements.
 
That isn't to say planned obsolescence isn't a real thing, but rather that most engineers approach design with balancing function, cost and durability in mind. There are also other forms of obsolescence, like technological obsolescence, where new technology is so good that it renders old technologies obsolete (like flash storage making optical media obsolete), and perceived obsolescence, where your product "loses fashion" when a new product is released.

Perceived obsolescence is the bigger issue, and the one that people should look into instead of planned obsolescence. Many products today are designed with more focus on aesthetics (industrial design) than on the function aspect (mechanical/electrical design). There is this desire in people of wanting the "latest and greatest", often to show off. Having the "latest and greatest" is sort of a status symbol, and it often fuels our ego (even though we might deny it), even though we might not need it. For example, people are clamouring for RTX 3000 series GPUs and Ryzen 5000 CPUs, even when their RTX 2000 series GPUs and Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are perfectly functional. I do feel it is part of the human psyche, and companies are reacting to this portion of the human psyche. This "disposable technology" part in the end is partly driven by technological obsolescence, and also partly driven by the human mindset of "latest and greatest" to show off their wealth.

That said, I do agree that "right to repair" is a problem. While miniaturization does makes things harder to repair, people shouldn't be denied the right to repair when they want their stuff to function instead of buying a new product. Heavy lobbying is also a huge concern, especially in the United States.

I have but one thing to say when I see a thread about planned obsolescence:
THIS is disposable garbage. If something is explicitly designed to fail or not function after a certain amount of time, to me, it's disposable.
Miniaturizing electronics always turns things into complex and hard-to-repair things. Look at tape camcorders from the 1990s. Have fucking fun repairing them. But that doesn't mean, at least to me, that they're designed to be disposable. No, it's just a side effect of things getting smaller and smaller. How long a device is supported is a fair thing to note, but at the same time, how long a device can be rationally used is also something to note.

Ok. I've looked at a couple reviews, and while the cooler is good, it's not amazing thermally, and the 10700K can definitely get toasty. It's looking more and more likely that MrSauber's idea is the right one. If you're completely unfamiliar with BIOS, you'd probably need someone with the same brand and generation of motherbaord to walk you through it, or... you could just leave it as is. It's honestly not that big of a deal, and if you're not the sort to enjoy tinkering with your system, it might not be worth the effort

It's time to do the cabling ...
 





 

Testing ESD on old components (DDR2 lol) to see if it matters in this day and age.  
 
Then guy says we carry 8-12 on carpet, but uses 25 to shoot at the PCB to kill the first stick.  K
 
Then they hit it with a 12 (max you carry on carpet per him) - and it cant kill the components.  They have to go out of their way to kill it this time.  Repeated attempts.  On DDR2.  After 5 attempts to kill it they couldnt (with what is said to be carried by shuffling on carpet).  On the 6th attempt where they fucking try like 8 times in a row, it wont die.  Then they TRY AGAIN and cant.  I stopped counting the amount of electricity they arced through this DIMM.  
 
I finally stopped watching 11 minutes in because I too can do stupid stuff to kill components to tell stories.
 
Ghost Stories.  
 
The title was almost good enough to watch, the content sucked so couldnt finish it.  Had hoped to learn something here for once in an LTT video, rather than just the forum of users that teach people things.
 
 
 
 

Depends on how much the looks are worth to you. It would work, but definitely run hotter, and thus slower
