Re: Comments on new build components?
XMP is usually a safe goal to aim for to get the most out of a CPU/memory combo. It can produce a pretty significant performance uplift in some cases, just need to watch out for the BIOS doing stupid stuff mostly around voltages. Lots of them like to boost the voltage to the memory controller/system...

Always nice when it POSTs on the first attempt (though POSTing when XMP is not enabled yet almost doesn't count). I wouldn't put it past them to have renamed it after the exploit in order to avoid people looking it up on the internet, but that name is actually more descriptive and helpful for explai...

Yeah, that app center is probably it.

If you want a patcher, look up a command line utility called xdelta. If you bundle it with some pre-set command line scripts that run through the sequence you can get away with just patching.

Re: Mainstream media are reliable, FOX news is the bad guy?
Attacking the mainstream media also makes it easier to poison the well of information and get away with evil. Which is why the first step towards destabilizing or overthrowing a country in order to install a dictatorship involves attacking and then shutting down the free press.

Yeah, we regularly treat all the working parts of the blower with ceramic coating spray. It is an inexpensive but more durable automotive hydrophobic coating, lasts longer than an oil or lube spray. Think like Rain-X but for an entire vehicle.

7% may as well be 700%, if all the conservative media silos cover are the violence then they are all violent in their minds. Just like how Tucker Carlson cut and edited the footage to portray January 6th as orderly and peaceful which immediately became their unquestioned reality.
