My thoughts exactly.

Agreed, it’s true for most devices. They’re often finicky, don’t offer anything in terms of feedback (Except maybe for a beep that is identical for all button presses) and they don’t last.

Yeah I really hope other car makers follow because I fucking hate touch controls in cars with a burning passion. It’s idiotic and not safe at all.

Probably not, it was just a way of saying that there is absolutely something wrong with that.

They’re just a sad person.

It would definitely be within their rights to do so.

Eh, yeah maybe you’re right but it’s such a tremendous amount of performance to lose out on for a couple keystrokes. Any halfway decent guide for beginners should be mentioning it but I don’t know how people outside my circles build computers. Do they read/watch guides? Do they just plug shit together and pray that it works? 🤷‍♀️

Well what we’re talking about here is just memory speeds, not core overclocking. If you’re building a computer and you’re paying for RAM that is rated at a certain speed, you need to enable XMP to have it run at that speed. Since the memory controller is now integrated into CPUs, intel considers that overclocking so it voids your warranty. I think most people who are buying CPUs to build their own PCs know this and will not run at base JEDEC speeds.

It’s a bit shitty because we then have to trust that they won’t use this as an excuse to void the warranty on chips that had a fatal defect to begin with. Overclocking is pretty safe unless you’re doing extreme overclocking and they won’t say how they determine if a failure was caused by an overclock or not.

It’s definitely “more fair” for AMD than Intel to do it since they don’t charge a premium for unlocked processors but I still don’t like it. They developed PBO, it’s a feature included with the CPU I bought, I want to be able to use it without fear of losing my warranty, but even just enabling that will trip that fuse.

Hah yeah actually, that should become the standard for Intel CPU reviews.

That’s a bit shitty but hopefully they don’t just use it as a trap to deny any warranty coverage on an overclocked CPU.

Meanwhile Intel will void your warranty if you’ve enabled XMP. I don’t know if they have a way of telling if you did so or not but they will try to trick you into admitting it when you’re asking for an RMA.

I’ve noticed that when I open a video in a new tab instead of just left-clicking it. Slightly annoying but better than ads and using chrome.

There was actually a crypto named after those called RaiBlocks but it’s called Nano now.

Ok but what exactly are they doing about it other than show that pop up? I’ve been getting it for the past couple days and I simply press the X and my video continues playing. It’s annoying and I’m sure they’re gonna make it more and more annoying and more difficult to block but other than that. What are they doing?

OOF yeahhhh… oops 💀

Hahah nice. I like both of these. I thought about the second one but then figured it was too close to the flag of France, even though my peoples flag is basically the France flag with a yellow star in the upper left corner.

I really like the first one too but I also feel like changing the maple leaf to blue would not fly with a lot of people.

Maybe the original Canadian duality flag was the best compromise 😂

As a French Canadian (Acadian), I don’t mind it either. It’s a nice looking flag. Something about the blue being proportional to the French speaking population kinda irks me though.
