Hopefully that fixes the issue for you. Of the reviews I read through for MSI AM5 boards that seems to help most people. That and updating the BIOS.

SATA hasn't been a cheaper option in awhile. Look at pricing on Amazon, both bottom out at around $50 - $60 for 1TB. It's not higher capacity either. Consumer SATA tops out at 8TB as does M.2. Max capacity is equal. The only consumer 8TB SATA drive is QLC to boot. If you consider...

No the issue was definitely fixed, it's just that some MSI boards with memory context restore on default tend to not enabling memory context restore sometimes for some reason. You should ensure that your BIOS is up to date and that memory context restore is set to enabled (not just default)...

Boot time had nothing to do with the CPU, it was due to AM5 being a newer platform. Mind you there's no need to "hope" for anything, that issue was fixed a long time ago.

The myth is that your vision will get worse until you go blind if you stare at something close for awhile. By your own words that isn't "Kinda" false, it is false. As you pointed out there are other factors but those do not change the falsity of the myth. Not really applicable to VR either...

First, the focal range of most HMDs is 6ft Second, the notion that you'll go blind by staring at a screen too close is a myth that's completely false. Go ask any optometrist. What you are looking for is varifocal lenses. Some HMDs have been prototyped with them (including by meta) but...

CoWoS is able to provide 8.6TB/s of bandwidth: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/tsmc/cowos That was circa 2022, current implementation on Blackwell could be even better. On-chip communications have a scaling issue wherein routing more and more data lines throughout the chips becomes increasingly...

Mobile games tend to be lower complexity and lower resolution so that might be a factor in making it possible. It might even be acceptable to just ray trace a single object on mobile. There are plenty of virtual Waifu games where you'd only need to RT one girl / guy at a time. Of course it...

No one has argued that having a computer is a right. Vayra86, Lexluthermieste, and myself have argued that having access to some sort of device with internet is a requirement in modern day life. There's no right to clean drinking water either and yet it's something we can all hopefully agree...

Was not aware of this TBH. It will be very interesting to see how efficient Nvidia's and AMD's new chips are and their performance.

Unless the SSD specifically advertises PLP (power loss prevention), there is always a chance of data corruption during a power event. There are only a few consumer SSDs that offer PLP while it's very common in the enterprise space.

I don't believe that statement and investing in AI are mutually exclusive. Then again I also don't think Musk really cares so long as he's making money.

It's rather ironic that a company such as Dell that helped Intel gain it's monopoly over the market and continues to inhibit AMD's penetration into the broader consumer market (even getting them to offer AMD server processors has been like pulling fingers despite AMD's dominance in that space)...

Yes, I don't see the point in that. You still need some sort of device for display and input even if a server somewhere is doing all the work. At the end of day it's going to be a bad experience on a $50 tablet whether windows is being run in the cloud or locally.

Every right we currently enjoy was at one point not a right. If you know that a person needs an computer or some form of advanced electronic device to exist in modern society, then you'd know that it would be absolutely silly to not spend the $50 - 200 on providing a basic version of such a...
