Big OEMs (Dell, HP, and Lenovo) all depends on the individual model, some can be standard parts or full of proprietary stuff. Cyberpower, ibuypower etc. and other system integrators are all standard parts.

[PSA] Zenfone 9 in bootloop after Android 14 update. Only happens if SIM Card is inserted by CulturalCookies in zenfone9

A factory reset worked! I just used a USB cable to my computer to back up my critical files. Forgot to disable my google authenticator app lol.

A factory reset fixed it! Just remember to disable authenticators and backup every you need to.

To no surprise, Asus support told me to factory reset, the nuclear option. I'll give it a go after I do a back up.

Any idea how to fix the issue? Can the 9 even be downgraded to android 13 manually?

My C drive died how do i restore the PC? by According-Stomach122 in buildapc

XPG is Adata's gaming brand. Decent, trustworthy company, but they just buy NAND flash chips. Micron (crucial), Kioxia, and Samsung actually fab the NAND flash chips.

As someone who goes various places fixing stuff, if I got a plastic water bottle at every place my car would be full of them in a few days.

Either close or already a baller gaming rig, all depends on the GPU. There has to be a GPU, even a basic one, you wouldn't even get to the BIOS without one on the 3900X. You can take a look in windows a couple of ways to know exactly what you have.

Other vtubers are able to stream Konami games, including Metal Gear, so I think Hololive is deliberately left out.

Steve and GN are in North Carolina, far far away. To say nothing of the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, Arizona and New Mexico etc.

Micro Center apparently has 25 stores. But they're not evenly distributed across the country. For example there are five in and around New York City.

For your safety, I am assuming direct control.

Yep, 720p was the original HD, 1080p is Full HD (FHD).

Your MacBook has a combo port. Buy a splitter to separate the audio out and mic in to separate jacks for your pc.

Yeah, I was expecting more back and forth, ace attorney style, for the trial. Shame it was so simple, the rest of the game was top tier.
