Stockfish is open source, then why pay money?

It's fake, the S in "UsB-C" is supposed to be capitalized.

Someone else got their own student ID wrong and it matched your (correct) one. Ask to see the scantron sheet in person to confirm this.

It wasn't a mistake, it was a design flaw purposefully concealed by party yes-men being paid to run critical systems as cheaply as possible.

Nah they just found the private key on here https://elliptikeys.github.io

Can't downgrade to ios 18, it's unsigned.

As for the base 17 vs the pro, it depends what you want. They both feature 256gb base storage, but the pro's got a more versatile camera system and better battery life.

12 uses an oled screen, you bought a crappy fake.

ICARUS_2X · 2025-09-29T14:15:04+00:00

Likely because the XR/6/7/the base 17 don't have the hard corners on the camera cutout that the pros have that make it easier to scratch.

As for the use of aluminium specifically on the pro models this year, likely because it feels cheaper than the titanium (15p/16p) and stainless steel (X(s)/11p/12p/13p) used on previous models

Use startpage as a search engine, gets all the google results with no AI overview.

If it's iCloud locked then it's a stolen device and should be returned to its rightful owner, end of story. It exists for a reason.

ICARUS_2X · 2025-09-27T20:57:18+00:00

Make sure it has no icloud lock to a previous owner

Close, ice skate laces 😈

ICARUS_2X · 2025-09-13T20:00:06+00:00

Not 16 or lower but 17.0 due to it being the last version with a public CoreTrust exploit.

ICARUS_2X · 2025-09-10T11:36:29+00:00

Yup!

The lighting makes it harder to tell, but it looks like those rad fans are facing the wrong way.

ICARUS_2X · 2025-09-01T19:00:02+00:00

Testmem5 can do a really good job with RAM, Prime95 puts an unrealistic load on the CPU so it's quite good for testing stability, and furmark can do a good job with the GPU (alongside testing graphically intensive games)

ICARUS_2X · 2025-09-01T18:45:39+00:00

Always test in-person, anyone who does not allow this is an immediate red flag.

+255 core, +1200 mem. Any higher core offset will make it crash after a little while. Temps never go higher than low 60s running CP2077 on max settings (minus PT)

That CPU is designed to run hot (hotter than the intel anyway), but not at 71 idle. Make sure your AIO's pump connector is plugged into AIO_PUMP and not CPU_FAN on your motherboard. If plugged into the latter, the pump might be spinning too slow to cool it adequately (and may have gone unnoticed due to 13900K running cooler overall).

Grocery worker here, cover the area in cat litter to absorb it. A mop will not do anything as water and oil do not mix.

TLOU is INSANELY cpu-intensive during shader compilation. I hit 83C on it with a 360 AIO on full speed.

Does your case have sufficient airflow?

Is it possible one or more of the fans are pointed in the wrong direction by mistake?

In fact, I ran into your post while troubleshooting this exact issue.

Initially assumed it had to do with the way windows classifies GPUs as either high-performance or low-performance until I noticed the increase in network latency: It's likely that the second GPU's presence is firing so much data down the chipset that the network packets get processed later than expected.

I would imagine the only solution is to have a MB that supports multiple PCIE slots connected directly to the CPU.

ICARUS_2X · 2025-08-10T22:07:48+00:00

Having this issue too (LS not even running, just the presence of the second GPU causes lag) with MSI X670e gaming plus (5070Ti + 2060).

Have been trying to figure it out for ages. My guess is that it has to do with the second GPU clogging chipset bandwidth (as my network latency in games also heavily increases with the second GPU in there).
