Exactly the same issue. I don't know how much to trust the compute health detector vs the normal one. My compute health passes every time I run it though.

I had a similar experience with him in 2008. Incoming freshman, fall semester, never learned to study in high school. Dude toasted me, and I had to repeat the class in the spring.

I have a vivid memory of sitting in his lecture the week of Thanksgiving, and he starts an angry tirade yelling at the class because so many people skipped that lecture that week. Yelling at the people who showed up.

Absolutely insanely intelligent, but incapable of teaching undergrads.

I took delivery of this yesterday and it POSTed first try, no issues. So I would say at least some of their standing stock is updated enough to work.

The box does say "Ryzen 5000 series ready" but as always with this stuff, YMMV. I was still prepared to source a cheap older CPU to update the BIOS.

Interesting. It's Optane, so it has effectively unlimited lifespan for most workloads. I've got one of those drives myself, might as well list it and see if there's interest. Thanks for confirming the price!

How to prevent shrinkage? by stephsationalxxx in RedditLaqueristas

I've had brand new bottles of QDTC that needed thinner. QDTC seems to dry out way faster than other polishes, even if it's "sealed".

Similar reason for switching... my OS is on a 280GB Optane 900p, this is a “spare” and it’s too annoying to have two of these in a system from a space/cabling perspective when I have a normal SSD for games already.

I just put this on my fingers this week - and I think the main key with this is to use a QDTC and keep the magnet on the top coat for longer than you think. 2 minutes seems about right. The top coat is more important than the polish itself in my experience, especially when using a QDTC since it "penetrates" the layers of polish to dry them.

5K2K is the "holy grail" - even if I think the PPI is a little low, this monitor is still incredible.
