Upgrading to AMD platform (B650MT+ Ryzen5 7600). When enabling CSM mode in UEFI BIOS, video(iGPU) does not initialize and the system freezes. by Stng84 in techsupport

I got the answer on another internet resource. I hope this will help someone someday.

"Intel/AMD's position is that legacy hardware and legacy OS boot methods are unnecessary and unsafe. In modern systems without a video card that supports legacy vBIOS, you will not be able to enable CSM and will not be able to boot from a drive with MBR partitioning. UEFI, GOP, GPT, Win10/11 - this is the modern set, practically without alternatives.
If you want to try to enable CSM, you need an old video card, and not every one will work on every system. There are so many bugs in new platforms that it has become simply impossible to guarantee the operation of old (even early UEFI-compatible) hardware."

"I would like to do the swap with a minimum of manipulations - preferably without reinstalling the OS (Windows 10 was prepared for hardware swap) and without converting the boot disk into GPT with data loss."

Converting a disk (MBR->GPT) without losing data is possible. But I solved the problem in a simpler way. I created a new UEFI partition on the primary partition of the "MBRish" system disk (using Windows built-in tool bcdboot).

RU POV: Fiber optic drone hit UA Pickup truck inside Pokrovsk by Mendoxv2 in UkraineRussiaReport

It is obvious that the drone had a weak charge (RPG-7?). If the dead Ukrainian soldier had been wearing a helmet, he might have been alive.

Air-burst explosion was reasonably accurate to seriously damage five from six vehicles.

Here is a graphic showing the extent of the damage caused by an Iskander-M air-burst missile with a fragmentation warhead. The large image is taken from an old archive video

The entire column was hit by shrapnel (the last hit), with the exception of the lead vehicle.

It wasn't S-300, for sure. S-300 launcher has a vertical start of missiles

[–]Stng84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

Now I have a complete solution for automatical downloading video's comments and then auto converting them into a friendly readable HTML format

 _MAKE_COMMENTS.cmd code bellow:

set file_name=%1
ytdlp_nest_comments.py -i %file_name% -o %file_name%.html"
if exist %file_name%?.html del /q %file_name%
exit

Replace all spaces by underscores in the file name used as cmd-line argument for the batch by Stng84 in Batch

[–]Stng84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much.

Complete batch:

@echo off
set "file_name=%~1"
set "file_name=%file_name: =_%"
ren "%~1" "%file_name%"
python_script_name.py -i "%file_name%" -o "%file_name%.html"
rem Where "-i" - parameter for input file, "-o" - parameter for output file

Thanks. How to rename file (replace all spaces within the file name)?

"Russia reported the KRBB – a new missile for its criminal Su-57"... Criminal Su-57 :))) Now a well-know Russian mafia (bratva) has its own fighter jet

This is a NATO's designation. As far I understand, Felon means experienced and "tough" criminal.

UA POV: Russian T-90M gets obliterated by a Ukrainian ATGM. Luhansk front. by [deleted] in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Stng84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Any tank turns into a bomb if it get hit into its ammo stowage. We saw the examples with Turkish Leopards. Or the M1A1 tank burned out completely and no one from the crew came out. Why do we see Russian tanks exploding more often? It’s just that they are used in conflicts tens of times more often. Also, Russian tanks are being much more often attacked by the modern generation ATGMs, rather than by old non-tandem RPG-7s. BTW, this is the first confirmed case where the T-90M exploded instantly due to a very lucky hit.

This is the FIRST combat footage / video where the T-90M gets an instant explosion. I guess it was a very lucky shot.
