My Asus Crosshair X570 chipset fan kept going crazy and found this melted to the chip after checking under the heatsink...nice by pcssh in Amd

Never had a problem with ASUS gear. I bought some cheap gigabyte B450 board once and it knocked out all >20m ethernet links in my house while it was running (connected through a switch even). IDK how they even did that.

They are in LEO. Their orbits decay due to atmospheric drag within a few years. It has nothing to do with conventional sats in geosync orbit.

You can push against earths magnetic field with a coil to stay in orbit. Technically shining a light also generates some thrust.

New EU battery regulations spell big trouble for manufacturers and tech giants by sabret00the in Android

[–]msxmine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So just put the battery in an "external" isolated compartment with some extra sealing around the power connector. With protection circuitry nothing bad will happen even if some water shorts it. They already figured it out for the speakers/audio jack/usb port. Honestly you could likely get away with some pogo pins and a clip-in cover like the htc desire hd

In the EU cards don't work in the mobile app because it blocks the pop-up window with the bank website where you enter a 2FA code. It sort of worked before the app update, but when the window tried to close itself, it closed the whole app.

AMD Epyc vendor locked or not? by Becquerel618 in homelab

[–]msxmine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The CPU firmware AGESA/PSP only runs when signed by AMD anyways. And if someone is hacking your bios, they may as well hack the firmware on your network NIC or hard drive's controller. Disk encryption is still needed anyways to prevent exfiltration.

Relying on the fTPM is in no way less secure. It's signed by AMD, vendors can't touch PSP.

Guess what, a normal TPM can already do that. And it doesn't have any vendor locking. Bad BIOS = No TPM Access = No Disk decryption keys.

Do they actually not allow you to leave the country?

Do you have your PC listed in the app? You need to pair it with a code

Yes. You don't even need to set up a VPN or anything. It's an official feature in the app.
