The UX for this seems to be absolute shit.

Absolutely, this is decidedly user hostile design.

leave the system powered to complete this process, which in some instances has been seen to take up to 15 minutes.

Have you tried this?

If you don’t let it finish, the system will continue to POST with unstable values.

Security including but not limited to:
Spectre:

Meltdown:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security_vulnerability)
Downfall:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(security_vulnerability)

These issues stem from several areas of CPU optimizations, Unsafe Branch prediction, multi-threading, and memory optimizations. While some AMD CPU’s were somewhat touched by spectre/meltdown, they could be patched pretty easily, while Intel was hit for several complete generations of CPU’s, and patches caused speed decreases of sometimes 30%.

Stability:
Several issues with overheating:

Unclear guidelines for CPU setup:

This widespread malpractice caused unsafe and power hungry OC to be default on many motherboards.

Compatibility: There were compatibility problems with crashes when Intel introduced e-cores, where the solution was to disable e-cores. Unfortunately this problem is apparently now drowned out by newer problems with Intel CPU’s, so I can’t easily find sources.

In most cases these problems are not total killers, but they often cause the CPU not to perform as advertised. And they do cause occasional crashes, as we could see in the video, way more often with Intel than AMD for the past 2 generations, but there were also problems with 12th gen. and AFAIK with almost every gen since Kaby Lake (Spectre Meltdown).

This is a massive issue seen over time, so I have probably left things that are significant out. I have left out things that go too far back on purpose, because I don’t consider them relevant anymore, everything before Core2 is irrelevant now IMO.

Interesting video, and can we please end the idea that Intel is still the more trustworthy option?
There have been so many scandals with Intel CPU’s for the past 10 years that there is no way they deserve to be deemed as the trustworthy option, when AMD pretty reliably have had much fewer compatibility reliability and security problems, despite being more innovative.

I don’t mean AMD has been better in total among the 3 categories, but better in ALL the categories!!

he is basically of the same feather as Putin, both are authoritarians, which explains the hugging.

True.

You may be right, but I am not aware of the west taking sides between India and Pakistan, but I know there were borders decided by UK, that were not agreeable to both sides. Which AFAIK is the reason for the conflict between India and Pakistan.
UK was probably involved, because it was them that fucked up IDK? But there’s a huge difference between UK the colonial power 60 years ago, and Europe after EU, which has a mission for peace as a fundamental value and reason to be formed. As an example this was also the reason many EU countries did not join USA in the attack on Iraq.

Russia on the other hand, is now showing they may be even worse than the USSR. So zero progress under Communism, and 30 years of zero progress for Russia after Communism, while Europe has developed strong democratic values, that also aim to respect the rights and sovereignty of other countries outside the EU.

Again this has to be compared to Russia not only waging war, but threatening to use nukes, and risking all of humanity, if they don’t get their evil ways, this is IMO worse than when India was a colony of UK. Although I acknowledge there were atrocities against India that should never have happened, and were definitely very serious war crimes against Indias civil population.

OK I’ll grant that’s pretty horrible, maybe it seemed less so in history class, because complete inhumanity seemed more common back then?

OK AFAIK UK did not cause evacuation of more than 10% of the population, they didn’t bomb schools and kindergartens, or destroy infrastructure to a point to make areas unlivable, and bomb cities until there is nothing left, or explode dams flooding large inhabited areas and risking nuclear incidents. Or cause half a generation of young men to be lost.

But I admit my knowledge of the occupation of India is limited. And I 100% grant it was bad. But were conditions honestly worse than they would have been under the former rulers? I suppose there was a reason India was relatively easy for UK to take.
India had lots of problems before UK invaded, way more than Ukraine, and most Ukraines problems was from hostilities from Russia that preceded the war.

Fortunately UK ended up leaving India voluntarily, which is the opposite of what Russia is doing, Russia left Ukraine in 1991, but then turned around and invaded, despite Ukraine had done nothing to provoke this.

pretty standard power trip behavior from an exec,

Definitely not in public, and I doubt even behind the scenes is such behavior normal, despite most execs have psychopathic tendencies for powertrips, they usually have more self control than Musk.

Musk was not just being an asshole, he was being an outright idiot about his own company.

Regarding the Cybertruck, I believe it’s a vanity project, because he wants to get rid of the woke image, as if that hadn’t already happened.
He wants that psycho right wing macho image, that comes with a “brutal” truck.

Clarence Thomas: The reason I took this trip to visit Putin in his home undisclosed, was of course so you shouldn’t find out.
You shouldn’t meddle in private matters, of who I’m gay with or not, or I’ll have you hanged.

I bet the boss loved the cheerleading dance. lol 🤣

Modi doesn’t have to embrace Putin for that, Putin is desperate and has to take what he can get.

I find it nauseating. Except if it’s for comedic effect.

Thanks, although that was a bit depressing, I was not aware he is this bad, and I checked other sources too.

I’m pretty confident that that’s the exact reason many Chinese car companies suddenly got very busy with exports.

Yes unfortunately it seems the right is getting more extreme almost everywhere.

I was not aware of that, in what sense?

The Christian alarmists claiming satanic blood sacrifices exist without evidence, is whataboutism to make people forget common Christian extreme practices, like not allowing abortion even in case of lethal danger to the mother.

Christianity needs to go, along with all other religions.

You can’t pray diseases away, this has been attempted for hundreds of years, and never been shown to work in even the slightest degree.
On the contrary there are indications that show people take longer to get well, or can even get MORE sick from it!

For instance this study:
https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health/longawaited-medical-study-questions-the-power-of-prayer.html

And later another study with similar results:

That’s pretty spot on, I’m especially impressed by the “every hour” news, which has absolutely been a thing for news casts for a while now.
I wonder how he would have responded to the ability for instant news? And every hour becoming kind of old fashioned.

India is showing a terrible double standard, they are hesitant towards the west, because India was once a British colony.
That is understandable.
But to support and “embrace” Russia when they are doing the same even worse to Ukraine is a disgusting double standard.

Shame on you India, for not changing with the times. Russia is obviously the evil empire today, even threatening nuclear war that could destroy life on earth.
