Good thing there's no more FEMA!

Wait, no that was a terrible mistake.

Yeah, clearly no component has ever died or could ever die earlier than its longest possible life span for any reason, overheating due to bad/old paste is the only possible reason a CPU in particular might die, you know everything about every system ever built including mine. I see my mistake and bow to your omniscience 🙄

Seriously, I'm embarrassed for you. Good luck in your studies.

I'm not the one who asked but thank you for summarising! It's late here and I'm too tired for a whole video, so this helped me. Those results are interesting. I've been planning on switching from Windows to Linux as my main OS; last time I tried was before the latest AM5/RDNA4 drivers were integrated, so I had terrible instability like Plasma crashing all the time and occasional lockups. I installed Windows 11 so I could at least get my work done, but if my environment can stay stable then it might be time to finish the move.

No power to influence it is incorrect. You do not have the power to change it. However, if you leave, you are a data point. If lots of people leave, they are also data points. Data influences decisions at most companies. This statement does not imply the data is read correctly, nor that the decisions made in light of the interpretation of the data are the best ones.

First of all, yes, everyone using older technology "has bullets coming at them", you clearly know as well as I do about wear and tear in electronic components so I don't know why the tone of your reply implies that older hardware will run fine forever as long as "nothing is wrong". It's a balancing act; you can't know if something's gonna go wrong with your hardware until it does, but failure rates go up the older it gets, plain and simple.

Secondly, yes, you completely misunderstood what I said. I upgraded before anything went wrong, for gaming and local AI primarily, and because I wanted to avoid the tariffs I knew were coming. I repurposed my old system in its entirety into a server, and not even a few months later it BSOD'd with the fatal hardware error. I know it can be a transient error, I said it's generally not, because that's my experience in the absence of overheating/overvolting. I had not overclocked at all, I don't feel like risking it for a few extra percent performance when I'm running a system for long-term stability.

Finally, I think you'll find that I not only didn't recommend an upgrade and just parted out an upgrade kit at what most would consider a reasonable price these days, but that I ALSO labeled my experience as an anecdote. Meanwhile, you gave your anecdote like it shows I'm an asshole or an idiot, or both, for upgrading when my PC wasn't on literal fire. Fuck me for trying to help a buddy out on the Internet, I guess.

I believe her. It doesn't change my extremely negative opinion of her, her positions, or her actions by even a single iota; but I believe her. Until proven otherwise.

FATAL HARDWARE ERROR: PROCESSOR CORE is generally not a transient error. Good for you that your old CPU is still going strong, but anecdata does not an argument make. This was my work machine and I can't risk it going down.

To save you a click:

H.R.1161 - To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland".

From the desk of the insoluble Rep. Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (from the land of ragweed and humidity and hating pedestrians, Georgia), may God shit forever on his dumbass inbred face 🙄

Hell yeah, talk about collective action! I'm sure the reports from this thread weren't the only ones, and it was probably already under review, but every pebble counts in a landslide. Thanks for letting all of us know 😊

Nice, thanks for you contribution! 🙌

edit edit: apparently they took it down because they were concerned he wouldn't ship, not because they enforce their own guidelines. I'd say "suck a dick, Shopify" but that would give blowjobs a bad name

Edit: The store is gone, good work everyone!

Whaaaaaaaaat the fuck. That is a Shopify store, and their terms of service explicitly state

It is not massively popular. Don't let yourself be fooled into thinking that. These mouth-breathing troglodytes are in the very slim minority as far as the whole population goes. A lot of the people voting for him actually did not know what they were voting for - I was just talking to one of my friends overseas and they had no idea about quite literally ANY of the things Trump and Musk are doing. I told them about the Department of Education, USAID, the Treasury access, and the concentration camps, and then they interrupted to offer to let me stay with them and seek asylum from the government here.

Many people in the US were in the same boat. The Fediverse gives the people on it a lot of information most people don't ever see, and the more people learn about what's actually going on the more people will start to oppose it.

I understand what you're saying now, and I of course still agree there are lots more questions to be answered. I might have ranged a little far with my examples, but it's still largely relevant; being found frozen and close to dead would absolutely be cause for a general physical checkup, inside and out, in trying to figure out what the hell happened and what else you might need treatment for. Where you were found wouldn't really impact that bit, so I don't think it's surprising that they checked for internal injuries and I don't think it's surprising that the family would take finding such injuries as a sign of malfeasance. Your point about the injuries on her hands and forearms stands unchallenged, by the way - tissue damage could 100% look like contusions or lacerations. If it turns out she has broken bones in her hands, though...

How is that determination made?

The determination is made by the circumstances under which the body is found; I was trying to imply this in my last post. If a body is found with no evidence as to how it got there or why the person in question is a corpse, we don't just shrug and go about our business.

We are indeed missing a lot of information. I'm not speculating about anything. I'm maintaining my original point that frostbite/hypothermia do not cause internal bleeding on their own, which is patently true, and answering what seem to be questions. I'm not a doctor or a police officer, but I have some baseline knowledge from first aid and forensics courses (my interests are... eclectic, let's say), so I share when I can.

The hypothesis behind your statement, you mean? Well, you just said your wife fell in frozen water and went hypothermic, and they didn't check for internal injuries. That's because they didn't suspect foul play, and they had no reason to look for internal injuries. But if there's a possibility of internal injury, medical staff will check for it. A possibility like if someone had in fact died of exposure and murder, instead of dying of only exposure. This is a possibility that must be considered when you just find a body in the snow.

There would be no specification of where the internal injuries came from because nobody has a crystal ball to know. Even if the police investigate, it's still going to be a "best guess" at what happened based on things like the coroner's report. Before an investigation it would be actively irresponsible for an official to speculate in public. (Source: reddit detectives thinking they found the Boston bomber)

You can get the Ryzen 5 7600X (6 core, 4.7GHz, AM5 socket) + Gigabyte B650m + 32GB DDR5-5200 RAM for US$382 here, which may or may not qualify as "a lot of money" to you: https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-7600x-ryzen-5-7000-series-raphael-zen-4-socket-am5/p/N82E16819113770?Item=N82E16819113770

Also includes a 1TB SSD (only PCIE4 though) at no charge, in case that matters. It'd make for a decent upgrade kit, in my estimation; you get more modern performance plus headroom for another AM5 upgrade down the track.

Also, anecdote time! My 3700X just blue-screened the other week with a fatal hardware error in one of the processor cores. I feel like I upgraded just in time. Don't fall into the trap of believing your current hardware will run forever! You might not need an upgrade now, but far better to do it while you still have old hardware you can reinstall so you at least have a working system.

Blood doesn't need to clot without ruptured blood vessels letting it out where it's not supposed to be. In other words, it wouldn't matter if there weren't wounds to begin with. As to elevated bleeding risk in surgery, typically surgery involves cutting flesh and the blood vessels therein, hence wounds to be affected by the elevated bleeding risk.

But neither frostbite nor hypothermia cause internal bleeding.

The hospital staff told the family the victim had signs of internal bleeding. That is not caused by frostbite.

partially responsible

Those fuckwits were so fucking loud and so fucking sure of themselves that they don't get to hide behind half-measures now. They get to enjoy full responsibility; I lay it at the feet of each and every one of them.

Your difficulty here is the qualifier "better". We can create a different icon. A more modern icon. A cooler icon. But there is not a better icon, not until fewer people understand the floppy means save than those who have no idea what it is. And because it's self-reinforcing ("the save icon is a floppy disk because floppy means save"), that's not likely in my estimation.
