I didn't watch it. I just read the headline and then came to read the comments here.

I have a i7-13700k that's been sitting in the box since I got a deal on it last month. I was pondering returning it and spending the extra couple hundred to get an AMD setup.

I've been following all this then checked on the Asus site for my board and saw the BIOS updates...

Updated with microcode 0x125 to ensure eTVB operates within Intel specificatIons...

And this week there's a beta release...

The new BIOS includes Intel microcode 0x129...

That was the first "Intel Baseline Profile" they rolled out to mobo manufacturers earlier in the year. They've roll out a new fix now.

This keeps getting slightly misrepresented.

There is no fix for CPUs that are already damaged.

There is a fix now to prevent it from happening to a good CPU.

Police officers are mentally ill? Interesting take.

Also, we're talking about pilots that you are already trusting with you're life and the lives of hundreds of people with you. If they were mentally ill they could just crash the plane and kill you.

These guys are genuinely invested in maintaining the safety of human lives.

Part of their training includes risk assessment that teaches them to sacrifice individuals if it is in favor of maintaining control of the plane.

They flat out train them to shoot through a hostage someone is holding. That one person's life isn't worth sacrificing the lives of hundreds of others on board as well is casualties on the ground.

So police officers are mentally ill? Interesting take.

Little known fact: many of the pilots behind those locked doors are armed as well.

The Flight Deck Officer program allows pilots to volunteer to become deputized Air Marshals. They receive training and are issued a badge and a gun.

Giant screens are a gimmick too. A practical phone would be a 4"-5" phone with a rough screen and a long lasting battery.

These giant phones and folding phones are boutique items.

You misunderstood. It's not practical for YOU. It's practical for Samsung who constantly needs a new gimmick to continue to hike the price of flagship devices higher.

My bet on why they are endorsing it: if they get an actor to sign something for Disney to use their image while they are alive, then they can hold onto that exclusive right to the image for 70 years after the actor dies.

Yeah not really sure how my comment ended up where it is. Connect stacks comments in a weird way and I must have clicked reply in the wrong place.

I was replying to this ...

Is there really still such a market for Intel CPUs? I do not understand that AMDs Zen is so much better and is the superior technology since almost a decade now.

...Which up untill this issue was NOT true. The entire Zen 2 line was a step behind the Intel chips that released at the same times as it.

I've been running a 3600x for years now and love it ... But a i5-10600k that came out at the same time absolutely smashes it in performance.

Yeah that does suck. But I was replying specifically to the person saying Intel hasn't been relevant for years because of a supposed performance dominance from AMD. That's part just isn't true.

Any real world comparison. Gaming frame rate, video encoding... The 13-700 beats the 7900x while being more energy efficient and costing less.

That's even giving AMD a handicap in the comparison since the 7700x is supposed to be the direct comparison to the 13-700.

I say all this as a longggg time AMD CPU customer. I had planned on buying their CPU before multiple different sources of comparison steered me away this time.

Yeah but PHEVs could be made a lot better. There has not been any push to improve on them, and there's plenty of room for it.

Toyota had a rad PHEV supercar concept that got 100mpg that never even came close to moving toward production. (As just one example)

I really don't get why PHEV never ramped up to be the next thing instead of all this push to go full electric when the tech and infrastructure isn't good enough yet.

...then it will catch fire.

Naw. Zen was a leap ahead when it came out but AMD didn't keep that pace long and Intel CPUs quickly caught up.

I just almost bought a Ryzen 9 7900x but a i7-13700k ended up being cheaper and outperforms the AMD chip.
