Hm, couldn't they do something similar to short selling? I mean, if I know that I have X shares which I can sell in 4 years, I could borrow (and immediately sell) the same amount of shares with the obligation to return them in 4 years?

TL;DR always treat vendor-provided benchmarks as BS and wait for independent testing.

Is this jacket AI-enabled? What chatbots are available when you talk to the jacket?

The AI hype is real. I missed out on Nvidia, but watching their shares skyrocket, I bought AMD, guessing that they will jump on the train soon. This move recently funded a good chunk of my new car 😊

So what's the difference between an e2e encrypted video call and controlling a weapon via an encrypted protocol? Signal strength?

Tbh I have never seen a BIOS update mechanism that would work like that. Probably if the keys were indeed compromised, we can expect some MSI site clones popping up and malicious ads being used to promote them... Bookmarks and password managers to the rescue 🛟

So, any thoughts on potential consequences for MSI users? Provided that I always double-check where I download my BIOS from anyway and have already changed my MSI account password, just in case?

Am I the only one not getting which environment those "open air" cases are designed for? My ROG Helios case is not open air, also it sports 3 dust filters and I do clean my apartment, no BS! However when I use my electric dust blower after several months of PC usage, I see that no filter is 100%...

This! Add a vertical graphics card that blocks the m.2 slot and you don't feel like completely removing it to avoid the hassle, so you push the card aside and it stays there in some very awkward unsafe position, held in place by power cords and God's will, just enough for you to access the m.2...

Update: I have no logical explanation for this, but after not touching the PC for a couple of days (actually not long enogh for the CMOS battery to go empty), reseating everything several times and connecting / disconnecting the monitors many times it suddenly just started working again. I guess...

Hi everyone, this is the initial setup I had: ROG Strix Helios case, ROG Thor 850P PSU, ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570, Ryzen 9 5950X, ROG Ryujin 360 AIO, 4x8GB G.Skill TridentZ Royal 4000 C15 (F4-4000C15D-16GTRG), MSI 3080 SUPRIM X (installed vertically with a Strix PCIe riser), 3 monitors...

I have the card in question, got the VBIOS using nvflash --save and uploaded it to my drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1umR5s_vXAGLtv71kTDkXP0Eb9ESumpbl/view?usp=sharing Please note that I am indeed not responsible for anything you do to your GPU :)

Hi everyone, I plan on getting a new headset within the next 12 months and already started looking (so I'm also considering upcoming models). I'm not quite sure if a headset which ticks all the boxes actually exists (at least I didn't find one yet), so I'm asking for community input. I will...

Hi everyone, I have a ROG Thor-850P PSU and needed a 3rd power cable to feed my new MSI 3080 Suprim X. I got this one by CableMod after double-checking it suits my PSU. I noticed that the PSU connectors on other cables that I have feature 7 "slots" (the new one has only 6), here's the...

Hey everyone, I have tons or peripherals ( with some requiring 2 ports due to passthrough, e.g. keyboard, mousepad, the ROG Throne...). Port shortage is not an issue since I always have higher-end mobos in my builds and pay attention that there are enough USB ports. The amount of cabling is...
