What’s system md? Sounds like the name of 90s anti-virus software.

So many people spell it incorrectly that I’m starting to worry that “sike” will become the official spelling. Language evolves, but I don’t want it to.

Gollum, Frodo, and Gandalf are in the Harry Potter films?

Never seen the third LotR film; I was literally about to finally watch it today so thanks for spoiling the movie for me.

Explain.

Please stop. I’m only in my 30s but you’re making me feel like I’m 80. To me, old is a 386 with 4MB of RAM, a 40MB hard drive, Windows 3.1, and a turbo button. Audio was limited to a single channel square wave courtesy of the PC speaker, cause sound cards were expensive.

Or if you want to really talk old in the personal computing realm, then we’ll have to start bring up companies like Commodore, Atari, and Radio Shack. But their computers were before my time.

Where’s the blue graph? You linked to a homepage of some website.

Nobody but the most hardcore AMD enthusiasts used Bulldozer. The 2010s was a tough decade for AMD, to say the least. It wasn’t until AM5 came out that I finally switched back to Team Red. Got too used to LGA sockets.

Yeah but 14th Gen Intel CPUs are still failing regardless of your OS.

Time to upgrade to a faster NVME (and possibly a better CPU too). Windows updates install so fast on a modern system that they don’t even bother me anymore.

Computer over?
Virus = very yes?

That’s not a good prize!

What do you mean? There’s only 21 comments, only one top level comment is inciteful, and pretty much everyone is calling them out. There’s nothing unusual going on in here.

You can enable “Memory Context Restore” in the BIOS. There are also “DDR5 training options” you can mess with if you know what you’re doing.

But like I said to the other person, the best way to speed up POST times is to simply keep your BIOS up to date. That alone has sped up my PC way more than any setting you can change.

Yeah I already did that but it’s actually faster now to leave the memory training bypass shit off. (And like you said, bypassing memory training can lead to instability.) But when this motherboard first launched it actually did help speed up POST times.

I’m just glad that AMD is committed to working with motherboard manufacturers to keep the BIOS updates coming. This is my first AMD machine; I’m used to getting just one update over the course of my machine’s lifespan—if even that—with the various Intel rigs I’ve built over the years.

Lol let me know if you find a good video.

Your Skylake laptop from 2015 boots faster than my Zen 4 desktop from 2022 (with a PCIe Gen 4 NVME SSD!)

This thing takes 25 seconds just to POST. The fucked up thing is that it used to be even worse, but has slowly been improving with BIOS updates. The good news is that once it’s up and running, this machine is ready to fuck. Programs open the second I click the icon and loading screens don’t exist in games anymore. But it’s still disappointing that AMD can’t figure out how to make their shit boot faster.

I’ve on more than one occasion saved an old laptop from being replaced simply by slapping a cheap SATA SSD into them. The owners are almost always convinced that they needed a new PC, when all they do with it is browse Facebook and watch TikTok all day.

Joking aside, has anyone legitimately tried to port an app to TempleOS, just for fun?

I remember hitting 1000 subscribers on YouTube. I’m still proud of that achievement.

What country is this from? That’s a rather confusing nutrition label; serving size is 15g but they show the nutrition facts for a 100g serving? It would make more sense to do the two column setup like the US does: show the info for one serving, and then the info for how much people actually eat (usually the entire package).
