As quoted here: I totally agree. However, I believe not all CPU's are showing any sign of lasting damage - In a number of cases simply enabling all limiters as per Intel specification seems to resolve any stability issues.

No, no it's not. CPU's are binned according to clock speed, quite often certain CPU's will be binned at a lower clock speed than the speeds they're realistically capable of to fill a popular slot in the market. Such CPU's can be pushed to higher clock speeds with no notable increase regarding...

.... My CPU's showed no observable degradation under any workload presented to the processors in question. There was nothing to 'narrow down' as the CPU's in question handled every workload presented to them in a faultless manner. Unlike the Intel CPU's highlighted in the topic of this thread...

Except I don't need specialized tools to observe the possibility of operational degradation regarding the CPU's in question, which was my point from the beginning. No goal posts were shifted whatsoever. In the case of this very thread, Intel CPU's are showing observable degradation due to the...

Well if that's the case, than you can't claim electromigration can be a problem during the lifespan of a CPU without specialized tools. So checkmate, my point still stands. The 8700k in my sig has been running at between 5GHz with AVX offset and 4.8GHz without AVX offset since 2018, all cores...

BBC Model B with 6502 @ 2MHz says hello, the secondary 6502 expansion at 3MHz gives a fist pump. EDIT: MHz...Not GHz.

... Keep vcore and temps within acceptable limits and electromigration simply isn't a problem.

So CPU's degrade as a result of overclocking, but you need pretty specialized equipment to measure the degradation... ...Yeah, no. In the time I owned each and every overclocked CPU, by the time I was ready to pass that CPU on it was still running perfectly with no observable degradation...

I've been overclocking since the Celeron 300a days, possibly earlier if you consider I have a Commodore Amiga running an overclocked 68030 25MHz @ 40MHz. I've never encountered any degradation as a result of overclocking in all the years I've been doing it.

Holy hell...1.6v vcore? I find it ironic that we moved away from Netburst and back to the P6 architecture due to power consumption/thermal issues, and now here we are with processors that run as micro furnaces to the point that an AIO is a minimum necessity.

I love Michael Mann Movies. Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice & Blackhat are all awesome films. The shootout in Heat is simply breathtaking, as well as auditory bliss; while the night club scene in Collateral is possibly one of Tom Cruze's best performances as a calculating sociopath - Right down to...

C'mon, the younger generation have sound bars...[/s] ;)

I still love making mixed tapes from vinyl.

My 8700k, which is roughly the same era as the 1700x, has been running @ 4.8Ghz all cores synced with the power limit maxed out and AVX offset disabled since day dot - No problems at all. In game, all cores/threads hit a full 4.8Ghz and stay there.

Sorry my friend, I avoid VM's with GPU passthrough - Proton/DXVK/VKD3D is enough for me these days. Many platforms, like Roblox, detect if they're being run in a VM and refuse to run anyway. Certain client side anticheat solutions also detect if they're running in a VM and either refuse to run...

Honestly? You seem to have more of a problem with the fact that I'm claiming that it's entirely possible that one can use Linux daily with few issues whatsoever, than myself having an apparent problem with the unfounded belief that people 'must have' Photoshop and MS Office. But you do you...

Not really - and no, it doesn't bother me that there's people out there that believe they need Windows. But, moving on...

I'm not being ridiculous for no reason at all - The vast majority of Windows users 'do not' need Photoshop. Furthermore, I do not know you at all. Many accounting packages are now available online, accessible via your browser. The number of issues I've dealt with regarding client side...

The point being: Most don't need Photoshop or MS Office. It's an over hyped point of contention. As stated, considering ISO standards, MS Office is the least compatible office suite marketed as the most compatible. I don't know one person that 'needs' either MS Office or Photoshop.

This 100%.

At the end of the day, Microsoft Office is the worlds least compatible with ISO standards office suite, marketed as the most compatible. Like the whole Photoshop 'must have', MS Office is yet another over hyped point of contention. Very few people use Excel filled with macro's to the extreme -...

It works both ways. All members are equal here, I see no reason to judge anyone based on their preferred OS. What such discussion does highlight is the fact that more people are becoming aware of Linux as a viable alternative.

DLSS was supported under Linux the same time it was supported under Windows, DLSS2 took a couple of months to drop under Linux, DLSS3 was supported the same time it was supported under Windows. In relation to Nvidia hardware support, new GPU's are supported the same time they're supported under...

100% agreed. In fact the one time I did try to contact Microsoft direct to recover a lost Microsoft account, I was pretty much told to go away.

I run a single 4k monitor with fractional scaling, and I have no UI issues whatsoever running X11 - the only new technology I don't have access to is DLSS3.5 frame gen. DLSS1, DLSS2 and DLSS3 as well as NVENC work fine - Even Nvidia Reflex is supported as of VKD3D-Proton 2.12 and DXVK-NVAPI 0.7...

What lack of support is there under Linux? If you consider that Microsoft's own support forums are run by (clueless) volunteers, there's really no difference between Linux and Windows - With the exception of the fact that users in the Linux community have more of a clue than Microsoft's support...

Because Microsoft are underhanded and manipulative when it comes to M$ accounts while quietly enabling bitlocker in the background, couple that with the fact that the vasi majority of Windows users are average types that have no idea what a 'non limited account' even is: And you have a recipe...

Personally, I'm a fan of KDE Neon user edition myself.

Wayland runs fine on Plasma 6 with the exception of flickering at times due to the fact Wayland devs have been dragging their heels merging explicit sync at the request of Nvidia quite some time ago.

A luxury is not a necessity and can be discarded when cost of living expenses are, globally, out of control. For example: Food and shelter are basic human necessities.

I see net neutrality as a good thing, I don't want large multinationals getting bandwidth priority over someone downloading a large file - The net should be neutral. As it is, where I'm located, I notice that of an evening streaming services stream just fine while speedtests highlight that my...

Which is absolutely no different to proprietary code. The facts as they stand highlight that in this case, another pair of eyes, possibly in another part of the globe the malicious actor operated from - found the payload before it was deployed on large scale. Could it have been luck? Possibly...

They seem pretty open to the problem to me, I don't see anything being kept secret in that article.

This is a good pictorial analysis of the attack. Once again, inspecting the source code wouldn't have highlighted any striking problems regarding this attack, as the malicious code was injected at compile time via the makefile and only if you downloaded the tarball - The fact that multiple devs...

This wasn't some seat of your pants attack, this was well orchestrated by someone quite knowledgeable regarding SSH & systemd dependencies - certain technical defenses were even disabled by the insertion of a single dot in an autoconf file. As stated before, you could have audited the source...

With so many eyes pouring over the code, there's no chance a backdoor or malicious actor could be kept secret in the open source community.

Perhaps my search skills are rubbish, but I can't find any such post. Is it possible for you to PM me a link?

That's a bit of an assumption. The reality is: We really have no idea how proprietary software development progresses behind the scenes, or how efficient it is for others to view commit history. Stating it's harder for malicious actors to infiltrate the proprietary software development chain...
