IMO, what if's like that aren't made in good faith. Are basically a strawman to try and drum up controversy. And are rooted in dated socio-political ideas. Fact is "Yasuke" was a real black man, whom served under a Samurai lord. I don't know the full history and particulars. It seems some...

Nice upgrade for someone still rocking AM4! If you are transcoding on the CPU, you should be looking at more cores. And no, the cache doesn't make much a difference for transcoding. A better move would be to pick up an Intel A380 and utilize Intel's latest encoders. There would be no...

Yep, generally a sign of shader comp!

It's probably an artifact of temporal AA. And they also probably didn't spend the time to replace the temporal AA in the rendering pipeline, with whatever upscaler you choose. Instead they just run after the temporal AA. Not uncommon. It would be a fair amount of work to properly integrate 3 or...

Ruipro brand has a really good rep on AVS forums. They also have good support and actually replace cables when needed. And I'm not necessarily a fan, but they sponsor The Display Guy on Youtube. However, they don't seem to have anything certified, over 50 feet. Monoprice also has a good rep, as...

You cropped out what the bars mean (n) The blue bars are whatever he determines are "highlights". And the orange bars are whatever he determines "terrain". And in this specific "test", the LG doesn't do much better. However, in a test pattern, the 10% window brightness is way higher (as...

to POST the motherboard, and then update the bios (via the bios menu) you need a compatible CPU. I am not disputing the existence and utility of features such as bios flashback, which allow you to update the bios with only power to the board.

Right, and that is different from what Jandor and I were talking about.

As far as I know, the bios has to have at least basic compatibility with the current CPU, to boot and update the BIOS. And I think that's partially why we get early beta bios for new CPUs. They aren't really meant to be used in a fully running system. But, enough to get things moving. And...

Hopefully this ends up as some variant of Steam Deck. And to be clear, I still want AMD Steam Decks.

FYI For a "Home" version of Windows, you do not get access to Bitlocker. You get Windows Device Encryption. It will Encrypt all internal drives. No picking and choosing. I'm unclear if it will also encrypt external drives connected at the time you activate device encryption----but it seems like...

No. If you are worried about getting a board which does not have a compatible bios on it when you pull it out of the box, you have two options as a consumer: 1. AMD can send you a dummy CPU 2. buy a board with a feature often called "Bios Flashback" or something similar. With this feature, you...

It all seems to vary based on settings, content, and event the individual TV. There's a C3 at one of my local bestbuys with large mid-screen burn-in, which is visible in most of the content they show on it.
