RIP KENTARO MIURA
guy worked himself to death, heres snippets from articles in the magazine berserk was published in where he talks about his health:
I came down with a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Thinking about it, I've only had two days off this year. (1993, No. 12)
I've lost five kilos without doing anything. I wonder why? (1993, No.21)
In the past two months, my average sleep time has been less than four hours. Now I'll be Mr. Satonaka soon. (No.23, 1993)
Since I moved, my average sleep time has been less than four hours. I'm going to go gammu. (1994, No.16)
I had a day off for the first time in a month and a half, and when I went out, I got heatstroke! (1995, No. 17)
I went to Okinawa for my first big holiday as a manga artist, and spent two and a half days out of four suffering from heatstroke. (1998, No.19)
My first big holiday as a manga artist was to Okinawa. (No.21, 2002)
My days off are half days every two months. I haven't had two days off in a row for four years. I'm getting tired of it. (No.23, 2004)
I collapsed again from overwork. I missed Gwynn's Hundred Great Books. Ugh! (2005, No.9)
It's the first time in my life that I've come down with a cold twice in one month. (2007, No.5)
I'll be 27 years old in July. Looking back, 27 years full of cartoons, is this what you want? (1993, No. 14)
It's the same every year, but I'm working on Christmas and New Year's Day. I want to eat Osechi once in a while. (1994, No.3)
I had a day off for the first time in a month and a half, and when I went out, I got heatstroke! (1995, No.17)
After a movie, I always go to the Loiho next to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for a review meeting with friends and stay there until the first train leaves. (1996, No.1)
I bought some clothes and shoes for the New Year's party. I only have two pairs of sneakers. (1996, No.2)

Gamers Nexus - Your Dell is better than my Dell..
I asked for a new computer (pandemic start). They ordered me specially in the Tower case, so I could add graphics.
OptiPlex. I7 9700 - great. I was pleased until I opened it.
1. PSU without VGA PCI-E cables (MB with 2 long PCI-E x4 slots)
2. PSU as in the computer presented here - similar to nothing. Normal ATX does not fit due to strange cables and unusual connector on the board.
3. 16GB RAM - one stick (our fault .. but still.. 16 GB and one stick as default..)
4. The same great fan on the processor as yours, similar to the ones I remember in computers 20 years ago.
And one more curiosity - we had a problem with the normal installation of another system from a pendrive, and then with 'simple' reinstalling Windows.
Generally it is what it is .. You can add some HDD/SDD, but if you need something more, it is safer to assemble PC by yourself.

One of the WORST (and best) things Dell has stuffed in lately is an automatic restore function in the BIOS that is triggered if Windows fails to boot 3x. For people aren't tech savvy and lose things like restore flash drives, or whose hard drive dies, I can see this being somewhat useful as it is basically an internet-enabled PXE boot to Dell that downloads the image from scratch.
However, if you're in the enterprise space and use custom images, it's a bloody nightmare. If you don't turn it off before the machine is deployed, it may detect a failure and prompt a n00b user to reimage their drive, not only blowing away your company's image, but very likely losing the user's data.

11:50 RAID is the CORRECT selection, otherwise the Intel RST only operates in AHCI mode, including the NVME drives. This option appears on laptops that ONLY have NVME drives in them as well. Good luck installing a new OS if you change this option, as RAID mode is the only time the RST is active, and if you try to rescue your OS and have switched this, you won't be able to boot the OS without switching it back.
The RAID RST F6 driver is how Intel bypasses the AHCI emulation of NVMe drives. There is a performance consideration here, and you really should be testing it before you dismiss it.

So Dell (still) is
- ripping you off as a customer by trying to sell you services you don't want or need
- building systems in a way that makes it very hard to use parts of it in other systems or using standard parts to upgrade that system and thus willingly creating more e-waste
- intentionally limiting features your hardware supports with their terrible custom BIOS
- overloading their systems with junk software that slows down their systems to a crawl
Dell should be paying customers that have to use their systems, not the other way around.

I genuinely think the big OEMs like dell had a big influence on the decline of the PC market about a decade ago. (Granted it's since recovered). Vast numbers of people buy these junk computers, have bad performance, bad support, and a generally all around bad experience. Those bad experiences will have had an affect on people future buying choices, I'll get a console instead, as it works as it should . It really is a joke that these companies can continue making such awful products, and still exist.

My friend would recommend me Dell stuff for people who ask me about buying a PC that know jack-all about it.
Citing they have great customer service .
It seems like they've never changed, still pack it with bloat, still try and sell proprietary parts which- I can't help them with if they ask for help, and Dell probably will overcharge them.
So, years of being told this and seeing things haven't changed I'm back to thinking my friend is talking out of his bloatware ridden ad-space.

My friend bought a Alienware M17 R2 a while back, and then a 512GB Gigabyte SSD and called me in to install it for him. We couldn't get it to work for hours. If it wasn't for him accidentally mentioning that he asked NOT to enable RAID mode (because there was only one SSD in his config) during purchase, I wouldn't have thought about checking the bios for AHCI. When I went in, surprise surprise, RAID was enabled. Do they actually do this kind of shit on purpose?

I reinstalled windows on my dell laptop because I didn't want all that crap slowing me down. But then I started getting mysterious hardware faults...
I contacted dell and they said that now that I've reinstalled windows I broke warranty (??) And that they can't help.
But then I reinstalled the dell support assistant, maxxon audio thing and... The MS office demo (?????) And then it worked! No more hardware issues.
Dell is a scammer.

11:12, 100% true lol, i have an Optiplex 780 SFF with a Core2Duo in my workshop and it's bios looks identical.
- Disclaimer: i bought this PC 2nd Hand in 2013 for 90 for the purpose of playing music, show PDF Manuals and feed Data to my 3D Printer, it's a Turd but it works (added a 120GB SSD and a GT710 over the years) For that purpose it's really good considering what it cost me.
