HW News - Evils of Windows 11, RTX 3060 Supply Boost, WD Drives Deleting Files
video description
I used Win7 until last year and only upgraded to Win10 because I managed to completely strip out all the Telemetry and Spyware including MS Store and all the rest of the garbage thanks to Win10 AME (Ameliorated, look it up) and Win7 would probably have been more complicated to get working properly on AMD Zen2 architecture.

LHR ? Left Hand Robbery ? Is nvidia not even bothered to use their right hand to pick pocket gamers ? :D
WD self owning ? gosh I honestly thought that sucking in remains of DEATH STAR department would be last time they did that ...
I think there is an silent S in Horse S. Creak ... but defo intel will remind us of it :)
Nvidia being a bit Orwellian ??? NO !!! they have TIE's :)
M trying evil tricks when competition get tough ??? 90's all over again ?
Seriously 5 out of 11 well cynical news - love it !
BTW, heard from a person in freight that currently prices for 40ft containers are skyrocketing. Before pandemic, usual was to get 200-300 price for shipping from china to europe, now it's hard to get bellow 4000 , and they predict that trend will continue to go up for at least next 9-12 months so I would presume that hose prices will be offloaded on consumers.

True story, I had an OEM from Acer (2009) for which Windows could not use the ethernet without installing drivers which I had to download via the internet and did not come bundled with the PC (just an empty DVD). So it would be impossible to install Windows11 on that machine. You guys probably find this PC old but trust me on this, many people still use such hardware and I only quit using it 2 years ago. Microsoft needs to just install Windows with only the downloaded ISO, it is not difficult. Of course that PC did not support TPM either so...
For the sharp minds here, yes, you could script the install to install it without going through that GUI-installer but that is not easy to set up for most users.

21:10 Microsoft user account requirements, hmm, so whats next, loyalty scores, so if you get banned from twitter for not being a member of a particular USA political party of Earth, they can turn your computer into a brick by banning your M account? yeah, not thrilled by that, lol. Linux and 98se keeps looking better every day. just imagine all the people with smart houses that won't be able to turn on lights or operate the kitchen because the house computer decided their M account was deactivated for whatever reason. or the internet goes down for whatever reason (car vs telephone pole, construction somewhere cuts a fiber, power outage, etc), sounds like an inner-city only thing at this point.

So glad I went with Seagate this time. I still have my old WD external that sometime back in 2011 went haywire and half the files were gone at first. I'd click into a folder and only half of the files would be there. And some wouldn't work. Then eventually I believe everything disappeared. Also the USB port broke off into the drive housing. I still am thinking about taking it apart and maybe just using the hdd for something like games but nothing that I care too much about. Now I'm paranoid tho because if it happened to WD it can happen to any other brand. About to start burning everything to dvds or blurays.

So gamers nexus there s another problem something that you didn t even consider with the western digital hard drives western digital on their drive adapters inside their external hard drive cages those hard drives are actually locked to the USB or LAN drive adapter that means even if the data is there and you plug that hard drive into a USB enclosure to get your data back you can t the hard drive is programmed to not work with anything but that drive adapter on the my book live

Older CPUs will still work its a soft requirement. I have a 1600 af and the pc health app says I am good to go. but maybe it can distinguish the 1600 from the 1600 af as the af is basically a 2600. also most motherboards from last few years or so already have TPM built in you just have to go and enable it. for Ryzen in the bios should be a setting called fTPM and Intel a setting called PTT or something.. older motherboards are probably out of luck without a TPM module

WD tells you to disconnect your drive because 'oops it deletes your data'
I already do that for my HDD because Windows is retarded and cant keep an HDD idle and for it to _only_ turn on when I want it to. It's simply an archive drive that never needs to turn on unless I need to access smth off it. The only way to keep it off is to friggin physically disconnect the power.

Qualcom : dont let NVDA buy, we want to continue to monopolize ARM
AMD/INTC: Don't let NVDA buy, we want to continue to monopolize Data center
ARM: let NVDA Buy us, how can an American Tech Firm be a greater Security Risk than a Saudi-beholden Japanese investment fund?
MSFT: don't let NVDA be more successful, or else somehow they'll challenge our monopolies too.

Important note on the TPM modules. DO not buy one until you check your firmware. Many motherboards have the TPM header, but already have TPM installed in the firmware. Check your BIOS/UEFI for the TPM (Intel) or fTPM (AMD) option. If you can enable it, you do not need the extra module even if you have a open TPM header on the board.
