  2. The consumer GPU market isn't in crisis; it's in an undeclared "End of Life" phase. NVIDIA is deliberately starving the AIB supply chain (partners like MSI and Asus) to divert all of TSMC's silicon to AI chips for data centers, where margins are obscene.

    MSI just declared 2026 will be a supply nightmare and is cutting production. They're closing the ecosystem. PC gaming and independent builders have become a nuisance for Jensen Huang's balance sheets.

    I'm compiling logs and market data for a complete autopsy of this commercial architecture. I'll post the full video on my channel. The era of x86 and affordable consumer hardware is coming to an end under the blows of the CUDA monopoly.

  7. Well my Gigabyte Z890 AERO G Motherboard has a bad CPU Socket.🙁
    One Pin is just a little off & that is making RAM slot B2 not work right.
    The system does work on slot A2 so I was able to test out both RAM sticks 1 by 1 at full speed via memtest86+, all tested out good. I also booted 3 Linux distro's all fine.
    So the board is going back to amazon as I'm within my 30-days.
    Good news is price for that board has gone down so $40 back to me😃

  11. I've updated my Arduino RGB controller:
    - color transitions are now much smoother
    - I can now control the maximum color intensity
    - The ambient light when my PC is turned off is now much dimmer

  15. I have begun building EdiE, the new PC I used to describe as diesel-punk, and have no admitted its more mid-century retro-futuristic, if you care about such design details.
    I have updates and failures to share!

  19. Oh my goodies all came in today😁

    For a Motherboard we got: "Gigabyte Z890 AERO G ATX LGA1851"
    This is the only Z890 with this PCIe slot layout & just so happens to be white.
    The WiFi in it is useless to me, thanks to Intel. So I will disable it in Bios.

    As for the Case: "Fractal Design Pop XL Air ATX Full Tower" good case & fits in the space I plan to put it.

    Because Monday is a Holiday 🥳️#420day🥳️
    I will start this build Tuesday.

  23. The hardware market isn't just broken; it's infected.

    Right now on Amazon, there's a fake "RTX 5080 FE" listed for €1,499.99.
    The product photo? Literally a piece of cardboard thrown on the floor.
    The part number in the description? It belongs to an RTX 5090.

    This is the absolute collapse of retail moderation. Billion-dollar platforms are outsourcing their security to mindless bots, letting scammers freely feast on people's FOMO and desperation. We've hit rock bottom.

    Keep your eyes open and stop clicking "Buy Now" blindly.

  24. 🚨 Zeit für Freiheit – Windows raus, Linux rein!

    Es ist der 4. Digital Independence Day und da ich mir einen "neuen" Laptop gekauft habe, wird direkt Windows platt gemacht und Linux drauf installiert.

    Das geht ziemlich easy:

    - Rufus im Microsoft Store holen
    - CachyOS (Linux) auf einen USB-Stick installieren
    - Vom USB-Stick booten und Linux installieren

    Hier das passende Video:

  25. alright. since I am using my home server more seriously, it desperately needed a ram upgrade. the original 8GB (2x4) are falling short...

    also, I originally got the computer with a gtx560ti GPU, which linux kernel 6.5x (or so) no longer supports. given that I am running jellyfin, that means i haven't been able to use hardware transcoding.

    that ends today.

    i just finished installing 32GB (4x8) RAM, and a RTX4060 GPU. bear in mind that the mobo is Sandy Bridge based, so there's a limit on which hardware I am able to use, yet for a home server it should get the job done.

  30. It astonished me that there exist no 32 or 32 inch curved OLED 2560x1440 ("2.5K") displays being manufactured -- at all.

    All of that size and curvature are 4K in resolution.

    I don't want to use 4K (or pay for such a display); it's 2.25x as many pixels and it's not nearly worth the huge extra load on the GPU, in my opinion -- and I have an RTX 5080.

    Hopefully one will eventually emerge, but we will probably be seeing 8K versions of the aforementioned first. 🙄
