No, I would search for your motherboard model and forums to see what situations might match yours so that you might glean something useful as far as settings go. A quick check revealed nothing useful that stands out to me. Resetting all electrical connections was the lone useful tip. (The reddit link blocked me, lol. Fine) Perhaps more detailed (or different) search terms would produce better results.

I think you’ve taken the right steps to this point. Another CPU to test with would prove useful (though your original should suffice). Or another board to test this CPU in. Perhaps the shop you procured this one from has one or the other? Otherwise, I would pursue replacement.

What motherboard? What cpu did you have? Is this new Ryzen 5600 on the hardware list for the motherboard? If so, are there any voltage, stepping or other settings (listed in the manual) required to make it run stably?

Make sure the new cpu is clean with no potential shorts from anything. Also ensure good heatsink contact. If you’ve done all the normal and necessary steps then yes it might be a bad cpu, but they aren’t frequent failure items in my experience. Disagreeable conditions for the cpu is more commonly the culprit. Engineering sample cpus are the most fickle, but even some normal batch cpus might sometimes require a bit more (or less) juice or a system tweak.

Drive a screw into it. This is far easier to do with a carpeted floor since the screw head (and hole) is not as noticeable. Be aware not to have any screw heads sticking up anywhere when done. They do also make special screws that will snap the head off once sunk. Thus leaving no major visible trace, but you could use normal screws as long as you got them flush.

Try sinking the screw down on or near a squeaky spot in an attempt to tighten it up. You’ll need that screw to hit a floor joist as well to have something for the floor surface to tighten to. Sink one screw and test. If it didn’t help, back it out and try elsewhere nearby. It helps if you can identify the joist pattern for your floor.

You could also try from below the floor assuming access was available. But in that case, I’d also use caulk/glue from there too to help quite things down.

I would not do anything from above for a finished wood floor. Too easy to mess it up and your landlord would charge you for the damage. It is potentially do-able with finish nails, skill and careful precision (which I lack).

TYVM, Doc!

I keep seeing librewolf mentioned, so I’ve begun making the switch.

Is it possible to copy a profile over so sessions/tabs continue? Just curious. I am a tab hoarder.

And as a direct result of his creation, he was also responsible for the art of blowing dust out of the cartridge so it would boot.

Get more sleep, exercise on the regular and stop eating sugar.

I still don’t get enough sleep, but I am at least getting more than I used to (~7hrs). I exercise regularly, but it isn’t as rigorous as some. Just doing something helps heaps. Cutting out sugar evened out my energy swings a bunch. I also lost a chunk of weight quickly when I did so.

I am no healthologist, but doing the above (and maybe eating better if you are inclined) should get you to feeling better. Worth a shot, no?

Well, I did the same. After a year or so, I checked back in and I think he toned it down (unless I am missing any rant vids that might happen). I still like some of what he does as long as he keeps politics out so I got very selective. I will still watch tool teardown vids or something, but I don’t watch any of his fireside chats as I now know his worldview is skewed in the wrong direction.

Despite that, he is still a very knowledgeable guy so I try and glean what I can that has actual value. That value now is certainly LESS than prior to him unveiling his conservative thoughts.

Keep your dick in a vice.

My family and friends are all shocked by my skills as an electrician.

Regarding Applist, does this copy the app’s data?

I have a game on a phone I’d like to copy to a tablet so progress is not lost. App is in both devices already. Would that work?

Sorry for piggybacking on OP.

Yes, the activity was what I thought of. Thank you for helping to educate me!

That is interesting. Thanks to you and the others.

Does the use of the google play services allow google to sort of…listen in or be privy to your app usage in any way?

Please forgive if this is a stupid question, but what is the difference between the play store version and this? Assuming it is not altered by a bad actor.

I’ve owned several hundreds of drives. No manufacturer is immune. It’s more about the drive model than anything. Enterprise disks are better. Each manufacturer has made crappy drives. Go for the nicer model of whomever you like, beat it to death in its first month. If it survives infant mortality it will last a long time.

All part of the system. Stay healthy, friend!

The system traps you within. Breaking away from it can be a difficult venture and cannot be done completely without some retribution from the system itself. They’ll punish you for it to some degree and people have even been killed over it.

But yes, vanlife (or off-grid living) can liberate you to be potentially happier. At the very least unencumbering oneself from the odious monthly outlay just to live helps a lot. I don’t choose to do this (yet), but have friends that exist this way.

Looks like a mosfet got broken. I am no electro-ologist, but it is probably going to have weird voltages wherever that mosfet serves. Might be okay for a while or maybe not.

If I wanted to save the board, I’d order a replacement from Digikey or elsewhere. Just ID one next to it and order it up. Have a finer tip on the soldering iron and Bob’s your uncle!

I remember an article not long ago about a songbird that “riffs” within its song. Something like a jazz musician might. I’m fuzzy on the details, but this was stated as a sign of intelligence. The theory is that neural density might be variable based on the species…or something. Basically even that a bird brain can be intelligent and capable of some level of free thinking. We all know about crows and their street smarts too.
