Defective Ryzen processors: Asrock tweaks the BIOS again
A BIOS update for Asrock boards limits the current in Precision Boost Overdrive overclocking mode so that Ryzen 9000 CPUs are no longer damaged.
Defekte Ryzen-Prozessoren: Asrock schraubt erneut am BIOS
Ein BIOS-Update für Asrock-Boards begrenzt die Stromstärke im Übertaktermodus Precision Boost Overdrive, sodass Ryzen-9000-CPUs keinen Schaden mehr nehmen.

Opti-PC 2023 mit 256 GByte RAM
Ich brauche für meine Anwendungen viel RAM und nachdem nun DDR5-Module mit 64 GByte Kapazität verfügbar sind, würde ich gern meinen Opti-PC aufrüsten. Geht das?
I finally cracked the problem with gaps between characters.
Turns out any characters in columns C and D are rendered as "graphics" (without a gap) and all others as text (with 1px space between each).
After reorganizing my sprites so logo and UI occupies those columns make them work on any EGA/VGA text mode!
This is some black magic knowledge ;)
Intel Raptor Lake: Another microcode update against excessive CPU core voltages
The stability problems with Core i-13000 and i-14000 series processors are once again keeping Intel busy. A further microcode update should solve the problem.
Intel Raptor Lake: Erneutes Microcode-Update gegen zu hohe CPU-Kernspannungen
Die Stabilitätsprobleme bei Prozessoren der Serien Core i-13000 und i-14000 beschäftigen Intel abermalig. Ein weiteres Microcode-Update soll das Problem lösen.
BIOSissa tiukkaa, mutta asiallista tekstiä Ville Lähteeltä:
"On äärimmäisen tärkeää ymmärtää, että jos globaalisti ei päästä nettonollaan, kaikki ilmastonmuutoksen hillintätoimet valuvat lopulta tyhjiin."
"Ei ole sellaista ilmastonmuutoksen onnistuneesti hillinnyttä tulevaisuuden maailmaa, jossa Suomi on voinut vapaamatkustaa tai jättää osan päästöistä ennalleen sillä perusteella, että se saa aikaan hyvää “kädenjälkeä” viemillään tuotteilla tai teknologioilla."
"Kertyvän ongelman äärellä hidastelu kuitenkin tarkoittaa epäonnistumista."

Libreboot 25.04 "Corny Calamity" open-source boot firmware debuts with a new YY.MM versioning scheme, broad distro support, and more.

@itsfoss recent #Lenovo #Thinkpad #Laptop like T14 Gen 5 has pretty decent #repairability score:
https://www.ifixit.com/repairability/laptop-repairability-scores
Not as good as #framework but it is still good to have alternatives.
Be aware of proprietary binary blobs in #firmware and #bios hence I can recommend to also have a look here for other great #laptops:

200S Boost: Intel releases overclocking profile with warranty
A profile in the BIOS should improve the performance of the Core Ultra 200K. To do this, Intel adjusts the internal CPU clock frequencies, among other things.
200S Boost: Intel gibt Übertakterprofil mit Garantie frei
Ein Profil im BIOS soll die Performance der Core Ultra 200K verbessern. Dafür dreht Intel unter anderem an den internen CPU-Taktfrequenzen.
I have an old #asus where the #pciex16 obviously died.
Any graphics card I put into the #pciex16 slot makes it crash and prevents it from booting. I also do not get any graphics output at all at boot.
However, I can access the pc #headless via #ssh . It has #ubuntu server installed.
Is there any chance to connect this to any modern monitor having D-SUB, so that I can at least access the #bios or set up something non-headless ?
It has a 350 W power supply, so that is probably not the issue.
TL;DR: #GRUB assumes that the file system is valid, and might execute arbitrary code if it isn't.
That is a perfectly valid assumption…or it would be if #Microsoft wasn't still trying to ice-skate uphill by pushing #SecureBoot.
News flash, Microsoft: Secure Boot is only secure if the #BIOS is secure, and I'm sorry to break it to you but that is absolutely hopeless.
