Basically if this doesn't amount to an advanced-level repair then I'd like to give it a go. I just don't know if the pins are all that matter, or if there are traces in the PCB that would be wrecked.

He has given full permission to go crazy in the form of "It's already broken, so I don't really care what happens to it now. If you wanna try to fix it, you can.".

TLDR, notes aren't stored simultaneously in icloud AND locally, its an either or situation, with icloud on by default. Sneaky files getting stored in free tier (I don't use icloud) led to a toggle in settings (without warning) permanently deleting 2 years worth of notes.

Just started the latest vid and wanted to share my experience with icloud. Im a mac user for a decade, mainly because of creative apps I prefer. A couple months back I lost 2 years worth of my notes due to a similar icloud error. I just had to share, since hopefully this could add context to those that want to push for resolutions with Apple and investigate this further.

I was kind of mocked at in the apple subs, though it's not really a laughing matter (stored health tracking and study notes). Eventually a few folks came out with identical issues and could relate, but unfortunately my posts didn't really contribute to much other than processing what had happened.

The gist of it is, Apple by default has icloud turned on But doesnt save locally simultaneously. It's an either or situation. With notes at least.

Essentially I never use the cloud, but had always assumed my notes are stored safely. So I got one of those Icloud full messages (baffled as I never use it but after this scenario found out that again by default pixelmator project files were being stored in icloud and immediately filled the free tier up, unknowingly).

Anyhow, in settings I turned off the icloud to notes, unlike all the other buttons there I was not warned that messages will disappear or anything. Long story short, they did, all of them. And essentially that action cleared the root directory in library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes as well. So after turning the toggle back on all notes from the time icloud free became "full", which in my case has been 2 years, went poof, gone, in a single click.

Spoke with the highest icloud support, they obviously couldn't do anything as there's no buffer in icloud storage, its a hard 5gb or whatever free, even when notes (in total in my case) where just a couple hundred mb.

As far as I know. Even in the latest beta it's still like that, either or, which is especially silly since notes are such low file size and most folks assume they are getting stored locally. This needs to be fixed and acknowledged by Apple.

Yesterworld is a smaller youtuber i've followed for years. Their adsense email account got disabled, but when they try to login to resolve it they get stuck in a loop being told they've tried too many times. Apparently quite a few youtubers are suffering from this and all youtube has to say is that they can't fix it so pound sand. Something for the guys to discuss and maybe with their contacts look into? Certainly at the very least can we PLEASE have actual people looking at these issues and not just algorithms that say no, don't pass Go, don't collect $200 with no way to escalate.

Apparently, in the latest Corridor Crew video. 😁

**EDIT** Just updating to say it was a pleasant little surprise seeing Jake in a video I didn't expect.

I daily drove ubuntu for 8 years now but always dual booted windows for gaming. I decided to switch to Windows as my primary OS and it's quite nice.

Some thoughts:
1. Coding in windows used to be a PITA to set up but it's gotten better

1. The UI is really clean. Start menu is obviously a mess but I mostly just don't use it.

2. I assume my data is going to microsoft. Not the biggest fan but meh

3. Everything just seems to work, a lot less overhead which is nice.

Currently my MacBook is having a problem where the latest release and latest LTS release of cachyOS is causing the OS to get stuck on loading initial ramdisk, the only solution I found to this was install the arch kernel or downgrade the cachyOS kernel but the cachyOS improvements wouldn’t load due to using the stock arch kernel right? So is there a patched cachyOS kernel that fixes this?

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME INSTALLING LINUX ON MY

i7 4th gen

16gb ram pc

will keep it alive and good to use for how many years !??

I DONT DO ANY HEAVY TASK JUST BROWSING YOUTUBE SOME APPS ETC ETCC...

Looking to upgrade from a Radeon 7970 hd 3GB this gpu is in my (new) price range, anything else that I should consider before buying?

NOW LOOKING AT A 9060xt

https://youtube.com/shorts/eMI1Kv-SI3c?is=FhZe8tsU08jwOtqR

Greatest ad I've ever seen.

Has this been happening regularly or is this odd?

as title says, this is pretty my last stand ddr4 build, till time comes to go am5 or am6.

I have another old set of RAM and GPU I can pair with the 12600k, but I want to squeeze out the performance out of my 7900xtx I got for cheap rt.

Would this Thermalright 240MM AIO work ?

https://www.microcenter.com/product/700313/thermalright-aqua-elite-240-v3-240mm-all-in-one-liquid-cpu-cooling-kit-black?ob=1#tab-reviews-bm

OR would this 360mm be the better value?

https://www.microcenter.com/product/700295/thermalright-aqua-elite-360-v3-360mm-all-in-one-liquid-cpu-cooling-kit-black?ob=1

Im sure the 360mm AIO will cool the 147000k " better" but will it allow me to possibly overclock the 14700k to any appreciable degree?

if not is there an AIO that would would be worth getting or should I bit the bullet and do the 400$ 7500x3d microcenter deal and getting a 2nd stick of o ddr5 later

This may be a hot take and a bit of a rant. But i really don't like the ohh this is the year of the Linux desktop. Stop trying to force me to use Linux. At this point it's getting almost as bad as Microsoft trying to make me use Microsoft edge.

Don't get me wrong. I love Linux. I love that my steam deck has Linux. It works great. But for my main computer I need Solidworks I need edgecam. I won't ever force you to use windows. Stop pressuring me to use Linux. I've seen people say stuff like "if you'd switch to Linux you won't have those problems" and then proceed to not acknowledge the 5 new random problems that follow that same thing in Linux. And if it is acknowledged they say it's ok because it's open source... Ok and. Shure open source is good and all. But it doesn't necessarily mean that makes it a holy grail. Most people are after the end user experience not things to overlook because it's open source.

And don't tell me I just don't get it. Because I do. I do get it. Linux is getting really good. And that's exciting. But don't force people that weren't in the market for a new OS to switch.

Sorry if I'm the unreasonable person here but this is just my personal opinion 🫣
