That is a wide selection of games. I don’t want any but thank you for giving them away

Sure, put your 2600 back in and then flash it to the last one, but do a test boot with 2600 of the lasted bios to verify that the board is still good and boots to desktop on the latest version, and then put in your 5700x3D. If it boots, you got it, if it doesn’t boot to desktop with the latest bios then you know it wlll never work

You should go to a few countries and see how the world operates. Stores can include all taxes in the quoted price upfront before the sale, as many countries embed the taxes in the price shown publicly, and then the store takes privacy coin payment like monero, and if the store does not record a few sales to skip on taxes since there’s no payment account tied to company name, even better

Uh oh, I looked at MSI page for your board, and there’s no support for 5000. The parts for that motherboard must be too cheap to comply with AMD’s hardware requirements for motherboard manufacturers. You can’t use your 5700x3D without buying a better or newer motherboard. If you buy a B550 you could flash BIOS and use 5700. Either sell your 5700x3D or buy a better motherboard since there’s no support for 5000

Stores should accept monero to eliminate paying taxes

Due to the fact that Taler is designed for government to see all income means it’s not an option. Is there any privately owned company anywhere in the world that uses Taler?

Given government’s attitude that all money everywhere belong’s to the government, they only decide on how much to let the worthless servants get to use, I’m good with tax evasion. When I carry cash at stores, it’s fine if they don’t report the income. Government is very good at taking money by force, but not as interested to pay for anything. It is in store’s best interest to accept privacy coins like Monero or Zcash before using something like Taler

If you put 2600 back in, update BIOS, please post an update on how it goes.

In the description f the BIOS version, it will say something like “Support new Ryzen 5000 CPU”, that’s what you want before puting 5700 back in motherboard, but I suggest going to last version of BIOS that you can flash so you can be done permanently from flashing anything since there’s no more support for AM4 platform, maybe only the odd fix

Video of how to update MSI BIOS here

Use Win 11 LTSC, unplug ethernet, select do not have internet, it will ask you to create a local account

Excellent upgrade!! 😃 That’s wonderful you got the new CPU, you will notice a differencein spped in everything immediately!

Take out the 5700x3D, put 2600 back in and repaste heatsink. Turn on computer flash BIOS to the last version available for B450 Carbon AC. Read BIOS revisions notes to see if any say do not skip ahead until flashing this version of BIOS because if say version 103 says do not jump to lastest before updating to this version but you only flash version 110, there will be a problem with motherboard because info in BIOS is missing so board can’t boot normally.

But if you flash version 103, wait for it to finish, reboot, flash version 110, wait for it to finish, reboot, wait for desktop, then you should be 100% good for board to boot 5700x3D. Those version numbers are made up examples, don’t go looking for those BIOS version numbers on the MSI page

Yes, for giving contacts each other’s Briar info. That’s one f the reasons that I say that SimpleX can never be a total replacement for Signal. People on here push SimpleX hard for privacy and total anonymity and I agree with them, and there’s been a few made up fantasies about the people who run Signal, but I see no way to ditch Signal and only have SimpleX and nothing else.

I do discourage Matrix/Element and suggest XMPP instead

Since Briar can scan each other’s QR code to add a contact, why do you say using the same name with different people make it more trustworthy when you ID can then be recorded or tracked and start to form a web of linking contacts together of who knows who?

But who you message on Matrix has your activity as part of receieved messages

I appreciate how light the Briar app is compared to SimpleX. I like the buetooth connectivity to exchange messages without an internet connection, I’ve used the bluetooth connection before. I strongly dislike that Briar uses the same ID with everywhere contact, but I can live with it. SimpleX can generate new ID for each new contact that you send a message so that you never appear the same with any 2 users.

All Matrix activity is recorded permanently on servers. Yes, encrypted, but maintain a permanent copy.

If that were true, speaking with strangers in public places would not contradict fediverse postings. It seems that being outside talking with strangers face to face closers aligns, but not identical, to what’s on Twitter than every single fediverse service. If you can’t be friends with someone who doesn’t accept what you believe but has other interests away from the internet, not being online, that is lack of intellectual curiosity. Someone, I’m not suggesting you, who can’t spend an afternoon with people without checking phone for new messages lives in misery 10 out of 10 times.

I’m not against Godlike for existing, I don’t know who’s using it. Is it only overclockers who use liquid nitrogen for cooling?

Find one single instance where users are free to reject or critcize religion, reject trans people, criticize conservatives, and criticize leftists, all on a single instance.

I’m all for individual users block who they want. In fact I emcourage it so users onlyvsee what they want. But when server admins defederate and divide the service into sections, users have no say anymore and will have to user mutiple accounts simultaneously across different servers to check posts. The line about telling people to start their own server is a cop out to avoid tue fractoring and censorship, but then to try to promote fediverse as an alternative to th bg names, that’s all a lie and a conjob when severs run by infants block users talking to adults who do not react emotionally to reading words on a screen. In stead, the fediverse seems to be only for people who have identical opinions on every subject and every contrary view gets dogpiled in an attempt to beat into submittiom.

I can say something about people who live a certain lifestyle and have my account deleted. Others can say the exact opposite as me and they get praise and posting gets promoted. It makes the fediverse look like a cult of freakshows who are terrrified to go out to public places and debate people in the street, but come on here to escape humans who don’t agree where everybody conforms to a specific view and everything else is deleted or banned. Given the way fediverse people complain about Twitter, a pattern emerges that their complaints is the fact the Twitter allows opinions that they can’t tolerate so they stay in fediverse where they are protected from reading words. Those people will never achieve much for jobs or careers where co-workers can express offensive or insulting views and the company can’t do anything because they can’t fire someone for an opinion, so they will have to wok with people who don’t support their views or reject their beliefs. How will people on here ever handle having children when their own kids can grow up to reject their views but have to maintain a close relationship despite their child’s disapproval of what they believe?

No, I don’t go on there
