  • The batteries are my main issue.

    12 hour battery? I charge every night.

    4 day battery life? I forget to charge until it dies, and then it dies in the middle of using it.

    The mouse I have is only wireless for the “less drag while gaming” aspect but the cable is actually super nice, so I dont even mind the cable… I just leave it plugged in now.


  • I use ethernet for everything, so even now I don’t use WiFi. I only figured out it worked because my internet was out a few months later and needed to connect to a hotspot, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not crashing. I also don’t really mess with RGB or bluetooth, so I cant really comment on those either. The motherboard itself always worked, it was just the integrated chips (it was new wifi 7 chip) that I wasn’t actually using anyway. It may have been fixed in days, weeks… who knows, I wasnt testing it.

    tl;dr - sorry, I don’t have a good answer. The board always “worked” for my use case.










  • The strong irony is that when high core count and asymmetrical multi-CCD chips started rolling out, they were having CCD pinning issues in windows. But since Linux has a scheduler that has been NUMA awareness for ages… Linux was actually just fine with these things.

    Linux was actually better for bleeding edge hardware for once.


  • Those fancy textured clumps of frosting that make up the “trim” of a cake are usually dried out by the time you get to eating the cake. Just not good.

    But the question is whether you want to choose based on flavor, texture, or appearance. If you want a pink princess cake from the bottom right. Get that. If you want cheesecake because that’s your favorite, get that. Like sprinkles? Do that. Dislike sprinkles because texture? Skip them!

    Pick what makes you happy.

    I personally would go with the cheesecake or the top middle cake, I think. But I’d skip the clumps on top of the middle cake.


  • I built a new 9950x3d + x870e system last year. trying to use the motherboard’s wifi would kernel panic things. couldnt turn bluetooth on and off. couldn’t control the RGB.

    Now, WiFi works great. Bluetooth works great. OpenRGB supports the RGB. Things are great. Took time to get here, but we got here.







  • I also have a preview edition.

    I moved HA from my server to a HA green to separate reliability (my server is a test bed and uptime isnt great, and home automation warrants better uptime than I was giving it).

    The voice services don’t work as well on the green directly, but I view it as part of the HA ecosystem and I want it running on the same hardware, but it seems very much like not a great option for that. And even on my own hardware, it still seems like it was a bit slower than I’d want and not always accurate. I definitely need a lot of tweaking (just like OP) to make it worth while.
