So you're telling me a technology Youtuber ends up naked enough on camera for his team to have a go-to editor for when the boss is nude?

To get off Linus' dick, here's Steve raging about motherboard pricing in search of an error code display. A feature I've not thought about in 20 years of PC building. This one feels a bit more like Steve raging about aesthetics than any actual point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEjH775UeNg

Error code displays are extremely helpful when you actually run into a problem with CPU or RAM compatibility, because the only other ways to show that info are beeps or flashes (or nothing at all) I think I paid more like $250-300 for my last mobo that had one, though

This one feels a bit more like Steve raging about aesthetics than any actual point. Steve has a very clear point and he reiterates it a lot: it's a useful, basic tool for fixing problems with a system, it costs $1.50, and he has been repeatedly told by motherboard designers that the only way sales/marketing teams at motherboard manufacturers will agree to include one going forward on lower priced boards is if there's public outcry. so he admits he's using his position as a member of the media to agitate and hopefully start a push for people to demand error code displays on most/all motherboards going forward for DIY. that's a pretty standard steve/gamersnexus stance. it's a "rant" because it's relatively unstructured but he definitely has a point and imo a valid one.

while we're at it, can we please get manufacturers to stop gatekeeping GPU quick release latches and easy m.2 latches behind $300+ price points? They're extremely simple plastic mechanisms that cost pennies to make.

i literally remove my cpu heatsink and repaste it when i'm removing my gpu from now on. i'm not sure the release latch has gotten worse over time, but it's never not a terrible experience to try to hit it

Like obviously I don't have to do it all that often but whenever I do it's a memorable situation because it'd be easy for a screwdriver or chopstick to slip and damage the motherboard.

Tiny Timbs posted:If I pay more than $300 can I get a GPU latch that I don't have to use a chopstick to release from 12" away? they just extend the latch out a bit and connect it to a button you can press:  asus' cheapest x670 motherboard with this feature is $350. Though they have a couple B650 boards with it at around $300. gigabyte's cheapest boards don't have the button, but the latch on those has a little extended bit that is slightly easier to push. you have to pay $500 for the x670e aorus master to get the full convenience of a sensibly-placed button from them meanwhile, asrock and msi have yet to discover the technology of longer levers, so none of their boards have this.

I hate those pcie release levers so much. Always such a bitch to get at. Could we also make heatsinks that don’t have razor sharp edges too? I scraped my hand pretty good on a noctua the other day. I get that it’s better for heat dissipation but come on if I am trying to fit my mitts in a mATX case it’s hard to not get sliced up.

A lot already do something like that with a single or row of simple LEDs. Basic displays are much more useful.

Having to read a loving addressable RGB in order to decode an error sounds like reading loving tea leaves in terms of how much room there is for interpretation. Error codes on a seven segment display don't leave any ambiguity.

Just have mobos come with a secondary SoC built in that gives it enough to output to video and display error codes and troubleshooting steps. Or better yet have the mono tether to a separate IoT device that talks back the error code but also allows you to ask about the weather.

I seem to remember a motherboard where the speaker would play a voice that would tell you what was wrong. The next step is siri integration.

It's out-of-band management - usually via a baseboard management controller, which is most commonly a MIPS/ARM/RISC-V CPU running at a few hundred MHz with some variant of Linux or an RTOS running on it. IPMI is a specific implementation that allows a common way for baseboard management controllers to be addressed - either via a driver in the OS, via serial over LAN, or via ssh. It can be, and is, implemented by various vendors such as Intel (via AMT/vPro), HPE (via iLO), Dell (via iDRAC), Supermicro (via Intelligent Management), and others, using either their own chips or one supplied by ASPEED. There is a third-party out-of-band management solution called pikvm, which can be used for any arbitrary system that has a video and USB, and it also supports IPMI (if enabled).
