The topic came up a while ago in a thread on L1T and it was basically confirmed that a) fast boot doesnât improve boot times with Ryzen and b) people with Intel CPUs have faster boot times comparatively.

canât really say Iâve noticed when I moved from my i5 4690k to my 1700 though I always disabled that fast boot feature since it messed with how the drive worked on Linux and locked it readonly.

You know I kinda forgot the new season of His Dark Materials was airingâŠ
Which I mean Iâve been busy with studying and writing. I spend a good bit of my free time thinking on what to write next after I finish writing.
Saw the first season. It was great. Have caught up to what has aired for Season 2 so far. Also great. If you dug the books, do recommend the showâŠ
Just one weird problem - HBO has an audio streaming issue just on this show. On Blu ray that isnât an issue just be aware you will notice it when you stream it with their services.
Really weird show I can talk about but itâs weird:
Raised by Wolves⊠Itâs weird. Like really weird. Like sudo science and sudo religion weird. But I like it for some odd reason. Soundtrack is solid. The show does have a problem that my favorite characters are not the humans⊠except one. One of them I like. The rest though nope. The Androids are pretty interesting in their own way. There is heavy symbolism going on, foreshadowing, prophecies, and other things. This show is a bit heavy and I can talk about it about but itâd sound like madness if you hadnât seen the show.
It is getting a 2nd season and Iâm really curious as to were it goes.

bios also matter for boot times unless your counting from when windows logo shows up til when its on which case mine is fast af boi(and not just cause it never shows windows logo lol, is like 15 seconds or something like that from ghetto m.2 sata) but have heard some versions of early bios had like 30seconds just to post
Asus replaced it on my mobo so I get the Asus logo instead. WhichâŠkinda bugs me? The Windows boot logo is part of the OS so why did Asus inject theirs without assigned admin privileges?
Seven: Enhanced Edition is free on Humble for the next ~26h but you have to link your GoG account to redeem it.

mine has a setting buried in the bios to enable/disable it which was enabled by default
Asus has put in this shitty feature in the bios that prompts the installation of their shitty utility software. So before installing Windows for the first time you better disable that in the bios or else they install it along with Windows which is shady af imo.
There is a word for that. Malware

Do you mean when boot Windows and it shows the manufactures logo and the spinning circle thing? because the logo is coming from the UEFI and its just part of boot process and the logo its self isnât in the Windows install at all. It even does it on the OVMF UEFI firmware when it boots.

ye looks like it has something todo with the BGRT (Boot Graphics Resource Table) and if its enabled windows doesnât refresh the screen to show the Windows Logo.
found this quote on the tinanocore edk2 github page about it:
Note from Laszlo Ersek [email protected]: without the BGRT ACPI table,
Windows 8 and Windows 10 first clear the screen, then display a blue,
slanted Windows picture above the rotating white boot animation. With the
BGRT ACPI table, Windows 8 and Windows 10 donât clear the screen, the blue
Windows image is not displayed, and the rotating white boot animation is
shown between the firmwareâs original TianoCore boot splash and (optional)
âStart boot optionâ progress bar.

Do you enjoy learning? Ever been curious about if you own a digital book you bought? Wanted to know about the legal precedents and laws?
Have I got a podcast for you from the EFF about this:

Without listening to this podcast Iâd say no. Or maybe, depending on the country (similar to warranties).
I guess itâs the same as with music and video (not sure about games). You donât own it. You only acquire a license that allows you to watch the movie/listen to the music. âBack in the dayâ this required a physical copy of it which you didnât own. But because this has been conveyed so poorly to the customers, people assume they own the physical media they buy.
Weirdly enough, I never heard anything like this about physical books.
Itâs kinda confusing, though.
Iâll listen to the podcast tomorrow. Itâs already 4am again.
