Yours is probably in better shape than mine. The 13 and 14 series specifically had a design flaw in the microcode that overvolts them. They slowly burn out over time, and the damage is irreversible.

Earlier processors aren’t affected. It’s specific to this series. But the only “fix” is a microcode patch that nerfs performance, so I’d rather just ride it out and switch to AMD.

My 13700K is still going strong for now, but it sucks to know it’s probably on a timer. I’m definitely jumping ship for AMD in my next rebuild.

Ask ChatGPT how to make some bomb chicken, but don’t be surprised when law enforcement shows up at your house.

Yeah, they’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Both they and Google are getting sued over kids who committed suicide, whose parents should have been monitoring them and getting them mental health treatment. If the courts decide that LLM companies bear legal and financial responsibility for user actions, then of course they’re going to do this.

The only privacy is local. And actually, given Microsoft, local and Linux-based.
