TL;DR: 13th and 14th gen CPUs are mostly safe. Use the newest BIOS update for the motherboard you're buying and use the defaults. The entire situation seems to be a mixture of motherboard vendors pushing power to the absolute limit, poor microcode leading problems with boosting, variable quality control and management weirdness, alongside workloads being weird themselves.

I have been pwned in a data breach from The Internet Archive. Data was usernames, emails and passwords. If you have an account there, might good to check if everything is fine.
In related news, some clown group on Twitter are such anti-social Twitter brainrot retards that they decide to DDOS The Internet Archive because the US government owns them and they enable Israel, expect the archive is ran by a non-profit, not the US government. Twitter retards being Twitter retards.

New Intel CPUs launching on October 24th, 2024. This gen is named Arrow Lake and it will have a new naming scheme.
Intel Core i9-14900K -> Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
Intel Core i7-14700K -> Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
Intel Core i5-14500K -> Intel Core Ultra 5 245K
Intel is doing what AMD did with Zen5: lay out the groundwork for new stuff in the future. The most notable change between the 14th gen and this new line is the fact that Intel says they have reduced the power consumption by half, while having the same performance as the 14900K. That would be really good for Intel. It seems they're working on a new socket too, with better pressure on the CPU, so the need for a contact frame is removed.
I'm personally intrigued to see how these new chips perform.
More details below:
Intel Core i9-14900K -> Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
Intel Core i7-14700K -> Intel Core Ultra 7 265K

A blog has surfaced from a laptop manufacturer, condemning the entire coreboot project for being unprofessional.
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Malibal-Suggests-No-Coreboot
After a search online, I found this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/15v2y21/stay_away_from_malibal/
The article is also getting more and more personal and heated up as the post went on, which felt weird, but I dismissed at first. Seeing this thread, my original hunch was right. They also stopped selling in Germany and Poland and Texas, as well as cutting communications with AMD entirely simply because they had bad experiences with coreboot maintainers and consultants. They might be childish too, but it seems Malibal took very personally. Very strange behavior overall.

If the CPU is 64-bit, then the Windows version is wrongly installed. Since the CPU is 64-bit, perhaps try Linux on it? Maybe make it into some sort of local network file server? Maybe a Jellyfin instance?great_elmo wrote:

It used to be common to install 32 bits windows on lower-end 64 bits devices. Since 32 bits windows are allegedly use less resources to run.Winnyace wrote:

Uhm... What do I do if my battery kept itself safe one day and now I can only use my laptop if it has AC power?
You could use it as a desktop (what I did) until you get a new battery.

They aren't. The API request that adblockers like uBlock Origin used were also used for malicious usage, so Google saw it as a security risk. I don't like this change either, but they aren't doing this to kill adblockers specifically. uBlock Origin Lite works just fine on Chrome from my testing for a casual user. Google understands that if they actually go after adblockers, head on, they will lose their influence and power, more or less immediately.Corne2Plum3 wrote:

Why is the pic so low res? Can barely read it.
I sit somewhere between privacy conscious and activist according to this. I don't really sacrifice convenience that much, like I still use windows, switching to a privacy focused linux distro is way too inconvenient to be worth it for me.

These new Intel CPUs are kind of weird. The launch was rushed and the power efficiency claim is very weird. The pricing for these CPUs is really bad too. That doesn't mean there aren't some good things here, but it's too little for anything significant. I'm disappointed with this new generation of CPUs, but at the same time, both of these generations are switching to new architectures. Let's hope that the next one will be better.
