Unfortunately they're probably not stupid enough to all fuck off to Mars soon…

Sounds like you should read Children of Memory next then.

Last finished: Deadhouse Gates (2nd Malazan novel), not sure what I think of the series yet, it has engaging parts, but too much violence for my mood atm (don't need dying refugees in my entertainment).

Now: The Last Continent, Discworld is always recommended.

Most of the recent(ish) updates are vulnerability fixes (after all, the platform is over eight years old now), and they've removed various intermediate versions already or there'd be even more.

This board has a dual BIOS, the integrated flashing utility by default only flashes the main BIOS, and you have to enable the option to flash the backup explicitly. Never had to use the backup, afaik it activates automatically if booting the main BIOS fails several times.

My ASUS "only" has a recovery function (flash BIOS from USB stick automatically if bootup fails) and no warning that I could find.

From https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370M-Gaming-3-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios (manual contains the same, plus a recommendation to keep the default settings):

" Warning: Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction."

Slowing cell aging could mean better health for longer, even if you don't die (much) later.

According to https://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-test.92119/seite-8#abschnitt_leistungsaufnahme_gaming_die_lastspitzen it peaks at 201 W.

As others mentioned, the rest of the PC is important too, but there's also differences in PSU quality. IIRC ATX 3.x requires them to actually be able to supply the nominal power continuously, with short spikes up to twice that. While older and cheaper PSUs often listed the peak output which they couldn't sustain, that's why a lot of power supply calculators recommend a much higher wattage than strictly necessary.

So, assuming a "65 W" AMD CPU which maxes out at 88 W plus the 200 W GPU plus a 50 W buffer for mainboard and drives etc., a good new 350 W PSU should run such a system (assuming you could actually buy one, the lowest ATX 3.x PSUs I've seen start at 450 W).

But to answer the question if you can continue to use your old PSU you a) need to know how much the rest of the system needs, mainly the CPU (which as others have mentioned can range from under 100 W to ~300 W), and b) the real power your PSU can supply which depends on its age and quality - maybe tell us the exact CPU and PSU in question.

Threat to humanity projecting again. News at 11.

Probably means there will be new PNGs that old software won't be able to open.

Und subjektiv etwa die Hälfte der Bewertungen auf Geizhals stammen von Mindfactory. Sollte nicht überraschend sein dass der Eigentümer von GH ein Interesse daran hat MF zu erhalten (überraschend für mich war nur dass das a) Heise ist, und b) die sich das leisten können).

Gab doch von Covid die Erkenntnis dass bessere Belüftung gut gegen die Verberitung von Infektionen hilft. Da hätte man gut drei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen können: Bessere Belüftung und Klimatisierung von Räumen in denen sich viele Leute aufhalten, und Förderung der lokalen Wirtschaft die das einbaut. Bräuchte natürlich Verantwortliche die bereit sind vorwärts zu blicken und sich nicht verzweifelt an der Vergangenheit festklammern und die Zukunft ignorieren.
