  • Replace your thermal paste with ptm or some other ptm like.

    The paste becomes crap over time.

    It may be worth your time to use a ptm alike and new thermal pads on your 7600 as well, or pay a shop to do that.

    Check that air is actually getting to your components. It’s easy for fan screens to get plugged up and for some reason people used to not put enough fans in their cases.

    Those msi b450 motherboards have annoying bioses so check if there some ridiculous fan curve mess turned on or misconfigured.

    I call else fails, noc-tua, blow on that thing.






  • I am basing my statement on leaks from companies that sell phone hacking equipment to law enforcement, military, intelligence and government contractors.

    It’s worth looking into those leaks because they give you insight into what can and cannot be trusted without placing the burden of understanding how on your shoulders.

    Avoiding the necessity of deep understanding of hardware and software security details is important because the simpler and more straightforward security is, the more likely to achieve consistent process compliance you are.

    If you would like to understand, there’s a ton of resources out there. One recommendation to preserve mental health: never go down the arm derivative design process rabbit hole.

    I believe that the mit license is trash and only gpl and other viral licenses are worthwhile, but in case of safety or security the type of software or license isn’t the most important thing.



  • I saw you asking about backup cameras. The way to go with those is to spend 1-200$ on a dashcam system that has a rear camera and permanently wire it in such that it kicks into “backup camera mode” when you put the car in reverse.

    You have a screen, yes, but it’s not tied to anything and it’s not infotainment. All of em do gps tracking and speed monitoring now too so when you get pulled over you have the docs for court.

    Permanent installation also lets the dashcam work as an always on anti theft system. This may require some consideration to avoid running down your battery over two months of letting the car set. Most people use a battery tender when they’re not driving a car for a long time though.
