Re:Intel Processor Instability Causing Oodle Decompression Failures

I also recently built a system with the 14900KF on an ASUS TUF motherboard and NZXT Kraken 360 cooler, and so far I haven't experienced any issues running everything at default BIOS settings (defaulted to 5.7GHz). I haven't seen temps above 70C yet, although granted I also haven't seen CPU load go above 40%, and haven't tried running any benchmarking software.
I'm curious about what you are using for cooling, as 90C at 5.4ghz seems way off compared to what I am seeing on my processor, but it could just be that I'm not pushing my processor quite as hard even with the higher clock rate.

If I were to guess, I'd say that this estimate is including hardware, cloud resources, software licenses, benefits, stock options, and probably more that I can't think of in addition to salary, but I too would like a more detailed explanation on how they came by that number.

He only gives scammers the QR code that leads into his gauntlet. Normal people shouldn't be stumbling into this, as it requires a fake QR code from a fake Bitcoin ATM receipt. This also lures the scammers in as they believe they will receive (someone else's) Bitcoin.

I was under the impression that when they said "This is a fraction of the amount I put back into the grid", it implied that they are generating their own electricity to use for this, most likely from solar panels.
This is an assumption though, they could be running a large diesel generator for all we know.
Re:Factorio is coming to Nintendo Switch

Getting a Steam Deck and owning Rimworld has been a very dangerous combination for me... Haven't tried Factorio on my Deck yet partly because I don't think there is an official control scheme for it yet, but I'm worried that when I do it will open that addiction right back up and I will become completely useless in the real world.
