No the FUCK they're not
There are inspections and flight worthiness manuals. Nobody is going to complete tear down a fucking jet and bolt it together again, that's literally less secure.
... The videos have comparison charts, have you actually never watched one
And Ars is also a very good source
YouTube has a search function you know
Just search GN channel for the part you want to buy
It's much better than a narrow benchmark like PassMark and they show actual real world performance
Go watch tech channels on YT, there are many great channels. Gamer's Nexus also has a website (completely ad free too) that has all of their benchmark results.
Also, Phoronix although it is Unix centric
Not incorrect, just very technically irrelevant and misleading. The article in question isn't outright lying, yes if you completely rip out the cooler when the CPU is at maximum it can be damaged, but they warped that into this supposedly big scary defect, which is manipulative at best
At the same time as Tom's Hardware made a very wrong and bogus claim, Intel was sued for bribery and unfair practices for multiple offenses and in multiple regions. I don't think something that has been proven in court is a grand conspiracy, especially considering that particular outlet has had some really shining moments of journalism lmao
But I can't prove this specific incident without a complete court record that I don't have
It's a broad series of court proceedings and shit and it covers a broad range of anti-trust, this article is more of a summary. You can try finding the actual court documents if you're that interested

AMD has argued that Intel used illegal means to preserve its 80 percent share of the global market for central processing units, which are the brains of personal computers. Regulators in Asia and Europe have agreed, imposing fines and other remedies on Intel. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is close to filing its own complaint, sources have said.
It was part a larger unethical media campaign and bribery chain by Intel. They did their damn best to hurt AMD, and they managed to pull it off, but some time later AMD brought their asses to court and sued over it, with literally billions in damages and agreements that Intel had to pay.
I have a phone with 732G, it's already super smooth on my phone with the official OS and it still has perfect software support. A newer snapdragon wouldn't have much issues.
Offtopic:
(MediaTek on the other hand is actual and absolute garbage. Don't look at their (probably cheated) benchmarks, they provide absolutely no proper support for their chips. There is a reason why anybody who wants to do custom ROMs or android development tries to get an snapdragon.)
Yeah, one of the very few sites not hit hard by enshittification
The cooler falling off is an impossible situation. It's a completely bullshit metric. Intel CPUs of the time ran hotter, used more power, and had lower IPC, hence the higher clock speeds but lower actual performance. They had to invent some bullshit to make themselves look good.
Besides, just a while before that generation thermal safety wasn't even a thing, if you remove the cooler from older Intel processors it just catches fire lol
When you said ADSL and 16Mbps I thought to myself no other country in the world could possibly share this experience
That makes two of us lol
Also where the fuck do you have 5G? I would consider myself lucky at 4.5G (but it works alright)
Lmfao tell me you're an over privileged fuck in some hyper urban city without using those exact words
My life, and lives of hundreds of millions of people in the global south would go TO SHIT if this euro-centric shit takes™ ever get any light of day
IPv6 fixed quite a lot of shite from IPv4
Akshually it was recently found that a spy from Holland I think penetrated a chip supply line and installed an infected chip which found it's way into the centrifuge network
I've seen people consider RMS an overly radical hippy, but man he is a true fucking visionary things he warned us about in the 1990s, 2000s are happening now
Like you get to any other IRC, look up the address and login then make a /nickserv account and browse
Also Hexchat if I'm not mistaken doesn't support IRC v3 protocol
EFNet is boomer shit. Most of IRC happens on other servers now, like LiberaChat, or on new protocols like Matrix.
We're still here, we're still alive
