everyone on Three when there’s a real severe emergency in the UK
https://nitter.moomoo.me/tomwarren/status/1650139989747826690#m
are you on Three and didn’t get the severe test alert in the UK? Hearing lots of people didn’t get it on Three

I love that the UK government severe alert triggered at 2:59PM instead of 3PM 🙃 the UK government, useless at everything
https://nitter.moomoo.me/tomwarren/status/1650138373011435522#m
at 3PM today the government will test an emergency alert to millions of phones in the UK. The test alert will generate a loud sound for around 10 seconds. The system will eventually be used for life-threatening situations

I’ve reached out to both AMD and ASUS to comment on these issues. For now, I’d recommend running the latest BIOS update if you have an X3D chip, as it looks like there are issues with the older BIOS versions

some Redditors and YouTubers have reported cases where AMD’s latest X3D chips are dying randomly. The common element is ASUS motherboards. ASUS seems to have removed older BIOS versions on certain boards and even CPU core voltage options on the latest BIOS updates 🤔

Sky News reports that Microsoft is taking place in a UK game industry event inside 10 Downing Street, the office of the British Prime Minister, on April 26.

Microsoft is giving hackers weather-themed names 🌀❄️ so Crimson Sandstorm isn’t a fancy new Surface color, it’s actually a nation state aligned hacking group.

I'm surprised Ubisoft has been paying Twitch streamers to promote XDefiant this early given its current state

I just reinstalled Windows 11 on my main gaming PC and it took less than 5 mins for a full clean install from USB. It’s still wild how fast Windows installs these days. It feels like the slowest part is having to do OOBE\\BYPASSNRO 😉

Frank O’Connor has left Microsoft. Curious to see where Halo goes next after a lot of leadership changes
