I usually physically take drives out and boot without them before wiping. Just something I do now, because of this exact situation.

Likely a bios update you need to apply. At one point the B450s weren't going to support Zen 3. AMD reversed course later, but that likely means that a bios update had to come along in order to add the support.

Lots of motherboards, even new ones, still ship with old-ass bios.

Also, remember that memory-training is a thing now -- don't assume that 10 seconds of a black screen means it won't post. Easily wait a minute or more - board could just be in memory-training to get the best speeds.

Wonderful, biking on a road with no shoulder, around barely visible curves. Good luck!

There was that one guy who got charged $60k in late fees at blockbuster though.

I'm one of the few dudes who didn't think sewing was for women back in school, and let me tell you - that shit is worth having as a skill. Legitimately being able to tailor your own clothing is legit.

However, I'm not gonna dump on people without the skill to do it - just like I won't dump on people who use modern tools to create graphics.

No company in the history of electronics has ever been in the habit of remotely bricking devices, get real.

And yes, I've read it - ON TOP of that, I'm familiar with these types of clauses in a real world basis. Let me tell you, you're off in lala land with your interpretation.

Here's an example one: https://www.meetup.com/101-dating-relationships/events/307612236/

No, Bricking would be rendering the firmware useless. It has a definition and this is not it. Rendering the Switch unable to play games, does not make it a brick. Definitions matter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)

A brick (or bricked device) is a mobile device, game console, router, computer or other electronic device that is no longer functional due to corrupted firmware, a hardware problem, or other damage

Banning you from using their online service, does not make the Switch a brick, as the firmware still functions as intended.

So now, you're arguing over a "What if" -- AND you're getting definitions completely wrong, resulting in the spread of misinformation.

You don't know what form will be taken when this happens. They haven't used it yet. I could say in a EULA that I have the right to destroy earth, doesn't make it true. Certain things are unenforceable, and you don't know what route or method Nintendo is going to use that this clause is supposedly protecting.

The EULA is a "we CAN do this". It doesn't dictate what form it will take, how they approach it, etc. Until someone breaks this clause, we won't know how it's approached, or even if it's enforced, or how.

Whatever you do, steer clear of meetup.com - all of their social activities on there now are scientologists thinly veiling their seminars as get-togethers.

If they allow local games and all that's lost is the online service, then we don't know this for sure - it's all speculation. We're all arguing over a bunch of "what ifs".
