Tl;dr, 3 new revelations:

• The NSA listed Cavium, an American semiconductor company marketing Central Processing Units (CPUs) – the main processor in a computer which runs the operating system and applications – as a successful example of a “SIGINT-enabled” CPU supplier. Cavium, now owned by Marvell, said it does not implement back doors for any government.
• The NSA compromised lawful Russian interception infrastructure, SORM. The NSA archive contains slides showing two Russian officers wearing jackets with a slogan written in Cyrillic: “You talk, we listen.” The NSA and/or GCHQ has also compromised Key European LI [lawful interception] systems.
• Among example targets of its mass surveillance program, PRISM, the NSA listed the Tibetan government in exile.

Yup, just reboot to apply it.

It'll show up in dmesg: "microcode updated early to Rev. ###' etc

75C is fine, the CPU will throttle in order to avoid max temps. This isn't something that should cause instability.

It's POSSIBLE that this is a bug that's fixed with a microcode update, see here for installing it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Microcode

TL;DR:

1. Install amd-ucode
2. Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, add microcode after autodetect
3. sudo mkinitcpio -P
4. reboot

If that doesn't fix it, and it crashes in Windows too, it may be a hardware problem. There isn't much you need to do in order to get a CPU working.

You'll fit right in, 'round here.

e: saw you go it fixed, congrats. It's always DNS

Be sure to restrict it to only be readable by root.

sudo chmod 400 /etc/newpassword

It wasn't that it wasn't ready, it just cost them $1m to hire a private contractor to unlock it.

A court ordered redesign of the password lock timeout would have been free.

There are plenty of responses from people trying to help.

If the OP isn't willing to try any steps or provide feedback to the people who offered suggestions that's on them.

On the other hand, you're engaging in exactly the kind of zero effort flame posts that you're also complaining about. It is hypocritical to complain about toxic Linux communities while being part of the toxicity.

If he only had a hawk-sized watch, we wouldn't have this problem

You're confused. I said "this thread" and not "The OP".

If you read the comments, do you see a frank discussion of people attempting to locate a gender neutral term for a tech enthusiast or a bunch of people just riffing insulting terms?

Regardless, to address you specifically. You're trying to "win" an argument using rhetoric in place of reason. You're not winning the argument, you're just throwing a punch and declaring victory.

You win arguments by having better arguments, not by coming up with the best clever clapback so that you get more upvotes

This thread is basically "Please help me brainstorm pejoratives", a very toxic mindset to have.

We were all, at some point, just some really spicy clay.
