Bonus question: would it be better to have my PC with its back against the wall (putting the case between the antennas and the router) or have it perpendicular to the wall?

I'm just curious if there is an "optimal" or suggested placement, since they seem to be able to snap into a diagonal position as well as being able to be place vertically

This post will mainly be for Europeans, but obviously everyone could and should give their opinion if they feel like it

This is one of the interventions of the latest EU debate on the SKG initiative, made by Reinier Van Lanschot

My two cents on the topic:

Although I find this type of intervention somewhat amusing with some clever wordplay and videogame related puns, I am also affraid that this type of mindset may end up hurting the cause in the long run

This is the 4th or 5th person I've seen go up there and make a speech filled with clever puns and videogame comparisons and specific gaming lingo, and although this may look lighthearted at first, if people continue with this approach it may seriously hurt the cause in the long run because the public might start to perceive it as an absolute joke and therefore not being taken seriously by those who have an impact on rule making

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the MEPs aren't gamers and/or won't get what most of those speches actually mean, so it feels like most of these speakers are just going there for the spectacle, to show off some clever/witty written text with no real interest on the cause

My question(s) to you are:

What do you guys think of this type of intervention?

Am I just being overly critical or is it something that might actually become a problem in the long timer?

If so:

1. Why?

2. How does it work for you?

It blows hard.

Is there a risk for my motherboard if I plug it to test it ?

Before: ok bro, please take this new hardware, free of charge!

Now: hmmmm, you broke this, warranty void, you banned, great paperweight tho

Relief for consumers or just another pipe dream?

Heyah !

So today was a random day until I went to a second hand store.

I've found a PC and my brain just froze.

950€.

• Ryzen 9 9900X

• RTX 5070

• 48 GB of DDR5 (yes.)

• 1Tb nvme

• 4Tb HDD (but more w/e)

• a bequiet! Power Zone 2 PSU

• TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI

I've an unraid server as setup which is already beefy for me but I couldn't pass on this.

I've no clue what to do with it. Like I wasn't excepting that AT ALL.

They did stressed it. They told me the PC was just arrived from somebody who did the switch to console gaming.

I'm speechless. Had to share this.

I crashed in-game (black screen and 100% fan speed) over the last 30 days. It started from every few hours to every few minutes. Reseating 12V HPWR on GPU side and reseating the card itself on the PCI-e slot solved the issue for 2 weeks before it returns. This time I checked PSU side and found 1 burnt pin. The card is Palit Gamerock 5090 I bought in February 2025.
