I opened up Dungeon issue 93 because the file name also has Polyhedron 152 in it.

Behold! There's a lot of missing pages.

The inside cover, whatever is between the table of contents through page 5, 7, 9-13, 25-27, 33-37, 65, 99, Polyhedron section is missing 27, 29, 33, 37, 39.

Makes me wonder if PDFs of other issues of Dragon, Dungeon, and Polyhedron have missing pages? (Other than Polyhedron 92 which I found complete on Scribd and 95 which a couple of folks here sent me.)

I'll just look at the separate file for Polyhedron 152... it's missing the same pages, and it's a different (and worse quality, lower res, crooked pages) scan from what's in the Dungeon 93 issue. What gives? It was obviously scanned directly from an actual magazine.

That's a lot of files to look through. Group project to scan through every issue to find out what all is missing, and find *complete* scans?

The first 250 issues of Dragon from the CD-ROM set *should* be complete, but has anyone checked in the years since the disc set release?

I got a complete copy of Polyhedron issue 92 from Scribd but they only have one copy of issue 95, which is missing pages 15-18, just like every copy of it I've found on the web archive and spawningpool (which also has an incomplete copy of 92)

Issue 95 is the only one I need to complete the set.

Does PIA not do a periodic quality of service test to make sure that various popular websites will be accessible through their proxy servers?

What makes it especially irritating is not all of the sites with problems going through PIA have issues with the same servers. For example on the Denver server Google and the PIA site and Reddit worked but not Archive. But on Seattle, none work.

If they don't get this all fixed I'll be looking for another VPN that doesn't keep logs.

I updated the BIOS to 10.43 Beta. Then I enabled Secure Boot after I saw the news about keys expiring. I'd previously enabled the AMD CPU fTPM.

Now I want to update to BIOS 10.45 and even with secure boot, TPM, and ROM Armor disabled (I restarted and went right back to setup) it's still not enabling Instant Flash.

I have an Asrock B450 Pro4 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600 Matisse, no video in the CPU.

Here's the list of supported CPUs. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450%20Pro4/#CPU

I cannot find a simple list of all those CPUs sorted by the order of Core name by release date. Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, whatever Ridge, etc? Oldest to newest please!

I'm looking for the newest core type in 65W TDP, without built in video, Ryzen 7 or 9, that's not stupid high priced, 6 or more cores, and not any slower than the 3.6 Ghz of what I have.

What I have, with 32gig DDR4, has been doing well enough since 2019, but some more pep in the old thing would be nice, keeping budget and power use in mind.

It's not just the power bill as a reason for wanting 65W, I'm still using the same heat pipe cooler I bought years ago for a Phenom II. It was oversized for that so it worked just fine on what I had between the Phenom II and the Ryzen. I'm amazed AMD has kept the same cooler mounting all these years.
