I feel the need to make this because it's clear that the person who posted this and the people who agree with it have no real world experience and this is coming from someone who lives in their room for the most part, though thanks to this documentary I'm going to start touching grass a lot more often, or at least try to. In any case, let me try and educate some of you people in hopes you understand why this documentary and others like it are important.

Firstly, your discomfort is warranted and completely justified. As someone who has gone down rabbit holes of some of the worse atrocities known to mankind, these things really do mess you up. That being said, being uncomfortable is the entire fucking point. I don't know what you're expecting to feel listening to a guy openly admit to being a monster but if it's anything but negative emotions, then something would be wrong with you. These kinds of documentaries are not supposed to be entertainment. They're not supposed to sugarcoat the details either. This is about a child predator caught sexting minors. What kind of weenie hut juniors cut are you expecting out of that?

Furthermore, the shock value and the visuals are meant to portray the level of depravity the guy had among other things. It's one thing to hear about something horrific but you'll truly never what it looks like unless you see it personally or have it happen to you. Of course, most of us don't ever want to have the worst happen to us so the next best thing is usually reenactments that gives you at least a glimpse of those things. Now if you're feeling unwell seeing those things, that's good! Because now you can imagine and better sympathize with what the victims had to see and go through. Words can only paint so much of the picture of what happened and seeing what I saw from the doc, I personally feel so much worse for the victims and the everyone who had to deal with EDP, especially Mike Clum who had to sit through all of that.

As for the victim, Kayla, I'm not sure where people are getting an exploitative aspect from this. She's just telling her side of the story in all of this. I would agree that her face should have been blurred...if she was still a minor, though that being said, I don't know how old she was at the time of her own shoot but my point is the decision to not blur her was probably a choice she made for herself considering that the therapist EDP had got her face blurred and especially since she admits she uses herself being a victim for her online presence. I won't say much else about her except that I hope she heals from it all. From that, the only exploitation present is from the youtubers: Alex, Jidion, and Skeeter Jean. They all exploited the EDP scandal. Even Chris Hansen. This doc was supposed to show shed light on these people and how unhelpful they are wirh getting real justice. How is Mike Clum the bad guy for letting a victim tell her story? I genuinely want an answer to this.

To the point of "parading EDP like a circus animal", it's almost as if that's exactly what he is. I didn't know about EDP until after he was exposed for texting the first round of minors prior to the sting operation so my firsthand knowledge of him was that he was a creep but the other thing that stuck out to me was how unbelievably unserious he was. Outside the predatory stuff, the way he expressed himself in various topics was just so goofy. When he addressed the allegations numerous times back then, he said some of the most insane shit to the point where you actually had to laugh at him for how fucking stupid he is. But the thing about that is that it adds to this whole thing. He shows no remorse for his actions and he doesn't care. One of the first things he told us in the doc was that he was obsessed with the villains solely for the fact that they did horrible things without a care for other people. People like that are dangerous. They are callous monsters who do what they want and don't care about who they hurt. If this isn't textbook narcissim and sociopathy, I don't know what is. But regardless, as comedic as the bitch list was, it further paints how out of touch with reality EDP is and the fact that people he appreciates are all terrible people one way or another is the cherry on top.

Now as for the people who got included, I will say it was weird to see Chris Chan was included. But here's the thing: the fact you have Chris Chan, Wings, Boogie, and all of the youtubers saying how much of a piece of shit he is and what should happen to him is supposed to show how a lot of YouTube's most popular or more infamous figures feel about him. Keep in mind here that this documentary is not just for people who are familiar with EDP. Not everyone watching this is going to know who this guy is or the extent of his crimes. With that said, I think any additional insight even from people who were in no way involved is important because it paints how a set of people feel about him. Chris Hansen may not have had anything to add but as Charlie mentioned in his recent video, you can see how he is again just blatantly admitting to his crimes with no remorse to Chris of all people. And I'm not even going to address the professionals part of the criticism because the level of stupidity you need to have to even ask why they were necessary is astounding.

Now to address some the comments on that thread:

"Did we really need to see x, y, z?" Did someone hold a gun to your head forcing you to watch this? If not, then no, you didn't need to watch this documentary at all!

"It was redundant." Yea it's to drill the concept of how disgusting and evil the dude in the viewers head. It's great you got it the first time but there are lots of people who will need to hear it thousands of times before they get it.

"There are people in support of EDP because of this doc" There were loads of people in support of EDP throughout his entire downfall long before the doc. The entire chat before and during the doc showing was full of them though they could have just been trolls and bots. Besides, people are going to support who they want without any regard to their crimes and shit. Trump shouldn't have even been elected president in 2016 yet alone 2024. I don't see how this doc should be at fault with whatever amount of new fans it brings when they make the point clear how disgusting he is. Anyone supporting him now is fucking weird and you should just be avoiding them full stop.

"They let children around him" This is the ONE good point I will agree with. On the other hand, now that we know that he still has frequent contact with children, it should hopefully get people and the authorities involved to act and get him away from children.

My final thoughts: overall, the doc was really well done and should be commended. Mike Clum had to endure shit pics among other disusting stuff for this and it is unbelievable how a lot of yall are really fucking stupid and missed the entire point. It's ok to not be comfortable with how true crime documentaries are handled because some of them do miss the mark but I think a lot of criticisms for them tend to be overtly privileged from the fact that many of you have never had to endure what the victims and investigators and law enforcement had to endure with these kind of crimes. Mind you, this was a censored cut of the doc and they didn't show everything either (for example, they didn't go in detail with his first interactions with fans like the one where he asked a 14 year old a pic of her tits for the cameo and then proceeded to say that he doesn't care if they were 1). And btw there is much worse than EDP. Wait till yall hear about Lionmaker.

I noticed at a certain point that when applying an offset to a core, it won't reduce as much.

Core 4 for example:
-18 VID: 1.240, VDDCR: 1.253, Vcore: 1.263
-19 VID: 1.232, VDDCR: 1.246, Vcore: 1.257
-20 VID: 1.231, VDDCR: 1.245, Vcore: 1.256

Is this a sign that I'm reaching a limit?

Edit: Ok I tested -21 and here's what I got:

-21 VID: 1.227, VDDCR: 1.241, Vcore: 1.251

Is this just voltage points on the curve being different then?

Getting tired of Winslop shenanigans and want to move to Linux. I have per core CO set up on my CPU, EXPO profile on RAM with tightened timings, and overclocked my GPU. Do I need to worry about possible instabilities just from moving to a Linux? Or is it dependent on the Linux distro? What about overclocking software?

Let's first consider circumstances if Kyoya won.

Gan Gan Galaxy is now down to two losses and thus are eliminated from the tournament.

Ok so they can just do a wildcard right? First of all, the wildcard spots were never stated to be claimable by any team that lost at any point in the tournament. It was only the first round, and the round before the very finals. So most likely, this would be the complete end of the round for Gan Gan Galaxy. What does this mean? Well take every moment after Ginga and Kyoya's battle and throw it in the trash. None of that happens now. Tsubasa doesn't struggle with the dark power and eventually overcome it, Masamune never learns from his humbling from his loss to Nile alongside his other lesson that he needs to fight with his team and not with just himself and also his loss to Georg (Klaus), but most importantly, Gan Gan Galaxy doesn't go to the finals to claim their number one spot where, just to remind you, Dr. Ziggarut was waiting to see Galaxy Pegasus and collect data on its power, its full power mind you. All of this is lost and more than likely replaced with some other story that's completely separate from the tournament which was the whole point of this season.

Ok well just have Masamune and Nile tie. Nope doesn't work. Masamune needed to lose to Nile. Masamune was running his mouth and talking a big game. Nile beating him almost effortlessly was to humble him. He then learns in his team battle with Ginga against Nile and Kyoya that he needs to work with his team to become number one. Having them tie destroys all of this.

So with all that being said, do you still think Kyoya should have won?

Edit: I could have also mentioned the fact that Ginga's blader spirit pushing Pegasus coming from his resolve to not lose to Kyoya and take his team to the finals was stronger than Kyoya's resolve to defeat him but despite the blader's spirit being the very central theme of this entire anime, nobody likes to hear this for whatever reason

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge because I haven't been to find anyone talking about this particular ycruncher test but BKT seems to be good at detecting instability with your CPU whether all cores have the same or different offest. Either the PC freezes or ycruncher crashes. It was how I figured out that my CPU (9800X3D with +200 override) was unstable at -30 on all cores but could handle -28 despite AIDA, OCCT, and Prime95 all passing on -30. It also helped with my per core profile as well. Of course since it was on an all core load, I didn't know which core crashed but since I was looking to maintain voltage harmonization, I had to decrease the offset on all cores anyway. I haven't tested it on a per core basis though through CoreCycler but if it didn't work on all core, then the CO profile was not stable so it wasn't worth trying.

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but I at least wanted to share what worked for me.

Karhu RAM Test is a software used to look for hardware instability for your memory modules. It's pretty popular in the overclocking community so I decided to try it out. Unfortunately I only started worrying about the privacy aspect of the software after paying for it.

Firstly, the source code is not available anywhere. I know closed source =/= spyware and open source =/= perfectly safe privacy wise but it is worth bringing up.

Secondly, you can only pay through Paypal, which is a detriment to those who live in countries where Paypal is blocked but given how Paypal operates, it may as well be a blessing maybe.

Third, their policies.
Here is the privacy policy:

THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING PERSONAL DATA

We collect personal data to manage our customer relationships, to monitor the
use of our products and services and to improve our business. We may also use
the data for statistical purposes (anonymized if publicized).

WHAT PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED

from other sources such as the payment service provider (e.g. PayPal) through
which they purchased our products or services.

DISCLOSURE OF THE PERSONAL DATA

We do not disclose personal data to any third parties unless required by the
law, a judicial body or a government agency or we are involved in a merger or
an acquisition.

WHERE THE PERSONAL DATA IS STORED

We use Microsoft Azure and we have specified West-Europe as the location of
our database. It is possible that the collected data is partially stored
outside the EU or EEA.

TRANSFER OF THE PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EU OR EEA

We do not transfer personal data outside the EU or EEA unless required by the
technical implementation of a product or service.

HOW THE PERSONAL DATA IS SECURED

All personal data is handled confidentially and stored securely. The data is
protected by technical means such as firewalls, passwords and encryption.

Their refund policy:

Digital products or services cannot be returned.

The purchase of any digital product or service is final and non-refundable.

An exercept of their EULA:

4. ACTIVATION

Some features of the software might be unavailable until you have activated
your license with the product key associated with it.

You cannot activate your license if you do not have an internet connection or
the online services for the software are not available.

5. PRIVACY AND TELEMETRY

You consent to the collection of the following personal data during your use
of any online services for the software, that require user interaction:

    - Your IP address

    - An unique identifier based on your current hardware and operating system
      installation

    - An unique token associated with your license

If you explicitly allow telemetry, additional personal and/or anonymized data
may be automatically collected during your use of the software.

All personal data is handled as per the Privacy Policy of Karhu Software.

An excerpt of their README.txt

Telemetry:

    Allow the collection of the following personal and/or anonymized data each
    time a test is finished:

        * Your IP address
        * An unique identifier based on your current hardware and operating
          system installation
        * An unique token associated with your license
        * RAM Test version
        * RAM Test platform (x64 or x86)
        * Motherboard make and model
        * Processor make and model
        * Memory make and model
        * Settings used during the test
        * Test duration
        * Test coverage
        * Test error count

Now having already bought the software and used it, here's some other things to know:
As explained in the EULA, online connectivity is required to activate the license. The program doesn't do much without the license. Once you activate it, you can block the connection via Defender's firewall and you will still be able to use it just fine. There is a telemetry setting in the software which was set to block by default, for me at least. But the license is tied to my real name and a token number.

So what's the verdict here? Did I make a mistake following through all of the steps with the software? I had a VPN active so maybe it only took my VPN's IP address but they of course have my email and real name. I'm unsure of what other data they could've gotten but if anyone knows, I'd love to hear it and email their support about it.

Also do saved profiles persist after the update?

I'm currently using an air cooler on my CPU as it seemed more reliable than AIO and it even with my per core undervolts and increased PBO, it handles really well. Highest temp I've seen in game is around 60C and in stress tests it does reach the thermal limit at 95C. The biggest power draw was around 168W.

Would an AIO cooler allow for more extreme overclocking or just more thermal headroom? I don't think I'll need it anyway because I don't see what else I can overclock my CPU for meaningful gains that would require it but I'm just curious.

Motherboard: ASUS TUF B850 PLUS WIFI

Cooler: Phantom Spirit Thermalright 120SE (fans set to turbo and pasted with PTM)

Overclocks/Tweaks: +200 PBO (5425MHz max clock), harmonized per core curve optimizer at around 1.266 Core VID (-28 lowest, -12 highest), Curve Shaper is on Auto, Motherboard PBO Limits, Level 4 Load Line Calibration, CPPC at Driver

I just need some clarifications about Windows GDID. Articles about it state that its from signing in to Windows with a Microsoft account. So if you sign in locally, a GDID never generates? And if you already signed in with a Microsoft account but then removed it from your PC, does the GDID still persist?

I just have a lot of confusion about how GDID really generates. I thought maybe it could exist just from a license but maybe only for OEM licenses as you can't reuse OEM licenses like you can for retail licenses (though I've never tried reusing retail licenses). Maybe just having windows without a license is enough to have a GDID. I feel like this needs to be cleared up.
