minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish99•2 years agoWhy is it that every time there’s drama about hardware, its something I own?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish33•2 years agoWell, this happens to affect the Ryzen 5 3600, which I’m pretty sure is one of AMD’s most popular processors ever…so you’re certainly not alone.
