  1. Zen 4 is due in 2022 and will likely use the AM5 socket. With the 5600, you'll still get a few more years of life out of your current setup and should hold you over until the shortage issues normalize.
  2. Without knowing which leads are connected to which, it will be hard to know if the dead Grounds were used. Some PCBs do not make that clear until you screw if off. Unfortunately, you'll need an exact model to get a donor board from. PCBs can change between different lots of the same model (rare but possible, usually differs from one size's iteration to the next). It may be safer to go to a data recovery service to get them to recover the data.
  3. The Ryzen 5 3600 comes with the Wraith cooler which is actually a decent cooler (provided you won't be overclocking). Otherwise, ye olde CM Hyper 212 Evo is still the budget builder's cooling-on-a-dime-cooler.
  4. People have been buying pre-builts to extract the GPU while you're trying to put one in. Intel Core i5-10600K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.8 GHz Unlocked  LGA1200 Gigabyte B460M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit
  5. Considering it occurred with both PSUs, I wouldn’t consider the PSU as the cause of the short, but I would consider them both as e-waste now that there was a short. The burn marks on both devices are on the Ground pins next to the 3.3V pins. If you can scrape off the carbon from the contacts, you could be OK if all you’re doing is pulling data off. Though, I won’t trust it for long term use anymore. Unfortunately, your need for a new desktop could not have come at a more terrible time. Even last gen parts are hard to source at reasonable prices. Pre-built AMD Ryzen 3000-series based system or Intel 10-series based system may be the cheapest solution. “Couple of hundred” is going to be hard to do right now. If you have a laptop, that would be a better choice to hold you over until desktop parts come down to reasonable prices.
  6. You can try switching PSUs to see if that fixes the issue. If it does, do you have an Intel CPU? Use the iGPU until you get a beefier PSU. It could be something on the motherboard. Since you tried the CMOS battery, it could be an incorrectly seated battery or a bad battery. Maybe the video card or RAM got knocked loose? I’m leaning toward something on the motherboard is the culprit. Yes, that could mean any component connected to the motherboard, which doesn’t narrow things down.
  7. Credits list Ms. Calle as playing “Supergirl”. Doesn’t mention if she is playing Kara Zor-El or a different “Supergirl”.
  8. Thanks to the Arrow-verse, the DC-multiverse is actually much farther along. Cuz it now seems that another Flash will be making a cameo on Ezra Miller's Flash.
  9. Last week was filler. This week was an ok plot-point-moving episode. I get the feeling...
  10. Mecha, in anime, is short-hand for mechanics. Vehicles are considered mechanics in anime. Most artbooks list vehicles in the “mecha” or “mechanics” sections. Cars, planes, trains, tanks, robots, are all mecha. What kind of mecha, as Roy alluded to, depends on how specific you want to get.
  11. Looks like he has a pull cable attached to him so it would have to be a CGI cape in that shot. Probably a close-up stunt shot.
  12. There was word that the new Switch would start production in June. So a September/October release sounds about right. Assuming the chips are there... I'm not optimistic about launch stock of any major electronic items for the rest of this year.
  13. I'm going to agree with this. Unless he's being casted as the villain...
  14. You should know by now, nothing is ever truly dead in Hollywood. It just doesn’t have the suckers staff to produce it.
  15. Abrams...That means there's a conspiracy in the GCPD involving the Court of Owls who are being manipulated by the League (Ra's Al Ghul's League). Batman's creation was orchestrated by the League as a backup tool in case the Court decided to go rogue. ...Or some ridiculous convoluted BS.
  16. FYI, This just means it's in limbo-status. They may not be moving forward with this now, but it doesn't mean they won't revisit it later. Their other projects may revive storylines or characters that could resurrect this project. TBD.
  17. https://www.lucasfilm.com/leadership/dave-filoni/ I’m glad this has finally happen, 9 years late. But…how much executive override does she have over his ideas?
  18. Egan is following up. edit: Apparently, it’s upgrade season. The Compendium will be back up once the upgrades are done.
  19. Guess someone needs to update the Order 66 montage. Spoiler'd for size.
  20. The posting options need to be restored on desktop as well.
