who the fuck think it’s a good idea to push bios update via windows update?, it can’t even get video driver update right. Before you flaming me for using microslop windows this is my brother laptop not mine

It semi reliably kills pipewire and some sometimes USB drives won’t mount after a kernel update if I don’t restart.
Hasn’t happened in a little while though
unless you a running a livepatch setup, you should always reboot after a kernel update.
or an nvidia driver update, but that’s an exception.
I’m not I just run 128 GB RAM in 4 dimms on Ryzen7000 which is tricky to get running at a reasonable speed and doesn’t always restart right so I’m reticent to restart
that sounds like a drag. have you tried a firmware update?
those usually help with getting ram to play nice.
Yeah. The memory controllers in the DDR5 ryzens just can’t handle 4 sticks of 32. The recommendation is 2 x 48gb but with RAM prices the way they are I’m probably going to stick with the 4 32s since that is what I have.
if you’re on arch, where i know the usb thing happens out of the box, there’s a pacman hook you can install to fix it. i can’t remember what its called but you should be able to fix it
I’m on an arch derivative (endeavouros).
Thanks I’ll take a look around. It seems to happen just infrequently enough that I’ve never gone out of my way to fix it.
The pipewire thing just needs a restart of pipewire which isn’t a huge problem.
