I just hope the 5800X3D will still be available in 3-4 months.

Although I might buy it now as many of our local outlets are out of stock. Prices are very high though.

You are lucky that your employer paid for your monitor. The input switching issues do sound extremely annoying though. This is something you want to work without any issues or any actions.

Agreed, the official process was a massive pain and borderline non functional.

I lived in North America for ~10 years, the whole time I still converted miles / pounds / fahrenheit into real units in my head.

To this day, feet/yards etc. sounds like made up measures to me.

To implement something like this, you would need a radical change in judicial and criminal systems.

Something along the lines of any white collar crime worth more than say 10 annual local median salaries, would require a rehabilitation program (if convicted) that would start with full asset seizure (absolutely everything) and a minimum of 10 years real community service (live-in junior janitor at an Alzheimer's outpatient institution with minimum wage and limited access to internet and smartphones). The community service could easily be extended to 20, 30 or 40 years depending the on the severity of the crime.

You would also need to get rid of various "get out of jail free" laws and make it easy to organized criminals and send them to rehabilitation programs.

I can't imagine why you would use a built-in TV/monitor OS. Even if you're not computer savvy, you're better of getting a cheap streaming stick.

Are you sure that a soundcard needs weird software to work? With just the drivers you should just have working sound output via the soundcard ports. I could be wrong as I haven't had a soundcard in a very long time.

Could be annoying, but you may be able to only install the drivers and avoid the bloatware. I do that with Nvidia, I only have the drivers, not Geforce experience or whatever.

Sucks about onboard audio dying; hate when things like this happen on a new build.

Unfortunately I can't make recommendation on your proposed setup, but as an alternative, have you considered getting soundcard as an alternative? The basic ones are ~$20 where I live.

Seems like an excellent monitor, but I really dislike the "ROG" branding. It's so obnoxious.

Too bad there is no DisplayPort input. I get it it that this a TV device "redone" for a monitor product, but still.
