It's possible to fry a 9950X with certain math operations, if you do it for months in a row.

Even if the CPU is not overheating in general, it may apparently degrade in one weak spot.

Never planned to watch this, but it appeared among new arrivals.

One of the biggest investors in the game industry shared his thoughts about red flags while pitching:

1. No Sound Validation Of A Problem And Market Potential: A common mistake founders make is rushing to present their solution without clearly defining the problem first.

2. Fuzzy Financials And Unrealistic Projections: Even with a compelling vision, inadequate financial planning is a deal-breaker. A seed deck showing wild projections with no clear path to get there doesn't induce trust.

3. Founding Team With No Skin In The Game And Little Expertise: Investors aren't just hunting for ideas; they are searching for people. If founders aren't investing their own money or time into their business, it raises serious concerns about commitment. A team still working other full-time jobs while pitching their startup sends a clear signal: They aren’t all-in. Investors are more likely to back founders who eat, sleep and breathe their startup.

4. Cluttered, Overloaded Deck: Overwhelming investors with too much information is another common pitfall. Slides with a wall of dense text, complex charts or excessive jargon almost immediately lose interest, no matter how good the product is. A pitch deck is a high-level overview, not an exhaustive document.

5. Early Equity Dilution And Governance Gaps: Excessive early equity distribution creates multiple problems that compound over time. When founders give away too much ownership to early hires, advisors or friends, they risk two critical failures:
