As an actual EE who has designed mainboards, this smells of hyperbole to the N-th degree with a dose of misinformed. As another user said, you had a bunch of dead unmonitored CMOS cells, then lost power. Then realized that all your BIOS configuration parameters where lost and systems wouldn't boot from disk, likely because whatever chosen disk / raid controller configuration was wrong too then. We test mainboards to destruction with simulated faulty power supplies. The CMOS coin cell is so far down the failure chain, your mainboard has released the magic smoke several times over before the CMOS cell on the 3.3V rail with multiple protections is a single failure. I have exploded and burned CMOS coin cells before, but not before the board was a wreck. I'm talking catastrophic failure that it's a bigger concern to the system operators health, forget the board.
The DRAM controller has been on the CPU socket since AMD's Opteron/Athlon 64 (2003) and Intel's Nehalem first-gen Core i5/i7 products (2008). AMD's recent migration toward multiple chiplets on the CPU package has not changed the direct connection between DRAM and the CPU socket.

This is true. However with the MCH off-chip and worst case inter core latency comparable a DRAM refresh cycle, AMD could in theory move the MCH away from the socket and see no major performance penalty.
Not to mention the Zen 2 IO die is just a cut-down version of X570, or maybe it is the other way around heh?
But 10 years is also the rated lifetime for CR2032 cells. Those made in 2022 will definetly still be good to use in 2032. I've had some last as PC CMOS ram backup cells since the late 90's and they are not rechargeable, nor being charged in the system they are in.
You have actually just demonstrated that you have no idea how chicken reproduction works. None of the eggs you can buy at the store are fertilised. It is rather obvious when they are. You cannot develop a chick embryo in unfertilised eggs.
You just get rotten eggs if they lie around for too long and get warm.

We were talking about a tradition that was created in the middle of the last century, when home fridges started to include egg trays, and supermarkets were (probably) a little different than today.
Yes, I can inform you that you can definitely buy organic fertilized eggs in many places, at least in Europe.
And if you think that we never studied embryology and sexual reproduction in the faculty of biology and that I did my thesis in animal reproduction without knowing what is an ovule and what is a spermatozoa... well, you have a really weird sense of the reality. I would not buy anything "demonstrated by you" at this moment.
> Commercial egg-laying hens aren’t going to be let anywhere near a rooster, so you’re not going to get fertilised eggs from the store.
That's why it's rather obvious when they are fertilised. Because you actually will often have to consciously go out of your way to ask for fertilised eggs, usually specifically for chicken breeding purposes.
Sorry for that I could have made it more obvious. Haha.
They can't really "afford it" in the common sense of it. Russia is just so big and has so much left over hardware and factories from soviet days as well as people with the know how that things will get done alone almost automatically by scale and diversity of options. Somewhere there's always someone able that's willing to do it for less.
Its difficult to explain this concept/phenomenon, but Russia just works very differently compared to other countries and has a lot of underpaid skilled people, information and older tech to fallback on.
