Leftist terror cells, lmfao. Like 99% of terrorism worldwide, but especially in the U.S., is and has been caused by right-wing pieces of shit and their fucking little nihilistic toddler-brained psychoses. But go off king, enjoy wasting time and resources chasing hallucinations, I guess.
Try straightening the pins on the 1500X like another user already suggested. I’ve used a pocket knife blade between and outside CPU pins to get them aligned enough that they dropped back in with a slight push, and the lock-in action straightened them further. If no pins are broken off or bent too severely and the socket contacts weren’t damaged, it should start up again.
That board has dual firmware feature, so if/when you get to the Q-Flash screen, make sure to check “also flash to backup slot” or you may have this problem again in the future if the boot slot ever gets toggled somehow.
To respond to your other question, no, it won’t get firmware updates through Windows Update. That generally only happens with branded prebuilt systems like Dell, HP, etc. and laptops. You can and should get the latest firmware and drivers direct from Gigabyte’s support page for your model, just as you are now. The firmware update image can be read by Q-Flash from a USB stick or any internal or external non-encrypted hard drive partition.
I’ll remember that, wasn’t aware as I haven’t followed their videos for quite a while (not for any particular reason, I always found their opinions agreeable especially on the topic of work/jobs).
It was on Twitter I think, can’t recall the date exactly but maybe 2019? Feels like I first saw it showcased on the CTH subreddit. He stated that he supported the idea of DPRK being bombed again because he believes they’re some grave threat to the world, or something equally fucking stupid. If it’s not still in his Twitter post history, archive.org or a user here would possibly have a screencap.
He spoke some big brave redditor words in a brief rant against DPRK or China or similar in one of his past videos but I don’t remember which one. It reminded me of hbomberguy’s outburst from a few years ago. ThoughtSlime also stated that he’s anarchist in one or more of his videos, so it’s a safe bet between that and the rant that he’s anti-AES and anti-anything-else associated with it.

Nearly all job applications here in Burgerland have an agreement at the end where by signing it, you give them permission to verify all declared dates, places, and sometimes job titles and salaries of past employment, in addition to the usual criminal and occasionally credit checks. You can usually tell it’s being done because you get semi-interactive email updates on its progress and sometimes a pause and request for more info.
So how does some random employer even get info like this to begin with? From shit like LexisNexis, The Work Number, and various other harvesters who maintain lifetime databases on workers, fed in part or in whole by networks of affiliated employers who submit employee histories to them. They are the snitch services who cater these background checks to employers.
They’re permitted their own parking spaces closest to the entrance at some businesses here, probably the same ones that build U.S. flag and troop worship displays out of soda 12-packs, or restaurants like Chick-fil-A that set up empty “fallen soldier” tables:

Also love that reactionary bit about being Finnish, and history. One of the users in the commit comments took issue with it too, maybe you saw this one already:
A few more good ones that resonate with me:

Not guaranteed, no. It depends solely on whether the torrent in question is monitored by a copyright troll firm, in which case they’ll catch your IP in their regular sweeps and fire off automated complaint letters to the ISP, who then forward it on to you. The ISP itself doesn’t monitor your traffic in that way.
Not all torrents are watched by these firms, not even close, and ISPs often forward the complaints along without taking any action against the subscriber. Some ISPs, however, were successfully sued by the copyright mafia over not doing enough to “fight piracy” or whatever, and now will cut you off the internet entirely and close your account after some stupidly low number of complaints.
