    Agent181 reacted to don_svetlio in A10 vs I7(older)   
    The A10 is the overall better option - the i7 is a dual-core with HT whereas the A10 is a quad-core - it's also much newer, more efficient and performs the same or better. Also, 8GB of RAM vs 4GB

    The only reason i'm posting this is because Elon accidentally tweeted it and deleted the tweet in a span of 15 seconds.

    I'm not a photoshopper or even a user of Paint, so here's my two cents.
    Process (get the new node producing the tweaked old architecture well, add in new graphics, boost up core count for servers and possibly enthusiasts)
    Architecture (introduce the new one with new demanded feature sets, even if there isn't time to tune up clock speeds or power, add new graphics if ready, possibly add cores)
    Optimization (shave instruction latencies, introduce more instructions as demanded, tune up clock speed, add new graphics if ready)
     
    And pray IBM doesn't get a massive breakthrough at the wrong time.

    Agent181 reacted to LinusTech in I think LTT makes up a majority of Vessel views...   
    IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
     
    But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
     
    I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
     
    These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
     
     
     
    In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
     
    We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
     
    This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
     
    With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
     
    Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
     
    Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
     
    We couldn't. We're hiring.
     
    I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
     
    Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
     
    So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

    Agent181 reacted to Nico559 in Noctua ; RMA. Why I love this company.   
    A month ago, one of my Noctua 140mm radiator fans stopped spinning out of the blue.  I tossed it, in my box of dead electronics and moved on, until I recently became irritated by the Corsair fans I've been using, prompting me to check up on the possibility of a replacement.  I wasn't expecting this response.

    I contacted the company via email with a screenshot of my receipt from Amazon and 13 minutes later, they replied. 
     
     
    I was so impressed.  Good for you, Noctua.  A $27 fan, replaced without question. 13 minute response and product shipped the next day.  You couldn't ask for better service. Outstanding.

    I will, without a doubt remain a long time loyal customer.  Posted this simply because I was impressed by how quickly they're handling this.  If you're considering a company that backs its products up, consider Noctua.

    Noctua really is one of the better companies in terms of customer service out there. The products are made well, and if anything goes wrong, there is no hassle. I wish all companies were ran like that. Unfortunately, almost every other company (not just in the tech community) usually has horrible customer service. There are luckily many good ones out there.
