    hgpot got a reaction from jtaylor991 in LMG Sponsor Complaints   
    Not so much a complaint, but an observation. I just tried out Guard.io from being recommended in a recent video and noticed that it considers lttstore.com to be a "harmful website". Not sure what metrics it uses, but that's a thing. It is harmful to my wallet for sure....

    They kind of do that a lot, it's one of the main reasons the audience trusts their sponsors. They dropped the 6-figure Anker contract on a dime with the Eufy scandals.

    You did look at it right? Rocket Money is free. It's only paid if you use them to cancel services or negotiate bills

    Matters under legal precedent cannot be commented on in public during an official investigation as it can influence said investigation. And have legal ramifications. Any conjecture outside that is just conjecture. Opinions are still opinions, but vilifying based on conjecture and opinion is a fools errand. FYI.

    I can almost guarantee the answer to that is “Our lawyers say we cannot discuss it while the investigation is ongoing.”

    hgpot got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Horizon Zero Dawn - CPU FPS vs GPU FPS?   
    So is it saying that my CPU is limiting me to 63 FPS and I could be at 65 FPS with the GPU and a better CPU?

    hgpot got a reaction from char3327 in Have integrated graphics run second monitor and GPU run main monitor?   
    I want to try this because I will sometimes play a high end game while watching 4k YouTube on a second screen, and the YouTube takes up 5-10% of my 1070, which could be used for a couple more frames. Forza 5 for example sits at 50-55 FPS so I wonder if I could hit 60 stable if I could get Chrome to only use the integrated (6700K). On a laptop with both you can simply allocate apps to different GPUs, but it doesn't seem to be an option for me. Do I need to plug the second monitor into the motherboard video out?

    A group has dedicated some web space to try to advertise at Elon Musk about their big f***ing field in Tulsa OK, ready for him to build his Cybertrucks on.

    hgpot got a reaction from dizmo in Oneplus 8 / 8 Pro / 8 Lite Listings Appear on Oppomart starting at $769/$799/$499   
    50W charging seems insane. It mentions 30T charging in the description for the Pro, but the specifications are what you posted here. My Core i7 laptop rarely hits that much from the power adapter. I use this to charge it, do you think it would support the 50W charging of the OnePlus 8 Pro? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S8SDD4D/
     
    I also think it's odd that there is such a small (3.9%) price difference between the standard and Pro, yet the Pro seems way better. And the lite doesn't seem to be a huge step down from the standard. Maybe the standard should/will be lower, more like $669.

    Finally a worthy replacement for my One M7 from a year ago. This phone features a stunning ID, lightning fast performance, and aside from a couple of small complaints... is damn near as good as it gets. I hope you guys enjoy this video because I feel like now, one year into doing phone reviews, this is about as good as we can make them... It's a lot of work, but if you guys enjoy it, then it's all worthwhile....
