  1. Since it has been 10 days and not a single admin has responded I'll give everyone a quick update. The Android App is now live- in Beta on Android. They plan to change the "quality" options to resolutions in the future. For now it doesn't seem like contributors will get any access related boons on Vessel. The irony here is Vessel has amazing support and quick responses. They had a short exchange with me and responded 3 times via email within 7 hours, whereas it's been 10 days here. Be sure to email support on vessel with any ideas or complaints, just be nice about it. They are extremely courteous and appreciate the feedback.
  2. Men in Linus... Maybe Men in Black was a bad idea?
  3. You're absolutely right, I've managed forums previously... Most likely not on the scale of this one (8,000 members max) It's a hard job and the admins don't get enough credit. People want a democracy on sites like these yet cry for dictatorship to get rid of the "pests" a LOT of the time blame is placed on the admins for the actions of other people. People don't realize that Admins aren't here to be police, therapists AND judges. Admins are here to make sure we're up and running correctly and there are no major issues and in their free time help out the community. I really don't understand the online mentality. IRL you may call the cops if someone hits you... BUT would you blame them for letting you get hit in the first place? The best course of action any user can take is to talk to a staff member about their ideas and feelings of how things are and should be, and, to do their due diligence and let the admins know when/where there may be a problem they missed. I haven't been here very long, and, I don't post as often as I should ( Can't stand tapatalk and I'm always on mobile) BUT I still appreciate you admins and all you do for us. Keep up the good work Thank you for taking the criticism so well That's always a plus
  4. Ha! I've been there.I've been asking around about water-cooling a card with an AIO... Today I decided WTH I'll give it a shot and ordered the bracket to fit my card and was super stoked to check it out So much so, I forgot to order the AIO
  5. EDIT: The Beta version of the Android app is now live, so this is out-dated. If you experience problems with the app, you can still attempt this method. I've found a way to get vessel to work with Android using Dolphin Browser. You'll need to go to vessel.com go to the settings on Dolphin and switch to desktop mode in order to sign in. once you load the main page it will be broken and mostly blank, wait a minute for it to load then tap on the screen at random to load a video link you couldn't see, as soon as you hear it start playing tap the settings again and switch to android /mobile mode and refresh the page. That should load the video and page. To get full screen to work, tap on the video ad at the beginning. It will open a new tab and pause the video. You'll be able to click the full screen button once you tab back. Tested on android 5.0.2
  6. Can we get any updates to what's going on? I'm still not pulling the trigger on vessel right now. No ETA on an app/android support? quality options? Downloadable videos? and the big one... Will contributors get free access? I would rather contribute to you here where the money goes straight to you... Thought about doing in-house releases at the same time as vessel locked in contributor forums? Possibly making higher tier contributor video uploads have no ads and maybe some out-takes etc to fill their slot? What made you choose to go with Vessel instead of in-house solutions like I had mentioned? Server capability? Honestly, Vessel has almost hurt you in this instance... I've been a huge fan of the show, I comment frequently on YT Mainly because I'm on mobile and swapping to the forums is a pain... I oft ask questions/comment on twitter as well and I've always wanted to contribute, but, as a starving college student it's not always that easy. I've recently decided that I'm perfectly capable of supporting LMG and I was going to become a contributor... BUT Vessel is cheaper AND gets early video access... That's a no brainer right? That's the problem, I'd rather support LMG more on here, but, it seems the "immediate" perks of vessel are nicer. This has caused me to delay my decision on where/how to help out LMG.
  7. Linus, I love what LTT has done over the years, I've liked almost every video you've put up... BUT, (yes there had to be a but in there) I didn't think this one was needed. At one point you said " take out all the screws you can find and pull it apart" Why couldn't that be said for the entire video? may be a bit overly critical with this video, but, I think it's relatively simple common sense to clean your cards every once in a while and if they are running really hot under normal load (and they didn't used to do so) do a deeper cleaning. I felt this could have been a Techquickie video. This just seemed like a waste of time for the LTT channel.
  8. When you realize Geek-squad is a sham. When you should be on the payroll of any business you frequent giving them advice/fixing their problems.
  9. Thanks! Irony here is I even looked at the stickied announcement that said use the search function lol! I'll use Google from now on. Regardless It's a shame to see most of the community doesn't seem to care. The OP I found only had 7 replies and very little continuing discussion. Sad day. either way this IS a duplicate topic for those who don't yet know. The Original topic can be found HERE
  10. Maybe, I searched for it last night on the forum and couldn't find it manually. Alternatively when I tried to search the forum I got this error: There appears to be an error with the database.
  11. Recently the FTC has filed a complaint against AT&T for throttling Data when users pass their allotted bandwidth. If there in a win here we could see a domino effect, plausibly spreading to ISPs that offer "Unlimited" bandwidth (Like mine SuddenLink) that is really just a cap the "average consumer" won't hit. The Federal Trade Commission filed a federal court complaint against AT&T Mobility, LLC, charging that the company has misled millions of its smartphone customers by charging them for “unlimited” data plans while reducing their data speeds, in some cases by nearly 90 percent. The FTC’s complaint alleges that the company failed to adequately disclose to its customers on unlimited data plans that, if they reach a certain amount of data use in a given billing cycle, AT&T reduces – or “throttles” – their data speeds to the point that many common mobile phone applications – like web browsing, GPS navigation and watching streaming video – become difficult or nearly impossible to use. “AT&T promised its customers ‘unlimited’ data, and in many instances, it has failed to deliver on that promise,” said FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez. “The issue here is simple: ‘unlimited’ means unlimited.” According to the FTC’s complaint, AT&T’s marketing materials emphasized the “unlimited” amount of data that would be available to consumers who signed up for its unlimited plans. The complaint alleges that, even as unlimited plan consumers renewed their contracts, the company still failed to inform them of the throttling program. When customers canceled their contracts after being throttled, AT&T charged those customers early termination fees, which typically amount to hundreds of dollars. The FTC alleges that AT&T, despite its unequivocal promises of unlimited data, began throttling data speeds in 2011 for its unlimited data plan customers after they used as little as 2 gigabytes of data in a billing period. According to the complaint, the throttling program has been severe, often resulting in speed reductions of 80 to 90 percent for affected users. Thus far, according to the FTC, AT&T has throttled at least 3.5 million unique customers a total of more than 25 million times. According to the FTC’s complaint, consumers in AT&T focus groups strongly objected to the idea of a throttling program and felt “unlimited should mean unlimited.” AT&T documents also showed that the company received thousands of complaints about the slow data speeds under the throttling program. Some consumers quoted the definition of the word “unlimited,” while others called AT&T’s throttling program a “bait and switch.” Many consumers also complained about the effect the throttling program had on their ability to use GPS navigation, watch streaming videos, listen to streaming music and browse the web. The complaint charges that AT&T violated the FTC Act by changing the terms of customers’ unlimited data plans while those customers were still under contract, and by failing to adequately disclose the nature of the throttling program to consumers who renewed their unlimited data plans. FTC staff worked closely on this matter with the staff of the Federal Communications Commission. The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 5-0. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The case will be decided by the court. The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 2,000 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC’s website provides free information on a variety of consumer topics. Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to press releases for the latest FTC news and resources.

  12. Those were some really sexy cards, I hate the fact I haven't been able to keep up with the last few gens of tech. This would surely help me catch up a bit.
