    I'm being extremely nit-picky here but I'd switch that PSU to a EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2. It's a better unit in most regards.

    Mightyinvader reacted to ShaithEatery in Issue with the "Like if you want to see *x*" strategy   
    I know some here will make long, drawn out posts about some minor thing that bothers them about LMG videos, so I'm going to try to keep it as concise as possible:
     
    I don't like how the intro to every video now asks people to like the video if they want to see something in the future, and then at the end still ask them to also like the video if they, well, liked the video itself.  If I didn't like the video, but want to see what is teased at the beginning, why should I like the video if I didn't like the content of the video itself?  I'd prefer them to go back to saying something like "stay tuned!" or "stay subscribed to see *x*!" because in all the cases I can recall the teased video asking for a like if you want to see it has always come, and I'd be surprised if it really is due to likes.
     
    I watch on Vessel, and will continue to watch as the videos are entertaining, but I just felt like mentioning this one small thing as my own feedback.  Does anyone else share this view on it?

    Erm I'd like to point out for you that using the vlogs as a indication of how LMG works and operates is flawed.

    There's always some people who think every tech reviewer gets paid to do reviews with cool stuff and so on.
    Linus simply states that's not what's going on, and if you don't believe that Linus is giving fair reviews, then stop watching them. But he says it in a nice manner. Kudos to Linus for even giving an answer. It must be hard to cope with people who wants to argue against what Linus is doing.

    computer engineering requires allot of the hard academic courses in highschool like pre calc, chem etc to then apply to the program in university or college. however if you find those courses a little challenging there are always IT guys, allot of jobs for iT guys in vancouver at least

    Wireless doorbell with the speaker wires going through the motor(I assume its a motor on a dong, could be a speaker) instead of the speaker. You might need an amplifier but it should work simply enough like that. Its jenky but it should work. Might need a few diodes (leds would work) to make sure the motor only recieves DC current instead of AC however

    Playing ARMA, STO and a few indi games, its pretty damn immersive. Though I use it mostly for 3D design work I gotta say that I'm very pleased with it for the few games I play.

    Hearthstone was fine. The tablet got pretty warm when I played a couple months back, but there wasn't any lag/framerate loss. 
    Everything about it is fast. Speed is limited only by animation lengths. 
    To be honest, I don't get why people make such a big deal out of the light bleed. Mine does have some light bleeding around the edges, but I never notice it unless I'm looking for it. 
     
    I have the black version, and the flexing is minimal - nothing to be worried about. I never got creaking noises, contrary to Notebookcheck's evaluation. The tablet's been knocked to hard, tiled floor a couple times. Its only battle scar is an unsightly, small silver dent on the corner. 
     
    The speakers are good for a tablet - the bass is somewhat present and the treble is restrained. For professional audio folks, it sounds like there's an accentuation at 500 Hz - the sound isn't exactly "rich," but it's warm. The headphone output is missing some clarity in the high-end and it seems to have a slight dip (0.5 - 1 dB?) around the 500 Hz - 1000 Hz range. 
     
    The screen is beautifully sharp and it has accurate colors, not oversaturated like some Samsung AMOLED displays are. According to Notebookcheck.net, the color temperature is completely neutral (6500k?). 
     
    Any problems/annoying bugs I've had with YouTube are obviously not the tablet's fault, so there's nothing to say there. It tends to buffer more on the tablet than my computer, but it also defaults to a higher resolution (720p instead of 480p) than on my computer, so that's not the tablet's issue. I watched an entire Witcher 3 walkthrough on this baby, and it was good. 
     
    Battery life is not as good as an iPad's, but it's still good and more than sufficient for my needs. 
    I bought a horrible third-party case, so I've got no recommendations there. 
     
    The only times I have problems with the RAM are using a DS Emulator for about one hour due to the emulator's memory leak. 
     
    Feel free to ask anything else you might have on your mind. And use Notebookcheck - http://www.notebookcheck.net/HTC-Google-Nexus-9-Wi-Fi-32-GB-Tablet-Review.130446.0.html

    Mightyinvader got a reaction from kbhasi in Buying pc parts when the canadian dollar is literally the worst...   
    So I want to build a new pc, I was thinking 2500$ for the pc, keyboard,mouse and 1440p monitor. However with the Canadian dollar being so crap, putting a 980ti in sucker might not be in the budget, hell the 980 is more expensive now then it was on release it would seem, or at least not price drop... So I was wondering what exactly to do? Wait it out till holidays and hope our dollar fixes itself and catch some deals? Or will our dollar be shit for quite some time? It would seem that the difference between 2.5k USD and 2.5k CAD for a computer is night and day. Anyone else hesitant to buy fearing they could have had a much better machine had they waited it out? It's really hard to have the money to build a pc and wait it out when the pc your using is a crappy 2009 prebuilt HP computer with amd interggrated graphics that struggle to run minesweeper

    Mightyinvader reacted to Briggsy in Why did people hate Vista?   
    If you talk to microsoft fanboy's, it was the fault of hardware companies for not providing proper driver support, even though Longhorn Beta was in circulation for years before it launched as Vista. Aside from that, Vista was incredibly bloated. When they updated the OS from 6.0 (Vista) to 6.1 (Windows 7), they cut out a lot of the bloat and streamlined the entire Backend of Windows. Microsoft also took on the task of making generic drivers to cover most - if not all - common hardware, so that by the time Windows 7 rolled out, Microsoft were not reliant on external driver support.

    It didn't perform very well. It was very buggy. It didn't act nicely to software from Windows XP. (Depending on the software.) It tried to do a lot, but ended up doing very little. Its design wasn't very appealing. Although Aero was neat, it was like it tried to morph out of Windows XP, but then was cut short. (Subjective.) It wasn't intuitive.  Often-times you'd get prompted by the User Account Control (UAC) when doing even mundane things. Like opening up Disk Defragmenter.  The list goes on.

    Here is a store review.
     
    "I walked into the store looking for VGA to Display port adapter and I had a TigerDirect sales associate tell me that the part wasn't available. After 3 minutes of browsing the store I was able to locate the part myself. I walked up to the same sales rep and he told me that 'the truck' just came in this morning. Obviously he doesn't know anything about IT or being humble. But the icing on the cake is when I was walking to pay for the item another sales rep standing by the cashier wanted to hand me a paper so he can make commission off the15 dollar part. Pathetic."
