Chri5 reacted to SinusSebastian in Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity
@LinusTech Most of us understand that this was a blindside, and good on you for standing up for your team.
Speaking directly about the data concerns, I do think it's important to take Steve's criticisms here heavily (and to an extent HU's). For the past 1-2 years, your videos have been enthusiastic and exciting for a lot of us in the prospect of Labs: a definitive place to find hard data to directly support the consumer.
If Labs is to match your vision, it won't be the amount you spend in equipment, but the surgical process in which you scrutinize and scrub your own findings. And this is all I'm (read: a single viewer) hoping you consider.
The errors in the videos are not a huge deal. You push a lot of videos, and mistakes in a high tempo environment will happen. Catching and correcting is the expected bare minimum, which you do. Reshooting really isn't feasible. Cutting content during final polish is a solution I would consider (such as GNs example with the Alienware build) where applicable.
I'm confident you'll take something from this and better your content and self from this. I've never been in this position so I have no idea what this must feel like. Looking forward to your next moves.

Firstly, welcome to the AMD team. I left the overpriced intel team a year ago and im so happy. The great thing about amd is the fact you get great performance at a great price with great options
An example? The MSI b450 tomahawk is an excellent ryzen 2000 series motherboard that is very capable of running your ryzen 3600. Not to mention it is cheaper than your x570 board. I have the tomahawk myself and will be upgrading to the 3700x very soon.

3200 cl16 is fine. Robert mentions theres a 1% between 3600 cl15 and it. And the cost is just not worth it. Get a good reliable 3200 cl16 and don't worry any further.

Actually the newer shipment of boards should all have the new update, as well as before buying you can contact the seller to see if the board will have the new update before purchase. Computer Repair shops will also update the bios for you for usually a low price and sometimes even for free.

There isn't much difference, the Gigabyte one has wifi built in but the MSI has bios flashback
But basically they are very similar boards but some people think MSI has better overclocking
If you have a 1700x that you could use, the gigabyte board would work as well

For those of you who care - I ended up getting the XPS 15 to try first as there is a 30 day return policy and they pay for return shipping. Razer does not have that/.
Anyways I'm loving the XPS 15 - its dead silent while browsing the net or watching videos.

Reinstall windows.
Don't bitch, a 14YO doesn't need a high end gaming PC.
Ask you parents for jobs, they may give you money for it.
Get a paper route.

Chri5 got a reaction from ThE_MarD in LG G3 or Oneplus One
That was one comprehensive post. I read it all and checked out the links. I don't have a huge concern with screen quality at the flagship level.
I was a victim of fear mongering in /r/oneplus so I've been looking around for new phones. Nothing really compares to the OPO and anything that does isn't quite worth it or has some other flaw... like touchwiz or lower battery life.
Thanks!
Your G3 seems like a beast

Chri5 reacted to ThE_MarD in LG G3 or Oneplus One
Heyyo,
Tbh I thought the LG G3 would have a great screen... but after reading deeper due to this thread? I found the technical issues with the screen here:
https://plus.google.com/photos/+supercurioFrançoisSimond/albums/6025967797182346385
So it's not the greatest screen but it's an ok screen. Pretty much all the smartphone screens won't produce the most accurate colors and have a lot of color saturation but such is life unless you're probably buying some ridiculous $1k smartphone that isn't made of gold lol... then again, is there any smartphones with accurate colors? I know the Samsung Galaxy S6 is maybe the only phone that tromps the iPhone 6's screen.
Although... if we look at the LG G3 compared to the Galaxy S5...
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Screen-comparison-iPhone-6-vs-Galaxy-S5-vs-G3-vs-One-M8-vs-iPhone-5s_id3810
The LG G3 is still a better screen than the Galaxy S5. More accurate colors albeit the contrast isn't quite as good.
If you were buying a smartphone for a screen though? The Galaxy Note 4 or the Galaxy S6 are among the best Android phones right meow.
As for color temperature between the LG G3 and the OnePlus One? The OnePlus One has better color temperature of 7066 vs the G3's 7099... so the gap isn't insane or anything though... but the G3 has better overall color accuracy of 3.60 good RGBCMY score vs the OPO's 5.1 average RGBCMY score.
I dunno, in the end? Both the LG G3 and OnePlus One are awesome phones... as for longevity? I haven't really heard reports of OnePlus One's dying after only one year (we just passed their one year birthday) and I've been more than happy with my OPO... In the end? Odds are unless you drop the phone on the ground a lot? The lithium polymer battery in smartphones will die before the phone itself. Such is the weakness of lithium polymer batteries just like lithium ion batteries before it.
Looking at teardown guides for the OPO? It's actually really easy to replace the battery which is good in the long run.

Luckily? The LG G3 also has a really easy battery replacement which is also good in the long run.
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/LG+G3+Battery+Replacement/32334
.... hey wait, did your first post really say you want to sell your OnePlus One for an LG G3? Really? That's more of a side-step or potentially on how you like the button layout and such a potential down-grade... to be honest either way? that's a waste of money. It's not going to be an extremely different device... and I don't know if you game or not but any games with 3d models will run worse on the LG G3 due to the screen resolution... but in the end? That's my opinion and yours to make of it what you will.
If you're clumsy like me and don't want to risk the health of the OnePlus One on a drop? Get the Ringke Fusion case. It's freaking amazing and very slim form factor plus it's got a clear version or smoke haze depending on which you prefer. I went with the smoke.

Screen on time 2h 45m 37s, 100% brightness... this was a short day though, when I was gone for Easter holiday, I used it for 16+ hours and it didn't die on me, but got to around 10% or something and that was when I put my sim card in my iPhone 4s just for phonecalls and music.

@Everyone else:
What's the difference between the BX100 and MX200? I've stuck with the samsung evos thus far because of the TLC memory seeming to last longer.

Some websites don't offer the other methods. Google is the best for backup codes and other methods of 2 factor though.
I barely watch TV and don't find wireless charging to be efficient enough yet.
Do you mind posting your Screen on Time at the end of the day? Its in settings > Battery > Screen.
I saw on reddit that most people don't get more than 3-4 hours on it. Do you run any battery saving things? Different kernal? Greenify?
Will probably cost a finger or two $700+?

I can get a LG G3 for $410+tax new
I can sell my Oneplus one for $450
I'm worried about the Oneplus One not lasting very long as I use authenticator on it a lot and am worried I'll get locked out if my phone stops starting one day.
Is the LG G3 a step down or a step up?
Which would you go for and why?
I know the G3 has:
Better screen
Better camera
Better build
but the Oneplus One has:
Better battery life (1-3 more hours of screen on time)
Better OS (cyanogenmod 12 is pretty quick)
What I value most is the battery life and the speed.
I was also thinking of getting a 6000/7500mAh extended battery for the LG G3 that makes it one phat phone. I'm not sure how I'll like that though. I wear somewhat tight work pants and it might get a little annoying.

Chri5 reacted to Praxis727 in Which of These SSDs Would You Choose?
A friend of mine used to work in the local shop here and that is all he would recommend to people. Other then that I have never personally owned one. I have never heard any horror stories tho so no new is good new. I am the same way which is why I went samsung. Mostly because I wasn't sure which way to go. Once again when I think about the difference in price range tho... Even if it doesn't work out at 100-150 it is a minor setback. I think of all that video card money I could have saved on a something that will likely work just as well as the one I bought. My brother got the same one as me also at a deal. 250 after tax and shipping. Makes me wish I would have waited.

Chri5 reacted to Cubical Productions in Building a Video Editors Computer
I wouldn't know too much about fans and such, so I won't make any suggestions.
As for the GPU, VRAM is used for the Frame Buffer, where processed images are stored while they are being used by the program. Typically, the more images processed by an editing program, the more that VRAM starts to fill up. So when you first launch your editor, everything is smooth, but as more and more resources are used up by the editing program over time, the program starts to lag and can even crash when you attempt something too big and intense for whatever VRAM you may have left to use.
Personally, when I'm editing large blocks of footage, my program will begin to lag because I only have effectively 1GB of VRAM to use for processed frames in the preview. It's not uncommon for my editor to crash if I've been going for any more than 2 hours straight with the editor open.
