    Oh well, now you have me started...
    So literally, there's no one I know who's at all tech savy, except one of my friend's Dad's but apart form that...
    So back in the day (a few years ago) as I was getting into computers, I didn't have my own, so, as anyone would, I stole my sisters laptop . So I, with permission, downloaded minecraft as my friend told me it was the game to have (back when it was still in alpha - he was right). A few months later, she accused me of "ruining her laptop by playing minecraft". This is regardless of the fact she frequently got music and films from... 'Shady' sources. Later that month she broke her harddrive - she blamed that on me to because of minecraft.

    Probably requires a lot of adapters just to start the engine/motor. Has the smallest fuel tank/battery, so the car can be as thin as possible.

    I'd wait off and upgrade to the latest intel core generation w/ new mobo and DDR4 RAM.  But, if your desperate to upgrade, go for GPU (1070) is what I'd say.

    I think they're just misinformed and unwilling to take the time to become informed on the situation. They feel like they're "sticking it to the man" or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
    Like you said, it's theft.

    xvantok reacted to Bitfenix in How do i get sponsors?   
    Have a plan, a vision.
    Explain to the vendor WHY your project is different from any one else putting parts in a case and show it on a forum.
    What makes your project stand out from others.

    You don´t need fancy renderings, pen and paper + photo of that does good, but explain and try to get the reader to see the same thing you see.

    Prepare to back your vision up with what you have done earlier.
    Do not count on getting sponsored in your 1st build.
     
    A regular sponsor email starts with "i´m putting a Intel 5960x and 52 Titan blacks into..." -- that isn´t anything spectacular, anyone with a load of money or credit can do that. Its HOW you put that cpu and gpu´s together that matters.
    Show the vendor, my idea is this - not what hardware you are using, everyone can put parts in a case.

    On a personal note, i am a modder myself and also get alot of emails from other modders about sponsorships, 99% of my personal sponsoring is by the vendor approaching me.
    And 99% of the people i sponsor as a Bitfenix rep. is the ones i find, not the ones who asks me.

    So do something to make you visible, what you can do, not what you say you can do

    Its not WHAT you do
    Its HOW you do it

    My mom got an S6, and then ordered a case. She couldn't get the phone in the case, so she called Dad to get it in. He is cramming it in. and he hits buttons. HE PUTS IT IN FASTBOOT. THEN GOT IT INTO LINUX TERMINAL AND WHIPED IT. And that was an accident. I'm in my room, playing heavily modded Minecraft IN MY ROOM. I somehow get blamed for what he did. WTF

    xvantok reacted to -TesseracT- in Disappointed at LTT's unboxing video on the Define S.   
    NOTE : Please don't complain about something as irrelevant as my grammar.
     
    I've been watching Linus Tech Tips for a many years, and have been around on the forum since 2013. I don't plan on ever leaving, but Iwant to express a recent experience with the channel.
     
    If you watched the latest WAN show you'd know that Linus and Luke were discussing a new case from Fractal Design; the Define S. Since I do not watch Vessel, I didn't know what they'd released a video unboxing of it. Apparently, many followers gave them a lot of flak for doing a unboxing that many admittedly didn't find to be very professional. Linus' argument against a full review was that the case didn't deserve one. They stated that the case was simply too uninteresting and boring.
     
    I disagree with that. I find the case very interesting, not just because I happen to like it very much, but because I think it's important to the industry. Jay did a 20 minute review that was filled but nothing but new things to say about the case. The many things that were different from the R5. The fact that it has a big panel where you can mount reservoirs on and that it has a dedicated spot for mounting a pump is amazing! This isn't the first time the industry has seen something like this but the fact that Fractal are offering a relatively cheap case that can do this is very cool and other companies should follow suite.
     
    I thought that LTT had a good relationship with Fractal Design. Both I and @Suffokation agreed that If we were the heads of Fractal, we would've been very disappointed by such a poor quality video of a case that frankly deserves more. I am honestly disappointed at Linus. He could've made a very short 3-minute review showing the differences between the Define S. and Define R5, that I'm sure would benefit both the manufacturer, the consumer and them selves more. 
     
    So Linus, you're telling me that reviewing baby monitors and fucking lamps is of more importance than properly review a case that offers never-before-seen features on a case that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? You did do a video, but you dropped the frikkin side panel!!! There is no excuse of showing that. Don't tell me it wasn't your fault, it shouldn't have been in the video. Show some damn respect to the engineers of the case that spent many hours on it. The point is that the video was careless.

    Nah man, you just posted when most people where online and so didn't see it in the "new posts section". It no one sees it while it's on there then the majority of the time, it gets little attention so you just gotta try again when more people are on. The majority of the audience are American so aim it for a time when there more likely to be on.
