Notice how the person in the video using the device was not the person who reviewed it. I'm going to expand this comment a bit more A dark room does help. It increases your tolerances for other issues which is good. I did fiddle with the camera a lot, and changed my configuration many times The tracking was ok but not as good as the others Sassy. None of the actual testing was done in that room. Rest assured it was done in a room with no reflective picture frames

Just gonna say this - I probably won't be able to be around but there will be someone from the mod team that will go through this The ban hammers will be heavy, and well equipped. I will also defend their use. Debate - Don't fight Contrast - Don't have a pissing contest Be Excellent to each other - Don't be a dick

"But it makes up for it with awesome mounting implementation which makes it feel more natural, like putting on a helmet or a hat" Did you miss this bit? Perceptible weight does not equal actual weight. Just because a heavier system is better at distributing weight doesn't mean it's lighter.. But it might mean it feels better

I'm so happy someone gifed this

Hey there! We will be looking into this as soon as possible!

@Enderman That's what a dock is http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/best-docking-stations I have no issue with lots of USB C. Lot's of USB C is great. I'm also not gonna replace everything I have in order to make them work natively with my new laptop. Therefore there will be TONS of adapters everywhere, which I don't like. I would have appreciated a lot of USB C and atleast SOME other native connectors.. Adapters suck. I'm happy you're stoked for the new I/O and are a trumpeter of the future, that's awesome. But this I/O Setup will be an issue for people. Say what you want - opinions are allowed, these are mine

Main News Topics World’s Largest Solar Project Would Generate Electricity 24 Hours a Day, Power 1 Million U.S. Homes Source 1: http://www.ecowatch.com/worlds-largest-solar-project-nevada-2041546638.html Source 2: California-based energy company SolarReserve announced plans for a massive concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in Nevada that claims to be the largest of its kind once built. The $5 billion endeavor would generate between 1,500 and 2,000 megawatts of power, enough to power about 1 million homes About as much as a nuclear power plant or the 2,000 megawatt Hoover Dam involves at least 100,000 mirrored heliostats that capture the sun's rays and concentrates it onto 10 towers equipped with a molten salt energy storage system. The molten salt, heated to more than 1,000 degrees, then boils water and creates a steam turbine that can drive generators 24/7. appeal of CSP systems is that solar power can be used after sunset. construction probably won't begin for another two or three years. Once construction begins, Smith estimated the project should create about 3,000 jobs for about seven years. the company will also have to build a new transmission infrastructure to carry the energy to market, and the generated power will likely will be "exported to the California market." two potential sites on federal land in Nye County have been shortlisted. Some environmentalists are concerned about the environmental impact of such a project. https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/56eutc/and_so_the_antiasw_bullshit_begins/d8paj6w Samsung to Note 7 Owners: Here’s $100 for your Phone Source 1: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/675354-samsung-to-note OP: hey_yo_ Source 2: https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-recall-galaxy-note-7-again-consumer-p Samsung said it will give $100 in credit at "carrier or retail outlets" to customers who turn in their Note 7 for another Samsung phone, starting Thursday afternoon The offer comes after Samsung and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission once again issued a recall for the Galaxy Note 7 The main goal here seems to be keeping people within the Samsung ecosystem (in addition to the obvious token gesture of money for their trouble) "We appreciate the patience of our consumers, carrier and retail partners for carrying the burden during these challenging times," said Tim Baxter, chief operating officer of Samsung Electronics America. "We are committed to doing everything we can to make this right." Some carriers have already given out a $25 bill credit for switching out their phone for another Samsung device, and customers who took advantage of that offer can get another $75. Customers who opt for a full refund will get $25. Likewise, customers who switch to another brand will only get $25 All US carriers are offering customers the choice to swap out the device for an entirely different phone.

Dai Chia-peng, general manager of the automation technology development committee of Foxconn, said during an interview with local Chinese media that those robots are basically made by Foxconn itself, some parts like servo motors and reducers that come from other parties. deployed to Foxconn's manufacturing base in Zhengzhou, a panel factory in Chengdu, and computer and peripherals factories in Kunshan and Jiashan. Foxconn can produce 10,000 robots annually those robots are all potential replacements for human labor. For the Kunshan factory alone, Foxconn has cut 60,000 employees. Prior to this, labor costs in mainland China were lower than robots; therefore, Foxconn maintained nearly one million workers. with the increase of labor costs and the younger generation's lack of interest in production line work, many companies have launched huge investments in automation. Foxconn has expressed interest in acquiring other robot manufacturers (though they haven’t specified any specific brands) They also plan to build robots for medical and health applications Valve Shows off new VR Controller Prototypes Source 1: http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/12/13264950/valve-vive-vr-controllers-new-p Picture of Prototype Biggest difference is that the new controllers can detect when you open and close your hand Allowing you to grip and drop objects in game Looks like controllers are designed to be used while strapped to the palm of the hand Better than having to grip the Vive’s current controllers all of the time No ETA on a release BMW Puts Self-Driving in the spotlight with New 5 Series Source 1: http://newatlas.com/bmw-5-series-seventh-generation/45896/ Source 2: more to the 5 Series than just a set of radar-driven cruise control systems Features typical lane-keeping assist and cross traffic alerts Also takes care of acceleration, steering and braking up to 210 km/h (130 mph) Using a camera mounted on the front, the system will also automatically adapt to changing speed limits, although drivers can force the car to push 15 km/h (9 mph) above it if they want Important to note that BMW takes no responsibility for the speeding tickets you may incur if you use that feature Controlled by the driver, so the autonomous drive isn’t technically at fault there Not much further information New 5 series releases on Feb 11, 2017 Star Citizen Single Player Delayed Indefinitely Source 1: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/674373-star-citizen OP: patrickjp93 Source 2: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/237434-star-citizen-single-player-delayed-in Cloud Imperium Games has announced that Star Citizen’s single-player campaign will be delayed indefinitely Reason being is that there are huge chunks of it still unfinished CIG had originally promised that this mode would ship in 2016, but now that won’t be happening Slide courtesy of Kotaku, showing the “Primary Tech Hurdles” for the game Part of the problem comes from them overhauling their engine, which some CIG developers say it’s been more work than creating a new one from scratch Full game’s release date = ??????

Hallo everyone! I want to do a fun video on bonehead benchmarking where I test/benchmark insane scenarios.. Like 5000 nukes in Fallout 4, hundreds and hundreds of TNT cubes in minecraft, the classic huge amount of explody barrels in Crysis 1 and.... Iunno I want to do MORE CRAZY THINGS THAT BASICALLY CRASH YOUR COMPUTER.. But I'm out of ideas.. Plz halp?

Your Gauth IS and WAS off

Oh it actually doesn't matter much

I actually don't understand feedback these days. I swear people don't watch the video - Or if they do they just skip to graphs and ignore everything I say. "But this isn't the whole story and.. AMD fans.. before you head down into the comments and start screaming at me for being KIND OF a shill at this point.. we must recognize that the 1060 is 25 to 50% more expensive than the RX480 and that's where the conversation changes.. In the dollars per frame race the RX 480 wins EVERY SINGLE TIME." Then I just talk about how both the price and performance deltas are significantly different I didn't say the 480 was bad 1) " he said the 1060 walked all over the rx 480. The highest difference was 10 frames in a dx11 game. " I did.. That's because 10FPS is "walking all over something" 2) " When he went to give amd credit for something, his voice lowered a bit, and seemed hesitant. " You're hearing things you want to hear. Sure there was a tonality change, I was changing what I was talking about. Became hesitant? Come on dude.. I scripted my own video. I decided to put this in.. That's not hesitation. 3) Where's Vulkan (which is supported by Valve) or DX12, where the rx480 beats out the 1060? Vulkan came out like 2 days before the video was released. Due to editing scheduels and stuff our turn around time isn't that fast. Not only was I not even in the same country as our office when Vulkan was released but I didn't have time to completely re-do the video DX12 is a broken mess that is having support pulled from multiple games due to glitches and bugs. I have a video that I'm working on overiewing both of these cool but not ready technologies 4) Next up is how scarcely I see Linus criticize nVidia products anymore. It seems strange. He doesn't review GPUs anymore.. Maybe that's it? 5) Nest up is things that I've heard about involving nVidia and reviewers. Here's what I've pieced together: If a reviewer talks bad or puts a review criticizing nVidia, they don't get samples from nVidia anymore, and are discouraged. If a person leaves a good review though for nVidia, and make competitors look worse, they get more free stuff. Seeing as if we go with the talking I've heard that is industry standard for nVidia , and that Linus still receives items from nVidia, it is possible to conclude that he is creating a form of bias content. Where's our resident conspiracy theorist? We could use him here. We have a company of 13 people and a few contractors outside of that. You think 1 free GPU is worth risking our fanbase over? That is insanity and baseless. What might make an OUNCE of sense logically is if we were getting payouts but that is ALSO not happening. We are very transparent about what we're paid for. AMD has given us a lot more money for content than Nvidia has. Simple facts. 6) I've also seen a bunch of nVidia fanboys lurk around the comments section, copy pasting stuff from a site as a reply. LTT is becoming an nVidia fanboy magnet from this. I'm pretty sure nVidia fans don't like people that talk about amd beating nVidia in dx12 or Vulkan. This could also draw the conclusion that LTT is biased as well. So because our fans like nvidia we must like nvidia as well? We don't mind disagreeing with our fans. Hell Youtube seems to be thriving off of drama and controversy lately.. maybe we should do more of it. 7) My last and final piece of evidence is the channel's subscriber count. If LTT had 10k or 100k subs, nVidia wouldn't care as much about the channel. But LTT is one of the biggest channels out their, nearly at 3 million subscribers. If they criticize nVidia, nVidia would take quite the hit. In order to keep this from happening, nVidia most likely pays and gives free stuff to LTT to keep nVidia afloat. This is evidence? What? Your EVIDENCE is LITERALLY just our subscriber count? Nvidia doesn't pay us for reviews in any form. One of my more successful videos lately literally had a whole section in it where I went after them for mistreating their enthusiast audience. I'm open to criticism.. Especially when it's constructive. I'd be more than happy to address legitimate claims with legitimate evidence. This is not that. People want to be mad right now, AMD and the RX480 are the current flavor of the month and with good reason.. It's a wonderful card at a VERY appealing price point.. especially for how it performs. Be happy with your new card, if you bought one - then proceed to move on. There is no conflict here, you're just creating one.

Done! "winner" will be announced in video

Doesn't NEED one but it would afford you additional points

no

Sorta forgot to include that - good point - too late now though so... let's assuming we're using Linux shall we?
