    When do you think we can expect a 980Ti, hopefully that's a bit more reasonably priced...

    It's a YouTube issue. The exported video file is fine and does not freeze at 0:18.
    We're re-uploading so I'm going to have to pull this one down for now (if I don't, YouTube will see it as a duplicate upload and reject the new upload without the freeze).
     
     
    EDIT: New version uploaded now, should be fine. No 0:18 issue.

    @4:05 ...

    but you don't actually need it, as allmost all mac keyboards have dedicated shortcuts on F1 and F2 for brightness.
    @4:15

    wait, what? both mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts for mission control are in 'mission control'?!
    the keyboard shortcuts just also show up in the general keyboard shortcuts. I would be kinda idiotic if it weren't so ?!
    @4:26
    no you don't need a 3rd party plugin. you just use a different browser. or do you use Internet Explorer in Windows?
    @5:40
    sort by is NOT system wide. Not at all!
    @5:52
    no root directory for each drive? comon linus ... how long did you use the iMac really? 1 hour?

    @6:05
    no force refresh? why would I need a force refresh? when didn't a file popup the second you move it to a folder?
    If I copy stuff on my linux server with my notebook it shows up right the second the copy is done?!
    @6:15
    Finder wide? ... nope actaully you can change the settings for each folder. you can (if you wish) set it finder wide.
    @6:22
    no cut and paste? yeah right, no cut and paste, put move!
    just press cmd+c (copy) and cmd+alt+v (move). BOOOOOM!
    you don't want to use shortcuts?
    just open a new Finder Tab or window. this is my prefered way to move files anyway.
    @6:34
    because 4 options aren't sufficient to get to the superfolder?
    when would you need a superfolder anyway that isn't reachable by the back button, when you don't even know about the file system structure?

    funny how you corrected it for windows ...
    @6:55
    cause you have to use iPhoto to import pictures to your pc .... (no you don't)
    iPhoto is an image organizer. You use iPhoto do NOT deal with separate folders.
    @7:15
    maximize is available as well.
    But I will never get, why someone wants their browser to display content between two white walls.
    or black walls:

    @7:30
    F3 (mission control) + mosueclick must be really hard to use for a windows die hard ...
    @9:30
    middle click to mouse scroll costs money?
    funny how it just use it everyday without installing anything extra.
    @10:40
    actually the imac has two microphones

    And then reason why he refuses to use any on OS X.

    I just want to say, as someone who actively uses all OS types (Windows at work, Linux on my desktop, OSX and linux on my laptop), the unified vitual file system is just plain better, and heres my reasons why
    Reasons why 1 large virtual file system is better than multiple drives,The good about multiple drives.Good separation of concerns, emphasizes easy sorting.Um.. (help me here.. I can't actually think of anything else)The bad about multiple drivesDrive letters are not standard, remove one drive and add another and the letter the first had the second one could then be givenDrive letters are limited, 26 Letters, some DOS systems allow up to 32 mounts through the use of some symbols, but theres normally a hard limit set of 26If a drive is mounted as example D, then something refers to a file on D:/somefile.txt, then the drive is removed, another mounted as D:/ then the first drive is then mounted again, but can't take the assignment D:/ because it is in use the thing trying to access the file on D:/ won't find that file, because it is now E:/somefile.txtThe good about a virtual file systemDrives can be mounted anywhere, standard says drives should have their own folder under /media/, one for each drive being used, a temporary mountpoint /mnt can also be used if the drive is only temporary. Example: I have my media drive(actually just a partition that can be read by both OSX and Linux) mounted as /home/lutzee/media. It makes sense for me to have my media files in my home directory, the file permissions are inherited from the parent folder (my home folder).Allows for unambiguous use of different file systems to work togetherAllows for the easy creation of RAM Disks e.g: mkdir /mnt/ramdisk && mount -t tmpfs -o size=2g tmpfs /mnt/ramdiskAllows for easy movement of any key folder of the OS to be moved to another drive without fuss e.g: So you want /Windows/System32 to actually be on a different drive? Great, copy the files, delete the original and set the new drive to mount under /Windows/System32, no big deal.Allows for the mounting of things like ISO files files as part of the file system, no need for a 3rd party virtual disk drive. Just mount them as a directory and you are good to go.The bad about a virtual file systemIts not obvious what drive something is on unless you actually check the mount pointsNeeds some more hands on management some of the time, some environments manage mounts for you

    So the next logical thing is to do another set of videos that focuses on Ubuntu and the hardware foibles and recommendations for that system.

    I thought about adding my thoughts on some points that linus didnt get about OS X. He said that he disliked the filesystem because everything was in the same folder, well welcome to unix. Once you get used to it it becomes much better than windows drive based system. Especially helps to keep user junk to user places and prevents users flooding the system directories. Also I suspect that Linus does not use terminal on wiondows, OS X has decently good terminal and if you use something like iterm2 it becomes even better.

    You can install fonts by double clicking the font file on windows. well, there's an install button after but you don't need to drag it into the fonts folder like linus said.

    The up directory button isn't missing in windows.

    It was nice to get another windows users opinion on a potential switch to MAC, still not happening.
