I used to. Now I put all those stickers along the edge of my desk.
No way in hell I'm sticking anything to them glass panels.

The ASUS one is especailly problematic, LTT did a video a couple weeks ago "secret shopping our sponsors", and although the ASUS experience was terrible, they still got 3/5 stars. Linus then went on WAN show explaining why (which again is not really fixing your mistakes, most people that watched the LTT video don't watch WAN show) and the WAN show statement was pretty much entirely marketing BS, you can tell Linus prepared something to say to dismiss the critics, while the true reason very well could have been ASUS being the title sponsor for LTX. Going on WAN show over and over again defending your videos "it's not because they paid us money" becomes hard to believe at some point. Credibility for LMG is at an all time low, either they are absolutely incompetent when it comes to tech or they are much more biased by material relations than they want to admit.

Recently upgraded setup. Migrated from AM4 to AM5...
New case too.
 
- AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB with 3 x Phanteks T30
- Asus ROG Strix B650E-F
- 4 x 16 GB G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 (cl36)
- MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio (10GB)
- Asus ROG Herculx
- Phanteks NV7
- 11 x Antec Prizm 120 mm
- 3 NVME, 3 SSD, 1 HDD
 
A word about the NV7...
Daisy-chainable fans are an absolute MUST when kitting out this case. Cable management was an absolute NIGHTMARE
finding space to cram cables for FOURTEEN fans...and the ARGB Antec fans had two cables each. I almost couldn't get
the back panel on. It's a good thing I pretty much have everything I need already installed, so there's no need to mess around
in there unless something breaks.

So I figured this out thanks to this video. I followed the instructions and didn't have to reformat anything and now I am ready for windows 11. Hope this helps someone else out.
 

This is Nintendo we're talking about.  They kinda have a penchant for iterating on their mobile devices.
We'll definitely see at least one more Switch SKU in its lifetime.

well i don't really know what else to say, they also reworked some design and moved some feature options to the menu at the top right and basically reworked its framework. that top right menu is also where you can activate dark mode. you first have to sign up for the new youtube trough the link i provided as source though. i have been using shitty extensions until now, it finally is here way to late tbh. some screenshots below.

Didn't make any file changes.  Running it just as I downloaded it.
What files do people change? And what effect does it have on performance?
 
 
@rentaspoon
Thanks for that tidbit about the bleeding out...I was wondering how to use the health packs after picking them up.

Performance is greatly improved on my end.
The regional servers thing may have had some kind of effect on that.
 
Played at 1440p, Very High settings...
 
It was a laggy, glitchy mess for me before.

the only thing that looks good in white is morgan freeman.

from what I've seen, the pads EVGA sent are 2mm thick

I like it as well.

So...guess I am the only one that likes GFE?

ohh, well thank you very much:)
ps. i'm using gtx 1070 armor 

I have both...and I can wholeheartedly recommend the Nano S.
 
It's SO much easier to build in, and there won't be any of the compromises that you may (or may not) have to make when building in the 250D.
If you're thinking of using any AIOs or custom liquid-cooling loops, you have more options with the Nano S.
 
Check out my recent Nano S build... http://pcpartpicker.com/b/NPPscf

An attempt at a tl;dr of (cryptographic) hashing vs encryption. I'm mainly just going to stick to theory since real life always makes things a bit messier.
 
(Cryptographic) Hashing: You want to take some arbitrary data and map it to a fixed-size output in a way that is computationally infeasible to reverse the computation no matter the circumstances. One common use for hashing is authentication. For example, with passwords and user authentication, if you've got a user trying to login to your service, you don't really care what their password is. You just care that they enter the same thing every time. You have no intention of "unhashing" to figure out what the original information was. So, you only store their hashed password in your database. Then, every time they login, you rehash and check that the hash matches.
 
Encryption: You want to take some arbitrary data and encode it to some other arbitrary data in a way that is feasible to reverse *if* you happen to know some kind of secret. That secret could be an AES key or RSA private key or, well, there are a good amount of cryptographic schemes. Anyway, encryption is used between two parties that would like to communicate securely.
 
To tie it together in a small example: Say you want to buy something on onlinestore.com. Hashing plays a role in authenticating you to let you login, and encryption plays a role in transmitting sensitive information that needs to be decoded like your payment information.

Even shorter:
(Cryptographic) Hashing: Not used for communication. Used for authentication/data integrity/etc
Encryption: Used for communication.
 
Again, the reality is a bit more gray and certainly more complicated in implementation, but I think this is a decent compromise between information and brevity.
 
Edit: Wanted to clarify I'm talking specifically about cryptographic hashing, not general hashing. Also found out password hashing is typically done server side, not client side.

On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
 
The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
 
Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
 
NOTHING.
 
The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
 
The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
 
I hope this clears things up.

Every one in this thread is thinking of multi gpu all wrong, for instance i have crossfire R7 360, 360+360=720, so obviously i have the power of an nVidia Geforce Gt720, meanwhile 480+480=960 so obviously the 1080 is still faster, and to my justify my earlier point that Fermi is the best nVidia architecture because of it's async hardware support 580+580=1160, 1160>1080, confirmed on LTT forums that SLI GTX 580s is the best 4k gaming setup /thread.

I tip my hat off to you Nvidia. I tip my hat off to you.

Slight bump to the score...

I'm kinda that way with my sabertooth motherboard lol.

The game can not run at 1080p. 720p upscale
 

I added the -multigpu command at Steam. (At Steam, go to your library, right click at the "SteamVR Performance Test", left click at "Properties",  left click at "Set Launch Options...", and type -multigpu)
