  1. People shouldnt be surprised by this, they are owned by Sony and they have a history of this sort of thing.
  2. LTTs being aiming at the teen segment for ages now, it works, they have way more time then working adults. You might not like it anymore but it might be worth asking yourselves if you have just grown out of the types of jokes they make.
  3. Gonna be very annoyed if this ends up destroying LTT, very poor reaction by Linus. Expected better in all honesty. He clearly saw red and didnt think about the implications of his answer.
  4. I've got to the point where I just want the EGS store to fail, I am worried that other companies could see it as the standard and mimic it, anyone with a whole lot of money can just brute force their way into making all sorts of titles exclusive to their subpar platform that I dont want to be a part of. Its great that they have given away a lot but I cant see people staying on their platform, nothing motivates me to come back to it apart from exclusives and quite a large number of people will just wait for a year. EGS just seems like a money pit, once fortnite dries up I cant imagine they will want to keep a failing product losing hundreds of millions a year. Sure Unreal engine will keep them profiting overall but this just isnt sustainable. Its only a matter of time before the bean counters kick the doors down and start asking questions about how they are gonna turn this around. Honestly whats going to make this profitable aside from free give aways, exclusives and the sales dotted over the year. In the past year their main competition has smashed its all time login record and ingame record and likely sold the most games it ever has. With rumors of gamepass coming to it how can egs match that. It just seems like a failed project to me.
  5. Wonder how long before this comes to the UK as well, im fully expecting that I'll have to ditch my P30 Pro sadly. Hope this comes to the enterprise side as well, getting sims for our wireless emergency kits uses up time which could be saved when a site is hard down. If we just need to edit a config to get it to work that would be fantastic.
  6. Honestly I'm not surprised its Ericsson I'm not sure who else put up a decent effort to get the contract
  7. Part of me wants to go back to when I just had a ati radeon 6450 and an i3 2120. I miss those days of fighting with ini files to squeak out every fraction of a fps increase, but these days I dont have the time to modify files. The balances of life changes, now I have money but little time. 

  8. I got my new motherboard this morning and got really nostalgic all of a sudden, the pc I built back in 2014 impacted my life massively, I wont go into details but if you knew me from my old news days on this forum then you will remember how amazing it all was. A lot has changed since I used to be so immersed in tech but I wanted to go back and look at my old parts vs my new parts starting with my motherboard. So this is the first pc part I got, the Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H The most insane deal, it was £70, brand new, the person that bought it got a amd cpu and messed up and panic sold it so cheap, this board was way out of my budget at the time but at £70 it was a massive steal and at that point I was honestly awe struck but how beautiful I thought it was, it was my first step into computers, the first part of my journey. The picture was taken with a Nikon D80 with a fixed 35mm if I remember correctly, unfortunately that camera was stolen. And now we have the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro taken with a huawei p30 pro(if its blurry its gyazo being crap just click the picture for higher res) Its the future, it looks as different as a motherboard can be, I remember back in 2013 if your motherboard had a fan on the southbridge then you would have had to send insane amounts, the kinda stuff linustech was barely even touching back then. I'd love to go really indepth which I can for my old board but I dont know much about my new one aside from the ports it has. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a side note I do miss this community but I dont have the time to come back, I remember posting news like crazy, being on the wan show every week, talking with linus and slick about the crazy stuff I had written, then being approached by some outlets to write for them. it was crazy stuff, maybe one day I will come back. Heres to many more years of faffing around with PCs, im glad this forum is still going as strong as ever.
  9. Hot take: PC cases now are honestly pathetic compared to what we had 5 years ago, my hard drive options are limited, nearly every case has side intakes instead of the front. NZXT literally have a single model. Barely any cases have 4 front usb ports have without 5.25 bays I cant add one. In terms of raw functionality I feel like the Corsair 750D Airflow Edition is the best I can find and thats nearly 7 years old.

      Stuck in the past for wanting more features? Lol no, the whole point of a custom pc is having more choice in cases. But sadly the rgb gamer crap sells more, with hardly any selection of cases without a window.

      If it sells, it's clearly what people want. It's not manufacturer's faults you want things no one else really cares about.

      I am stuck in the past honestly but the stuff back then is better for my needs, I am the type of user that requires a lot of storage, I have 5x3.5inch drives which will be moving to my new pc, with an ssd that will be retired due to nvme being a viable option. 

  10. How the hell does Fire emblem three houses look better then persona 5

  11. Started looking into making a new pc since my 2014 based machine is starting to struggle well mainly the i5 4670k. I spent £700 back then, to match that with a modern i5, 16gb ram, same case etc etc somehow is £300 more. I get that tech has progressed but holy crap its got so much more expensive.

      Thank you Intel, very cool!

       

      Ryzen 3000 looks really promising so far, especially since the price of RAM has also gone down. I'd just give the platform a little time to mature. Board prices are high, but X470/B450 work just fine.

  12. It's 2019 yet I'm configuring routers worth more then my annual wage over dial up. 

  13. Trying to get nested if statements to work in excel is going to be the death of me.

  14. Two years ago I dropped out of university with £15000 debt to show for it.

    One year ago I reset passwords and basically changed inbox permissions for 8 hours a day.

    Today(well yesterday) i was staging routers for foreign embassies. 

     

    Honestly really fun working for an ISP, aside from the 14 hour shift to get everything done and a mini heart attack from nearly dropping a cisco 4451.

  15. I dont think this is true at least in one case, my mate backed phoenix point and based off the dividend they must have gotten up front cash. Not sure if thats with all epic deals, im sure they are all slightly different.
