  1. It was on my list to archive them this year. I have a small amount of archives, but trying to get everything I can. OP, can you share on r/datahoarder or archiveteam?
  2. I would like to point out that there are a LOT of issues w/ Windows and mixed display scaling. System icons and etc. will be at random, unpleasant sizes, individual windows will freak out between monitors, etc.
  3. Yes. A program like VLC/MPC (arguably any competent media player should but they don't all) will let you change which audio device it's playing to. You can't manage this on an OS level, but some programs let you change this.
  4. This actually used to be the kind of "Titan" slot for gaming cards for a while - the big beefy, between-generation card would just be two of the higher end ones glued together. They still counted as SLI/etc. and weren't very reliable. But it was fun to have a period of X2 and etc. cards knowing they were likely problematic.
  5. Nothing you put in a video description will protect you from consequences of breaking copyright law. If you actually do have license to use music/content, that does need to go there, but stating that you don't have license does nothing. A lawyer won't stop from suing you if it somehow got that far, and it won't protect you from automated or deliberate Content ID claims nor Copyright Strikes to your account.
  6. No. It does nothing whatsoever and just shows you don't know how copyright law nor YouTube policies/tools/enforcement works
  7. Claiming "I don't own copyright blah blah" doesn't do anything to protect you from consequences of breaking the rules and just makes you look like a fool.
  8. If it's a TV then it will handle 720p fine and look better on high. But also if you can't tell which looks better yourself I guess it doesn't really matter lol
  9. In-game, 720p high will "look better" - but depending on your monitor, scaling 720p up to your monitor's native resolution will make it look pretty bad, and in some cases, cause more input lag. This has gotten better in recent years, but most of my 1080p LCDs look awful running 720p. Worth testing with the hardware you have. Should be straightforward to just change the settings and see which you prefer, lol. If you can find a 720p or 1366x768 monitor to game on, you're good to go.
  10. Single Xeon. Do not go dual Xeon. Source: Puget systems - as reliable testing as it can get. Also ask Barnacules. He made the mistake of doing that and suffers for it. Premiere no longer scales as well across 2 CPUs and it is simply not worth it.
  11. Buying the channel wouldn't necessarily do anything positive for them.
  12. Onboard for sure. But yeah long-term you want an external DAC or DAC/amp combo
  13. The clip goes at the top, you can see the little tab for it on the plug in your picture
  14. The two Beyerdynamic pairs are closed back with a less-than-ideal sound stage for great directional audio, so I'd say probably the AD700x
  15. Pretty much everything in the 2.1 spec will require new TVs, output devices, etc. It'll be a while before we see this fully implemented - especially since most TVs don't even have the per-region light change ability to fully keep up with normal HDR properly.
  16. What are your favorite Windows optimization tips? Disabling hibernation, moving pagefiles, etc. Lay em on me!
  17. I agree with this one. Especially since you can't just upgrade CPU, it'd basically be a full rebuild at that point.
  18. No, nothing is going to automatically do that for you. If you have a Nvidia graphics card, you can use Nvidia Shadowplay to just hit start and stop recording as conveniently as possible.
  19. Recognized ya But yeah, the real performance gains for normal system use of M.2 over SATA aren't that spectacular, I'd defo recommend putting your money elsewhere.
  20. He was using parts from two completely different coolers and hacking them together. That's the only reason he ever needed to saw up a backplate. Unless you have some obscure old or server motherboard (and even then you'd probably be fine), any cooler you go and buy for your CPU mount will fit your motherboard just fine. There are no compatibility concerns there. They come with all of the appropriate mounting hardware you need. Linus likes to make a mess of things for videos, that's not how normal hardware assembly with new products plays out.
  21. If you really want to save money, you can probably get a cheaper (or bigger for the same price) SATA SSD over the M.2 one.
  22. It's a compatibility problem in that he chose a backplate from Cooler X to use with Cooler Z. Not a cooler to motherboard problem. The cooler you buy will come with its own backplate and fit just fine with your motherboard. The only thing you need to look for is socket compatibility (AM3, LGA 1366, etc.).
