I just had some ideas what I wanted to mess around in the OS source with. Thanks I'll give this a go

That might work, as long as I can get access to the binaries it makes from Windows. I don't want nested VMs

Hey, So after a lot of googling and failing to find anything that will actually work I thought I would ask for assistance to check it was even possible before going any further. I want to test a theory, but for that I need to try modify Linux. I'm a native Windows user and I don't have the hardware to install Linux on a seperate machine nor do I want to dual boot. What I would like to do is download, modify and then compile the Linux kernel on my Windows machine and then use the binaries as the OS for a virtual machine. At this point I'm having trouble even finding out if you can build Linux on Windows, I know that Windows now ships with the subsystem for Linux or whatever it is so I would hope that there would be some hidden functionality to be able to build the Linux source Any help is appreciated

Hey guys, So I've been looking into 3D modelling and animation and as part of that I want to create some models/animations that I would then go on to use in a project like a game for example. The kind of animation I'm wanting to do is to animate for something that doesn't have a set constant. It's kinda hard to put directly into words so hopefully an example will better explain it. If I wanted to animate a character picking up a glass and I have multiple different sized glasses I want to have an animation that would stop as it grips the glass regardless of the diameter of the glass without clipping into it, or leaving a gap. Similar to if I made a character hug another character, I would like it to tighten the hug to the size of the person he's hugging and go no further. My question is, is there a name for this kind of animation or does it even exist and if so are there any good guides/tutorials for it Any help appreciated Thanks

So as announced in the recent TL video HP have refreshed pretty much the entire Elite line up of products, as an Envy 13 owner I went to see if they had refreshed my laptop. They have, and while they've uped the CPU from KabyLake to KabyLake-R (quad cores rejoice) I noticed that they actually downgraded the RAM to slower DDR3 Source: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/hp-envy-13-2018 I'm assuming this was done due to DDR3 being cheaper to reduce the overall price of the laptop given current RAM price issues. Anyway I did some google-fu to try and see if I could find any other laptops that had used a KabyLake-R CPU with DDR3 but couldn't find any relevant results, just people asking if they could use DDR3 DIMMs with KabyLake motherbaords. I know Linus did a DDR3 vs DDR4 review years ago but they were ultimately different platforms. I'd like to know if anyone knows about KabyLake-R laptops with DDR3 RAM that could be compared against a DDR4 equivalent with the same CPU to get an idea of what the performance difference is like Many Thanks

If both computers involved in the transfer have 2 Gigabit connections they yes, teaming them would increase transfer speeds. If they are different they will transfer at the maximum speed of the slowest connection. If you team the connections to the router however then incoming traffic from multiple 1 gigabit connections would not be bottlenecked until you reach the 2 gigabit limit. I am unsure about reliability however but it would be relatively low risk since this is something that has been done for years

There are multiple reasons why you might want duel gigabit ethernet on a board. Especially ITX where you don't have the luxury of an add in ethernet card presuming that you'll populate the pcie slot with a gpu. You can have one port dedicated to an internet connection and another dedicated to internal file transfers over a server. You can team your connection for 2 gigabit if you really need the extra speed. Linus has demonstrated a lot of these in previous videos, I think the 10gb ethernet on the cheap video covers most of them

As long as it's well cooled I don't think it poses too much of a threat, although it is on the high end. I would hope he is watercooling it

Hey all, So I feel like I know the answer is going to be "nothing that can be done" but I'm going to ask anyway. I have a HP Envy 13 laptop, the one with an MX150 and I've found that with certain games regardless of settings it seems blurred. I haven't got any issues with frame rates, one of the affected games is Warframe which I can easily hit 90 fps in. I've tried every combination of vsync on and off, in game frame limiter without vsyncs, etc. Nothing seems to help. My conclusion is that the IPS display has a fairly slow pixel response time and in fast paced games the display can't keep up with the changes in game. I tried searching for information about whether or not it's possible to improve a pixel response rate through some form of software level overdrive and couldn't find anything. So I thought I'd ask here anyway in case someone is aware of anything that can be done. Any help is appreciated Many thanks

I'm glad someone brought this up, I was actually going to start a thread myself. Loot boxes (or whatever disguise the developers hide them behind) have become a major issue that no one wants to seem to deal with. The fact that there isn't a governing body looking into this a seeing what effect it is having is actually disgusting. Especially when you have seen reports of things like children taking parents credit/debit cards to buy more FIFA packs or whatever it is, which is a huge indication of gambling addiction that there are children stealing money to fuel their loot crate opening. Someone has created a petition in the UK to have the government look into it here and hopefully that will reach a point where the government actually has to respond and deal with the situation before it gets further out of hand

Hey guys, So Linus did his delidding of a 6700k video a while back, and I was wondering if anyone can remember him gluing the IHS back onto the PCB. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a video of it's own, but I seem to have a vague memory of him doing it as part of a video and I wanted to find said video. Many Thanks

So quick question you guys, I know that running a single GPU through an 8x slot has little to no performance impact. And given that most SLI/Crossfire setups will have at least one of the cards running at 8x, two if you have a Ryzen based system where there are only 16 of the pcie lanes dedicated to the GPUs. But if you were to run a dual GPU card say two radeon pro duos in quadfire through slots running at 8x would you run into bottle-necking since both cards would be running on effectively a 4x worth of bandwidth I know that pro duos aren't meant for gaming, I was just using the most recent dual GPU card that I can remember at this point in time

This would indeed solve the issue, but I could have swore it was one PCB. However it was almost certainly my bad memory Thanks

Hey guys, So I need help sourcing an item, namely a dual PCI-E riser cable. I remember seeing it once and I can't find the page that showed it off. The basic design was a PCB with two 16x slots and then two 16x riser cables that would slot into the motherboard in two PCI-E slots. I want to mount two GPUs vertically without having two use two separate risers Does anyone know of the type of riser I am looking for, because googling has returned no valid answers Any help is greatly appreciated BlackRogue

Thanks for the link, I presume you can swap the arms around so that the dual bracket is above the single bracket yes
