There also appears to be a video coming on the topic. It's currently locked, even for floatplane viewers: 

 

That's a text post not a video. 

Just so everyone's aware, Maxine liked Madison's tweet, not unlike when Madison last spoke out and Max made a now deleted tiktok about it. Take it as you will.

 If it's just a "because we can!" then go nuts, because clearly you already have. But if there's a reason beyond "because we can"... explain it to me. Anyone. Please.

 

 

 

I'd say it's a mix of because they can and also because 6 workstations take up a hell of a lot more space than one singular workstation. It's for their LAN centre.

@LinusTech, please, for the love of Dawkins, put that steel lathe/cutter to good use & capitalise on @AlexTheGreatish's wizardry to create a proper case for this frankensteinian monster. You could make it the centre-piece in your LAN centre for which the displays and peripherals could surround it.

@LinusTech Did you think about a bunch of 480GB Intel Optane 905P U.2 or 750GB Intel Optane SSD DC P4800X U.2 combined with one of these crazy badboys: https://www.serialcables.com/products.asp?cat=351&tier=264?

Or three of these https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1388123-REG/highpoint_ssd7120_nvme_u_2_raid.html

Annnnnnd here's Linus' favourite adapter http://www.microsatacables.com/u2-sff8639-to-pcie-4-lane-adapter-sff-993-u2-4l

Nice CPU for a graphic designer lol.

Bump. Anyone performed further testing? Anandtech still use 7 in their test bench and performed iGPU tests on Kabylake without any reported issues in February. What's the status?

Edit: disregard

good

they are already banned on PCMR

Really? That's awesome news. I know some were posting and requesting it be banned or relegated to be permanently archived to be starved of clicks, but I didn't know the decision had been made.

We'll just transfer to a different universe. 

.....with blackjack and hookers.

Holy clickbait, Batman. Physorg doing their usual thing it seems.

Holy moly there are a lot of posts here now! I will do my best to respond to most of them, but I can't guarantee it will be in an extremely timely manner

Can you guys move all the competition entry posts to the thread they belong in? Or does IP board not allow such a task?

What if I don’t have a credit card or find paying challenging? Vessel is committed to keeping the subscription price as low as possible, supplemented with light load of advertising. 

Seems like Vessel wants to go down the Hulu route. Bad move. I've already seen these advertisements. People don't want to pay for a service and then be subjected to albeit 'light' advertisements. See; cable TV.

I wish Vessel the best and it seems like they've already got all of the big names from YouTube to immediately migrate and populate all their content, but I can't see this site/service surviving long term. I give it a year. They're simply too far behind YouTube in terms of feature parity and they should already be at parity at release if they have any hope whatsoever of competing.

This was the best and most entertaining video to-date. Well done, duders. 

What happened to Lauren from TastyPC doing this build?

You don't throw out a sponsored video with a "dream" in description, then argue that 16gb is a reasonable choice for potential upgrades in the future. Especially when a silly 1080p render in premiere pro can eat up 18GB of memory.

Agreed. 

I'd also add there's nothing 'dreamy' about this build at all.

If we're to take WD's original intention of this build from here.

But don’t worry about the budget.

This does not have 'plenty' of ram, nor does it have speakers or a huge storage array. Software Raid 1 of 2x6TB? C'mon. WD said don't worry about the budget and Linus is worried about the price of a 32GB DDR4 kit? 

Yes please.

Woooooo

I loved the style of this video. Much more candid and casual; reminiscent of the old unboxing style videos.

although I need to find a way to get the old transparent windows from windows 7... that would be amazing...

Request/report it in the feedback app. Many, many other people have been. If they (Microsoft) ignore the request they are undoubtedly and unequivocally insane as there is serious demand for its return as at least an option.

You missed the poll option: "Flat design is a scorn on user interaction design, it's NOT OK, and until MSFT gets their heads out of their collective assses I'll be sticking with Windows 7".

I cant wait till the tumblr sjws get their hand on this

Haha, dude. The Verge is rife with SJW employees. They're always doing opinion pieces like these. I stopped visiting their site a long time ago when I got sick of the neo-feminist posturing from women studies graduates posing as tech journalists. 

This isn't vBulletin. It's IP Board. You should know as a "web dev" as its look and feature set is quite distinct from vB. Not to mention -- it's stated as such in the bottom right hand corner of the board's footer.  :blink:
