    TheProfosist got a reaction from aminit in Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity   
    In my eyes that person was just a bit delusional about how a job works. Dont know them or their history but working with the LMG team at LTX has reinforced that at their size LMG is a regular employer that hires regular people. People want to put them on a pedestal since they're a "YouTuber".

    Then you let them roast you. Better to keep your mouth shut than give people more ammunition. If anything it should just be a statement acknowledging what went on and a plan going forward. Maybe also something like he wont be making statements on topics like this going forward.

    pretty sure its been mentions on WAN Show that they may go away from daily uploads. In that context it was more talked about in the way of running out of content to make people will actually watch rather than slowing it down for quality. That would be a side benefit though.

    In minutes, earlier today on Twitter when it broke. That aside, Linus himself has come up with resolutions similar to this before for other issues and for other people. He's also not worked with manufactures over them screwing over backers and refusing to refund.
     
    My guess here is that its happening to him right now and he's doesn't see an issue with the content. However, in situations like this it really doesn't really matter what you think. It's all about what others perceive and turning that around. I can tell you I haven't always thought this way, or been in the position to do so.

    I thought this was going to be far less reasonable than it was. The comments on the video and here on the forums are less so.
     
    I will say I dont think Linus's reply will go over well due to its tone. Also was rather surprised GN had no comment from LMG on it at all. Usually they would ask other companies and mention it even if no response based on previous coverage.
     
    For me the Billet Labs thing is a complete f-up. I feel like inventory and tracking has not been a strong suit for them since they moved everything. My solution would be get it back if at all possible, compensate both parties for their losses and time, the double the donation as a gesture.
     
    Im more irked about when they know there is an error and correct it in video, like reshoot that or dub it. If you know its bad dont put it out. Those just shouldnt be there, lop them out! Its almost as if the video is edited them someone watches it and adds the notes/corrections.
     
    As for the issues on the graphs. I dont know if anyone but another tech reviewer would have noticed, especially en-masse. I have definitely run CrystalDisk in the wrong mode and only found out when I'm done editing or even published the video/review. Realistically at that point im not retesting everything. I'll either cut that item/graph/result or mention its borked.
     
    Until Labs is up and they have actively updated data replacing/updating it isnt reasonable. Just because they have the ability to replace a video, doesnt mean it's a feature that should be used regularly.
     
    Though, for context I generally dont look at LTT/LMG or anyone else for that matter as the end-all for testing. Realistically, how do I make recommendations? Based on hands-on experience! I know not everyone can do that. How do I know how a 3060 Ti preforms? Because, ive played games im familiar with on it. I'd also argue that those of you min-maxing every bit of your build is the wrong way to go about it but thats a different discussion.
     
    Now should people who are paid to get it right, get it right,yes. I have made plenty of errors like that. Gone entirely wrong directions at work based on bad data. Timeline gets pushed or im staying late or in on the weekend. However if its a process flaw sometimes you just run with it since its all you have time to do and correct it the next time around. Gotta make sure you do that though. In some cases its take 1yr+ to develop and implement processes that I'm in charge of to a point where I'm happy. That never stops though and there is always something you can improve and do better.

    @ColossalCubes if I were you I'd stay within SOP. Corporate doesn't want you doing that stuff because the risk isn't worth the reward to them. I've seen what happens to employees and precincts when they do get bitten. As for support the company offers what the average person needs and what they are willing to pay for when it comes to employees. This is why you don't need a certification anymore or even experience. You forgot to note that starting pay is the same as if you were in sales despite the increased amount and difficulty of work and related stress. Though a bunch of those sales consultant positions recently got cut due to the ever dwindling in store traffic.

    TheProfosist got a reaction from da na in Show off your old and retro computer parts   
    I guess launched in 2007 its not that old but its definitely a classic. Oldest stuff I have otherwise it just some P4 stuff that I have around because it really pays off for that maybe twice a year thing when I have to go fix a P4. I do have two Pentium Pro's somewhere, a Pentium, and a Pentium with MMX. A year or so back I parted out my oldest working system which was a 1GHZ socket P3 as finding stuff when things was getting hard and expensive. The motherboard and CPU were solid though but I think the ATI HD 3850 was a touch over kill.

    For GPU pass through UNRAID is going to be the easiest. Honestly anything VM related I'd recommend UNRAID, I have NEVER had any luck running VMs on FreeNAS over the last 5-6 years. Both OS have their strengths and weaknesses, and this is why I run both. For my VMs I have a box setup running UNRAID, for all my storage I run FreNAS. I even mount all of my FreeNAS data to my UNRAID VMs when needed. This also allows me to backup important data from Freenas to UNRAID to have things in 2 places.

    either way the ram thing is semi solved I have 64GB 4x of Crucial CT16G4WFD8266 on the way. Prices really have plummeted since this project started.
     
    likely wont be caching though will have a separate SSD array for the VM's and other things. If I want to use as a scratch disc RAID0 would be ideal but id need to look into a way to image it to the big array otherwise I might go RAID1 for a bit of redundcancy
     
    Ended up with a 9300-8i HBA off of ebay that i snagged for $100 which tested good.

    The menu key is actually quite useful to those of us who navigate mostly using a keyboard. Also when coding or doing stuff in batch or via Command Line. Most of the Home key cluster is quite helpfull with all of that.

    cause its not competeing with the evo in the least as that is samsungs budget offering. Its competitors are the 840 pro as well as the highest end offerings from plextor and sandisk. You could put ocz's newer offerings in there but the company is a mess at the moment. The thing is is that to get full perfomace with the 730 you really need the 480gb. Also even the 240gb is priced a good bit above the competition.
