This stuff could be good for attaching those little heatsinks to the non-GPU parts of a graphics card for when you have an LN2 pot on the actual die or if you were to attach a CPU cooler to it.

I do not know situation in Canada, but here in Czech Republic it's already been "few weeks tops" since Prusa Research retooled portion of their 3D printing farm to spit out face shields instead of plastic parts for printers. It was supposed to be stop-gap measure to make few thousand shields until injection molding companies catch up. After 3+ weeks, 40k donated shields and another 120k waiting in warehouse to be transported, Josef got impatient and they invested their own money to have mold made because nobody else stepped up (much less from any governmental initiative). That's in a country with 10 million people, all these shields are being or will be used and re-used by medical personnel and related staff (nurses, EMTs, social workers, care givers ...). 
 
So much for "few weeks tops". PPE is extremely long run now.
 
I get it, You don't like the fact that Linus was inaccurate in statements as to how the money will be used, and you'd much rather see it going to some charity directly than supplementing role what should had been filled by governments and failed = providing proper amount of PPE to medical personnel. While promoting their own brand.

There's plenty of those if you look for ear saver. Best would be to consult with nurses you want to donate it to. People mostly print the NIH model, this one is also pretty popular as it uses fairly low amount of material and prints fast: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4251460
And here is even more interesting feedback from Facebook discussion in Prusa3D owners group: 
Hope it helps.

Great job guys! I never thought I'd see Prusa on LTT ... once this corona thing is over, do a video of Prusa factory tour where you see a farm of 3D printers printing parts for another 3D printers 🙂 
 
Regarding PETG sticking to smooth PEI sheets: Use window cleaner like Windex instead of IPA to clean sheet, it creates layer that's just enough to act as release agent. Or you can add a bit of talcum powder and polish it away with paper towel until no free powder if left on sheet. Works with other materials that weld to PEI surface too, like TPU.

Awesome intro guys, made my day!
What the was going on with the CyberPowerPC "We do not give recommendations"? Is this some new policy in there? Before Christmas when shopping peaks?

OK, so, there's a monitor that caught Linus' interest, is not very common, so I'd expect at least ... you know ... some kind of information about it when video is made. Just like with that cringeworthy non-review of Korean 3440x1440 Freesync monitor with (at that time) brand new Samsung panel, this video left many questions unanswered.
 
1. Freesync range?
2. Which DisplayPort standard it supports?
3. Which HDMI standard it supports?
4. PIP, picture by picture, ...?
5. Does it have scaler, how it behaves with lower resolutions, etc?
6. Overclockable?
7. Color uniformity, color output, backlight bleed, IPS glow, and other ... kind of important things for IPS panels?
5. Where to order, availability?
 
Do not get me wrong, but this is getting more into "reality show" and not "tech information" territory. To make matters worse, half of video is dedicated to different product - without even telling basic things about it, like, for example, do those graphic cards even support Freesync to make video relevant in first place? Why even bother then?

So, here I am, finally building new Ryzen-based system after couple of moths of buying components and waiting for platform to mature (at least a bit). System boots up, all lights green, I can connect my existing disks carried over from old computer with Steam library and stuff. And here comes my first part of this small rant about motherboards:
 
1. Why do manufacturers put SATA ports in place where they are inaccessible when I have longer graphics card? I cannot access first 4 SATA ports, because graphics card gets in a way.
 
Fine, no big deal, I remove the card and connect cables. But - uh-oh, here comes the biggest pet peeve of all:
 
2. WHY THERE IS THAT FRIKEN PCI-E SLOT RETENTION CLIP THAT I NEED TO PUSH TO TAKE CARD OUT, and it's under the GPU itself??? You see, I have fairly standard sized graphics card, speaking from today's perspective. Bottom part is where cooling is, I cannot push the clip from there. Top part is tiny bit higher because of backplate, but it should still reachable - unless I have installed tower CPU cooler. that prevents me from putting finger in there and pushing it! I constantly run into this problem with Hyper 212 and similar coolers, but now it is even worse because I have monstrous Noctua NH-D15. Adding photo for illustration of what I am trying to to deal with right now:
 
See that small dark ... thing above GPU and below the fan that needs to be pushed? Yeah, I barely see it too - and that's with camera flash on.
 
To make matters worse, I cannot remove fan from CPU cooler if I wanted to make a room - because retention clips for fan are in place where I cannot reach either due to graphics card!
 
So, guys, how do you solve this problem?
 
I have plugged hard drives into other SATA ports, which solver immediate problem of connecting those, but I truly fear the moment when I will want to remove card for upgrade or tear the system down. Honestly I do not have the answer on how to solve the problem with retention clips. I understand why they have to be there, but should MoBo manufacturers make them bigger or longer or different mechanism so I can at least reach and push them with long screwdriver?

You could get two of these . They're flexible so you can move the monitors around on them but it would mean you'd have 2 stands mounted to your desk. If that's not an option for you, they're also available as a wall mount version .

Or possibly buy a corner desk, then swivel chair a bit and move mouse and keyboard?

Other very important details about this monitor, missed in this review:
Model  M340CLZ
New panel from Samsung; Microboard probably got to it as either engineering samples or second-rate finalized panels because at the time of release from Microboard Samsung hasn't introduced their monitors yet
8 ms response time on default setting, 4 ms on fast setting
42-100 Hz Freesync refresh rate
But according to manufacturer's page panel can go up to 144 Hz on 2560x1080 resolution!!!
Can use 2 inputs separately for PIP/PBP

42-100 Hz is VRR window at native resolution.
But the monitor can output 144 Hz at 2560x1080, unfortunately I do not know if Freesync is supported at that resolution, and what the window is.
 
Hope it helps.

Yes, my first reaction to that video as well. Connecting it to nVidia - well, whatever, to see if it works at least - but I expected it to be connected to AMD GPU in first place and provide crucial Freesync information. Like, you know ... lowest and highest supported frequencies, what does it do for low framerate compensation, if it additionally supports Freesync over HDMI or DVI, the very basics. Not skipping over it completely and even complaining about tearing.
 
I am currently shopping for good FreeSync monitor, could have used this as referral, but, oh well, this review is not very useable.

Just to generalize this.. Linus (or any reviewer) can't possibly imagine all use cases for a product. So giving an opinion from a gaming standpoint is fair.. but that's no reason to completely gloss over a key feature like FreeSync. There's always going to be non-standard use cases that a product might fit in to, and solid coverage of the product itself (and all it's features) will help those non-standard users even in the absence of a recommendation for their use case.

I .... he ... errr, even if the Fury/FuryX or such card cannot keep ~100 Hz in CSGO or Overwatch on appropriate details at that resolution, isn't that what the frickin Freesync is for? To ... you know, synchronize refresh rate of monitor to output rate of GPU in order to stop tearing and make image smooth? This is review of monitor with Freesync feature, not GPU performance benchmark.
 
Edit: I am willing to pair this monitor with 290X/RX480 while waiting for what Vega brings in. Monitors last much longer than GPUs. If current card cannot keep up at full refresh rate - that's when Freesync kicks in. I just need to know frequency range at least, then I decide for myself, thank you.
