    Introduction

    TITAN X water blocks will be compatible with the 980 Ti. They use the same PCB.
     
    Yes, you should cancel the TITAN X order and get the 980 Ti. There's really no reason to get a TITAN X.

    I really don't know much about SSD since I haven't been able to use one. But, I am considering on buying one for my next upgrade. So do you think it would be a big issue? I was planning on just buying the SSD for the OS only and other files would go to an HDD.

    TheTeflonSlackerG reacted to Silyy097 in Some SSDs Can Lose Data After Just A Few Days In Storage   
    If you're concerned about it losing the data, dont get worried. As said, it only matters when it goes up in temperature, such as in server rooms and such. Unless you're planning to cram 50 SSDs into your PC case without decent *cooling*, or stick your SSD onto your CPU radiator, you don't need to matter about it losing data. 
     
    TL;DR : Go for it.
     
    EDIT: added the word cooling

    TheTeflonSlackerG reacted to LinusTech in Linus Media Group Inc. is HIRING!   
    Read this post carefully before applying. If your email demonstrates in any way that you didn't read the post, then your letter WILL be ignored.
     
    We're looking to expand our team. Please have a look at the list of the skills we're looking for and send a description of your experience and some basic information about yourself in the form of a cover letter (not too long)
     
    Video editing
    - Basic video editing skills are pretty much a must - we use Adobe CC
    - Any more advanced abilities (familiarity with After Effects, basic graphic design principles in Photoshop or Illustrator, music or sound effects aptitude) will dramatically improve your chances.
     
    Camera Operation - just looking for something fairly basic here, but if you happen to be a great camera operator in addition to other things listed here, let us know!
    - Familiar with DSLR or cinema camera operation
    - Familiar with basic techniques to achieve even lightning
     
    Script Writing - Looking for multi-talented, very creative person(s). This is something that's potentially available as a part time or remote-worker contract gig
    - Should be technical enough to compile data and write scripts for Fast As Possible
    - Should be comfortable working on scripting for commercial projects or creative projects as well
    - Creativity is key here
     
    Video Production & Direction - This is something we only need once in a while.
    - Comfortable conducting auditions and hiring actors
    - Comfortable creating a shot list, finding locations and doing associated paperwork (authorizations and whatnot)
    - Comfortable managing a video shoot on a tight schedule with 2-5 actors
     
    On Camera Hosting - Not interested in hiring a dedicated on-camera host right now, but if you're a very strong candidate for something else, and you are also a great host, then that will work in your favour
    - Fast As Possible needs alternate hosts
    - If you're very knowledgeable about games and gaming, there may be an upcoming talk show (similar to WAN Show) that would be a collaborative project with Luke
     
    Benchmarking & Hardware Testing - This won't be full time, and we won't need a dedicated person for this for quite some time
    - Excellent hardware troubleshooting skills
    - Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
    - Careful and detail-oriented
     
    Qualified candidates should possess the following attributes with particular emphasis on the right hand column:
     
    Quick learner Independent worker Good sense of humour Initiative taker Good time management Motivated Hard worker Good communicator Passion for technology  
    Only successful applicants will receive a reply with a full application form. If you don't hear back from us, then please don't be discouraged. Maybe next time your talents will be a better match for our needs.
     
    If you live in the Vancouver area or are willing to relocate (our head office is in Langley specifially) and you feel like you have a good mixture of these skills, please send a cover letter to linustechtips@gmail.com with the subject line "Application Letter for [your name here]"

    I just realized there isn't a thread  where you can quickly and easily follow all of the members of Linus Media Group across the various social media platforms. I've put asterisks next to the ones I believe are the most "active" 
     
    The Team
    Linus Tech Tips YouTube Channel - Unboxings, product overviews, and behind the scenes
    Twitch.TV Live Stream Channel - The WAN Show (Weekly Analysis & News) focused on Technology. Fridays at about 4:30 pacific time
    Tech Quickie YouTube Channel - Paid projects for partners go here as well as the "as Fast As Possible" series of videos about technology
    Channel Super Fun YouTube Channel - All sorts of activities from games, sports to pranks and crafts
     
    Linus
    Personal Twitter - Most of Linus' random thoughts and pictures go here. Main Twitter account for interaction on The WAN Show weekly live cast. New videos get announced here. Great for when YouTube subscribers aren't getting notifications (seems like always).
    Personal @LinusTech Instagram - Basically all Instagram updates waterfall to Twitter, so you'll get the bulk of the content there
    LinusTech Facebook Page - All Instagram and Twitter updates waterfall to here. Occasional Facebook shares of things people send me. Mostly exists for people who don't want to use Twitter.
     
    Luke
    Slick's Personal Twitter - Mostly used for inbound communication but some news updates, and many LinusTechTips.com community updates.
    Personal Luke_Lafr Twitch Channel - Used to Moderate the WAN show and also some game streams.
     
    Edzel
    Edzel Yago's Personal Twitter - Random thoughts and updates. Active communication with followers. Some early previews of things Linus Media Group is working on.
     
    Brandon
    Brandon's Personal Twitter - Easiest way to contact B-Roll about anything related to working at Linus Media Group or anything else.
     
    Taran
    Taran's Personal Twitter - Easiest way to contact him. Taran will be working on Fast As Possible for Tech Quickie so sending suggestions for future topics might not be a bad idea.
