If you don't want to see ads on Youtube, buy Youtube Premium and support your creators you enjoy watching without any ads. Simple as that.....
 
 

It seems like you have no concept that there are considerations in picking a motherboard beyond "compatible with the CPU I want to use." 

That's a terrible suggestion. With most gpus you'll void the warranty if you take off the cooler to replace the thermal paste. The gpu cooler setup is more intricate compared to the simple cpu cooler, so it's easier to break something if not sure what you're doing.
 
Also the 3080ti was released in June 2021, so even if OP got it on first day, it's nearly impossible for the thermal paste to go bad, unless the manufacturer majorly failed at one of the simplest things. Usually the thermal paste and pads should be good for longer than other gpu components. 

Summary
According to a report published by the Austin City Council, Samsung Austin, a division of the Samsung Group located within Austin, Texas, has dumped a substantial amount of acidic waste into a stormwater pond near one of their semiconductor facilities. The waste, composed primarily of sulfuric acid, is believed to have been dumped over the course of over three months, with a total amount estimated to be up to 763 thousand gallons. The report sates there is virtually no life remaining within the pond or the tributary that feeds from the pond into the Harris Branch Creek, however the creek itself is believed to be largely unaffected. Investigation and remediation is still ongoing.

My thoughts
I'm almost impressed at the ability of large corporations to "accidentally" dump massive amounts of toxic waste and then not notice for months

OK, good for you....
 
And to everyone that is complaining about there is no way of supporting LTT, there are plenty of ways, one is buying merch, one is to use YT Premium, one is to subscribe to Floatplane for just LTT content, or shopping through their affiliate links and so on....

I agree, there is truly no other way to support LTT even if you love them and watches everything they produce. Yes, you are truly a die-hard fan.... /S

This can realistically happen to any thermal paste. @CommanderAlex's advice applies to a general case as well. Never try to vertically rip off a heatsink, no matter how new/old the thermal paste is.

As a kid I managed to fuck up the family computer so badly with malware that when you booted it up it apparently showed animal porn. Windows XP days were wild.

@cbigfootwon't stand a chance on the next folding event.

The cpu draws a lot of power and if there's a problem. It's just logical.

Why would anyone here know this?

My crystal ball doesn't work on weekends, sorry.

Okay, so after reinstalling my Gpu drivers it looks like it solved the problem. I guess it's because of the forced windows update that happened a few weeks ago that caused the stuttering.

Some yes, and bonding wires
 

 
But chips with large-ish amounts of gold haven't been a thing for 20 years or so.
 
I've seen some videos about recovery from modern electronics, the amount was significant but only made sense at industrial scale. 

I'd actually been hesistant at first to use adblockers since I knew that they allowed creators to get some money off of their work. But certain places got incredibly bad, so I eventually went ahead and added uBlock. I'e kept a lot of the sites I visit and want to support on the whitelist (seeing as it's literally just a button to do so).

I thought most people were aware of this. No matter how many reasons you make up to justify your use of adblockers, the end result is that the content creator doesn't get paid.
 
I'm not saying it's morally wrong to use adblock, I have uBlock installed on most of my devices. But from the creator's point of view there is no difference between someone pirating and someone bypassing ads.
 
The way that current Youtube (and many other platforms) work is that revenue is generated by ads, which then is split between the service provider and the content creator. Ads are effectively a payment you make to enjoy content.
 
That's just the way it is.
 

as Linus stated in the WAN show, he didn't SAY  nor mean that it is Illegal piracy, i will Use Adblock to block ads for as long as i am alive, as someone who has spotty internet sometimes i really DONT want to wait 5 minutes for a stupid waste of my time because its forced onto me. being poor too i couldn't subscribe on Floatplane or buy Merch as much as i would like to. as linus also mentioned. ads have done little per one view and those donations can do a bit more than watching every ad. its like what i'd do when i rarely Pirate a game that i want to play, i will Buy it Afterwards. i'll apply this logic to Content creators. i wont watch ads but i will definitely donate to them when i can. 

As noted by another commentator, Linus may have made some interesting points, but he failed to take the discussion to its logical conclusion.
 
Before I get to that though, there are key points that Linus did not address in his Wan Show that I would like to note/dissect:
 
Ads nowadays are a serious vector/risk vis a vis malware/fraudulent behavior. Consumers are becoming more aware of this fact and are therefore more hesitant to leave this security loophole on their systems.
 
  - You may argue: "just leave the ads running on the trusted websites (YouTube, ect...) like Luke said"
 
   --> to which I reply: " and how many people do you think are going to do that on a consistent/regular basis?"
 
Most people come back from work/school tired and seeking some sort of refuge/escapism. They do not want to go through a Scientology/political/ect... ad.
 
The last thing average consumers want to do is tinker with their adblockers to generate more revenue to their favorite creators.
 
    - You might argue " but you only have to do it once"
 
      --> To which I reply: " Sure. Until you want to listen to a YouTube music video or some other long form musical material that constantly stops mid-way because of a random algorithmically chosen ad*.
 
*(this by the way is an entire discussion on its own simply because when you block ads on every other website, they are no longer personalized for you, so they become more random on YouTube. It's more multi-factorial than that, so I am probably underestimating the issue"
 
The point being:
 
 The problem at this stage, indeed the discussion, should in my opinion no longer be about whether using adblockers constitutes as piracy or not (I don't believe it is, even by using Linus's "interesting" logic).
 
 The logical conclusion of the discussion in my view is:
 
 Is Google offering a service that is sufficiently good/convenient so as to make people overlook ads?
 
- Removal of dislikes: check
 
- Claiming to prioritize independent/small creators (jeez, it's in the name: YOU TUBE")  While consistently highlighting/prioritizing mainstream media outlets on recommended/home page/search results of users: Check
 
- Highly questionable takedown/copyright system that has done more bad than good (increasingly so over the past 3 - 4 years): Check
 
- Using an ethically questionable algorithm that relies on the strong emotions and reactions of people for recommendations under the pretext of "personalization"rather than using a more objective/neutral metric (or both, since those two words have different meanings): Check
 
Ect...
 
In my view: no, YouTube does not provide a good enough service to merit not using an adblock.
 
My two cents.

Give me the ad blocker that dupes the company serving the ad into believing I saw it, without me actually seeing it. Make the content creator complicit in (or at least benefited by) the piracy. I'd pick that up today.

I think a lot of this is due to misunderstanding caused by the limitations of Twitter and the written word.
 
The tweet in question taken on its own also seemed off to me compared to what Linus has been saying usually, but some of the answers clarify things as being a technicality. I'm sure it'll be discussed on WAN show later and that will set things straight.
 
It's simple, on youtube if a creator enables monetizing with ads then there are 2 possibilities to watch the content as per the terms of service of the platform, either you watch the ads or you pay for Youtube Premium, that's it. Circumventing the ads is thus technically the same as circumventing conditions placed on watching other types of media like paying for a license to watch it, which is usually called piracy.
There's nothing more to it. 

If your playing casual games where latency isn't noticeable/a necessity why not?
If you have issues just disable it and go back to not having it.
(I would say that if your playing on a tv it will make the experience more enjoyable)
If you notice latency just turn it back off, simple.
