  1. While I've not tried any other competitors (asides from Hotspot Shield), I've never had issues with PIA, before or after the acquisition. The servers I use are still as snappy and the software has not been bundled with any bloatware or crap. I can't speak to the resource usage before the acquisition, but it's sitting "off" at 90MB of RAM at present. My Disclosure: I signed up for PIA with an LTT discount code before the acquisition and still am an active user.
  2. And 69k likes ... Nice So this is the real reason why Linus wants us to watch every video ASAP and not just the Verified Actual Gamer program?
  3. I got this last night.... Wonder why they were trying to "Find MY Phone".
  4. Results weren't a shocker for me either. Once all the game's resources gets loaded into RAM, the system shouldn't be touching the drive much. (Also, during the Micro Center outtro, I couldn't help but notice some breathing & mouse clicking, or am I going bat-shit insane?)
  5. While I'm not saying that *this* is the problem, the two IPs you blocks may have been valid, legit programs; Windows and various other programs do phone home for a multitude of reasons. You should start by unplugging your network equipment for about 5 minutes (a little lengthy, sure). If the problem persists, run a virus scan on your computer & network (and I don't mean using Windows Defender to do that). If that doesn't pick up or resolve the problem, then definitely get into the network's control panel and change the password. As soon as you do that, grab your parent's devices and change the password for them; I'm sure you could think of a good reason to grab it for a moment (like "I need to check something")...
  6. The game caps itself at 60FPS for a reason that I forgot; you can remove this limit though. But you'll do just fine. I'm on a 5960x & GTX 980, with over 280 active mods for the game I never dip below 40FPS, even in downtown Boston.
  7. Epic Games sued for not warning parents that "Fortnite" is allegedly as addictive as cocaine. Are video games as addictive as drugs? One parental unit in Montreal claims so, and says they have a study to back it up. Source 1: https://myfox8.com/2019/10/07/addictive-as-cocaine-parents-sue-fortnite-creators/ Source 2: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2019/10/07/fortnite-producer-epic-games-lawsuit-says-addictive-as-cocaine/3900236002/ I really want to hear from Linus on this one, as a parent figure. If they're claiming it boosts Dopamine levels, wouldn't any type of "Social Media" also fall under this category? (eg; Like/Dislike/Love "Reaction" options)
  8. As I sit here, typing this post; I've just cracked open my Lo-Carb Monster. I drink one daily, but have been known to drink the Loca Mocha flavored version often
  9. I'm guessing no one cares for a good Mukbang? Regardless, I don't mind it or even notice it; partially because I'm eating my dinner when the Sponsor Spots air. I'm waiting for YT to start encoding the sounds into subtitles [Linus makes jerky crunching sound] [James slurps pasta loudly]
  10. The file it's referencing is from nvidia. Use DDU to completely remove and then reinstall your GPU's drivers. Don't install GF Experience if you don't need it. Edit: Also, run Memtest86+ and ensure your RAM kit is on the QVL for your motherboard.
  11. Great vid. Glad "Buttercup" mentioned Tails and TOR, and since this is a -BASIC- Guide, I'd love to see a more "My name is Zero Cool and this is my story" video in the future. Just wish more of a plug for PIA was in there. PIA is one of the ONLY VPNS that have a proven track record (in court) to not have any logs whatsoever. Even for being based in a 5-eyes company, that's saying a lot.
  12. I think this video should be moved to "Channel Super Fun" - as this video looked fun to do; almost as amazing as the Dildo Racing or Wine Rack video. I'm no photographer and have no ground to stand on when it comes to pictures, but wow; I want an in-depth tutorial on how to get my pictures to look like that from a little smartphone. PS: Colton does have the best pores. (Wonder what those 2 ladies walking were thinking when you were filming this)
  13. One word - EPIC. Jokes were pretty savage IMO, Yvonne had me cracking up. However, I was waiting for someone to lay into Steve for his "chipmunk-pockets" or his attire for the night, everyone looked so clean (except him), even Luke's beard was ok. The crew did a really good job at setting it up and coordinating the whole thing; James should have had a chair or stood near the podium instead of running across the stage like a freak without a leash. I'd like to see a battle now... ERB style...

  15. What are you even? Just use PIA. I hear a great YouTuber gives a discount code.
  16. Just had this idea pop into existence: Take the long-expired joke and build a computer capable of running Crysis at "playable" frame rates. - Limited budget - 2008-2011 hardware erra limitation (I guessed at the year range) - Parts trading allowed, buying pre-built pre-assembled systems not allowed - Loser(s) must shave head bald (skin-tight). Cheater(s) must shave head and eyebrows
  17. If the series is doing ANY overclocking... bringing on some REAL overclockers like Roman or Stepongzi to do the work would be awesome...
  18. The way things are going, the human race will be so lethargic that the machines WILL rise up and say "Fuck you all, I'm out... I'll make my own city, with Blackjack, and Hookers..."
  19. (James must read this title as Laser James) Amazon In-Home Delivery isn't dead, merely evolves. Items in "Amazon Prime" branded packaging are seen at the Amazon Fulfillment Centre on November 14, 2018 in Hemel Hempstead, England. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images) Our Amazon co-overlords are up to some work in their labs. Admittedly, having a person enter your home (even with the gadgets of security touted) isn't the best idea. Would robots change this?

I still like the Drone and Mothership idea better....
  20. Ring and their product lineup of doorbells and security cameras.
  21. Eh, not sure how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go on this topic; but I'll start by answering your immediate question: Q: What is the best way to Mail trading cards? A. Depends on the weight, origin and destination; USPS has a chart that they use in determining the rates. Summary: The heavier and further west (in the USA) it goes, the more expensive things get. If I were to mail the trading cards I'd find the employee there that knows their job very well and ask them to find you the best price while maintaining a tracking number. So, depending on the above factors; I'd personally use First Class Parcel (envelope/pouch) or a Small By Weight or Small Flat Rate box depending on what and where I was sending.
  22. I'd imagine a type 1 hypervisor would do like KVM or VMware; but have you though about giving Synergy a spin?
  23. @CPotter wins the WAN show Brutality for 2019. --- I'm bummed I didn't get my VIP tickets since they sold out so quick. Suggesting a modification to ticket sales for LTX20: 1. Raffle sale some VIP tickets 2. Set the sale price of VIP tickets to like 2,000; and then give a 'rebate' of like 1,600 upon the person showing up at the door. -- Credit goes to Twitch WAN show viewers
  24. Who else is doing a "Big Bang Theory?" Refresh - Refresh - Refresh - Refresh.
