I'm just going to leave this here. He didn't do it for the drama, sure.

Tf does that even mean, just because something gets more views because naturally more people are interested, does not mean he's doing it for the drama. 

At least a part of why there's still growing pains and internal disorganization, is how desperate LMG is to continue to grow and pump out content even faster, despite them already being a massive company working over their heads. I still remember once upon a time, Linus was ecstatic just to have his own channel and independent audience, rather than presenting out of the NCIX backroom. I left years ago when all the LTT content started becoming clickbaity titles and thumbnails, had no idea things have gotten this bad.

My understanding is that the Leaf's biggest drawback is the lack of temperature control for the batteries--which is why they tend to degrade faster than competing EV's.  Of course, that's 1st gens, and I think they've addressed this now.  IDK for certain.

The degradation part itself is fixed for the 2nd gens, but by way of changing the battery chemistry to tolerate heat and not actually adding thermal management unfortunately. So in the newer ones, you can heat them up as much as you want and it won't accelerate degradation, but long road trips are still a disaster because the hotter it gets the slower it will charge.

What’s better? That or a Chevy bolt 

For that specifically? Leaf. It is a really underrated chassis, and even stock, handles very well for what it is. The Bolt is noticeably worse for handling and chassis rigidity.

Carving forest backroads with a stock 2018 Leaf during my trip to Oregon:

As a car/an EV though? Definitely the Bolt, considering it's significantly better range and active cooling for the battery. The defective batteries have been recalled and are getting replaced, so ones that have been won't just blow up.

What car is that? Got more pics?

2014 Nissan Leaf. 

Honest question - Are we ever going to have clear normal video titles again? 

If you're just using the prebuilt as it is (stock) -> No problem.

If you're looking to upgrade it -> We would need more details on the system and PSU itself, and what you were wanting to do to it.

I fully agree that electric cars can absolutely be fun.

Interesting time for me to just so happen to pop in again.

Over the years (since being active here), still been a car and driving enthusiast, and like to actually drive my car and have a good time. Anyone can drive fast in a straight line though, and when most of my time is spent commuting in the city there's nowhere to go fast anyways, I highly prefer having a good nimble chassis that handles well and is fun to toss around.

Maybe something went wrong along the line, but what I actually drive:

Megan Racing coilovers, Ultra Racing Juke rear sway bar, Cusco Juke front LCA brace, Nitto NT05s, and the really low center of gravity - rips corners like it's on rails. A blast to rip through the city, down onramps, and at the occasional local autox events they host here. Needs a bit more power, plan to do the 110kW inverter upgrade next, once I actually find one to buy.

its more complicated than that. 

 

You see how it starts off fast and then falls to 33mb...? 

 

The first part is the cache, which is small and fast, the rest is the "real" speed of the device...(what device is it?)

 

And I think windows plays a role too, for example when I copy to ssd over usb3 this can happen too... it'll be faster than your example,  but nowhere near as fast as it should.  And even internally this can happen,  especially if its lots of small files...

 

 

So a combination of devices not being as fast as advertised (USB thumb drives typically) and windows being windows (highly unoptimized) Im guessing. 

 

 

 

 

A Patriot Rage XT and a Crucial X6 SSD, both of which I know sustain much higher speeds than that, especially when reading. This also happens when copying one large file, which was what was happening in the screenshot I took in the OP.

As of recently I've encountered an issue on both my PCs, desktop with Gigabyte B450 Aorus M board, and Asus Vivobook with Ryzen 5500U. Copying to/from USB 3.0 devices seems to be limited to 40MB/s max which is apparently the speed of USB 2.0. I've done some searches and almost all of results I can find seem to be people who have this issue with only the front ports on their PC and not the rear. In my case it is happening on all ports front and back, whether ones that run directly off the CPU or via the chipset. Drivers are up to date on both systems and I've tried multiple different B450 driver versions on the desktop. Is it a Windows 10 related issue?

This is happening with >90% of transfers for at least the past two weeks. Every now and then it will start off full speed again, but if it's a larger transfer, after a little bit it will drop back down, and do a "zigzag" speed pattern going up and down between 30-40MB/s. 

Even Dimitri from HardwareCanucks commented on having this same issue so it clearly can't be that uncommon but nobody seems to have found a fix?

Exactly. 

Everyone who keeps blaming "the algorithm" clearly has no idea what they are talking about and just want a scapegoat. 

There are plenty of YouTube channels that thrive without using awful titles.

 

MKBHD also makes tech videos and has very clear and easy to understand titles. He doesn't need to "appease the algorithm". 

 

It just depends on what type of content you make, what audience you want to attract and how many views you want. 

When you tubers say they need to "follow the algorithm" or do things "because the algorithm" they aren't saying "I need to do this or else my channel will die". They are saying "I do this because it's an easy way to make more money, and I care more about money than appeasing my fans". 

Thank you, finally someone who gets it.

It's honestly disappointing to see all the people blaming it on the yOuTuBe AlgOriThM to defend the practice. It has nothing to do with the algorithm. I personally know people who were actually affected by the algorithm, which turned off commenting on their videos, drastically reducing their audience, and they're no longer able to make enough off YouTube for a living, actually having to change their career path and only doing YouTube as a hobby for their remaining fans and small Patreon supporter group. THAT'S being affected by the algorithm. 

Intentionally making clickbait because you want to make more money, isn't something that you can blame them for as a business, but saying that it's YouTube's fault for it, who have LMG's back as a major content creator, is just complete BS. 

You can be a good tech content creator without having to resort to doing so.

Linus talked about this in some recent livestream. They were supposed to rename videos after the critical window has gone past, so some 1-3 months later. He said he would remind the people to do it more. Buts its unlikely you will see good video titles unless you are willing to pay for them (Floatplane).

Clickbait works, and Linus has people's salaries to pay. All the time relatively successful YouTube channels go down the tubes just because the Almighty Algorithm nobody at YouTube could actually explain suddenly decides to disfavor them. If your livelihood and the livelihoods of your staff depended on YouTube revenue (which is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits), you would be dumb not to use every trick available to you to maximize it.

 

In short, don't hate the player (Linus), hate the game (YouTube algorithms). 

While I do understand this, a lot of other large content creators on YouTube (including in tech) do as well, and they still haven't felt the need to resort to clickbait titles and thumbnails. Yes there's overhead and revenue, but there's still having respect for your audience and viewers. As with everything there should be a line between ethics and profit, even if it swings a lot more towards the latter, rather than just being greedy as possible. 

Though I haven't been on the forum much if at all the past few years, I still continued to keep up with the main channel and videos that I thought were interesting. The video titles and thumbnails started to contain catchy taglines, but still clearly explained what the product is and the video was about (ex. "I'm DONE covering for NVIDIA - RTX 3070 Review"). However, as of the past few months, there were more and more videos with absolutely nothing in the title or description that explains what it is about, and more and more often they are just downright clickbait.

Who came up with this idea, and are we going to go back to clear titles and thumbnails that actually tell the viewer what they're clicking on before watching the video?

What's the background of your question? Do you already have a board and everything for it laying around, or are you starting from scratch?

I would be EXTREMELY fucking surprised, if the system actually did learn properly what sorts of news I care about and provided me with those. 

If any of these services did. At least ones that are free.

You SHOULD get a board with VRM heatsinks, but you don't necessarily NEED one in all cases. With a 3100 you'll be just fine.

Given that they're the same speed & latency, 2x16. Ryzen is only dual channel, so you'd just be limiting yourself for future upgrades.

Take a look at this laptop. I think it looks pretty nice

 

Asus TUF Gaming A15 FX506II-AL059T

 

It's cheaper and probably a lot faster as well.

Actually just got one the other week for the miss to do her photo and video editing on. It's a great laptop for if you need the power and is light for a gaming laptop, but if you don't, it's pretty hefty to lug around all that extra weight you won't take advantage of. The charging brick is impressively small though.

Stock recoveries won't allow access to internal storage, only aftermarket ones like TWRP will and I believe it's the only one that will connect to MTP automatically without confirmation.

There was only a certain period of Android devices where they would automatically enable storage access upon connecting to a PC, when they first switched from USB mass storage to MTP. However, due to security risks of this with public USB outlets at airports and whatnot, this quickly became frowned upon and now pretty much all devices require user confirmation in order to enable phone storage to be seen by a host device.

Will they actually show what it looks like is the big question

How about just one $15 PSU:  

 

 

Somehow they still managed to see a need to produce a 240W PSU

But hey, it's got RGB!

You could also go to the junkyard, get a car battery, and toss a wrench across the terminals

Possibly as the latter models were developed later on. 

Intel's chip lineup is just so unnecessarily fragmented and over the top right now that it's like buying a sedan from General Motors in the mid 2000s, ridiculous. They need to slim the roster.

Thunderbolt 3 is the important part that you're looking for, so at the moment you'll need something Intel. If you're not doing anything graphically demanding and just research/writing work though, you shouldn't need discrete graphics. Pretty much any Thunderbolt 3 equipped laptop will have a good enough iGPU to do high-res for just productivity.

It has exfat I guess because it is compatible with mac and windows both. SSDs are currently not available in my country due to the lockdown so I have to get it running for now. I will upgrade to an ssd whenever they are available

Unfortunately you need an NTFS partition to install Windows on. You could do what others above have suggested of shrinking the partition and creating an NTFS one in the empty space, but honestly that's just as much time and effort as you could be spending just backing up the files to somewhere and doing a fresh install on a clean drive. It's much less cluttered that way and less likely to run into weird issues or poor performance afterwards.
