Apologies for interrupting such a heated discussion but I would like to add my tuppenceworth. The point of ABS is to allow the vast majority of drivers to achieve a reasonable emergency stop regardless of road conditions or driving abilities. I have no objections at @straight_stewie for saying that ABS can increase braking distances. That is true in certain situations sand and gravel where such increases are significant. What I do have issue with is saying: And the assorted mish mash of an argument saying how this translates to shorter stopping distances in the real world. Now I don't know about where you live but here in the UK unless you're telepathic that ain't always the case. Car door opens on a narrow street? Farmer pulls out of his farm on a blind bend on a country lane? Twat doesn't know how to use a slip road and swings out in front of you for no reason? Deer crosses the road? And that is only the start of the issue. Threshold breaking relies on you knowing where the point of slip will occur. That's difficult on a racetrack where brake points are consistent, track and tire temps are broadly the same and the process of track evolution is relatively predictable. It's boarderline impossible on a country road in winter. Shaded bits behind hedges will still have black ice although the rest of the warm is dry, wet caddle grids will be offer the square root of diddly squat in terms of grip, mud flung from a passing tractor will hamper grip, a mish mash of different tarmac as the council looks behind the sofa for funds to build a slightly more usable road, off camber bits of road, pot holes that have been filled with water and are now completely frozen with ice, slippy white lines, slippy manhole covers, crests that will reduce max braking potential as the suspension decompresses, troughs that will increase max braking potential etc... There is a reason why Rally Drivers who practice on a closed course still need pace notes like "off camber, grippy, slippy, caution, crest etc..." Waze or Google maps doesn't really give you that kind of information unless there is some sort of Dirt partnership I don't know about. On the road I have mentioned above I can guarantee that an ABS car with a good driver will stop in a more controlled manner than one without ABS but with an excellent driver. Hell, there was a reason why F1 before 94 had cars that had ABS as it offered an advantage. I'm not sure about you but I think Prost and Mansell can be classed as above average drivers and the FW15C did have ABS and managed to win 10 races. If ABS was as bad as you claim I think Newey would have just saved a couple of kilo's and ripped everything out. He didn't.

Would using a WD SN550 as a boot drive for a linux installation work using the m.2 10gbit/s connector on my motherboard (Asus Z97-P)? I know that the drive speed is significantly faster than 10gbit/s and would therefore be bottle necked but I've run out of SATA ports and the NVME version of a m.2 drive is about the same price as the SATA version of the m.2 drive with much higher read/write IOPS. In addition, I can always reuse the drive when I upgrade. I've tried contacting ASUS to check if NVME is bootable on this motherboard but their response was .... "Please if possible get another SSD - Samsung or Kingston(not the budget ones tho as they fail more often)" which isn't very useful. Any help would be appreciated, Many thanks.

Just a large barrel that connects to the gutters of your house to collect rainwater.

Try and cool a PC using thermal mass alone. In the UK, a 350 litre water butt is the same price as a triple radiator. It would be pretty neat (but completely impractical) to see if plumbing the waterblocks directly to a couple of waterbutts and 700litres of water is actually worthwhile at providing better temps. You could even put the pumps in the waterbutts and the waterbutts outside to get rid of the noise completely. Might need a bit of antifreeze though in Canada.

As the title suggests, I plan to dual boot mx linux and windows by installing them on two different ssd's. I don't want to mess around with bootloaders or anything like that as I don't plan to switch between os' very frequently (only when I need to run a windows program). I already have windows installed. Can I simply disconnect the windows ssd and connect a blank ssd to install mx linux before reconnecting the windows ssd and changing the boot order in the bios so the mx linux one is first? Many thanks

As it turns out, it was a theme in chrome that was messing up the tabs. I changed the theme and it is all fine now. Thanks for the suggestion though.

For some reason, all of the inactivate tabs on chrome look strange and some are completely blurred. Any suggestions of possible fixes? I have already tried disabling hardware acceleration.

Check out @smicha 14x 1080's render station. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxzzySn5rLO7S6ui4D_wCwQ?&ab_channel=smicha7 Seems pretty similar to what you want.

Get a 256 gb MLC ssd of your choice to act as cache then a 4tb Red for mass storage

Can you sell the shavings as scrap?

Did you really have to say this 3 times?

You learn something new everyday. Thanks Sebastian-Very informative

At our school it is: 9 = High A* 8 = Scrape A* 7 = A 6 = B etc....

OPUS support please. But then you'll have to rename it.

Why don't you upload the WAN Show in 4k upsampled vs 1080p @LinusTech?

@nickmlg More thumbnails like this please. Shows off the product (kinda) and hints at the opinion of the presenter, Much better than what ever this is. https://postimg.org/image/obdhc7u1l/

Question @AshleyAshes. Although you are right about how compressing a lossy video format into another lossy video format such as h264 into h265 will always result in a loss of information/degradation in quality and the simple solution is to simply have more HDD space. Have you not considered for the majority of people who aren't cinephiles won't be able to tell the difference due to the limitations of their TV or projector and instead just want to save some money instead or have an encoded h265 version to backup into the cloud in case their house burned down and all their blue ray rips were destroyed. If quality was of the up most concern, why don't the published simply use the RAW recording and not compress it at all (I am not an expert in this field so this is actually an honest question) or encode it in h265 to begin with (also an honest question).

you say "faster" (than ram) and then say "bottleneck from SATA." WHAT? SSD's are orders of magnitudes slower the RAM. Maybe when xpoint comes out definitely not at the moment

I think people just use the c word to act "cool" in the comments sections. Much improved Edzel. Keep it up.
