I just watched the recent 'Why is EVERYONE Buying This Mic' video, and it left me with some thoughts.
 
Linus states he never encountered FiFine before, but featured one of their products in 'Top 5 Mics Under $50' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIQfDFARBLQ) where it did really well. I understand Linus may have forgotten, buy a simple word search trough previous scripts could have avoided this, is that not the job of LTT's professional writer team?
 
Linus then says the boom arm 'could break at pretty much any time' even though in the product demonstration it works perfectly fine, holding the microphone in place even with exaggerated movement, where the much more expensive premium solution next to it falls on the table after being touched. The Amazon reviews also do not back up this claim and it feels like the price point is completely ignored, just to be able to add something to the 'cons' list of the review. 
 
The included cable ties are not shown, but people are recommended to buy 15 dollar LTT ones instead. For a super low budget mic? Why? I get promoting LTTstore is good for business, but that's a pretty tone-deaf statement for such a low cost product.
 
At 9:35 Linus mentioned the downside of an omni-directional mic, but was it that hard to actually demonstrate how much this mic picks up keyboard and mouse clicks? Maybe so the audience can hear for themselves and compare it to some other mics?
 
At 11:20 three 5-star reviews shown on screen, but two of them are the same review. Not a huge deal, but another indicator of a lack of care and oversight that was missed at several stages; during editing and (presumedly) during the review process of the final video before uploading.
 
At 12:00 Linus says there aren't too many bad reviews but they are a 'red flag' and a reason people might want a more expensive version. Is this claim substantiated? Any popular Amazon product will have a number of bad reviews. Where is the comparison to 1-star reviews from the premium brands to support this claim? What about the 'it's fine as long as the company makes it right' attitude?
 
This is just one video, and probably a filler video. It's meant to be a simple product review, but this is not how to do a proper review. Adding some graphs and other data from LABS did not elevate the standard of the review itself.
 
Sorry for the long text, but to get to the point I would like to make: why focus so much on writing a catchy script rather than focus on what makes a good review? Like listing pros and cons based on actual experience? And drawing a conclusion from that? Comparing the product to similarly priced options, rather than Apple EarPods and pro-grade equipment?
 
We need experienced reviewers, not experienced writers who don't know how to structure a basic product review. Thoughts?

LMG doing a video on Linux? Maybe, but they'll probably cover Ubuntu or Mint, not some niche build that's only used by security professionals who don't need Linus' videos, and scriptkiddies or other wannabe hackers.
 
You'll have a better chance over at TekSyndicate, or Crit or whatever their name is now.

For gaming in the near future, say the next 2 years, the 2600X will be fine. After that, it's really hard to say.
 
Are more games going to properly use all the cores of the 2700X? No one knows at the moment. There are some rumors of the next Playstation coming out maybe the end of this year and more cores on that system could mean ports to the PC would also utilize more than 4 cores effectively. However, none of that is confirmed.
 
If you really want to keep your hardware for 5 years, I'd say buy the best you can get because it will be almost obsolete at that point, and the extra cost per year is very small.
That said, I would get the 2600X and upgrade the CPU near the end of the AM4 lifecycle.

They are probably looking for someone who has the mental capability to figure out if they meet the requirements mentioned in the video.

The main reason I used to partition drives was to save certain data when reinstalling Windows. And sometimes just because it seems more organised to me, like music on one partition, video on another. 
 
Unless you want to dual boot off that drive, those are still the only reasons I can think off why you would partition it in your case. 

No, don't know where you live but it's probably not possible to register as self-employed at your age.
Also don't know what you want to design, but I don't think you'll find a lot of customers who are going to take a 14 year old serious. 

Some kind of hardware failure seems very likely. You'll have to do some testing to narrow it down.
Run memtest, to make sure it's not he RAM. Try using only 1 GPU, or maybe integrated graphics. Otherwise my money would be on the mobo gone bad.
 
Also, first thing I noticed looking at your hardware list, is you're running two power hungry cards on only a 650W PSU. Doesn't sound ideal
 

Sure, it will put a little extra pressure on things, although the tubes will also help hold your card up. I don't think it's a massive concern.
 
If you don't want a bracket, just put your case on the side. Problem solved.

Do some CPU based mining in the background.

Just spotted this:

 
same guy:

Yes, with a BIOS update. Don't know where you get the idea that the performance of Ryzen 2 is 'much higher', it's an incremental improvement and I would only upgrade from a Ryzen 5 to a Ryzen 7 for instance.

I own one like that, for EVGA Nvidia cards they're called "Hybrid", I've got a 1080 FTW Hybrid and it's great. There's also a Seahawk variant from MSI & Corsair and a Waterforce one from Gigabyte.

Again, I didn't say it does, but the website makes it sound like it can do that. (which would be illegal if it were possible)
And no, I also didn't say this product is illegal, just incredibly scummy.
 
Clickbait, fake Facebook reactions at the bottom of the page, 'military technology', 'a law that no television operator in the world wants you to know', mentioning how people don't like paying for certain services... Etc etc. the list goes on. 
Dodgy scummy website meant to mislead people like TS's wife.

Pee on it yourself to mark your territory.

Without upgrading? Turn down your settings.

If you have a 1X slot that's open at one end, you can put it in that and it will only use 1 lane. Imagine the savings!

Well if the slot is wired for 4 then it will use 4 lanes

You should always Google before posting a topic.

Google is your friend.
 
Tell him how to reset CMOS, and check the battery is still okay.
