    The Crew

    Or you could: A.Pirate the game B.Buy it when it's on steam for $9.99 C.Buy it used. All of the above options would give Ubisoft little to no money.
  2. You want to spend $200-$400 for a fitness tracker with bad battery life?
  3. Well in return for it being fatter it has a regular mechanical watch face which can be viewed without wasting battery life, and when you consider that these smart watches have 200-300mAh batteries that's a big deal.
  4. Here's the original post, if @spwath is to be trusted.
  5. I'm pretty sure that the monitor that would slide out is pre-selected, and even if you could replace that monitor you'd have to find a 144hz panel that's only 15.6".
  6. Guess VESA isn't pushing Adaptive Sync on 1.3.
  7. Chrome has been glitchy in general. I have Chrome installed alongside Canary because I use the two for different types of browsing so that I can keep track of everything more easily rather than having to sign in and out of different profiles. Lately the first time I open Canary after I boot the PC up Canary freezes and I have to shut it down through task manager, following the termination of the process it'll work without a hitch. That aside I recently had to reinstall Chrome because it and Canary weren't playing well, having the same profile open on the same pc at the same time corrupted some of the files in the directory and I had to reinstall it. Had to in the sense when I tried to open Chrome the process would be there but nothing would show up, it would just sit there. spoiler may derail, I know OP said the intention of this post isn't about which browser is the bestPS. Not sure why the text is green at the end, there's no formatting on it.PPS. is it green for you to or is it just for me?

    MFW someone in the classifieds wants 90$ for RA…

    And were that to be the case you can't deny that it would be a good deal. However because there is the Amazon listing for $92, which the seller may not be aware of, his listing is going to be largely ignored and ridiculed.

    You also have to consider that he may have bought the ram from a different seller, he says it's fresh from corsair so he might've bought it directly from their site for $115. In addition he's covering shipping costs which for him would have cost probably around $5 originally and another $5 now to ship to the buyer. So in total it's cost him $125, and he's selling it for $90. So from the sellers perspective you're saving $35,...

    Well it's NIB and were his assumption -that Newegg was the only ®etailer that carried this ram for that price- correct then the price would be justified. I mean the next lowest price is ShopBLT at $103. But since Amazon has them for $92.18, essentially the same price, the deal is more or less worthless. I mean there's very few people that want to save those $2 (not even $3)so badly that they will deal with an independent seller rather than somebody like Newegg or Amazon.
  11. You don't have to, Linus has enough followers that you won't make that much of a difference on your own. I personally use adblock on a majority of sites and I just have it auto-disable on LTT.
  12. Yes you'd have to uninstall the entire heatsink to remove the little railing thing on the side before you bend the metal. at the top of the frame, otherwise it'd get in the way. And then there's the issue of bending the metal itself.
  13. Newegg has OCZs (relatively) new Vertex drive, the 460, available for a discounted price of $104.99 from the RRP of $124.99. This drive has performance near that of the best consumer SSDs with sequential read and write speeds exceeding 500MB/s and random 4K read and writes in excess of 80,000 IOPS. To get it for this price use the promo code below, and if you're unsure whether or not you want to buy this drive then you better make up your mind fast since this is the lowest price, that I'm aware of, that this drive has been sold for and this price is only available until midnight PST on Sept 15. promo code: EXLPAWE26
  14. Very few companies that are as large as AT&T don't bribe politicians.

    You know that topic about 1million subscribers…

    A. we wouldn't know if it was him or not since multiple people seem to have access to his account. B.They aren't just Linus' hired help, they're just as much a part of LTT/LMG as Linus and Slick.
  16. Sent a message, via their support page, asking if they'd honor the advertised price. Doubt they will but occasionally somebody decides to humor you. If I don't get a response by noon MST I'll call their support line to ask.

    Is it bad to have the fan speed on 100% on MSI…

    How would it be bad? Aside from acoustically.
  18. Do you plan to game at 2160p,1440p, or 1080p? Because for 1080p something like a GTX 770 would be fine, and it wouldn't be too bad for 1440p.
  19. What about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820173011&cm_re=sandisk_ultra_ii-_-20-173-011-_-Product
  20. It also has subpar performance when compared to steam in-home streaming and Nvidia gamestream services.
  21. No gamestream is only from your pc or notebook to one of Nvidia's Shield devices. Nvidia hasn't announced any plans to expand it to streaming from one pc to another. There is always Steam in-home streaming though.
  22. I quoted all the people who voiced concerns, I recall there being something like 15 people. I realize that there would have been some that didn't decide to comment but still felt that way but I doubt that it would have raised it more than another 5%,it would have still been one of the two last place options giving everyone the same conclusion -that by and large the LTT community is able to continue to have faith in LTT/LMG with this sponsor-, so while I regret not giving everyone a choice that could closely match their views I believe that this polls outcome would have been quite similar even if the option had been available from the beginning. About a third of the thread views and about as many votes occurred after I amended the poll (IIRC ~1200 views and some 70-80 votes), however even if you triple the results for the last option and take the 12% away from one of the two top options they'd still be in the lead.
  23. There's at least one person that has complained about every sponsorship LMG/LTT has had, so if he didn't take a sponsorship any time he had to wonder whether every single person would approve of it then he'd be flat broke living in a box. And he didn't (have to) ask, he made the decision and felt it was right. I then asked how the community felt and Linus added in after 5 pages of comments that he's paying attention to how people feel about the sponsorship.
  24. What actually happened. McCartney: Lets make a bet, lets toss a coin you give me $500,000 right here right now if I win and if you win I do anything you want no questions asked. Bungie Dev: Deal. I call tails. *Bungie Dev pulls out coin that has tails on both sides.Flips coin.Tails.* McCartney: well shit, best two out of three? Bungie Dev: Sure, why not. If you lose again You owe me $500,000 plus the favor from the last bet. Mccartney: Okay but if I win then I owe you nothing, and you owe me $500,000. Bungie Dev: Okay I call tails. *flips coin,Tails again.* Bungie Dev: *whispers* Sucker.
  25. Have you tried playing something like DOTA without VSync? It makes me nauseous, in a literal sense, I actually feel my stomach churning.
