    Okay, I agree that gigabit connect nationally would be required (1024 Mb up and down) 10 gigabit nationally seems like a pretty excessive goal to stream video.
  2. Deusrex
    Why? 10 gigabit doesn't solve the latency issue.

    I wish you would have provided component lists for the 9 computers you're listing. I understand why you didn't but I think it would have been helpful.

    If you're using somba make use it's using SMB 2 (or later) explicitly, and no one had a share set up with SMB 1. As that's a route in for the worm.

    If they would have taken out the "value" portions of the video, and edited in a new intro "Silent air cooled PC for under $1000", it might have saved it, but even under messure it was a pretty piss poor component selection. Honestly I think it was a pretty bad build even in a non-Ryzen world.

    I just watched it (I skipped them the first time because I did not think he would throw that guy under the bus like that) even with that explained I think it's a really bad build, and the concerns should have been addressed in the video. It makes more sense now why it turned out that way though.

    Me to, it really completes the illusion of a burning pile of crap on your neighbors door step.

    The OSI Model what it is and why it's actually really relevant to know.

    When did he address it? All he did was say he was going to, and referred to it as fisting his audience.

    Indeed be quite! makes perfectly good equipment, it's arguably worse than the Noctua's equivalent, but looks way better, which in this build (with a window) can add value. Furthermore if his goal was a "whisper quite build for under 1k" than these components make way more sense, especially with the build being done before Ryzen's release. But none of that is IN the video, no justification given for the parts no context whatsoever. He even mentioned this backlash in the WAN show and forgot to cover it. Maybe he'll have another honest answers. Edit: he did actually address it, I skipped it, my bad.

    He's not a multi-billionaire or something. He has a successful small business, he hasn't become a oil magnate.

    This build is almost $1400 in CAD. Edit: I forgot the ram in the first screenshot.

    "You got rid of them. Yes, that's just like you. Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it. Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them...But you don't do either. Neither suffer nor oppose. You just abolish the slings and arrows. It's too easy." ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

    Seems like it could be really useful to the right person. I find it really fascinating that the computer market is focusing more and more on ever smaller market segments. It's nice to see, but I'm not sure there isn't going to be a backlash at some point.

    So your plan is to what? Overhaul the entire economy with fairy dust and gum drops? What other economic system would propose? Anarcho-capitalism, no because it has all of the problems of capitalism but no way to regulate anything and the idea that the "market" would adjust is a fantasy. Oh I know we could go with communism, because "that wasn't real communism/Socialism" even though that's what everyone says when it's their turn to try it and when it fails, it fails because "it wasn't really... Blah, blah, blah". I know we could go facists, sure free thought will be sacrificed but hey the trains will run on time and everyone will be employed, weather they like it or not. Oh I know we could do anarcho-comunism or as of call it the paradox social order. It's like you're two idiot friends from high school voltroned into a new more powerful idiot, and some how losing the few likeable qualities they had. You know what call me crazy, but I think I'm gonna ride this one out, and cry myself to sleep with my land of plenty and liberty.

    The jump from my statement of "most businesses aren't big corporations, and they are run by individuals who care about things other than just money." to you basically calling me racist, and trying to use your pseudo intellectual double speak to hide it was pretty epic there. You've never held a job, never run a business, and/or have little to no understanding of economics. The world is a harsh place, it's always going to be a harsh place. Blaming corporations for doing what corporations do is insane. Furthermore to say they do more harm than good is blatantly false. Are business or corporations perfect? Obviously not, but that doesn't mean that their inherently evil either.
  19. Deusrex
    Once, I'm not trying to say you think it's good. Just trying to explain, it being "bad" isn't my problem with the build, rather the fact it's being portrayed as good. In so far as it being a good value.

    be quite! sponsoring the video doesn't absolve them from putting out misleading information. The whole point of a video like this is to help newbies build their first PC. If this was the first video I saw and was convinced that this was the best way to spend my $1000 for my first build I would be pissed when I later learned it was a horrible build. Don't get me wrong, most of the time first time builds are a trian wreak, but they don't need (likely unintentionally) misleading information on top of inexperience. This is why I am upset about this video, I've pointed to LTT for people to get honest information about pc hardware and building advice and this video reeks of dishonesty.
  21. Deusrex
    Let me put it a different way, the besrbones you need for this pc to work (CPU, memory, mobo, and storage) comes to about $500 you're telling with that budget of components picked you're going to seriously suggest they spend $250 on the case, cooler, and PSU? You feel that'd be the best use of the budget?

    The problems with this video go way beyond not using Ryzen. The motherboard costs less than a the case it's being put in. Have you ever built a pc where the case was more expensive than your motherboard?

    This is an idiotic statement, are many or even most large corporations solely driven by money? Sure but to use that as a blanket statement for All business is just dumb. Costco for example, pays it's employees a living wage because they think it's moral not because it makes them more money. My brother in law is is a general contactor and helps out his employees all the time to the detriment of his bottom line. He gives honest pricing for insurance work rather than gouging for more money. You can say that an examples like this are the exception that proves the rule, but most businesses aren't big corporations, and they are run by individuals who care about things other than just money.

    This would not work for the video because it was sponsored, I honestly think the problem with this video was the price point more than the parts selection. It should have been a $1500 build that would have given enough head room to use parts equivalent in price point to the be quite parts used.
  25. Deusrex
    I understand that you guys have to make money, but I have a big problem with this build video and I think it comes down to if I went over to a family members house and they showed me this computer and said someone sold it to them for say $1200 (a system builder has to make money) I would think they got ripped off. Mostly because of the extremely limited upgrade path. This feels like the sort of computer that someone built to force you to buy a new computer rather than upgrading your own. Furthermore the bequite! parts you used are fine but they do not fit this price point, you know they don't, and you never addressed that in the video. This feels dishonest, and I normally really respect your content, but this was disappointing to say the least.
