Daaaaamn! I'd say it would be worth re-buying the cable... For science! Thinking about it, you could probably find it used for cheap?

Ahahaha! I just watched the video, and had the exactly same thought, but I made an entire thread on it. I really, really, really, want them to test out that cable! Thread is Here, if you care to bump it.

I commented on the wire testing Youtube video, but I know I would be stoked, if the team tested the Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 from This old video! Did it pass the HDMI standard from its day. Will it somehow be of higher HDMI spec? I'm super curious. Its possible, that if you bought it back in the day, (I'm sure it was HDMI 2.0a, or perhaps 2.0b) that it might be up to the HDMI 2.1 spec? Other than that, I'm obviously a looong time viewer. Keep up the good content LTT Team! PS: I don't use these forums often, obviously. Moderator, if this post belongs in another thread, please move it!

Is it possible? I was planning on getting the Taichi Ultimate Z390 and putting an 8700K into it, and upgrading to a 9th gen chip later on. I thought it the 9th gen was backwards compatible on both ends, but my co-workers have told me they might not be. I've done some google searches and gotten zero results for my use case. Anyone know?

Do not assume everyone knows what you know. There are BILLIONS of people around the world who don't have a clue. While the title is click-batey, this last SSD video isn't necessarily incorrect. Depending on how you look at it, the more value oriented SSD's are qualitatively worse. If your a consumer who doesn't care, or doesn't know, then you wouldn't mind. That being said, as an IT Technician at Fry's Electronics, I deal with customers who don't know anything about computers each and every day, and I dread having to explain to customers the reason why their SSD's failed in a couple years, and I will say, "because the quality, for a while at lease, went down." Assuming that future SSD R&D moves in a different direction, which I doubt.

@nicklmg I actually have a question about the video's content. So its explained, and re-confirmed that the what I call 50% rule; if more than 50% of your HDD/SSD's space is utilized, than your performance will go down, also applies to SSD's. Thats something great to know, but I have a question on that topic. Will under partitioning your SSD, IE, only partitioning 500GB of 1TB SSD, and filling 50% of the 500GB also cause a performance drop or will under partitioning your SSD compensate for the performance loss at that 50% mark? Speaking on the direction of the channel, I've been a constant viewer for years now, and I think the channel is fine. Some of the super cringe content irks me at times, but there is a reason I watch the daily uploads, every day. LTT is unique, always has been. Does the click bate get irritating at times? Sure, but you have to do it because of Youtube. Anyone who doesn't understand this FACT, needs to get over it.

Ok? Thanks for the hostile words? I don't feel insecure? Your post was pretty good, down to the last paragraph where it turned insulting? Wtf dude? CCP espionage is a fact. All this post is about is concerns for spying of a foreign government (Excluding the fans of LTT who are Chinese) who farm data. Do Company's do it? Sure they do. Do they also sometimes sell that data to foreign governments? Like Facebook likely does? Sure. The difference is, that this IS the CCP spying on foreign users. Not US, or EU Company's. The Chinese Communist Party is directly, through its government owned company's. Am I personally insecure? Not really. Do I own a Xiaomi Phone? No. Why does this post exist? As I eluded in my original post, I'm curious as to how much personal data the CCP would gather from foreign users, in more of an intellectual exercise. And I think it'd be a super interesting video for LTT to do. I'm not a mod, but I request that you please keep your personal attacks on other users away from these forums. If you want to go attack people on the internet, and be a keyboard warrior, go to 4Chan, or the Youtube Comments Section.

Hey Guys! So I just watched the "WHY Buy a Chinese Phone?" and I had some concerns that, if one doesn't follow current news, on China specifically, wouldn't know this information. I'm not saying that this is true, but I have a concern, that LTT could possibly look into? China, under the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is a Police State. Everything the Chinese Citizen does is monitored, everywhere they go, everything they do online, everything. Its Scary. One of the things that the CCP does, is control App's. When Linus brought up the Weather App, and rightly asked why the app wanted all the permissions it didn't need, it raised some red flags, and alarm bells for me, personally. LTT. One of the things you guys could do, that would be super useful is to look into the Chinese Android OS's, and if possible, look into how much personal information they are gathering, and sending back to Chinese Servers, and by extension, the Chinese Communist Party. I don't really want to get political. This is not the Political Post. The only thing I will say, is that there is a difference between the Chinese People, and China, and the Chinese Communist Party. It would be the Party that is doing this, not the People of China.

When it comes down to it, what companies you like, and which you don't like its personal opinion and experience. Personally I prefer ASUS, when they provide the products. Motherboards, SSD's and Video cards from ASUS normally (But not always) have higher quality control, and if its an older type of product, they've especially learned from any mistakes and missteps they've made in the past and improve it in the next model/generation. Again, for some people with the NVIDIA-AMD, and Intel-AMD war, its about experience/flavor, though personally, it falls to your price/quality preference. If you want more budget products, go with AMD. If you want performance and are willing to pay for it, go with Intel/NVIDIA. Though NVIDIA is really pulling ahead with the 10 series, I'm personally not sure if AMD will ever catch up. I feel like they've resigned to being the budget company for the most part, though theirs nothing wrong with that. On another note, Intel has utterly confused me with this "We're not a tech company" tomfoolery.

Lurker here. Super cool looking projector. I've been a fan of projectors for years, I've been saying for a long time that projectors would eventually overtake TV's, and still firmly believe in that. This is a cool one, being able to be so close to the surface its projecting on, but the price point... Good lord. Isn't as bad as projectors in its field were 5-6 years ago, but still a lot to chew on. Once Projector tech gets affordable, and we science it up enough to where lighting isn't an issue, is when we'll really see it flourish.

Because Im unsure of the quality of any of the devices, I think my favorite device goes to the Cherry brown switched keyboard. Keyboards, and headsets are near and dear to my heart. ♥ Good luck to everyone else who's entered!
