So I was watching the Yogscast live stream where they were building a threadripper based system (don't judge, I was watching for the build). When tightening the torx screw that holds the CPU into place, Turps tightened it far too much, you can hear the torque wrench click twice before it finally shearing. It was literally the most cringeworthy thing (even by Yogscast standards) that I have ever seen.

Sorry. My internet has been off all day so have had to use my mobile

So I was scrolling down Facebook and saw this video. The middle part is from the long cable video from a few years ago. They didn't give credit for using the video https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154909517455787&id=7519460786

I only used it a couple of times when I was in college to get past the blocking of sites. I actually forgot I had it installed until I went through the extensions

From what i can see the only people with the problem are the people using the Chrome extension so I don't see how it could be an app that is the problem

So, I (used to up until today) use Betternet VPN so that I could access blocked sites in college, but today when I loaded up my laptop I had adverts everywhere. I opened Chrome as a guest and they went. So naturally I disabled all extensions and enabled them one by one to find the problem. And to my surprise it was Betternet. If you look at the reviews in the Chrome Web Store everybody seems to be having the same problem so if you have it installed, uninstall it. I don't know whether it was intentional or whether they were hacked but until now they seem to have been reputable.

Why don't they just use CSF as a channel to upload the short 'vlog style' videos since that channel is by his own admission already dead. That would negate the problem of losing revenue on the main channel and I think most of us who would be interested in watching are already subscribed

I feel as though it is everyday that i make a post on here about talktalk. So i've been having problems with my broadband speed for a few weeks now, I'm onto my 3rd router now and I still have really slow speeds (15 instead of the 40 i pay for), but today my router disconnected from the internet and all of a sudden my upload speed has increased from 2mbps to 10mbps. Anybody else with talktalk had their upload speed increased or is it just a problem with my line (not that i'm complaining)

I am just too far away for the 5G network to be usable. I'm only getting around 15mbps down instead of the 30mbps. Before I swapped the HG633 for my Draytek, my laptop connected perfectly so I don't think it's a problem with the router

Okay, so I dug out a TalkTalk HG633 that I got free from TalkTalk and decided to use it as an AP. The 5G network works fine, but when i connect to the 2.4G network, my laptop's WiFI card resets and the network disappears from the list. Any idea what the problem could be? BTW, the network works fine on my phone

One word... SSD

As much as I would like to watch SYW Ep 2, Doctor Who is on in 2 minutes so it'll have to wait

Look at Jerry's (barnacles) video. He said it was quite good

1 word - Ryzen

Right. So I'm looking for a new PSU but all the decent ones on Amazon are out of stock or overpriced. I looked at Ebuyer and they have loads of PSUs branded Ace and CiT for cheap. I'm guessing that they are just rebranded generic PSUs but has anyone had any experience with them? http://www.ebuyer.com/566861-ace-black-120mm-fan-500w-fully-wired-efficient-power-supply-psuace500br http://www.ebuyer.com/255701-ace-520w-12cm-fan-sata-20-4pin-grey-psu-psuace52012cm

So I've had the Vodafone Smart Platinum 7 since November and have noticed already that there is some screen burn in where the on screen buttons are. I had the Galaxy S4 for years and, granted it didn't have on screen button, but the status bar didn't burn in for at least a year. I never have the brightness above 50% unless I'm outside, so could this just be normal or is the panel degrading faster than it should?

That was so cringe, I had to turn it off

I figured out what the problem was. After reading the TalkTalk forums (my ISP) i found out that the router that they supply is an absolute piece of... well, you know. Everybody else who has the router has been reporting the same problem, and it has been going on for over 6 months now and they've done nothing about it. I took my Draytek AP that I have upstairs and replaced the TalkTalk provided unit with it since it supports VDSL, and have had no problems since. And the range on the Draytek unit is far superior so I don't even need the second AP upstairs

Okay, so for the past few days I've been having problems with my WiFi. Whenever I try to download a large file (over say 50mb) then after a minute or so, the internet speed will drop to 16Kbps (according to task manager), stay at that speed for a few seconds, then disconnect. After reconnecting, the same thing happens. This happens when I connect to both my router's built in WiFi and my Draytek AP, but doesn't happen when I connect to another WiFi network. Anybody have any ideas how I could troubleshoot this?

So, while I was looking on Amazon to see if 7700Ks were available yet, I found an AMD A10-7700K. For a quarter of the price of the Intel I7-7700K, I was wondering if the AMD will beat the Intel in games

It supports the 1151 socket type which is also compatible with the 1150 socket

Anybody else think The Hellbaskets Club would be a good name for The Floatplane Club?

Yeah, but why not end the season before Christmas and restart it in say February like we do?

Being from Britain, I naturally despise america and everything they do. I disagree that American TV networks care about understanding consumers, in America everything is down to how much money they can squeeze out of the people (like having advertisements every 5 minutes), whereas here I do think they bother trying to understand the consumers, hence why a lot of our TV shows are known worldwide, like Downtown Abbey (which was truly dreadful imho), Top Gear etc. I think part of the problem in America is the fact that there are so many TV channels, so each channel is still throwing out TV shows hoping they'll stick, just to hope to get a few more viewers. You know, Ive never noticed how awful the word America is, it just doesnt roll off the tongue very well.

So I live in the UK and our TV shows typically have two series per year, like one every 6 months. Why is it that American TV shows have one long season (23 episodes I think) but have it seperated half way through. So half way through the season they will have a mid season finale, then finish the season a few months later. Why do they do this, it makes absolutely no sense to me. Wouldn't if be better to just have two seasons instead of one long one separated in the middle, I mean, isnt it already pretty much two seasons?
