  1. YouTube absolutely supports HDR. Here's why very few use it: The situation has improved somewhat since then, but there is a long road ahead still.
  2. Hard to consider what took place if you don't know (and you don't). As for the appropriateness of the joke, we've always been PG / PG-13. I don't think there's really gonna be an overall change there. A self-deprecating joke about one's own promiscuity/infidelity is well in-bounds, and watching that get turned into trivializing sexual harassment has been bizarre to behold. Projection is for watching movies, not posting in forums.
  3. Neat. You know someone who committed light tax fraud, so I expensed by pool, evading 10s of thousands of dollars in taxes? That's the logical leap that I object to. Also, my explanation is fine. An oversimplification, but fine. Would I be wrong if I said "cars can only be driven by their owners"? They are so easy to steal and people do it without getting caught so that's wrong then? Look, if you want to have a conversation about how tax law is so complicated that compliance is difficult and enforcement is nearly impossible and the way the current system allows the wealthy to pay less than their fair share, that's fair game. I agree. Just keep accusations against me out of it, unless you work for the CRA.
  4. 1. A pool at your personal residence is not a business expense no matter how many times you shoot a video in it. 2. I like your user name.
  5. That's a real bummer... Drilling new holes IS a valid option, but watch out for how tightly you screw it down... AM4 is significantly higher profile than LGA1xxx
  6. We called them out when we experienced reliability issues. Beyond that, we haven't experienced anything first-hand, so we don't really have any evidence for their reliability one way or the other.
  7. Ahhhh. It wasn't clear from your post. It sounded to me pike you hadn't heard back from them yet. Thanks for clarifying.
  8. ***EDIT*** Looks like the poster HAS contacted them and it's the inconsistency of their responses that is troubling. That makes much more sense. Original: The first party you should contact about this is Thorum. You should ask them for clarification about the attributes of the product you purchased, and then see how they resolve it. If they engage in any kind of malicious or fraudulent behavior, then you can raise it here. Maybe we should pin this or something because there seems to be some misunderstandings about what this thread is. It's not a support chat for any random company that LMG has ever mentioned in a video. It's a safety mechanism to ensure we aren't promoting talking points or products that are misleading or harmful to the user. We obviously do our own due diligence, but sometimes individual experiences can be enlightening, or long-term users can uncover issues that wouldn't be apparent to us in a short amount of time.
  9. Photoshop - AI aside - in the way that most people use it, is pretty much a 'solved' workload for modern GPUs anyway. That's why no one really includes it in their benchmark suites anymore.
  10. I wonder how many of the people who criticized this review are going to buy the Fairphone 5 and daily it for 7+ years. The last part is the most critical. If you aren't actually reducing your consumption, then you've accomplished nothing. You're like a Prius driver who rides around on your gas-hog ride-on-mower on your water-guzzling lawn in California. It's easy to virtue signal. It's hard to actually daily drive a device that is 'fair' but kinda sucks in every other way - including some SERIOUS usability problems (like the ringtone and vibration one).
  11. We're commonwealth and most of our pronunciation and spelling cues actually come from British English, not American English. We just watch so much American media that we end up with a weird mish-mash.

    @LinusTech pcmr-tng. :)

    Start em young!
  13. Hrm... My bad. I'll see if we can run a shipping promo or something at some point over the next couple months
  14. You can also just use it. Think of it as free shipping for your order when we launch the cable management stuff in Q1
  15. If it ever naturally wear through, we will replace it with an all-new bag. The 'virtual second layer' is our response to those folks. We've got u.
  16. No, there's no pitfall here. Anyone who was unhappy could get a refund, plain and simple. We conducted a voluntary recall. There's no issue. The $25 credit was a goodwill gesture.
  17. Yeah you can have a refund instead if you aren't satisfied either the bag. No one was meant to be misled. We just needed to have an expiry of some sort on the credit for accounting purposes.
  18. From an accounting standpoint, the situation is very different for a second hand buyer. You're not asking for a refund. You're essentially asking for us to purchase the bag bag from you. It's much more complicated. For that reason, the warranty is transferable, but a refund on the product is not. As support laid out, if it ever naturally fails due to the missing second layer, we would be happy to get you taken care of in accordance with our upgraded warranty policy for this product. Contrary to your post we never said you can't contact support again. We just aren't going to give you a different answer about this specific issue if you aren't able to get in touch with the original purchaser. For them, we could process a refund, because it would be a refund. You'd have to sort out the money with them from there. Hope this helps clear things up.
  19. This is the first I hearing of us coordinating anything about this project with you directly. I'll inquire about how expectations were set. If it helps at all, I can relate to your frustration. Every comment I see about how bad this review is makes me want to put my fist through the screen and shout "what part of any of this made it sound like a review??" The thing is, when 1M people watch something, if even 1% completely miss the point, that will be 10,000 people. No getting away from it. I think most people are pretty clear that we made no attempt to build this properly because it wasn't the point. Maybe there will be an opportunity to do a DIY headphone project where we build the Satyr 1 for real. I was very impressed by many aspects of the design and I think it could be a cool topic. It just wasn't the topic today and I'm sorry if you felt misled
