  1. It's a policy violation (a policy that didn't exist before, but things have been kinda crazy and even *I* get in trouble for talking without a pass from Chewie or the exec team these days), but Tanner knows his stuff and has been doing this long enough to both understand how/why we choose topics and how to evaluate the audience's reception to them. His exanation was thorough and accurate and contained less dnakriness than mine probably would have had. I'll vouch for him on this one He also snuck in a point that I'd like to reinforce. We are not a strictly entertainment channel and that's a gross micharacterization. We work hard to make videos that are both entertaining and educational. This one was chock full of what we call 'learning outcomes' and if you watch the whole thing I pretty much guarantee you'll come away with a couple of tidbits you didn't know. Not every way of learning has to be a university lecture and our community is packed with passionate people whose love of technology was ignited by our videos. If you don't think you're learning anything, then that just means weve done our job super well
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. Ahhhh. It wasn't clear from your post. It sounded to me pike you hadn't heard back from them yet. Thanks for clarifying.
  9. ***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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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).
  12. 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!
  14. Hrm... My bad. I'll see if we can run a shipping promo or something at some point over the next couple months
  15. You can also just use it. Think of it as free shipping for your order when we launch the cable management stuff in Q1
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
