Well to that I would say... First, I've never seen a "conversation" in the YT comments, never! And the way it's setup It's not going to happen. Second, without having access to actual statistics, if I look at the number of replies and content of those replies. The number of replies is a hit they could easily take and I don't think anybody posting on the forums would post the same in the comments, or post at all in the comments. By that logic, if you see the forums as a competitor to the YT comments, then why have a forum at all?

I've noticed LTT doesn't link the forum thread in the video description anymore, and also the creation of the forum thread lags behind the posting of the video by a day or so. Is there a reason for this change? Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I always preferred posting on the forum rather than in the comments. Completely different way of communicating and also completely different discussion. Also i feel the forums are a more direct and personal way to reach out to the LTT staff. Always nice to get a response from the creators.

The reason why Intel is producing China only chips is because of the sanctions. I'm not sure how it works, but somehow playing with the core count and specs allows them to circumvent the sanctions. As I understand it, the chips has the same P cores (8 vs 8), less E cores (8 vs 12) and less L2 cache (24 vs 28) but somehow more L3 cache (36 vs 33). Because the total number of cores and the total memory is below a threshold they are allowed to sell these in China. Intel says that chips are just as good for gaming. China has a total of 16 cores and a total of 61MB of L1, L2 and L3 combines while the western chip had 20 cores and a total of 63MB combined. That seems to be the magic threshold.

I totally agree with most of the conclusions and for its target audience power consumption is probably the last thing on their mind, but! I would've also liked to see a power consumption measurement. If you pull the power cost metric into the equation, then the performance picture changes a lot. Did you guys forget or is there another reason why not to measure the power cost? Seems weird because Linus does make a point to show the huge and expensive power supply.

Ok, I didn't know that.... How is that mechanism supposed to be tuned to an exact torque setting? It's more like between 2 and 3nM.

That is not a torque screwdriver, that is a T screwdriver (also not a wrench). People were overtorqueing their socket because a T screwdriver is purposly made for high torque. If you do not use a T screwdriver when you are supposed you will probably end up under torqueing. Also that is a stupid tool. A T screwdriver has that specific shape so you can really push down on it and excert force. AMD has the shaft sticking out at the top which means you can't hold it the way you're supposed, meaning you can't really torque it. So why include the T screwdriver when you can't use it the way you're supposed to? Just include a regulat screwdriver or a tool like Noctua does. I'm not going todo their research for them, just suggesting it's upto LTT todo with it what they will.

The guy calls himself Nexans? Seriously? He probably works there. I don't know about the requirement, but every experienced electrician knows it's a F'in good idea. The big brands have ratcheting screwdrivers but I find them too much of a hassle, changing the shafts and such. I have a set of regular screwdrivers, it's much quicker to have a set of regular screwdrivers in your pocket. The whole sets always comes in a pouch because else it's impossible to keep everything together. The pouch takes op too much space. However like I said the big brands have ratcheting VDE screwdrivers so there is probably a market for them. But maybe not the pro market. And the LTT audience doens't need a VDE certification as they probably won't work on high voltage BUT if you are going to produce insulated screwdrivers then it's a good idea to have them certified as somebody somewhere probably is going to use them for high voltage and have an accident. That then opens up a whole case of liability, I thought this and that because LTT said so and such. Wera has the Turbo screwdriver which I find usefull, so maybe have a look at that? Big big big disadvantage of the Turbo is that in turbo mode it's 2 handed use. Bought one, rarely use it but in some cases it is nice to have. Anyway a ratcheting VDE screwdriver doesn't make much sense (for me) but now I rememberd why I started about the VDE thing (started typing then I had to leave and when I came back I had forgotten). How about ESD screwdrivers and tools? You guys make all this fuss about having an ESD strap but don't carry ESD tools. Last I checked LTT Store doesn't even carry ESD straps, ESD gloves or ESD testers. Think there would be a huge market for those among not only LTT fans but the whole community. And ofcourse the whole torque thing. I mean look at the whole torque debacle with AMD sockets.

Don't agree with that. When screwing into a piece of wood you know when to stop. When you are setting up a piece of equipment which is worth 1M then everything is specified and documented. Or else you are liable for 1M which nobody wants. Nobody cooks as good as m mother if you're trying to say that but cook books and recepies are always specified with exact amounts. To get back to the 1M equipment. Over or under torqueing your PC hardware does have serious risks involved, whats that AMD bracket called again which can be over torqued destroying the Threadripper? Who's fault is that? AMD's for not specifying a torque spec? The motherboard manufacturer for not supplying the correct tools? Or yours because you were to eager? But having said all this, I'm not so sure what point you're trying to make. So manufacturers shouldn't supply torque specs and everybody should just accept they could put too much salt in their food?

Probably a long strech but any plans on making a VDE screwdriver? Well maybe not VDE certified but at least an insulated set? Like I said, probably not but just suggesting it. What would be usefull however, is a torque screwdriver. Torque specs is slowly starting to become thing in the industry and I can see LTT being the first to come out with a torque screwdriver made for PC building. For instance having a longer shaft (length of the shaft influences the torque) would be usefull when screwing down a cooler. Some manufacturers supply a long tool in the box so you can thighten down the cooler. I can see LTT pushing manufacturers to specifying torque specs on all their components. I would even go as far as calling it a revolution. I hate it when (LTT does this too) somebody says "finger thight" or "thight but not too thight", those are subjective terms. I've seen people over thightening their coolers soo much that they damaged their sockets, or cracked their motherboard. How do you strip a screw with a manual screwdriver? I don't know how but some people can do it. This other channel eFixx (electricians) did a video about "wrist torque". They asked electricians who said they didn't need a torque screwdriver to torque down screws and almost all of them over torqued it with a few under torqueing. None of them came near the correct torque spec while all of them were convinced they had it just right. So what I'm saying is "finger thight" or "not too thight" is subjective AF. I think this could be a mark LTT leaves on the industry. You better start specifying torque specs because we're starting the conversation and going to tell everybody about this. Wera, Wiha, Swiss Tools (PB Swiss) and Gedore (I know I'm European) all have a line up which could be used as a benchmark. One pitfall to concider however is price. A good set starts at 160 euro's and I don't think LTT could do much to break that price threshold. So is 160 euro's something an enthousiast is willing to invest in something they will need every once in a while. Having sais that I'm amazed at LTT's ability to ship such large amouts of the wrecheting screwdriver at that price point. So if there's anybody who can market a purpose built torque screwdriver it's LTT.

Everything about this says to me 1 man company out of a garage. He could've easily welded a few threaded standoff's and the GPU bracket on the inside and nobody would've been the wiser. If labor costs is an issue, high tack costs next to nothing.. just make sure you clamp down the two pieces, just like any other adhesive, like the one you used.

Seems like a rights problem to me, you somehow messed up the rights of the files. The files are still there because they are owned by another user. The easiest way would be to login as that user and empty the recycle bin. If that is not possible then do this, it will take ownership of the recycle bin, grant rights to everyone, remove system and hidden attributes and finally delete the complete folder. Don't worry about deleting the folder Windows will create a new one when you delete files again. Try taking ownership of all the files. Open a command prompt as administrator and try these commands. takeown /F "c:\$RECYCLE.BIN" /R /D Y icacls "c:\$RECYCLE.BIN" /grant Everyone:(OI)(CI)(F) /T attrib -R -S -H "c:\$RECYCLE.BIN" /S /D rmdir /S /Q "c:\$RECYCLE.BIN"

Just use the built-in Microsoft disk cleanup and select previous windows installation(s). Depending on your language it's named differently in the menu but you can find the executable under %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe I ussualy tick all the options and clean everything, ussualy a few GB's worth. Be carefull, older versions which were in Windows 10 and back used to delete the Downloads folder by default too. Is removed in newer versions but just be sure to untick the option if it's there and you have downloaded files you want to keep.

This guy built the cleanest desk setup, even cleaner then LLT's desk. He even called @LinusTech out on his clean desk. Sorry to say so, but he knocked Linus of his clean desk throne.

I've been experimenting with 3D printing toroidal propellers for my drone after watching this movie. Not an exciting new tech, just a good aplication of excisting knowledge. Atleast the propellers are quieter. I'm not sure if they can provide the same amount of pressure and flow, but I was thinking maybe a good application would be case fans aswell. @Noctua what do you guys think?

I've been through a similar thing. My company has 180 FTE rightnow and it has been a real challenge for me. On the one side I would like to continue doing the things I love todo which has made my company so big but on the other hand I have 180 people who depend on me to keep things running smoothly which takes up alot of my time and energy. Now I'm older I'm starting to notice that I just can't do everything anymore, I'm just too tired. It's alot more then it used to be and I don't have the energy anymore. Although it was a real moral boost for my employees I just can't go down to the production floor and start helping there when we are missing a person. People who have never hired workers (even just 1 person) do not realise how time consuming, costly, just everything humans can be. I used to think HR departments are stupid but now I can understand why big companies have a complete seperate department. Humans are just so annoying, they never do what you want them todo, they are so unreliable and the constant nagging and childish behaviour! Oh my god, the stories I have of just sitting there and thinking: "really, this is what you had to bother me for! You are a full grown person just figure it out and stop bothering me!". I decided to go the other way around. I've decided to focus on the managing, take on new tasks and new challenges. For me it was a slow realisation process and just letting go and truting others todo a as good or even beter job. Why am I doing this or this, when I'm paying that person todo that for me. In your case I can understand. You are the face of your company, you just cant stop producing videos and start focussing on management. I think in the long run this is the best sollution for your company and for us as your fans and viewers.
