Athan Immortal

I'm so impressed, but I have so many questions. I mean they went back to the Langley house, they were specifically kicked out of there by the Langley council for filming in a residential home or running a business from there. I didn't even know Linus still owned it. How did they get everyone there without panicking the street, that many people is not subtle. And it's not like it's a bit of set dressing to look right, they had actual networking going, people scrubbing through footage on premier. The editors, the writers, the clothing/fashion dept. They filmed a gamelinked or techlinked from there. They did a short circuit, a WAN show. They weren't just there for like 3 hours, this was a massive effort, and they clearly went BACK to do WAN show. WHO IS STAYING THERE? WHO AGREED TO THIS? WHAT DID THEY TELL THE NEIGHBOURS??

I don't have a whole lot to add, well done for pursuing such a complicated project But I did just want to say that I think some anti-cheat systems have a problem with virtual machines. Easy Anti-Cheat and whatever Valorant uses, I believe might ban you if you play a multiplayer game with them, so double check on that before you go for any games with an account you care about.

Mine was 99/2000, a cooler like this (not my picture but I highlighted the retention mechanism, this is a socket A cooler). This was in the barbaric days when you'd have to jam a flat head screw driver in there, press down and angle it out to hook over the socket. Oh and there was no heat spreader, it was direct die contact like the original AMD Athlon, so you were also hoping that you wouldn't crack the silicon while you PRESSED DOWN.... ON THAT SUCKER... GET... ON THERE DAMN IT! Amusingly this is actually one of the better examples of this, there were many cheap coolers that didn't have the side guards, so your screw driver could slip out the side and hit the motherboard too. I am so grateful for how coolers are these days usually with multi-corner screw downs, or at the very least a leaver that lets you hook the cooler on then increase pressure.

Modern Vintage Gamer warns against it (well sort of, I mean he does make videos about modded consoles and security). If Nintendo comes up with a detection it's very likely to get a console banned. Gary Bowser's name is also popping up here as well.

It's a shame because these events were landmarks. New generations of consoles, next games in franchise reveals, collaborations, friendships and business partnerships made because they could meet at an event like this. While I understand in this era it just makes more sense to make a well rehearsed, filmed and almost sterile stream for youtube or twitch or whatever, it's not the same as an audience reaction to something. Some of my favourite E3 moments were. Valve showing off Half Life 2's new face tech, having G-man a coy little look Halo 2, when Master Chief picks up and dual wields guns for the first time The cheer when Phil Spencer announced backward compatibility for the Xbox One When GlaDOS interrupted the Sony E3 2010 conference to deploy a surprise

I wonder if Intel got an inside line that this was coming and did a pre-emptive strike. Because honestly it looked so slap dashed together and not considering how many of the actions they're accusing AMD of they themselves have done. With that said, these points are great. All cores use the same INSTRUCTION SET All cores have the same IPC All cores can multithread SMT Doesn't require hardware OS SCHEDULER All cores are EFFICIENT All cores can improve GAMING Every one of those points really highlights how complex Intel's chips have gotten. I kind of liked the idea of efficiency cores, but they really have added such a layer of complexity, where AMD seem to have followed the Keep it Simple philosophy.

I've had Ryzen since day 1 in 2017, a 1700X, followed by 3700X, a laptop with a 4500U and now a 5800X3D. Despite appearances I'm not team anything, I just buy what's best in my budget at the time. The AMD naming scheme for their 7000 laptops is BS. It's very misleading because people have been trained to look for the series by the thousand. It was bad enough when you'd have the likes of the 3400G being Zen+ instead of Zen 2, but we're now talking about several generations of hardware difference in expectation. With that said, Intel are on shaky ground considering their intended naming scheme for their next gen of processors, and changing their fab processes names to match TSMC. 10nm to Intel 7 for example. It's all designed to be confusing. We're in some of the best time for consumer processors in years, and deceptive naming like this just creates confusion.

Nah I'm in support of it being a news topic here for discussion, I just can't understand how it was missed here, weird

Wait, this didn't get a post here? This "news" is almost 2 weeks old, am I imagining it? I thought they even covered it on WAN show? Yeah it was the one they had to splice so it wasn't in the Live section, Gamelinked covered it 10 days ago

93,221 on an old Samsung Spinpoint 1tb, definitely on it's way out according to the Smart status. My first SSD from ~2013 is still running in my server, 80,674 hours. And on the high usage SSD side, 102TB lifetime writes to my Crucial MX100 500gb. It's my sacrificial lamb, so Photoshop scratch disk, video editing and rendering, Nvidia Shadow play. Any time I play a game this drive is getting 300mb a minute written to it. At this point all three of these drives are experiments to see how long they'll last.

Pro-tip when dealing with companies for warranty. You used it ENTIRELY IN SPEC WITH NO DEVIATION OR OTHER EQUIPMENT!

Can't help but agree with Steve's points. I already had a concern watching the "working for lmg" videos where the overwhelming feedback was "I wish we didn't have to go so fast". And I remember watching some of those videos that were highlighted, granted I didn't catch the cooler temp deltas, but I did see the techquickie video that kept having to Asterisk so many of it's points for bad maths, and at one point I had said to a friend "Why didn't they just cut to b-roll and re-record the voice for this?" I like LMG, I like the fun janky project videos, and frankly with their budget it means they're able to do what some can't, but I can't ignore what's being brought up in this video, and I already had problems with the amount of corrections and asterisks being put in. If they want to be taken seriously for accuracy in testing, they also need to be willing to forgo their metics and remove wrong videos. Also the Billet Labs thing is unforgivable. Auctioning off something that wasn't yours, that's been specifically requested back, not cool, they definitely need to publicly address that. And I'd go further and say they need to reach out to who bought it, even if it's a general call out on social media and buy it back for Billet. What I'll be interested to see is... do they invite Steve onto the WAN show? Would they dare? And would Steve show up? Because it's honestly in Linus' best interest to squash this immediately. These are legitimate concerns.

Post the solution. The internet is full of posts of "Fixed it" that don't say how they did it.

Shortcircuit Ebay sponsorship. Specifically to do with refurbished phones video from 1st August 2023, the recent ShortCircuit video was sponsored by Ebay. Louis Rossman did a video on it with a refurbisher (Credit @Caillou on Floatplane for the link). In summary, Ebay told the refurbishers they could no longer sell phones in the refurbished category and had to put them in Used. The seller then applied to join the refurbisher program on ebay, but was first asked to sign an NDA before they could even see the terms. I find it very hard to trust the whole ebay refurbished program now when they feel the need to hide the terms of their refurb category behind NDAs. This isn't something that would stop me watching, but it kind of leaves a bad taste.

This as I understand it is the main problem. So many deployments already on Cuda of some sort, or just ready for Nvidia. The savings that AMD offer put it in a weird spot where someone who has the money to buy these could probably stretch to the Nvidia option anyway and save retraining or reprogramming their workflows. I think they may find a home in some new super computers built specifically with these in mind at huge scale where the saving would scale, but I don't know.
