    No problem.
    If I had to directly compare LTT's jacket (without actually owning the jacket!) I would compare it as...
    - If the down insulation actually works, I would slot it between Arc'teryx' Gamma LT ($225 USD) and Atom LT ($260)
    Gamma is breathable and wind/rain resistant, but zero insulation. Atom is the same to a lesser extent, but has insulation. And looks slightlyyy puffy.
    - If the down insulation is ineffective, I think it would compete with Fjallraven's Sten Jacket ($200) and Skogso ($225)
    Both jackets are different weights, and can both waterproofed to differing levels dependent on the user.
    The LTTStore is dumb as hell and doesn't include weight.

    It's priced accordingly to its competitors (e.g. Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Rab).
    It's an ultralight insulated jacket with light wind and rain resistance while also trying to be stylish. It's an expensive market, especially if you care about material quality.
    If you care about warmth, get a thick puffy from any store.
    If you care about waterproofing, get a rain coat, poncho, or umbrella from any store.
    If you care about being stylish, go to any fast fashion brand.
     
    If you care about a combination of all of those things while being lightweight, technical, and made well? Shell out some money.

    The schtick on this one seems to be the 3D "down" which doesn't seem super worth it to me, but obviously there's a market for every product. Linus wouldn't come out with a product without doing at least some research into the particular sector they are looking toward (or having that research done for him to get him up to speed, I have to imagine that's someone's job now).
     
    Seems like a well made product, same as anything else, and as they get into these higher end markets LTT is going to get more pushback on pricing, just like they did with backpack and screwdriver.

    zdemigod reacted to H713 in Help needed figuring out ways to upgrade my speaker setup   
    Here's my order:
     
    1st, you have usable speakers, so the next thing I'd do is make sure your room isn't a total train wreck. Modern building trends often involve atrocious acoustics. If your space is like this, start looking at acoustic treatment. Owens Corning 703 fiberglass is a proven material for this. IMO, if done right, acoustic treatment can be cosmetically pleasing as well.
     
    2nd, now that your room is "acceptable" is to look at a speaker upgrade. Elac and Revel have some really nice offerings in your price range, which you may want to look at. There are also some really great DIY speakers in this price range, the Zaph SR-71 (Seas drivers) or the Bagby Mandolin (SB Acoustics drivers) being some of the better options. For smaller rooms, the Zaph ZA5 is pretty cool. Room size, music choice, desired output level and musical preference all play into this choice. 
     
    3rd depends on how crusty the DAC on your motherboard is. If you feel that it's respectable, then I'd look at upgrading your power amp. Lots of options, both new and used. The Schiit power amps are a good option on the new market. Too many options to list on the used market. QSC PowerLight, Crest Pro series, most Rotel / Adcom amplifiers, anything MC2 or Bryston, the list goes on forever. 
     
    Generally speaking, the electronics are a few orders of magnitude more ideal than the transducers and the room acoustics, so they really are the last thing to be upgraded unless they simply don't meet the specifications you need (output power, noise, etc).

    I really like my setup it's passive and is under you budget should total to $250 it's a topping pa3 and a micca rb42 it's a v shaped sounding speaker kinda hefty but also small just dense good amount of bass for the size of it so a sub is not necessary. You can sub the micca rb 42 for a pair of Sony sscs5 or  fluance sx6 xl7s but all are bigger than the micca. Other ones active wise to look at are edifiers they are pretty worth the cash generally. iloud micros are impressive for the price but kinda ugly. The Kanto yu2 and yu4

    If my memory serves when I've seen that, it's effectively an "out of memory" error. Once, I wouldn't worry about it, more than once, then our problem still persists.

    I have an old set of slower ram that never gave me problem I will put in after a week of 1 ram stick to see if its that second slot that its causing this. hopefully its the ram its cheaper to replace 16gb of ram than a 200 usd mobo

    Personally I think the 3800X is gonna be the low seller. The price increase versus what you get is marginal from the specs given so far over a 3700X. But maybe they will pull an intel and reduce pcie lanes or something.

    Guys keep your opinions of the content of both channels out of this, it dirties the discussion. The point is, this dude has assumed Linus is some tech Mafia that has decided he shouldn't exist, he assumed LMG of extreme ignorance and Ill will want him out of the game. I don't watch him But the attitude in his video is just terrible. I feel for LMG, i want to feel for the affected youtuber but his attitude is making it SO hard. It doesnt really matter if you think his content is raw, good, bad. Or LMG content is clickbaity, sellout, good, bad etc.

    I've come over here from overclockers.net which seems to be decaying after the botched platform update some months ago (this may be my first post here).  I've watched some of Carey's videos over time as well as those made by Linus and a bunch of other YouTubers.  I'm agnostic about all of them (never subscribed to any of them either) and able to separate the wheat from the chaff.  I never watch any of these in real time as I prefer to FF through to see if it's worth watching in total.  A solo YouTuber such as Carey has a daunting task to build up a following and maybe he has maxed out with his current subscription base.  I think all of us who have been around tech for a while (my first CS course was Fortran programming on IBM mainframes? and I've built probably 15 or so PCs over the years, workstations as I'm not a gamer) can quickly see that Carey's audience is far different from other tech video sites.  There is nothing wrong with that.
     
    Carey obviously over reacted yesterday (and note that he was out of town on a visit to his father who was having some kind of health emergency as per the posted video) just as he over reacted to the swatting incident several weeks ago.  Yes, it should be been handled directly with Linus and Carey's ignorance of what was happening is no excuse.  This incident will eventually ebb away and be forgotten in a month or so.  Carey did say he planned to broadcast today and he really needs to apologize for his comments yesterday and display an understanding of the issue; we will see if that happens.

    Getting his five minutes of fame by slandering one of the most down to earth all around good guys. He needs to apologize and it needs to drop. Don't give him any more of your time. He would have to be living under a rock for the past few months to not know that YouTube has been having major issues with their algorithm. It all started with Logan Paul's video. After that happened YouTube went into panic mode. Demonetizing channels, setting up new restrictions on partners, and their copyright bots. It has been happening for a long time.

    I just saw this and I have unsubscribed to Carey Holzman, instead of making a drama video, he should have tried to contact LTT and really find out what is going on. People are just so knee jerk reaction instead of trying to find out whats really going on.
