Just want to comment about the magnet idea brought up on the WAN show.
 
Please keep the industry standard button interface for grounding.
Make adapters instead that can be plugged into that button.
- A bar to attach alligator clamps that itself pluggs into the button.
- A two part magnetic connector that pluggs into the button on both ends (mat and wrist strap). This could even be a separate product, to be used with any other brand mat/strap.

I see a typo now, but your comment is so vague that I'm not even sure if that's what you mean.
Also: No I don't believe you. You don't hate to be that person.
Edit: I will leave the typo as I believe this is how I wrote it in the original youtube comment.

Hey @LinusTech,
I was just watching the recent WAN show, where you briefly showed the newsletter about the screwdriver.
I would really like to read it - just not in my email inbox.
Every LTT video has a forum post about it. Why not the newsletter?
To me it seems blatantly obvious that the newsletter would only benefit from also being posted as a topic in the forum.
It would be easy to find - always in the same place. It would automatically create an archive of all the newsletters - something you have talked about wanting to make in the past. It would allow for discussion about the topic among the community, maybe even including those that worked on the project. Please consider adding the newsletter to the forum.
Please also publish the previous issues of the newsletters here, as many have missed them.
Thank you.

People previously voiced problems with finding older relases of the newsletter they wanted to re-read.

People were also unsure wheather they missed an issue or if there simply wasn't one. (Easy to verify if there were forum posts.)

Hey, yeah I would really like if they could just post them on the forum as well. I'm not the kind of guy who wants newsletters in my inbox, I just don't. But if there was a place where they are stored and where I can catch up on older ones, I might just read some when I find the time for it.
Am I allowed to at@LinusTech? Guess I'm gonna find out.

Hello,
I was wondering if someone can share the LTT newsletters.
I got the last one "The ones we DIDN'T release" but would like to read the previous once too.
 
 
 
 

shouldnt be buttload?
 

boatload
informal
a large amount:
They made boatloads of money from that project.

If you do have issues posting comments on Youtube you can also post comments on the forum. LTT post threads to discuss their videos.
 

Sadly Ryzen Master is the only software that reads all stuff properly, so you either use that or just forget about the whole thing.

Thank you thats it. It was a new version of the "Ghostery" extension.
 

You might have had an extension hijack your chrome installation, double-check what's part of your chrome extensions and see if anything is there that shouldn't be

Or he could take the $140 he saves and buy a better graphics card, memory, motherboard, SSD, or AIO cooler. Unless he's pushing high refresh rate gaming the difference between Intel and AMD at this point is academic.
 
 
 
Addendum - As to the OP, it's unlikely you're going to saturate a 6 core 12 thread current gen processor any time soon. By the time you do, grabbing an 8 core to drop in will be pretty cheap.

Well this is what I call a HUGE MESS.
 
Since Linus said in that one video the price was to go up as soon as the dedicated website launches, I thought "ok if it costs like $5-8 or something, it will probably include all the channels that might join the ride".
But if I have to pay for every channel separately then even $3 is too much.
 
Do you expect me to pay like $30 for your platform once it (hopefully) lifts off and more channels join?
For that (bright) future:
Give us one price for all or make tiers (like $8 for 3 channels $10 for 5 Channels $15 for everything).
But $3 PER CHANNEL and possibly more?
 
NO.

I myself have a 27" 1080p monitor. I'd go for the bigger screen rather than the higher resolution. 

Terms like "2K" and "4K" don’t refer to specific resolutions. They are resolution categories. They are used to classify resolutions based on horizontal pixel count. "2K" refers to resolutions that have around 2,000 (2K) pixels horizontally. Examples include:
1920 × 1080 (16:9) 1920 × 1200 (16:10) 2048 × 1080 (≈19:10) 2048 × 1152 (16:9) 2048 × 1536 (4:3) All of these are examples of 2K resolutions. 1920×1080 is a 2K resolution. 2048×1080 is another 2K resolution. 2560×1440 is not a 2K resolution, it is a 2.5K resolution.
 
"2.5K" refers to resolutions around 2,500 (2.5K) pixels horizontally. For example:
2304 × 1440 (16:10) 2400 × 1350 (16:9) 2560 × 1080 (64:27 / ≈21:9) 2560 × 1440 (16:9) 2560 × 1600 (16:10) All of these are examples of 2.5K resolutions.
 
So why do people call 2560×1440 "2K"?
 
Because when "4K" was new to the consumer market, people would ask: "What's 4K?", and usually the response was "it’s four times as many pixels as 1080p". Unfortunately most people misinterpreted this and assumed that the "4" in "4K" actually stood for "how many times 1080p" the resolution was, and since 2560×1440 is popularly known as being "twice as many pixels as 1080p" (it's 1.77 times, but close enough), some people decided to start calling it "2K", and other people heard that and repeated it.
 
While it’s true that 4K UHD (3840×2160) is four times as many pixels as 1920×1080, that isn’t why it’s called "4K". It’s called 4K because it's approximately 4,000 pixels horizontally. The fact that it’s also 4 × 1080p is just a coincidence, and that pattern doesn’t continue with other resolutions.
 
For example, the 5K resolution featured in the Retina 5K iMac, 5120×2880, is equivalent to four 2560×1440 screens. If 1440p is "2K" because it’s twice as many pixels as 1080p, then wouldn’t four of them together be called "8K"? (Well, technically 7K since like I said 1440p is 1.77 times not 2 times 1080p, but that’s beside the point). We don’t call it 7K or 8K. We call it 5K, because it's around 5,000 pixels horizontally. It has nothing to do with "how many times 1080p" the resolution is.
 
In addition, an actual 8K resolution such as 8K UHD (7680×4320) is equivalent to four 4K UHD screens. A single 4K UHD screen is four times as many pixels as 1080p, so four of those together is sixteen times as many pixels as 1080p. But 7680×4320 isn't called "16K", it’s called "8K", because it’s approximately 8,000 pixels horizontally. Again it doesn't have anything to do with "how many times 1080p" the resolution is.
 
So although 2560×1440 is around twice as many pixels as 1080p, it is not called "2K", because that isn’t where these names come from. Since 2560×1440 is approximately 2,500 pixels horizontally, it falls into the 2.5K classification.

Response time and latency

Do you need a 5 ms response time or less for gaming?

Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) – 1,000,000:1+ "Contrast Ratios" are Just Made-up Numbers

"You can't get audio through a DVI port!"

Isn't HDMI limited to 60 Hz?

"Humans can't see more than 60 Hz anyway!"

"Why are there TVs at 600+ Hz when monitors don't go beyond ≈144 Hz?"

"Does 1920×1080 scale perfectly on 3840×2160 (4K UHD) monitors? What exactly happens when you run a non-native resolution on a display?"

Does DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync/AMD FreeSync require a new monitor or will existing monitors be upgradeable with just a firmware update?
Also, if a monitor has DisplayPort 1.2a input or higher, does that automatically mean it supports DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync?

German extreme overclocker der8auer has overclocked the 1600X to 5.9 GHz.
For validation he used a bus speed of 130 MHz with a 45.5x multiplier with all 12 threads active.
For the actual benchmarks he dailed the frequency back down but still beat previous records by the i7-5820K.
All tests were actually performed in Febuary but results couldn't be published for NDA-reasons.

Ryzen has its own issues. Once you go below 0°C the maximum achievable ram speeds will tank. And since Infinity Fabric (the stuff that connects the two 8mb blocks of cache) scales with ram speed this is bad.
