Will ban anybody that asks again, welp, it was nice to dream.

Have ultimate builds for an OS. Example: have an ultimate Windows 9X build, Ultimate XP Build, Ultimate Windows 7 Build and test them with games that were relevant at the peak of the OS paradigm and push it by having it run late games that were compatible with them as say a torch passing. Ultimate Windows 98 Build test Quake 3 performance then have an Ultimate Windows XP Build and test Unreal 2k4 on both XP and Windows 98. Have the Ultimate XP build go against Windows 7 with Crysis and Tomb Raider 2013 and test the Ultimate Windows 7 Machine with a modern lowest end machine like an intel N100 and a modern reasonable machine. Bonus points to see if Crysis Remastered is more modern machine optimized for the same Crysis classic fidelity. (Like Remastered medium looking like classic Ultimate and be optimized for AVX2) I want to see how far we have gone.

I'd rather have the slowest PC be slower for games bu not buying the GT 1030 and splurging the extra for the SSD and more RAM and just use it for retro games to get you or your kids started. Imagine spending $50 on a CPU and you get retro games now and you as a early teen or your kids grows, you can have a platform to expand to especially as say a 13-year-old gets it and plays some oblivion and when they played a lot of games and in 4 years, they're 17 and they got some dough, maybe get a used CPU for this now obsolete platform and maybe a GPU. That machine is like the PC equivalent between an Xbox 360 and PS4 as it is.

Loved the Monk theme, as somebody that grew up with mental health issues, I was scared away from it thinking it was making fun of the mentally ill. But it's a realistic psychological light heated comedy crime drama. Didn't start watching it until Peacock was a thing. I have a suggestion for a future secret shopper sketch, these were "dad shows" even when Linus and I were kids. But you could have one be an homage to the Rockford Files, I just discovered that show recently and it's a blast. Another suggestion is do a secret shopper with Shirley Curry as a guest (if health permitting, she's 87) and have her be playing a Jessica Fletcher inspired character.

I'm watching the video now with Bulk & Skull's theme. The silence is too awkward and I want to play something stupid to counter act their vocal tonality in the response, I want to have a cerebral reaction to LTT's latest video, not a visceral one. Granted, it makes it goofy, but I still get the sincerity, I just want it dialed down a lot to get the sentiment in a less awkward way.

It's all about making the data less available. I also never mentioned my legal name under this username, but the problem is I've talked about things that not many people share these opinions of and it's very easy to associate that to a legal name from there with these new AI tools.

I said future crawlers, the already established ones might be super expensive to access the data.

I would like the ability to scrub my history from future web crawlers and AI

Nothing lasts forever. Ever hear of Studebaker? DeSoto and Packard? All of those companies has been around longer than reddit.

SEO and megaplatforms like reddit destroyed the internet. It's not 2013 anymore, you almost can't find anything anymore. I hope miniplatforms return, a lot of tech youtubers and not just LTT have forums, Hard OCP, OC3D, L1 Techs and a lot of stuff. It's tech centric because that's the audience that remember a viable internet outside of FAANG.

Rossmann is very pro free market, but there is a Noam Chomsky concept called "Manufactured Consent", Chomsky is an Anarcho-Syndicalist and I don't identify with that philosophy, but it's very healthy to have a compartmentalized philosophy and I haven't read Chomsky, but I like that idea and I don't have to agree with everything he believes in. If oligarchs can all unilaterally make decisions on the behalf of the grand majority of people, it's not really "free".

I won't count Mac OS or Android or iOS or especially Playstation OS, "UNIX"-related because the culture around it has nothing to do with UNIX. Very few iOS users use iOS features that makes UNIX, UNIX, they just use proprietary extensions. They don't care about UNIX, they care about the black box extensions. Like do they use the UNIX core utils, do they use input and output redirection? Do they use shellscripts to automate tasks? I suppose Mac OSes Automator is there, but very few mac users actually use it and even if they did, it's still not UNIX-y. I suppose you don't really mean UNIX, you mean non-windows alternative. But we live in era where using Windows as your primary OS is an alternative, not many people have a GPD Win instead of a smart phone.

In looking this up, AMD has a good solution too. https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-4-6--amd-launches-first-5nm-asic-based-media-accelerat.html If it's 24fps you want accelerated, multiply that by 2.5 But something like that didn't really exist in 2019 and something like that is very overkill for a family media vault share. His current setup can transcode 18 4K streams I think if one combined that AMD card with that i9 and was able to transcode like 40 4k streams using a 2gig line, you wouldn't want to go much beyond that anyway, I think the RIAA would descend like Locus. Though something like this would be cool if you wanted to roll your own twitch. Anyway, we live in a time of where it's better to get something new than old that was high end when it was new. I mean, it made sense before Ryzen, it just doesn't now.

You know of an H264/H265 ASIC? The only one I know of was made back when the Mac Pros were LGA 771 and it was designed for accelerating the encoding of a single h264 render to be a little faster than real time. This was made before AVX and as soon as AVX accelerated encoding came out, those things were worthless to a new mac.

No, it was a Quadro RTX 4000. The damn consumer GPUs had a transcode limit of 4 without Driver Hackery. 12:12 is where he talks about the non-HDD cost though he spent a few hundred on aesthetics.
