So if I may turns this around, when Youtube says that the content is free, and then try to extract payment in the form of ads without notification after the fact, they are actually breaking their own implied contact? Got it, they are breaking the law... It goes both ways. The implied contract can't be just what suits you and if there was NOTHING between us, then there is no contract, not even an implied one.

I didn't read all of the comments in the thread before me, so I may be repeating something that was already said... Linus is categorically and totally wrong that adblock is the same as piracy. Quite the opposite actually. He was saying on the WAN show that there is an implicit contract of sort, a tit for tat, we get content for the price of watching ads. But this is not the case. There is no contract. There was no "price tag" shown to me when I opened Youtube. I was not asked if I agree to that transaction. I was not in any way presented with the parameters of the deal. In fact, when you go to the app store to install youtube, it literally says it is "Free, Offers In-App Purchases". Nothing about ads as the price of admission. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/youtube-watch-listen-stream/id544007664 The website doesn't tell me that ads are the price of the content wither. (admittedly, the one on the play store does say "Contains Ads") It is youtube that is trying to sneakily insert the ads without asking any sort of confirmation first. It is them that are stealing my time from me. Not the other way around. And the other fundamental thing about the internet - it's a pull model. I decide what I download to my computer. All I did was find a way to prevent youtube's sneaky unsolicited tactics and not let it steal my time. They literally put it out there in the open, both the real content and the ads. I simply chose to download only what I need and not waste my time with the rest. I did not enter any contract, so I broke no contract. No content infringement or piracy happened here in any way. If you want to complain about contracts, first make it explicit. Otherwise it's nothing but a wish. I'm using youtube premium myself, a much cleaner transaction. I pay the explicitly stated in advance price and I get what I pay for. NOTE: you don't actually need to agree to any ToS to open youtube and watch stuff. They only want you to agree to their cookies. If agreeing to the ToS was so important to them or mattered in any way, they would have put it front and center and not let you use the site before agreeing.

You guys should really put the region restrictions in the description of the video. There was another giveaway a week ago with the same NA only restrictions. I should not have to dig through the terms and conditions to figure this out.

I guess you could mention in the video or the description that the giveaway is not international. It's kinda missleading otherwise.

I'll second the advice to try Better Battery Stats https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en No root is needed, you need to enter a few commands with adb to get the full data. It's all explained on the playstore page. I have found and killed rogue processes in the past with it, specifically things like NlpWakeLock, NlpCollectorWakeLock and the *backup* wakelock bugs. I suspect it's something similar, perhaps some Samsung process instead of google process since it's on a samsung phone. How to read the BBS results: 1. Install it, run the adb commands from the playstore page, charge the phone, use it lightly for a day. 2. Look at the "deep sleep", "awake screen off" and "screen on" stats. There should be a lot of deep sleep, some screen on and very little awake time. If there is a lot of awake time, then there is a process that keep the phone form going to sleep. Check "partial wakelocks" and "processes" to see what is going on exactly andthen find a way to kill the offender and not let it start any more.

Well, I'm in Europe and the powerbrick is european, so I can't say anything about the US one. It's a laptop though, so I'd be really surprised if they don't work with both grids. If you can wait till monday, I'll tell you exactly what my powerbrick is rated for (I left the laptop at work). EDIT: It's 100-240V

I have one of these, so quick thoughts: 1. I have a version with i7-8750H, 32GB RAM, 512 GB ssd and a 1TB HDD. It's only a GTX 1050 though (not Ti) 2. I got it as a portable desktop/workstation replacement for software development (not many laptops with a 6 core cpu and 32 gigs of ram, especially at this price), so I can't really say anything about the gaming experience 3. the good: relatively cheap for the hardware you get, good IO (3xUSB A, 1x USB C), LAN port Doesn't look too much like a gaming laptop. Very easy access to the RAM and the HDD, relatively easy access to everything else. Screen is nice Keyboard is good (though I don't use it in the office) 4. The bad: kinda on the thick and heavy side. Plastic Some flex on the keyboard plastic Very bad battery life, though this could be due to my config with that cpu and too much ram runs kinda hot on the left side where the ram is (again could be due to the config) AFAIK it uses the same cooling pipes for both CPU and GPU, so if you stress both, they will starve each other for cooling. Getting Linux to run properly on it was more difficult than I expected, but once I got all the quirks fixed, it runs pretty well. 5. In general I'm quite happy with it, it's fast and I can run multiple VMs on it with no problems

I think it would be nice to say when these giveaways are region locked. This one is for the US only, and neither the video, nor the video description, nor the giveaway page mentions this. You have to read the terms and conditions to find it. I mean, LTT isn't even based in the US. It is totally not obvious that it will be region locked when they don't even mention it.

Just wanted to point out that DDR3L and LPDDR3 are completely different things. These macs use LPDDR3 EDIT: Am I missing something here? All 3 cpus that I could find for the 15 inch model (I7-6700HQ, I7-6820HQ and I7-6920HQ) have LPDDR3-1866 as the highest supported speed in the spec shet on intel's site. Apple lists 2133 in their spec. How would this work and why would they do it?

I just wanted to point out that I think Linus made a mistake with the processor. The i5-7Y54 is not U-class. The U's have 15W TDP. It's a Y-class processor or in the 6th gen it would have been called a Core m5, but Intel changed the names for some reason. On a side note, I think the Swift 5 as detailed here would be a much more interesting and useful laptop. With an actual U-series cpu, backlit keyboard and I think it will be cheaper as well. And none of this thinnest nonsense.

Because this GTX 570 really needs to die http://i.imgur.com/Yte8tMe.jpg
