Number 1 feature that has me really excited is sidecar. It is a huge leap forward. Finally competition for duet display and primarily Wacom.

I was having issues w/my EVGA RTX 2080 FTW 3, so I went back to my EVGA GTX 1070 ti FTW2 and I was thinking about re-installing Windows 10 to get rid of the small issues that're still present from when my system kept crashing from the RTX.  I didn't have the issues prior to the install and I was just wondering if I would have to re-update the BIOS if I were to do so.

Instead of reinstalling Windows, I’d use a program like DDU to completely remove any drivers from the RTX card. Then try either card again.

@Taintedmind BIOS is independent of your Windows installation. You can update the bios without impacting windows and the opposite is true as well. The only time you shouldn’t is if you have bit locker enabled on your drive.

Just putting this this out there, you don’t have to reinstall Windows to update BIOS. I figure you must have another reason to reinstall Windows, but just thought I’d verify you knew that,

 something doesn't add up if the sub forum is taken down to change the embedded player, and to stop people from accessing it who shouldn't  be there

 

than why do some people still have access at this time? is it closed or not?

It’s closed to normal Floatplane members. The only ones who still have access are admins, mods and floatplane yearly subscribers. Yearly subscriptions only exist through the forum. This should only be temporary.

Well they could have, in the mean time at least, let us keep access to the subforum without the player

Basically, they were losing money and needed to stop the bleeding. Another member of the forum pointed out that there was a security flaw that was letting people access Floatplane on the forum without paying. I don’t know of a single company who wouldn’t try to stop that immediately.

That’s probably why it was terminated so quickly and without notice. It might even have been in their terms of service that they don’t have to notify us. It’s the nice thing to do, but they might not be obligated to. 

I know now my initial reaction and maybe even some of those of other Floatplane members might have been on the verge of outrage, but this new information is helping settle the issue.

Hi all. I have an update on the situation with the forum.

Per Floatplane Support:

“The sub forum is being closed so they can work on a player that is backwards-compatible with Floatplane.com (No ETA, unfortunately).”

I followed up and confirmed if the sub-forum would be coming back. 

“Temporary from what we last heard. Linus mentioned re-opening the subforum with a different player sometime in the future.”

@Colonelmortis mentioned that they closed the sub forum due to people who were not paying for access had access. At least now we know their is hope for the sub-forum.

Hopefully, with the support of the rest of the Floatplane members, we can convince the Floatplane team and LMG that the sub forum is worth their time.

Can't you still watch Floatplane videos from the forum threads that they're posted in?

No. All videos on LTT Floatplane seem to be inaccessible through Forum now.All of my posts in Floatplane are inaccessible as well. Guess I should’ve used the download option.

 but because of a bug, some people kept access to the forum without any payment renewals. We effectively just fixed that problem.

So other people like mods, contributors and admins can access the Floatplane forum, but not the people who were paying for access to it???

The forum was my favorite feature. Plus, some videos are only available on the forum. Vote to try to get forum access back.

Hear our pleas all mighty Floatplane Staff!!!

No!!! I resisted Epic for this long!!! RIP all my DLC

So it looks like OnePlus is saying @LinusTech will be at the NYC launch of the OnePlus 7 Pro launches. Look under why join us.

Idea: Collab with minimum of 3 TechTubers from various locations. The challenge can be anything, but it has to take place in their home area. That means someone like Jay would be limited to his area in California and Steve from Gamer’s Nexus would be limited to his area of North Carolina to find parts. Then for judging, they fly to LMG HQ. Ideally, the contestants would have their own camera operator. Jay has Phil, Kyle has Chris or Heather, and Steve has his camera guy (Sorry Steve’s camera guy. I don’t remember your name).

It’s a lot of work, but a neat twist none the less.

Let me know how you would expand this idea.

I’m looking into setting up a 16 camera security system for a small business. They already have some Ubiquiti access points. The UniFi Protect lineup caught my eye because of its simplicity and no licensing fees. I’m currently thinking of using a cloud key gen 2 plus and a couple Poe switches along with an assortment of their g3 camera lineup.

is this a good idea? Does anyone have any recommendations? Do you have any experiences with these Ubiquiti products?

Any information is helpful.

I also have GeForce now and a 200mbs internet connection. It seems t work decently although i’ve never given much attention to how much data it uses. I play at 1080p and it seems to work pretty well. I never have played anything competitive with it as I only use it on my laptop since I have a desktop to game on.

Press F to pay respects

RIP AirPower

Cheap Chinese product. But I was hoping I couldn't go far wrong with something so simple!

Yeah, I think it's probably a scam...

With HDMI, you get what you pay for.

@DezGalbie Do you have a link to the dongle?

@Liam Clayton Look at your manual, page 25. That should tell you which device is not working.

The Maximus Z390 boards have decent power delivery? On what planet?

If they are talking about the i9 9900k then Asus has pretty crap power delivery on their z390 boards compared to other brands.

Old Maximus boards then. Had no idea about the new ones.

I like ROG boards for HEDT stuff. The Maximus boards have decent power delivery, which will help when you do overclocking.

@westmarch The 1st picture is what causes my concern. As for the second, It looks like from the pictures, it just scraped to cover on the DAC. As long as the DAC cover isn't bent in, it should be fine. As for the 1st picture, it would be hard to know what that copper is for. My guess is that it is a trace for the DAC as well. If there might be a problem, it may be that your rear audio may not work.

As for a recommendation for you, I would say it's up to you. I'm not going to give you a yes or no. I don't want responsibility for you ruining your board. I hope you can understand why.

Let us know if it works or what you decide to do.

@MrSadman

Crucial is a decent option, but there is a reason Samsung is a well known SSD manufacture. Samsung's endurance is top notch. Crucial good too, but not as. Same goes with their memory.

WD Blue is where i would point you for a HDD.

Don't use HWMonitor.  Use HWiNFO.

 

And you can use any Windows power plan you'd like as long you change the Minimum Processor State to anything below 50%.  I use Ultimate Performance and Minimum Processor State of 20%.  

Why not? Not disagreeing, just wondering why.
