    Not an appropriate discussion for this forum.
    We prefer not to allow the LTT Forum became an access point for information on nefarious or illegal avenues.

    And? The motherboard is cheaper so the price evens out.
    You're wasting money with that board and processor combo.

    mainac reacted to FrowningHippo in Floatplane club and Linus Media   
    It is legal for a company to determine the way they you want to charge you in a Country like Canada. Most countries don't have obligations about a certain currency. That would hamper economics and freedom. I feel it's sad that you think floatplane isn't enough value with the exchange rate. You could use something like PayPal to mitigate the banking fees. 
     
    Anyway. You can't force a company to just 'do what you like'. You can ask them kindly to support it and show that you are unhappy with your wallet, but most foreign customers have a better value understanding of US dollars compared to Canadian ones (Europeans). 
     
    To be blunt, I am not some kind of fanboy, but they mention it often enough during the payment proces. Don't put your negligence on them.

    mainac got a reaction from InertiaSelling in Bixby Showcase - It does more than you might think! (Sponsored)   
    I think that he is using an iphone at the moment, he said that IOS 11 did it for him  
     
    @LinusTech perhaps put in the title "THIS IS NOT A REVIEW"  that may make people happy!

    mainac reacted to Cerulis in Bixby Showcase - It does more than you might think! (Sponsored)   
    I had no idea Bixby had custom commands, the feature actually made me re-enable it and give it a try.
     
    Edit: I believe it is worth mentioning is was just a showcase. He's not claiming Bixby is the best thing ever, no. He still stands by his point that virtual assistants are very much limited as of now.

    Have you not seen the High LANder video from a few years ago? Similar concept. It's more of can we do this rather than should we.
     
    I remember their videos having stuff like that for years now. It's nothing new.
     
    Linus is trying to build an actual media company, not just a Youtube channel.

    I don't terribly mind videos like this that have kind of a dumb premise to promote a product, even if they have to make more of them. Linus has like 20-something employees now, they need to make money. I get that.
     
    What I do miss is the off-the-cuff, non-scripted content LTT used to make a lot more of. Like, the style that whole-room watercooling was done in, or the old school vlogs. I've legitimately watched through all the moving and Mexico trip vlog content multiple times because I enjoy it so much. The travel stuff, HighLANder, I could go on and on.
     
    But it's not just stuff unrelated to tech. The old disaster of a hardline build with Luke. The oil cooled build. The Compensator(s). Even stuff as new as Luke's new PC with all the crystals. Data recovery process after Whonnock died. Some of my favorite videos LMG has ever made. Wish they would revert more content back to that style, even if they keep the increased ads, clickbaity thumbs and titles and childish editing.

    mainac reacted to Denned in Dual CPU water cooling block : is it possible?   
    Like the Noctua you only have the base touch the CPU. And the base is what transfers the heat. But unlike aircooling it isn't cooled more by having more surface area (on the CPU block it self.) It's dissapating more heat, by having higher waterflow.
    The two fin towers could only really be compared to having more or larger radiators.

    It is pretty good but I heard people talk about the dye "break down" but i have never experienced it so I can only give an 50/50 percent answer. Yes and no if it really breaks down I would look for another brand.

    The OnePlus One really shook up the mobile industry... but in their FIFTH iteration, has OnePlus still found a way to stand out from the pack?

    mainac reacted to MatsNorway in Phanteks sickest new case - Phanteks Evolv SHIFT // SHIFT X   
    This case is way cool. Some may have seen me doing the math on footprint/size (chart) and boom this baby shows up with a tiny footprint.
     
     

     
    With a footprint of 170 x 270 = 45900 -> what in the fuck.. i had to punch those numbers in twice. This concept will be the new trend for sure. I almost want to cancel my order on the Define C.. Probably will not support my current gear tho. just saying.

    It might be losing popularity with streamers, but I don't see it losing popularity within the competitive and casual circles. Keep in mind CS as a whole is almost 17 years old, and it's more popular now than it ever was between 1.6 and Source.

    mainac reacted to crystal6tak in My ghetto solution to GPU sag   
    That's a 980 Ti FTW with arctic xtreme iii. Unfortunately I didn't take a before pic (the sag was quite bad as I had to remove my front/back plate to fit the cooler).  
    I used zip ties and strings. This can probably be done with just zip ties, but the string makes it look better I guess. Honestly this mod has been pretty easy to do (granted you find a good spot on the GPU shroud to zip tie to).
     
    I can now sleep in peace knowing my PCIE slot and GPU PCB isn't getting more deformed day by day  (last I checked, there's already visible deformation on the PCIE slot lol)

    mainac reacted to Morgan MLGman in I really don't want to buy an entire new pc, please help.   
    If you really plan on getting a 1080 then I suggest you have a look at used: i7-4770, 4770K, 4790, 4790K and Xeon E3-1231v3 Those should be much more appropriate for this kind of a GPU.

    mainac reacted to TheJeno12 in Community Ideas For Future Videos For The LTT Team   
    I thought there should be a thread here that allows users to submit ideas of what they would like to see in future episodes from the LTT, CSF & TQ branches of LMG. i am voting for an updated recommended build guide seeing as Ryzen 5 & 7 are now available. also bring back rugged man please!
