Hey Colton, I know in the past I believe the WAN show was sponsored by MechanicalKeyboards.com. I wanted to bring a recent Reddit post to light: It appears there is still a code for them on their website https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/c/linustechtips Didn't see it in the master sponsor list either but just wanted to share my concern here with the team.

I just tried it and it's giving 20% off now! Even better than the military! I used the military for the longest time because it was 15% more and felt bad LMG never got the recognition for showing me Savage Jerky, but now I can finally use them!

I believe Broadwell-E is 6th generation since the processor names begin with the number 6. (E.g. i7-6800k) according to Intel’s naming scheme that would make it a 6th gen processor. Not sure if that necessarily means it’s vulnerable but it sounds like it might be and should be checked.

I found it to not quite speak more of the security flaw so much as they just spoke of the detection tool. My post/article focuses more around the flaw itself than the detection tool.

Intel has finally issued a security alert telling users and manufacturers that there is a security flaw in the Intel Management Engine firmware versions 11.0 through 11.20. I recommend everyone go to the detection tool on Intel's support website (linked above) to download and test their machine for vulnerabilities. If you own an Intel Core processor (including Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7) that is Skylake or later, an Intel Xeon processor (including E3-1200 v5 & v6 Product Family) that was released 2015 or later, you may be vulnerable to remote attack. This attack also extends to some Atom and Apollo Pentium/Celeron processors used in IoT devices and mobile devices. I also recommend checking your motherboard manufacturer's website to download any UEFI flash updates that may be needed to remedy these issues.

Currently running an R9 280X, and man does it produce a ton of heat and suck a ton of power... The RX 480 would be an excellent upgrade with a boost in performance, and especially a boost in efficiency and heat output. This is what I've wanted from AMD for a long time, and I almost switched teams because of it! Best of luck to all.

My future build that I plan on creating is here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BNzH6h Complete with water cooling tubing and a white case / red LED theme. These LEDs would be perfect for this build! I plan on doing the build in late may when I return home from my current duty station! I would like maybe 4 of the magnetic red LED strips to complete the design for this build. Thank you guys!

I think SSDs are important to have because it allows for much faster OS operation and for things just to be so much more snappier than they ever could be with a regular platter-based hard drive. Thank you for the giveaway guys!

You're paying for your access to the internet. That is not inclusive of anything but access to web servers. If you're paying for internet, do you automatically deserve to have Netflix for free? No, you pay for content. You pay for internet first, then the special content you want on the internet as well.

My mom could definitely use a new mouse. I'll give her my current one in exchange for this one ^-^

Ports, plugs, jacks, and connectors as FAST AS POSSIBLE. I can see many of the world-famous Linus sexual inuendos fitting in here. Also a genuine request. I'm sure whoever does the thumbnails will have fun with a joke too.

I enjoy the full 104-key keyboards. While having the extra space and travel capabilities would be nice sometimes (especially when visiting a friend's house), it's also still nice to feel like nothing is holding you back from being as efficient as possible. I've never used a 60% keyboard before and would be interested in trying one out! Thank you for the giveaway guys as always!

Thanks for the giveaway, LMG and Intel! Keep up the good work.

My favourite part of the Z2 is that it is water-proof and my favourite part of dbrand is that they make skins for video game consoles!

EDIT: Sorry for repost but I don't know how to delete comments on mobile site I can just edit

I'm a sucker for backlit keyboards...also love the aluminum finish. Thank you guys for all your hard work on the videos!

The case link is the same as the motherboard link...

Is there a LinusTech subreddit I'm not aware of? If not, should there be one? I think it'd be neat!

He's probably tried this if he has posted to the forum about it.

What do you need a static private IP for...?

I want that beautiful phone Linus Keep up the great work everyone at LinusMediaGroup!

Hey all! So, here are my specs: Sapphire 7870 2GB GHz Edition AMD FX-8320 Team eXtreem 1600MHz 2x4GB 2x1TB drives 650W PSU Just recently, my video card broke it seems. When I turn it on, there are wide, vertical bars stretching over my BIOS splash screen, over my Windows loading screen, etc. I also have Ubuntu installed and when it loads Oobo or whatever it is to let me choose which operating system I want to boot into, it gets even weirder...it looks like everything got mixed up like puzzle pieces put together wrong on my screen. When I try to load Windows, the vertical bars stay while it says "Windows is loading" or whatever the loading screen is for W7. After it finishes loading, I get a black screen with no vertical bars anymore and the OS never loads. Same with Ubuntu. I know it's not my monitor because I can play PS4 on it and it looks perfectly normal and I know it's not the DVI port on my monitor because I've used a different card and it worked fine and I know it's nothing in my computer because I swapped out for a different video card and it worked fine. What's the problem with my video card? I've sent in an RMA request but still want to know what the heck it could be! I've inspected the card and it looks uscaved / brand new with no scratches, etc. If you want, I can take pictures. Just ask if you want to see if you don't know what I mean

Make sure your drivers are updated and also try using BlueScreenView which you can Google.

Not too sure why it says "Free space" whereas normally it would say "Unallocated space" correct? I know if it's unallocated that it would allow you to expand to a basic disk.

The original post is on The Verge: http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/21/5533814/google-yahoo-apple-all-share-microsofts-troubling-email-privacy-policy Content: If you're hiding something from Microsoft, you'd better not put it on Hotmail. It came out yesterday that the company had read through a user's inbox as part of an internal leak investigation. Microsoft has spent today in damage-control mode, changing its internal policies and rushing to point out that they could have gotten a warrant if they’d needed one. By all indications, the fallout is just beginning. But while Microsoft is certainly having a bad week, the problem is much bigger than any single company. For the vast majority of people, our email system is based on third-party access, whether it's Microsoft, Google, Apple or whoever else you decide to trust. Our data is held on their servers, routed by their protocols, and they hold the keys to any encryption that protects it. The deal works because they're providing important services, paying our server bills, and for the most part, we trust them. But this week's Microsoft news has chipped away at that trust, and for many, it's made us realize just how frightening the system is without it. We've known for a while that email providers could look into your inbox, but the assumption was that they wouldn't. Even a giant like Microsoft is likely to sustain lasting damage, simply because there are so many options for free web-based email. Why stick with Microsoft if you trust Apple or Google more? But while companies have created a real marketplace for privacy and trust, you'll find the same structural problems at every major service. Ad-supported email means companies have to scan your inbox for data, so they need access to every corner of your inbox. (That's been the basis of Microsoft's Google-bashing "Scroogled" campaign.) Free email also means someone else is hosting it; they own the servers, and there's no legal or technical safeguard to keep them from looking at what's inside. A close look at company privacy policies only underlines the fact. As Microsoft pointed out its initial statement, "Microsoft’s terms of service make clear our permission for this type of review." Look at the company privacy policy, and you’ll see that's true: "We may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to ... protect the rights or property of Microsoft." That’s a straightforward description of what happened in the Hotmail case. You’ll find similar language in the privacy policies from Yahoo and Google. Yahoo reserves the right to look through your emails to "protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Yahoo, its users and the public." Google’s language is nearly identical, saying it will access user data "if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to … protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Google." Apple is a little better, but not much, promising to disclose user content "if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate." What counts as public importance, exactly? What’s worse, the current laws won’t do anything to stop them. For standard law enforcement, it takes a warrant to read a person's email — but there's no such restriction on hosting providers. Peeking into your clients' inbox is bad form, but it's perfectly legal. Even if the rights weren't reserved in the terms of service, it's not clear there are even grounds for a lawsuit. Without stronger privacy laws, all companies have to worry about is bad PR. Microsoft's mole hunt isn't unprecedented either. There have been LOVEINT-style abuses of sysadmin access, as when a Google engineer was fired for spying on friends' chat logs. Last year, Harvard searched its own professors' email accounts as part of a cheating investigation. (The dean behind the search stepped down a few months later.) But those are just the instances we're aware of. In all likelihood, there are dozens of similar incidents that were simply never made public, encouraged by the open nature of third-party hosting. As long as the access is legal and technically feasible, there's no reason to think it will stop. Anyone living a modern and complicated life over email is left in an awkward place. The crypto crowd has an easy answer: use end-to-end encryption, locking up emails with GnuPG and online chats with programs like Cryptocat. You can hold your own keys, making sure no one can decrypt the message but the person you're sending it to, and count on open-source code reviews to expose anyone who tries to slip a backdoor into the code. It's a good system and it works, but for most users, it's still a bunch of extra inconvenience for no obvious benefit. In the end, it's easier to blame Microsoft for violating our trust and move onto the next company, with the same data practices and the same terms of service. With Google, Apple, Yahoo, and countless other free webmail services waiting in the wings, there are plenty of options to choose from. They'd never do a thing like this... right?
