Red Hardware

Just finished watching the video and I strongly agree. IMO, Dr. Cutress managed to identify problems with both sides of this story. He talked about how hard can things get when you start to scale, something that GN failed to notice. He also talked about where LMG went wrong and why they need to change. I do hope for more people to watch this video, I know it's long but I think it's necessary for everyone who is taking sides to watch this and be more level headed. Both sides (GN and LMG) made mistakes and mindlessly defending one of them or wanting to cancel the other just doesn't solve anything.

I guess they wanted to see how float plane community would react first OR they rushed the upload and youtube was still processing the video

As someone who has been watching LTT since the old house days and reading/watching GN for many years, I don't think there are any major ethics or integrity problems with either party. I don't believe LMG having Asus or Noctua as sponsors is the reason behind any positive reviews (or lack of negative ones). The same goes with having a CEO that had worked for Dell and Corsair or having Gary as head of the labs, these are not problems IMO, people always move between companies. I also believe that GN should have asked LMG for comments on selling the prototype to get the full story. The current problem with LMG imho is accuracy. Some of it is growing pains which I totally understand and I think we can see a clear improvement if we look at where they started at with Labs. The other part of the problem is ShortCircuit, the videos blur the line between unboxing and review and they might also involve data from Labs (which can be a good thing if they explain the testing methodology or link to it) but at the same time, the host can sound totally uninformed about the products and make obvious mistakes. The last example that comes to mind is Galaxy Z Flip 5 video. The video was too late to just be a simple unboxing (other channels posted full reviews around the same time frame). There were also test data from labs which also indicates that this is more than a simple unboxing or first impressions but at the same time, the host made mistakes which indicates that he didn't even properly research this product, for example, he said you can't run every app on the cover screen but you can, you just need to enable it in settings, a point that other sources got right. He also said that he doesn't know how many updates the phone will get and Samsung is slow at releasing updates. Anyone who follows the smartphone space or does proper research knows that Samsung offers 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates (even on their midrange phones) which is even better than what Google offers. If I'm not mistaken, they also are 2nd fastest in releasing new Android versions (just behind Google) and at times were faster than Google in releasing monthly security updates. These kinds of inaccuracies and mistakes are becoming more common on ShortCircuit and thus making it harder to trust the information provided in other ShortCircuit videos as well. I mean how can I trust the information on a shortcircuit video about a topic that I'm not familiar with if I can easily find simple errors in videos about topics that I am familiar with? Maybe when a shortcircuit video is becoming less of an unboxing and more of a review, the host should do proper research and writing before shooting the video and commenting on the product. Maybe set a minimum number of days that the host should use the product for when videos are more than a simple unboxing. The correct solution might be something else but I do believe that LMG management can come up with a solution to improve the accuracy of the information provided especially in ShortCircuit videos.

Happy to see I'm not the only one lol IMO If u r in google ecosystem, their built-in password manager is a really good option

Really interested to see 5600. As a current 3600x owner, i have no plan to upgrade but if I wanted to build a new system, i would have defiantly waited for non X variants as you can always easily OC them and get the same lvl of performance. Also we need to see something new from intel, the first sign of having less competition is this 50$ price jump.

Exactly Nobody wants a phone that's as thick as a flip phone but at this point, having a bit more thickness won't hurt anyone and will probably benefit power users. That's you, for you it won't make a difference but making it thinner , will it make a difference for you? I don't think so. But for power users, it definitely is going to hurt them. Back to iPad, it was thin enough. There was no need to make it thinner, I would've preferred a better battery life TBH if I was going to buy one. BTW can I know what phone are you using and what's the Screen on time on that thing from 100 to 10 or 5 percent cause you either have a phone with great battery life or you don't use it that much.

You are sacrificing too much for a thin design. I'm saying that having something slightly thicker than note9 for example but with even bigger battery is far better than having something thinner and I think most people want a better battery life since they probably put a case on their phones and add a lot of thickness to it and if it's okay for them with the case, they shouldn't care about it on the actual phone.

Yep It doesn't need to be that thin. A tablet is not going in to my pocket so why should I care if it was a bit thicker but instead had better battery and stronger frame or even some sort of passive cooling (or a better one if it has one already) People used to carry flip phones and the thickness wasn't a problem. So I don't know how a slightly thicker phone than what we have now can bother them, let alone a tablet that is not going inside pockets. But the thing is this: a thin and light tablet makes more headlines and that's what apple is thinking about probably. And there is a big problem with the whole thin thing that they are doing: As you know big companies like Apple and Samsung are in a position which makes them able to trend some stuff. Samsung did 18:9 aspect ratio and glass backs, wireless charging etc. Apple did headphone jack removal, notch, useless thin designs and now, they brought back the "who has got the thinnest" fight to tablet market. And probably, some manufacturers are going to blindly follow that and sacrifice performance or battery life for this. And that's the problem. You might get effected even if you don't have an apple product. And that's the sad part. Companies that just follow everything blindly(and most of the times they "copy" the bad stuff that apple does. Instead of learning from good stuff they do like 120hz display or mute switch ...

There are 2 things to note: 1st: This thing is a tablet so it's massive making it more breakable/ bendable 2nd: Apple is not innocent here, they probably could've made it more strong. If you see some drop tests, you can clearly see that the aluminum used here is soft, softer that what we see in phones which is not a thing you should do on a tablet. BUT since it's a tablet, it's less likely to be dropped or abused. But again, since it's a tablet, it should last for a longer period of time compared to phones and it might get carried in a backpack full of there stuff Using a thin layer of glass and a soft aluminum is not going to help with any of that but again, since it's a tablet, it's not going to be as big of a deal as iPhone 6 plus was.

Yep but most of PC users already have "windows defender" which is kinda good so "common sense" + "windows defender" are good enough is u ask me + windows defender is free

You have a point here but these things are NOT as common as other ways like clicking on everything etc. And windows defender does a decent job of keeping things safe "enough" The slow downs caused by antivirus softwares, being annoying etc are why I avoid them

So how many of you use antivirus softwares these days?? I mean windows defender is kinda good enough for techy ppl like us but i'm interested to see how many of u guys use these softwares

makes sense you can play fortnite on igpu as i saw some ppl do it. its free its more fun so yeh, that's why ppl are playing it more than pubg. If someone wants to play fortnite, all they need is a device with internet access(lol, but it really is) but for playing pubg, u need a good pc, and u need to pay for it. that's what holding pubg back. especially the system requirement. and i think they should work on optimizing their game instead if suing epic games. cause the style is different. one is realistic with cars and stuff one has a building part and smaller map. it's better to say they lost half of their players because of bad optimization. not because of fortnite

I kinda agree with you, okay google is somehow hard to say. Hey google is much better. Also i think they chose okay and hey google because google is known name for almost everyone even for less tech savvy ppl. It's hard to inform normal ppl that this virtual assistant with this name is from google but with okay google, everyone realize that

Fanboys are fanboys, you can't convince them. You can't argue with them with facts.For them, facts are things they like and thats it. For a apple fan who bought a home pod, siri is the best assistant but for a normal person, best assistant is one who get things right more often.

Apple fans responses to this news are really funny. They know that siri is trash but they are clearly trying to find reasons to say it's not lol

Are you sure? As i know, google home and amazon alexa work really well with smart home systems and there are a lot more devices out there that support google assistant and amazon alexa. And again as i saw on YouTube, you can do all you said about siri with Google assistant as well. I really don't get why you are saying that Siri is better with smart homes

I'm surprised by that as well

lol siri will give them better answers because they are in the "ecosystem" and yep i like to see other assistants in there as well since their sample size way bigger than a youtube video that compares them.

Soure: https://www.androidauthority.com/efficient-virtual-assistant-2018-859875/ Base on this report, Google assistant is the best virtual assistant right now, you might say not surprising. Yep but details are more interesting with this If you take a look at the chart above, You'll see that there is small difference between google assistant on smartphones and google assistant on Google home, but what's more interesting is how bad siri actually is. Only 40% answers attempted ???? which is far below others like google and cortana or even alexa. In terms of fully and correctly answered questions, siri is doing better but it's still dead last which is not good news for those who bought Apple's $350 "Smart" speaker. And for Apple fans out there wanting to say that the sample size was not big enough: They also have a chart which shows how many questions they got wrong and compares them with their last year score: Again, siri is not doing great and it got worse compared to last year, even more interesting, Alexa got a lot worst. Personally i think it's because of it trying to answer more compared to last year. Also cortana is doing great with the lowest percent of wrong answers. Edit: I'm also interested to see Bixby next time and see how it does compared to others. Also i like to note that from my experience, Cortana on windows 10 has some problems with voice recognition and she hear things more wrong than others. I think MS need to work more on their voice to text conversion as well.

Wow so it's great. Thanks for the info bro.

WOW Good for you then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ One question about fi, Does it worth it?

Really? What version of the app are u using right now?

I just don't get it. WHY people tend to care about default messaging app on their phones?? Just go to the play store, download a messenger that ur friends use and ur done. There are tons of messengers out there like Whatsapp, facebook messenger, or my favorite, Telegram which is completely cloud base and has Web and desktop apps as well + custom client apps. I don't get i message either, ur limited to iphone users so WHY ppl still use these things???????????????

That's a joke, the problem is that you are taking it seriously. To understand what I'm saying, take a look at the screenshot of their tweet about iphone in 1st page; then you'll get it. This is a joke, You should read it , laugh at it and move on.
