No you just get filed under the " person who defends boomer billionaires nobody likes " folder.

Am I crazy or is the whole tpb mining thing a pretty legit idea for a business model. What if you could get access to extra features on a site if you do x amount of mining for them. Just install, set some times or even manual activation and you'll get premium access to a site. Like x hours of mining for x days of premium access. 

The only thing that could've tempted me was a promotion display. 120hz on a phone, that'd be really great! Now it's just meh.

This video was really A+. Seeing @Slick baby the parts and having this lowkey smile of joy the entire video is so fun to watch. Also loved the whimsical editing with the classical music. This might be one of my favourite LTT videos ever. That's one sexy Geodude.

Just wanted to add my Wendell appreciation post to the thread. Would love to see him more on LTT. Cute how Linus is extra careful not to talk over him out of respect. They seem like the professional wise master and the savy street guy together.

That actually isn't the reference one.

Was it? In that case, keep the RX 480.
 
I don't recommend the 3GB model because a) it's a cut down chip of the 6GB model and thus has worse performance and b) 3GB of VRAM can be fairly restrictive at times.

In which scenarios is Fast Sync beneficial? Is this a new type of tripple buffering?
 
I wish Nvidia would just support Adaptive Sync already. I have no idea about the engineering cost involved but it seems anti-consumer not to. 

IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
 
But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
 
I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
 
These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
 
 
 
In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
 
We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
 
This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
 
With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
 
Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
 
Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
 
We couldn't. We're hiring.
 
I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
 
Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
 
So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

Scroll down to the bottom, click THEME. It was on the "please hold we're updating" page I think.

This neat little open source software is just wonderful, I've been looking for something like this for so long. I have to switch between my headphones and speakers a lot.
 
Anyway here's the thing.

Trying to install your OS via USB and the motherboard just won't cooperate.

This reminds me of something that made me rage so hard. I had a Dell XPS laptop (had a lot of hardware problems (mobo + soldered GPU) with this thing already) and at one point I had to reinstall Windows for troubleshooting purposes. It did not have an usb 2.0 port. Has anyone ever tried installing win 7 from usb without an usb 2.0 port? It was hell. Tried slipstreaming the drivers and all kind of solutions and it didn't work for 3 days. Once I managed to get a hold of someone who could burn a win7 disc for me I found out the ethernet drivers didn't even work so I could not install or download any other drivers. I HAD TO BURN A DISK WITH BASIC DRIVERS. Makes me mad just thinking about it. 
 
I also had one shitty laptop (can't remember the brand or model) that I had to use an icepack to boot up. No problems with temperature or anything once it was on. Only during boot it would fry itself. It had smoke coming out it a couple times when friends tried booting it up without knowing about it. 

You could replace 'Apple Watch' with 'iPad' in the opening discussion and it would be the same type of critique as when the iPad just launched. 
 
"I'm not allowing you to like this."

Why use bacteria, that is dumb. If you're gonna go that route at least put some luminescent fish in the loop or something. 

A lot of people here are recommending going HDD first but I always say go SSD first. In whatever capacity you can afford. It saves you the hassle of having to reinstall your OS. Cloning from an HDD to an SSD is not recommended so you have to redownload and install everything again. If you're upgrading from a laptop of old computer you can just take out that HDD and use it to bridge the gap until you can afford a new HDD.
