    Google form sounds reasonable. There are ways I have personally used, to dynamically pre-fill Google forms. This could pre-fill the video URL. It's a simple modification of the form URL. When a video is uploaded, just grab the URL and paste it within the form submission URL. Limit form responses to 1 time per user, with a daily reset of the users' submission count.

    Atra1n2 got a reaction from VictiniStar101 in Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity   
    @LinusTech Whether it's fair or not, LMG is held to the highest standard among Tech YouTube, because of it's leadership position in the landscape. Occasionally you're going to take one on the chin; but see the silver-lining, in that people expect nothing but excellence in the quality of data coming from LMG, even if you all do some of the most wildly entertaining stuff in tech (all of those jank water-cooling videos, haha). Others, including GN, provide reliable, high quality data; but at LMG's scale, it'll automatically be held to a higher standard than Steve, so it's not going to be easy. GN didn't get where they are in terms of the quality and rigourousness of scientific testing over night. Labs is going to take time, but the viewership needs to see those efforts you've already talked about start becoming more readily apparent in the integrity of the data both spoken by the presenter and displayed on screen in videos. That's not to take away at all from the advancements you all have already made in the breadth of your testing gambit, and the automations designed to pump out more data, quick-lier. Keep on keepin' on LMG!

    Wow I actually think that this fixed the problem. I put the router on the ground rather than on top of my case and it looks like most of the crackling stopped. Granted, this didn't happen before when the transceiver was right next to the router so I didn't think that was the issue. Hopefully the problem is actually gone this time and not just me being lucky during my testing. Anyways, thanks for the help!

    I'm pretty sure these are wireless, right? How do they sound wired to the computer, if they have a 3.5mm port? You may have wireless interference between your PC and headset (i.e. WiFi mainly).

    Atra1n2 got a reaction from Slayer3032 in Overpriced Used Gaming PC?   
    @Andrizzle you can find fairly cheap pre-built tier 1 branded (hp, dell, acer) office-type PCs on ebay with 3rd generation i5s. I bought a slim form factor HP with an i5-3450, with 8gb ram, 1tb HDD, and no OS. I used the old Win 7 COA sticker to obtain an OS then used Windows 10 upgrade. I added an SSD for the boot drive and a GTX 1050 ti slim form factor so I wouldn't have to upgrade the PSU and came in well under $400. I think the PC was $120, $70 for the SSD and $150 for the GTX 1050 ti. It runs most games at med-high setting at or around 60 fps.

    Atra1n2 reacted to Slayer3032 in Overpriced Used Gaming PC?   
    I'd suggest just grabbing some sort of prebuilt off ebay, tossing a power supply, cheap ssd and a video card into it and calling it a day over pretty much all the overpriced junk on your craigslist. There's a lot of people out there who seem to think people will pay more than they did when it was new after all the fans start to die and it's been drug down a flight of rough concrete stairs by a power cord or something.

    Don't take that as a definite suggestion, just grabbed an example off ebay. Some pre-builts also switch around wires and plugs so you can't just stick generic parts into them, something to be aware of before you go that route.

    To answer your question, no it shouldn't. It likely just shares an IO lane with one of the SATA controllers or that specific port. Looking at the board specs, it states that it supports PCIe x 4 NVME M.2 SSDs, so you should be all set to get max performance from the M.2 drive.

    Atra1n2 got a reaction from Yongtjunkit in slow usb 3 transfer rate   
    I'm not exactly sure if I understand what you're trying to do, but any executable that needs to access files will only run as quickly as the storage medium those files are located on. From your transfers above, it doesn't sound like your USB flash drive is fast, so I would recommend the local HDD or even an SSD if you have one.

    Atra1n2 reacted to Electronics Wizardy in slow usb 3 transfer rate   
    probalby faster to run off a hdd, usb sticks are normally very slow. They also don't have much endurance normally, so it will die quickly running programs.

    Atra1n2 got a reaction from Yongtjunkit in slow usb 3 transfer rate   
    It may be due in part to transferring a large number of small files. In these types of transfers you will see no where near your drive's maximum speed. Try transferring a single large file, and compare your speeds in that scenario.

    Atra1n2 got a reaction from Tech_Dreamer in Largo Detectives use Dead Man's Finger to Unlock his Phone   
    This just disgusted me when I came across it, but apparently detectives tried to use the fingerprints from the corpse of Linus Phillip, 30,  to unlock his phone and use the information from it to aid in an investigation into a seperate inquiry into drugs involving Phillip. Phillip was shot by a police officer a month prior when he tried to escape police, shortly before they were going to attempt to search him. When the detectives came to the funeral home, the fiance of the deceased suspect also happened to be there. There was no search warrant for the detective(s) to attempt to gather the data from the phone. Personally, the bigger problem here seems to be that law enforcement were willing to use a corpse fingerprint to try to gain access to the phone, however warrantless searching, and the disregard for the rights of the deceased are also disturbing. The article does cite a 2014 Supreme Court ruling:
    However, with the suspect deceased, this becomes a possible legal gray-area. 
     
    The article goes on with input from a Stetson law professor: 
    In spite of this, we haven't encountered a case like this before. What privacy rights, if any, do the deceased have? Are these rights passed down to next-in-kin with their property? Aside from that, how disturbing is it that police actually went to the funeral home after the body was released by the state and attempted to use the dead person's finger to unlock the device, with or without warrant or right to do so?

    I ran a "repair" install with a windows 10 creators update ISO and had to leave it sit a few hours while I was gone. I came back and it successfully installed Version 1703. So I dodged the clean install process. I suspect there are some missing drivers or support in the normal upgrade package that renders it incompatible with NVME devices.

    That's true. I think everyone is just really taking notice, moreso than previous versions, because of the huge shift to the whole Windows as a service thing, and the aggressive data collection. Windows 10 has been a huge transition.
