Anxiously awaiting for Ryzen 5xxx and new gpu.
 

New chair

I would like Linus do something similar to this with computer hardware in the DIY space, and actually RMA the part and see the experience.
Something like motherboard manufactures. Who offer the best service? Same for graphics cards manufactures.
Especially with the high prices these company now commands, I would like to see if their after-sale service improve... or they are just pocketing the money as profits.

Definitely. Not gonna hold my breath waiting, will probably suffocate to death.

microsoft once again focussing on things nobody wants instead of fixing the horrible broken mess that is Windows 10's UI.

After having heard this term in many tech youtube videos including LTT and also read it on many forums I finally decided to bring the issue up in this thread. I live in Europe and here the term "Master Race" is commonly associated with Nazi Germany language (a so called Nazism). I don't know whether this is also the case in the U.S. and/ or Canada but let me quote Wikipedia as a reminder:
 
 
Here is the link to the entire article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_race
 
As described above the Nazis assumed that they were the "Master Race" and thus superior to any other race on the planet. And some races (most prominently Jews) were deemed so unworthy/ inferior by the Nazis that they should not be allowed to reproduce and therefore needed to be exterminated. So in short words the Nazis used the term "Master Race" as justification for the most gruesome crime against humanity that mankind has ever committed, the industrialized killing of Jews, homosexuals, mentally ill and other people they deemed unworthy/ inferior.
 
I don't know about you but find it disgusting to use an utterly toxic term like "Master Race" in combination with a hobby like PC gaming that is supposed to be fun. What are we implying here? That console gamers are so inferior/ unworthy that they should be gassed in concentration camps? What about the approximately 40 000 Canadian and the hundreds of thousands of American service men and women who gave their lives in the fight against the terror regime the Nazis established throughout Europe and in parts of Africa? What would they think about us if they saw that we call ourselves the "PC Master Race"?
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
 
Given the historic background I strongly believe the term "PC Master Race" is completely inappropriate and should therefore be banned from all future LTT videos and the LTT forums. I constitutes an insult to the millions of victims of the horrible Nazi Regime and their relatives/ descendants and trivializes one of the worst crimes ever committed. Or in other words: I'd rather be an unworthy console gamer than being part of any kind of "Master Race".

Thanks in advance for taking my request into consideration.

I found A WHOPPING 8MB CF card from '99 lol. For some reason it was on the floor under my desk which certainly has not been here since '99.

in what way lmao

Normally Ubuntu should automatically detect the existing Windows installation and add it as a boot option. Provided you didn't use the whole drive and nuked your Windows installation.

If I still lived in SoCal I'd be happy to do it for the extra cash but alas, I moved to Philly in 2015. Good luck! 

Considering they will cost you the same I'd got for the RTX 2080 personally.
 
In the reviews so far the only reason NOT to pick up an RTX 2080 over a 1080 Ti is because it costs more for the same performance, in your case they are the same, so no reason not have the extra bells and whistles.  Plus there's a chance driver optimisations will improve it further over time.

If it costs the same then the 2080 is a better choice.

*cough*cough* You're not from "The Verge" are you...?
