So I want to know something. 
 
I know Linus has decided to not sell merch to Russia. Idk what the sales figures are from Russia compared to the rest of the world. I know a lot of companies are doing that as well, in response to what is going on between Russia and Ukraine. My question is, is it because companies are trying to avoid paying taxes to the Russian government? 
 
I also feel like this is alienating innocent Russians living in russia.

If the stuff sold as merch is on Canadian list of banned exports, that's one hinder. Payments coming from Russia would be another. Then there's actual shipping problem. AFAIK only some land transports are going through from Europe side. So just those three could be huge factor between not taking sides and publicly taking a side.

Summary
Linus Torvalds calls out Intel's BS market segmentation practices with regards to ECC memory usage and adoption within the industry

My thoughts
 
I've known this for 20+ years. Intel reserves ECC compatibility near exclusively for their Xeon lineup. There are rare SKUs for Core series, but those are usually for embedded appliance usage.
 
And while bit-flip errors are rare, they do happen. Its only going to get worse as density increase. ECC being a mainstream option is long overdue IMHO.
 
Google published a paper on this back in 2009 for anyone interested in the read.

Never heard of radio clocks.
But that's kinda what i originally what i was looking for (before finding hybrids).
Looks great, thanks @Origami Cactus, @iBabySlapper !
 
You can even setup your own radio signal, interesting.
 
@spwath Ye, $500 is a bit too much for me  Still an option though.

We consider this sort of content highly transformative and therefore protected by fair use.

Right here, go buy one if you have a spare $120 000

For a short period of time, they did exist. 
The problem was that they existed well before Ultra HD became a thing. Not to mention most non-movie content (and many movies, as a matter of fact) are shot at 16:9 or in lower ratios.
Also, 21:9 isn't exactly correspondent to how films are shot; 21:9 is something like 2.33ish:1.

I'll also weigh-in here and say that it's not going to be much fun to have a BYOC ticket without a computer..
 
This is not a "DreamHack event" like they put on in other cities. It's a "LAN Party powered by DreamHack".
 
With no PC you'll just be standing there watching others game at night.
 
As long as you know what you're getting yourself into, then it's up to you, though.

I know it really struggles with subtitles on 4k content. Something about that aspect of the process being single-threaded. 

This is an excellent explanation of how these things work. 
 
I'd like to add that as long as the creator who gets the automated claim disputes it in a timely manner, there is no lost revenue during the period while it was "claimed". 
 
I've been down at IBM Think for the last couple of days and this thread is the first I'm hearing of this issue.. Aaaand it's already resolved. 
 
So, as far as I can tell, everything is working as it should...ish
 
We have noticed a significant uptick in copyright claims in the last couple of weeks, though, with some of them being in really really old content which suggests youtube has made some kind of change to ContentID and we've been trying to figure out how to address it.
 
We are generally pretty supportive of the creation of derivative works by our community and we want to make sure that they aren't being algorithmically claimed, but this change has caused other issues for us too. I woke up the other morning to a handful of claims made against Tech Quickie by LTT... Can't have that. 
 
I'm sure this will be resolved, but it's probably going to take some time for youtube to get their crap in order, as usual. 

Ivan is no longer with us, I'm afraid. 

Urban Star from Costco.
 
The old ones were better (deeper pockets).
 
They aren't great quality - like the fly is waaay offset from center on many of my pairs - but the stretchy material and loose fit make them crazy comfy.

It's called "family link" . 

Gonna check in with Kyle and make sure he's not having any trouble!

We've got it on pretty good authority that Google basically ignores tags on YouTube. I wouldn't be surprised if they remove the feature at some point..

There's no sales pitch because it's not ready for heavy promotion. 
 
The barriers are intentional right now to filter out anyone with high expectations considering what a small, bootstrap operation it is. 
 
The backers on the site are getting early access to creators, yes, but they are also super fans who are contributing just to see us build this thing and to support us. 
 
Someday it will be ready for the mainstream (both creators and viewers) but we don't want to take it out of the oven before it's cooked. 

Nah

i liked the story very much.
someone might be less fond of it tho.
 
Ending is unrealistic tho, but still was a good experience.

Cloud gaming is fine.
If you put your cloud server in your closet 

Geneshift A GTA-inspired battle royale where each round lasts only two minutes. Use exploding cars, miniguns, invisibility, and more to outplay friends in tactical online combat. Loot for special powers, build secret bases, and be the last man standing.
 
Bonus Games:
 
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is at a historical low right now over at UPlay.
Tom Clancy's The Division is also at a historical low right now over at UPlay.
 
There's other decent prices on other games over at UPlay but they're not exactly historical lows so I didn't mention them.
 
EDIT: I have just found out that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is even cheaper right now over at UPlay. Only $8.99 instead of the $12.00 price above.

Yeah I forgot to post it

Same card with same billing address (NOT the office, but my personal address) was used for all systems. Can't have an employee putting $10,000 CAD on their card. Not really appropriate. 
 
We have no reason to think that anyone put 2+2 together for these purchases. 
 
As was pointed out earlier in this thread, Yvonne Ho (not Sebastian) is not an obvious link to LTT for the VAST majority of people. The folks on this forum are an exception. 
 
Also, only the billing department and customer care saw this. Pre-sales did not. 
 
Another thing, there was no obvious tone shift in Maingear, for example once they realized who they were talking to. If we'd noticed we were getting special treatment we'd have called back to get another rep for sure (as it is we dealt with the first rep we talked to for everyone) 
 
PS if Maingear was in on it, don't you think they'd have shipped us a more powerful system? Lol...

alienating your user base just for shitty sponsored video, cant say i expect more from you nowadays
 
 

Yeah I googled after I posted. Apparently even intel iGPUs can play 4k 60fps youtube videos. However, this company highly recommends a non-integrated GPU. Specifically an NVIDIA GPU. They are surprisingly.... vague on the actual PC requirements.
