    William Payne got a reaction from Thepyrodex in Found a fake LTT Screwdriver already.   
    Talk about a small market. Not to disrespect LTT but a rachet screwdriver is a handy device for many industries. Used by millions of people both hobbyists and professionals alike. 
     
    Not only is this morally wrong in my point of view but those who are going to actually buy an LTT rachet screwdriver are going to just buy the real one. 
     
    People who just need a ratchet screwdriver are going to buy a quality one from the traditional tool companies.

    What is funny is I know older people than the guy in that video who are up to date with modern computer technology. Though you are also very correct in that many seem to stop at a certain point and never bother with anything newer.

    William Payne got a reaction from AkikoKumagara in AMD fTPM causing random stuttering.   
    I only just learned about this. I have been battling this for ages but I had no idea it was linked to ftpm. This explains why it only started randomly as I only turned ftpm on when I went to windows 11. 
     
    I just did a bios update which was stupid new (end of august new) so will see how that goes.

    I liked this video. I have a nostalgic curiosity in stuff like this. It would be cool to have a completely working era correct computer like what my school class had when I was a kid. Not sure what I would do with it though.

    I would like to take the time to say a serious thank you to Linus Media Group. I am a man of science and engineering. Sure I spend way too much time playing video games same as everyone. But LMG have taken the time to go beyond their normal audience and show fantastic videos like their recent IBM tour, and past videos showing data centers, quantum computing, fusion reactor development, machine learning. 
     
    The tour videos of these types of facilities I really appreciate. None of this kind of stuff is going on down here in New Zealand. So being able to see it on youtube I am thankful beyond what I can put into words. 
     
    Scientific and engineering computing video's probably due to the limited audience are not as easy to find as I want them to be. I have often wished there was a channel devoted to scientific and engineering computing, I would do it myself but I am not qualified to do it properly, nor do I have the access.

    I love youtube. I happily pay for youtube premium so as to not get adds. For me it has replaced television. It is also a convenient platform for should I stop procrastinating and make my own videos of some kind. 
     
    Here are my issues with youtube competitors. I subscribe to dozens of channels. Many make you pay per channel. It would make me go broke. It is why I am not big on using patreon, it is just too expensive. 
     
    Tech for the sake of tech is not overly appealing. Youtube is easy, I search a subject and videos show up. I watch a video on a subject and other similar videos are recommended to me. 
     
    Some people say the algorithm hurts smaller changes because it doesn't push them. If that is the case why are most of the channels I watch and most of the ones recommended to me small channels?
     
    Think about why the google search engine is probably the most popular. Because it is simple. It is a search bar on an otherwise blank page that does exactly what you want it to and is stupidly simple.

    I obviously can't tell @LinusTech what videos to make but one thing I think is needed in the enterprise/workstation world is example use cases. In gaming videos you can build a pc and see actual results within the game. But you see workstations like what Puget Systems build or big gpu servers and various high performance computing hardware examples. But you never see what people are doing with them. 
     
    Like when people say they are doing machine learning, or scientific simulation, or data analysis. Well can we see some examples? Haha.

    One other thing I will add is if you want technology to flourish, you can't limit it to only those with the knowledge to make it work. Keeping things within ones little club is a great way to limit the number of uses. However the issue there is that usually those who want to keep thing behind a locked door are deliberately doing so to limit the number of users. Some people do not want "their thing" to be popular.

    I am going to take you back in time to a world long gone that is older than many on this site I imagine. Pre youtube if you wanted to watch videos of things online you either watched ebaums world for funny stuff. Or you had a downloader sort of like git that was saved as an application on your computer. I for the life of me can't remember what it was called. But you would search for something and it would list .MOV files found online related to what you searched. No picture, no thumbnails. You had to hope like mad that what you were downloading was not a trojan. Viruses were very very common back then. 
     
    Everything was pirated and you had no idea of the quality you were getting until you had downloaded it. Youtube was an absolute godsend in comparison when it came out. 
     
    Also the way pirated movies/music/tv/anime was distributed back then was commonly between other enthusiasts. You had to find someone who had what you were after and make a trade and you would generally trade stuff between people via cd's. 
     
    What we have today is not perfect. But what the original poster described sounds horribly complicated.
