    I've asked this before, but didn't get an answer. What is your beef with MediaTek wifi? You are aware that MediaTek is in the business of making WiFI AP SoCs, while Intel dumped their equivalent division?
  2. Granular
    What exactly do you have against MediaTek wifi? I can personally remember encountering 2 bugs (that were definitely the adapter's fault) with Intel wireless cards. No such experiences with my MT7922

    From the very begginings at NCIX, Linus has been churning out videos that trick people into thinking they've learned something about a product, when in fact doing so would take more effort than either they or Linus are willing to commit. Did Steve really expect him to 'do better'?

    This is such a convoluted premise. Why is the PC buried? What possible scenario are you envisioning where the gaming station would be subject to conditions that would kill the PC, but still not kill the peripherals/monitor/player?

    Is building an actually airtight container for the computer and filling it with dry nitrogen that much more work?

    These videos play like Linus doing chores and making a video out of it to multitask. Looking forward to dishwashing liquid and snow showel 'reviews' around Christmass.

    So is the presentation available via the internet - the technology behind the infamous Floatplane streaming service?

    Cool beans. Personally, I'd like to see some standarized tests evaluating OLED panel burn-in, maybe something like Allyn Malventano's great storage benchmarks and the idea of evaluating whether a motherboard's VRM desgin leaves performance on the table sounded really intriguing.

    From the thumbnail, it looked like Linus was about to review some kind of gaming fridge.

    Linux doesn't hate you. Linux respects you. It respects you enough to give you all the rope you need to hang yourself with. Props for doing the series though.

    Would have been interesting to see some breakdown of which use cases are more affected by the increased memory latency and which ones are not (in place of the irrelevant riffing on the PSU, for example).

    You can get any computer running without fans ... until it overheats and trottles to hell like this did.

    I don't care what features the case has or whether what Linus does is in line with what the case manufacturer expects. The title shouldn't promise no moving parts if there are going to be moving parts.
  14. Granular
    1 simple promise: no moving parts. Linus by the end of the video: we ended up putting a fan in there.

    What, is the 6GHz band not available in Canada?

    2021 will be the year of the palmtop Linux.

    The momen I realized, how straightforward and powerfull the terminal can be, is one of my fondest tech-related memories. "I'm commanding my computer to do things and it does them!". ...And when it doesn't, it returns an error message, googling which returns a stackoverflow thread with a solution for your problem 95% of the time.

    A video 1(sponsored by LG) that also plugs 2) Floatplane and 3) LTT store, 4) while also looking like an advertisement for midrange Nvidia GPUs

    The statement about Nvidia wanting to put a lower MSRP on a product it will sell through at any price is just outrageously ludicrous. Really puts a dent in my suspension of disbelief that Linus is providing a genuine opinion of some sort.

    Actually, you wall socket can provide over 1000W by itself, so PSUs in general are a scam. If you look closely, a power 'supply' doesn't supply any power by itself, it only messes with the power from the wall. For maximum power efficiency, just plug wires from the connectors on your motherboard/GPU.

    You're wearing your masks backwards It would be nice if you specified the amount of spyware loaded on 'smart' TVs (and projectors) you review. Would make for a good Glasswire sponsor spot, eh?

    Living in solitary confinement jail cell makes you very secure from home invaders. Doesn't make for a healthy life worth living though.

    Google is also a terrible company, yes. At least they don't require you to buy a computer from them and pay a yearly subscription fee for the privilege of writing software for your own phone.

    Software distribution on iOS is a monopoly and monopolies are bad. More news at 11.

    The reasons I can think of for the old opener not connecting to the new AP are The opener only supports 802.11b data rates, while AP is configured to not allow them The opener only supports TKIP wireless ciphers, while AP is configured to not allow them The opener was locked to BSS (MAC address of the old AP). It would be weird if it was, but so is the inability to reset it. 1 and 3 are simple to fix with AP config changes, but enabling TKIP is a security liability, which you seem to take seriously.
