I never quite understood the problem with nuclear waste. We extract uranium and whatever from mountain rock and we put the waste back into caves in mountains. It it's just put away deep enough, there shouldn't really be such a big problem. But maybe I just don't understand things about this quite the right way.

Yeah, it's actually quite impressive and we are going in the right direction.

Sunday 24, 2017 was a true green Christmas Evening i Denmark. Not only did we not have any snow, but we had a windy day. The average production of electricity on the 24th, is expected to end at around 110% in green energy. And about 90% around 5-6PM. "This resulted in a true green Christmas", says the Danish minister of clima, Lars Christian Lilleholt (V). "- It means a lot. It's a signal that we are having a huge wind power production in Denmark", the minister says to TV2. By the way, it's not uncommon that we have a few days a year, where we produce more than 100% of all our energy, by wind power. Even on very windy days where all factories are running at full speed, the power consumption can be less than what is produced by wind power and solar panels.

On a 60 Hz monitor, you have a trailing of the mouse as well as well as when scrolling a document or a webpage the text sort of flickers. Issues you didn't have on old CRT monitors running high refreshing. I used the term flatpanel. I don't know if that is the same as a flatscreen. Then it's my bad. In my native language, a flatpanel is excactly what it says - a modern, flat non-CRT TV or monitor.

I've read a lot about it in the past from large monitor manufactures like Eizo, Samsung etc. I can't say that I'm up to date about the newest developement. And the technique behind monitors isn't really the thing I want to debate. None of us can be experts, as various manufactures of monitors use very different techniques. So I want to get back to the debate about the 60 Hz issue. It has been a sort of the standard for decades, being probably the only thing in computers, not being developed or pushed forward. And there are clear benefits to raise this number even to just 75 Hz.

Well, that's not the only reason. And that's why high end and graphics and professional monitors have a high (slow) refresh/respons rate.

I don't agree that people are fine with it! A lot of people working full time behind a monitor on a daily basis, struggles with headaches etc. In the old CRT days, it was clearly visible that any monitor flickered at 60 Hz, yet nothing was really done about it. Now we have TNT panels that do not flicker so bad, but they still flicker!

I wouldn't eaxctly say plenty! Yes, a search gives me 134 results, but only 9 of them are below 300$. If I narrow my search to something usefull, like min. 1920 * 1080 and minimum 24", I get 52 results. And only 10 monitors below 400$ Choosing all but TN panels, I get 16 results, the cheapest costs 580$!! Not exactly "plenty" or what could be called a standard cheap monitor. And what I'm really asking for, is the standard of 60 Hz to be raised, at least for anything but the cheapest monitors.

It was originally my intension to reply here, but my answer developed a bit Not an IPS panel, but I started overclocking my 6 year old Samsung BX2450 a little more than a year ago. It can manage 72 Hz (Nvidia) and that makes a HUGE difference in a game like Rocket League. As I work a lot with graphics, I would love an IPS panel. But I also occasionally game and it is a demand from me, that the monitor can go above 60 Hz in full resolution, either by default or by overclocking. I really feel that the monitor manufactors are letting us down! Back in the 90's, I had a 15" Eizo Flexscan that could do 85 Hz at highest resolution and 120 Hz at the next highest. When we got flatpanels, it was said all above 60 Hz was a total overkill and not detectable to the human eye. But it has been approved again and again, that this is not the case! And it is really nice that you today can buy 144 Hz gaming monitors and above, but what about the rest of us? Why not set a new standard, like 75 Hz or 85 Hz?? Sure, we get larger panels and higher resolutions and that is a sweet thing. As a side note, most 144 Hz (and above) gaming monitors I have seen, can only run 144 Hz under very specific conditions and only at the highest resolution. How would people react if Nvidia and AMD one day suddently announced that a new standard would be implemented in graphics, promising incredible picture quality in gaming etc. but the technique could only run at 60 FPS max for the next many years, no matter the power of your PC? And that this was your only choice of gaming? This is what they did with monitors!! Sure, in the beginning, the technique in flatpanels was new and in their infancy, it was an early stage. But the 144 Hz panels shows the technique is there, even with some new IPS gaming monitors! I would really like to see Linus adressing this issue and it would also be nice to see some overclocking guides of flatpanels. Which panels can be overclocked and how much! Give us 75 or 85 Hz standard monitors NOW!! Or what is your opinion?

Us (the west) trying to create democracy around the world in modern times, never really worked in any case. Not as intended at least. We forget that the way we think are so different from how other cultures think. Even mentailties between western countries, can differ a lot. Maybe we should just stay out of the way.

Also, the problem here with this Danish-Kurdish girl, is that she's a Danish citicen now. If she was Kurdish, I'm not sure they could or would do anything to her. The last few days, we also had a lot of debate about non native Danes going to war in Syria for one or the other side, while getting social benefits from DK, which is of course totallly unexceptable..! They just left in secret.

AFAIK, the Danish Air Force (who just withdrew from Tyrkey) was fighting with the Kurds amongst others. But you must remember there are many Kurdish groups. And it's really a mess down there. We (U.S., E.U countries etc.) fights along with Kurds and other freedom groups, Tyrkey fights against any Kurdish group, against ISIS(L), Russia is on the Syrian Government's side fighting just about anyone and so on.

I'm saving up for this one: http://www.benq.eu/product/monitor/sw2700pt/

I'm biased, because I can understand what she's fighting for. But then there's the law and the law should be the same for all people. I'm from Denmark myself and I had a thought. Let's go back to WW2 for a moment. A Danish person living in the UK fighting on the British side during the war - yeah, a lot of Danes, Polish and other European people did the same. Who could imagne if that person, after the war, was condemed for fighting a war in a foreign country?!

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but couldn't find a better spot to post this. I've watched The LinusTechTips YT channel for a few months now and probably watched more than a hundred videos. I like them! I like the reviews, the people, the casual way people act etc. What I don't like, is the sound quality! On many videos, the sound is crisp and clear, on others it's just awful. But the most annoying thing is the level of the sound varying as much as it does, from video to video! I'd expect thy use a professional software for video editing, like Adobe Premiere Pro. What options LTT have to edit sound level, I don't know, but even cheaper video editing software, have capabilities to normalize the sound to a certain level. Say 90% level or -2dB. Whatever..! There are more professional ways of leveling the sound. I do a lot of video editing in my spare time and use Adobe Audition to manage sound. AFAIK, you can even export/import sound managing task directly between Premiere and Audition. Audition has a function called "Match Loudness", which basically analyses the sound to a chosen spec, i.e. ITU-R BS.1770-3 which is used by television stations, film studios etc. This feature find peaks etc. and adjust levels so that it will fit the consumer's hardware, being a TV or whatever. It's not the perfect solution, as it doesn't raise or lower particular parts of a sound if the levels are incorrect, but it ensures the level from each video to the next will always be the same in general.
