I gave this a try, however when I moved the SSD over to this custom machine I don't get any video. When I press the power button it instantly powers off, so I'm assuming its stuck with some message and not booting to the SSD. Edit: I was able to install a remote client on the temporary laptop and remote in. Looks like the graphics drivers weren't working and it would only output to the nonexistent laptop display until working graphic drivers were installed

Unfortunately I already tossed the laptop keyboard. The OEM Dell keyboard I have plugged into it doesn't switch displays when I try those keys either

Hi all, Bit of an interesting situation I've found myself in. I have an old laptop (an EVOC P650RG) that I have removed the motherboard from to place into a custom HTPC chassis I am building. The only problem is, in the process I have damaged the display cable for the laptop display and it no longer works. I figured I could plug in an HDMI cable, and this sort of works. When the PC boots into windows I can get an HDMI output, the problem is I can't get any video before that point. This means no BIOS, and no boot selection. I removed the boot drive and plugged in a windows installation USB, but I'm not getting anything from that either. I can't even tell if its booting to it or not. I think it should be, since there isn't any other drive available. I also tried mashing F12 and hitting enter, but no luck. Blindly trying one arrow down, two arrows down, etc before enter isn't getting anywhere either. Does anyone know how I can get it to display to my monitor before reaching windows, or a source for a new cable? If not, my workaround might be to put this SSD into my current laptop and install windows from there, then drop the SSD into the HTPC and hope it boots to windows. Really hoping to get some display out instead of going that janky route though.

Hi all, I've been wanting to get myself a pair of ANC earbuds for a while now. My apartment complex recently started replacing roof shingles, and the constant hammering noises are driving me crazy and pushing me to get a pair. ANC isn't great at reducing short, sharp noises like clapping, right? Will they still help reduce all the hammering going on above me? If so, what buds for $200 or less do people recommend? I've got a Oneplus phone.

Hi all, I am working on setting up a backup job for my machine to a NAS using Veeam Agent, and I wanted to get some help understanding some settings. Here is the summary of my current job My first question is, what should I set the "Keep backups for xx days" to be? I don't really understand what this is referring to. Is it saying it will keep 3 of my active full backups before deleting the oldest? Or is it saying it will keep the 3 newest incremental backups for the current active full? Question two is, how often should I be doing active full backups? I read some threads on the veeam forum talking about forward and reverse incrementals, but I see no mention of that in my job settings so I don't know which one I am doing. Apparently reverse incrementals can go for longer without needing a new active full? Also I see talk about synthetic full backups, but again I don't have any settings for those. My current NAS config. has 3x3TB drives for a total of 5.4TB. I am running a volume level backup of my entire windows install on my C: drive, which is a 1TB drive (only about 250GB is used currently) as well as a 3TB S: drive (1.5TB used). I am also going to create a job to do a full entire computer backup of my laptop which has a 240GB SSD in it. So all in all, I am looking at a max total of 4.2TB of data that could be backed up, although the only thing I expect to get even close to full is my S: drive so more realistically 3TB is probably a rough max size for my backup. Despite having at least 1.2TB of space in my NAS over what could possibly be backed up, I ran into an issue last week of filling the entire NAS. I ended up just wiping the whole thing clean and starting fresh with the job I listed above. Before I had it set to keep 14 days of backups, which I have now set to 3 days. Why would my NAS fill up when currently the amount of data on these 3 drives is only about 1.8TB? It seems like it wasn't deleting old backups, when I checked the NAS storage there were incremental files from the first day of running the job still (which was about 3 weeks prior). In fact, checking it now with my current job config, I see 5 incremental files and my one full backup. Why is it keeping 5 when I have it set to 3 days?

"Quickly validating". Likes and dislikes of course aren't a substitute, but can easily be used to sort out a potentially bad video quickly without wasting too much resources watching it to find out if the content is worthwhile or not. It is the same as using reviews to find a new restaurant to eat at instead of going around and trying every one for yourself.

Summary Dmitry Selivanov, a user on github by the name of Anarios, has created an extension that allows users to restore YouTube dislike metrics to videos. The free extension works currently with a combination of GoogleAPI data and scraped data from videos still displaying the dislike count. Once Google removes dislike counts from the YouTube API in December, the extension will "switch to using a combination of archived dislike stats, estimates extrapolated from extension user data and estimates based on view/like ratios for videos whose dislikes weren't archived and for outdated dislike archives" (ReturnYouTubeDislikes FAQ). In an interview with NewsWeek, Selivanov said Quotes My thoughts As it stands, this extension is the best method we have of restoring YouTube dislike counts to videos. I think this extension can be very useful to users who rely on the like to dislike ratio for quickly validating the authenticity/quality of a video, and the more users who download it before YouTube completely removes the dislike count from the API, the more videos this extension can archive counts for and the more accurate it will become.

Optimal compression and the CPU usage isn't very high, my info is outdated I have a 3800x now. If I let it run it eventually finishes, it just takes an obscenely long time to "finalize"

Alright, just installed Veeam Agent and it remembered everything. I checked a recently canceled backup, it backed up 500MB. After that it read 504GB from my C: drive at 24MB/s and took 6 hours, and then spent 8.5 hours "finalizing" before I eventually canceled it.

I can redownload and reconfigure it, will it pick up the current backup or do I need to wipe my NAS and do a full one again

Yeah that was the problem, every daily incremental backup would takes HOURS verifying even though it only changed a few 10s of GB of files. Both NAS and my PC are connected directly to my router so I get the full gigabit connection, I'm limited by my drive speeds in the NAS. Veeam as it was setup was unusable, I don't leave my machine running for 12 hours a day and even if I do it causes significant hitches in games, I have to completely close out of the application from task manager, even if its not actively backing up or verifying. Because of that I almost never finished an incremental backup even ones of only a few 10s of GB which isn't acceptable imo.

I don't remember the exact message but it was completing the actual file transferring and then spending 10s of hours verifying/processing. For the photo drive I don't really care how its backed up, I'll be doing the whole drive but it doesn't have to be an image. For the C: drive I want an exact image of the whole drive that I can drop onto a new SSD and be back up and running again.

I actually just uninstalled Veeam as it was taking 24+ hours to do a backup and would constantly say my NAS wasn't connected

Hi all, I am looking for some recommendations for backup software and methods to my NAS. I need to backup both my photography drive and my C: drive, which is 3.5TB in total. I have a Drobo NAS, and I would like for it to act identically to a cloud backup solution like onedrive where I would do an initial full backup and then only update changed or new/deleted files. This is because most of my data is going to be ingested in batches and then will sit there unaltered after I am done with my work on that project, so it doesn't make sense for me to overwrite that data every x days with another full backup. Some research has led me to incremental backups, but that isn't exactly what I want as those seem to be typically configured to run in-between occasional scheduled full backups. Ideally I would never run a full backup after the first initial one. I don't keep my PC running overnight, and I don't want performance hindered by huge full backups every week/month that takes hours and hours. Any suggestions?

Awesome to see the testing that went on behind the scenes. If any LTT staff see this, would it be possible to get the files for the test rig you guys built? Would love to build my own to test my own mousepad. Edit: Oh apparently linus said in the outro card that there would be a link. Looks like you guys shot that outro with the original video so guessing someone forgot the link after these 6 months?
