The Apple Vision Pro promises to be the next revolution in tech.. but if you're not immersed in the Apple ecosystem does it still make any sense? Buy an Apple Vision Pro: https://lmg.gg/6Q1sT Buy a Meta Quest 3: https://lmg.gg/AG0Il (Canada: https://lmg.gg/4kr0H ) Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

We used these: https://www.mcmaster.com/2340N362/ That said you can definitely get them for way cheaper from AliExpress, we jest realized we needed them quickly so went with McMaster.

We could properly review Threadripper Pro 7000, but since none of you will be purchasing one anyway we figured having a bit of fun with it was in order. Check out the Falcon Northwest Talon PC: https://lmg.gg/falconnorthwesttalon Check out the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX (You wouldn't actually buy one...right?): https://geni.us/ro5cKt Buy G.SKILL ZETA R5 NEO 6400 MT/S CL32 4x32GB DDR5 RAM: https://geni.us/d5OkyD Buy Kingston FURY Beast 6000MT/s CL40 4x16GB DDR5 RAM: https://geni.us/aucx Buy a Crucial T700 Gen 5 (RAID 0) 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD: https://geni.us/10LcW4E Check out the Micron 65000 ION U.3 30TB SSD: https://lmg.gg/cJReu Buy an ASUS TRX50-Sage WiFi Motherboard: https://geni.us/R4rcCEO Buy a Silverstone HELA 2050W PSU: https://geni.us/Qqgmg Buy a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 FE Graphics Card: https://geni.us/i7NfB Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

Question about Washing Different Products
AlexTheGreatish replied to Mr.Chuckman's topic in LTTStore.com Merch
My general rules for washing: Always use cold water Separating by colour isn't really necessary when using cold water. Instead sort by roughness. I.e. have your socks, plaid shirts and towels in one load, underwear and LTT t-shirts in another. If it is stretchy don't use high heat in the dryer. Go low heat for longer. Ideally air dry. Mousepads you can just huck in the clothes washer, hang dry. -
I've used this stuff from MG Chemicals, it only has a thermal conductivity of 1.4W/mK but when assembling a heatsink the thermal conductivity of your adhesive is likely not going to be the bottleneck, tho solder is of course a lot better.

Looking to get a deal on eBay, Linus purchased an assorted box of high end components. It didn't go well. Buy an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU: https://geni.us/ZApWp Buy an ASRock Z790 Taichi Lite Motherboard: https://lmg.gg/F4H6p Buy an NZXT H6 Flow Dual-Chamber Mid-Tower Case: https://lmg.gg/kCDuu Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

I'm going to recommend zipties over VHB in this situation, although both is the most correctist solution.

We've made the MacBook Air cooler many times, but with the help of Frore Systems this time Apple should pay attention.

Don't Waste your Money - $30 vs $10,000 Racing Setup
AlexTheGreatish replied to Other James's topic in LTT Releases
You'll first have to combine all of your displays into one output in the Nvidia control panel. Depending on what GPU you have it might be called something different but I used Mosaic, likely will have to make the middle one 1080P for it to work. After that just chuck the resolution of all 3 combined into that file and turn on Windowed Borderless, should be good to go -

I'm using it in Windows 11 without any problems at all. Have you tried downloading the Windows 10 drivers? -

Would have loved to also try out the Monza R5 or the Fanatec CSL DD in the video but it can only be so long and that was where we decided to speed things up a bit -
Using the pool to cool Linus' computers is working great... for the computers. For the humans though it is too dang hot.

My pool leaked and killed my computer
AlexTheGreatish replied to AlexTheGreatish's topic in LTT Releases
We have absolutely no idea why it blew up. Checked the power cord with a multimeter and it was fine. Replaced the switch and all has been good. -
After the Sonos upgrade video Linus' computer leaked and sadly is dead... but we've got a whole host of upgrades to the pool cooling loop to make sure it doesn't happen again.
