  1. In that case, you can use something like KdenLive or Openshot! Any half-decent free windows video editor you could google for would do the trick
  2. True, but I'm just trying to make the most out of free parts without spending a bunch of money, just asking for just the lettuce :3 I'm flexible with the cooler, some older corsair single radiator AIOs are cheap on eBay and would work for me. This, actually, would be perfect! I mentioned I didn't need a GPU so that's exactly what I was looking for. Price is a little steep for what I would be using it for but the idea is perfect. I'll take a look at these!
  3. It's always worth it to just do it if you're on the fence with it, clears out all the old drivers and junk. It should be, for the most part, plug and play, but it's always good to exercise digital cleanliness :^)
  4. Far too much money on this piece of crap little machine that will sit in the corner of my room generating heat unfortunately Newegg was a great suggestion but unfortunately the majority of the cases are either actually mATX, or so old they aren't even on the market anymore, not having much luck. It's a very, very bad search engine for parts
  5. From: Microsoft Community : How to put Live wallpaper on Windows 10 No need to make a video, Windows has a feature for that
  6. Hey all, I've got an ATX build I got from a friend: full ATX board, full ATX PSU, tower cooler (probably something like a Hyper 212 Evo, not sure) and the most awful most gigantic case I've ever used, the Gamdias Talos P1A. It sits in the corner of my room for a general use server, with no GPU as it's not needed. I want to see what the smallest case I can get for it would be, given that it's a full sized ATX build I'm not expecting I can get anything ITX sized of course, but anything that fits these parts and can do it compactly or (ideally) without considering a full-sized GPU would be fantastic. I'm okay downsizing the CPU cooler, it's a 9700k, it'll manage LOL. Thanks in advance!
  7. Of course, but the idea is that it is possible, even if a little complicated. That's what OP was asking for. Sometimes it's the things you have to do to get things to work when you're already invested in a platform
  8. Not necessarily true! Tethered requires you to be attached to your computer every time you reboot. Altstore and Sideloadly both have you only needing to refresh on the same Wi-Fi network, or tethered by cable, once a week. Regardless, it's still not impossible.
  9. they used to be MASSDROP and yea, they're reputable. Good stuff lots of sponsored reviews, check out the Massdrop + Sennheiser headphones
  10. Hey there! You can sideload with AltStore or Sideloadly on your computer! They document the process and you will have to provide a working Apple ID but you can make a dummy one if you don't want to use your own. I'm using this on my iPhone SE (2020) on 17.0.3 working perfectly for YouTube without ads and a torrent client. https://altstore.io https://sideloadly.io It's not too hard, but you will struggle a bit. Also, unless you wanna emulate GBA games or DS (maybe) games you're out of luck. No PS3 emulation on a phone. So, temper your expectations and don't think you're gonna be getting top level console performance out of an iPhone. You can! It's not the most ideal, easy, or user friendly thing, and it's far inferior to Android, but you definitely can, provided someone's developed an emulator that can be sideloaded. Delta Emulator for instance does NES, N64, and GBA, and DolphiniOS does Wii and GameCube.
  11. well, no... just hotter than the norm not like boil water
  12. blow out dust and re-paste the CPU if you haven't, otherwise a new CPU cooler can be had for cheap on eBay since AM3+ is so old now. These APUs run hot.
  13. Which one? Seems they have a of options... all of them big mid-full towers
  14. it is a how-can-we-make-it-as-small-as-possible problem. Don't need or want it big.
  15. Hey there, I have a system with an i7-9700k and no dGPU that I got for free and use for hosting game servers (8c8th leaves much to be desired but it's fast for me. anyways...) It came in this massive and ugly GAMDIAS case that I need to get rid of so I can downsize. No frills needed here as it will sit in a corner. I am looking for something that: is full ATX is reasonably priced ($80-100 if possible) has no tempered glass and fits a Hyper 212 EVO I had asked my friend @jaslion (hi!) which cases they recommend and they recommended the RIOTORO CR 1080. Amazing fit with the size, lack of features and glass, and price. However, it is sold out. as is the CR1088... and as is the CR488. In the same vein, the newer case they offer, the MORPHEUS, ...is expensive, thick, and a dust magnet for being on the floor. I wanted to see if there were any other cases of a similar spec, size, and criteria that were available for purchase (in the NA market anyway or able to be shipped for reasonable prices). Thanks in advance!
  16. I have nothing to add except this is a pitchfork post and pitchfork thread and could've just been a reply to the megathread. Needless reaction and post altogether.
  17. There's "addressing" and then there's DOING. It's what they are actively DOING that Steve is calling out here. You can "address" things all you want but actions, as we've all heard, speak louder than words.
  18. Remember the whole "we're just a small indie game company" thing that gamers like to make fun of? That's what Linus's reply kinda felt like. It's not hard to take responsibility for errors instead of throwing that card on the table. We've heard it too much...
  19. I've noticed a lot of asterisks lately. I sometimes listen to LTT videos in the background while I play a game or while I cook food, I don't think I can trust the integrity of the content with this many asterisks unless I have my eyes glued to the screen. I think Steve has a point about the upload scheduling and lack of consistency. I've started moving to other channels for more in depth and consistent testing methods and data for a while now just because of the trend but I never realized there were enough other examples to fill a 44 minute video. In one situation I even had someone quote that Cyberpunk 4090 stat straight at me at work trying to hype up the card. Hard to watch, but this is necessary. And I don't even have to start with the Billet Labs situation. Tough...
  20. I looked around for a bit on this forum and didn't see this video posted anywhere, and if it has been, my apologies. Just came across a YouTube video of someone who managed to decipher the inner workings of the T- and M-series Mac/MacBook SSD setups, and as it turns out, the internal SSDs CAN be swapped and even upgraded! As the channel discusses in the video, T1 MacBooks can have their SSD and SSD Controller removed, and a part (which the channel manufactures, for disclosure) can be soldered in place to link up the PCIe slot the SSD controller would take to a normal M.2 slot for mounting any readily-available consumer storage. Pretty neat! But, and in more interesting details, what the channel actually outlines is how the storage on the MacBooks/Macs with the T2 chip, and the later the M1 (not dissimilar in implementation), can be upgraded, and while it's not easy by any means, it is possible. Apple employs a (presumable) RAID 0 configuration among 2-8 flash chips attached to the T2 or M1 that are individually given unique proprietary firmware to determine how and if they will work together, and be physically seated on the motherboard. With a flash tool and enough SSD donors of matching models, and provided the machine has the physical mounting pads available for the chips (as it turns out, they are enabled dynamically depending on how they are configured at the factory, which the video goes into more detail about), the SSDs can be replaced or even upgraded. Obviously this wouldn't be a job for the average user, and would require a professional board repair specialist or enthusiast soldering hardware, but could save many Macs and MacBooks from the dumpster after storage failure and perhaps offer a storage upgrade if that's a cost worth stomaching. And, which I think is the most important part of all of this, it proves that storage modifications to these devices ARE NOT impossible, which puts Linus' own Mac storage upgrade attempts out of date, to the extent that it was suggested to be outright impossible. For what that's worth, I definitely think this makes a great future re-visit for LTT to tackle in the future, if not on the user-accessible storage models like the Mac and Mac Studio, then for the Labs with more intensive soldering equipment Regardless of the facts, the ways that Apple is going about this is obviously not good for consumers or repair as a whole. While the technology behind this is intriguing and inventive, and it's encouraging that it is possible, the fact that it's gotten to this point at all is a mess for everyone but Apple themselves. DEFINITELY check out the YouTube video, they worked for 6 MONTHS on this video and bought much of the hardware necessary to test this all themselves! It is an incredibly interesting watch and is 100% worth supporting.
  21. adapters are cheaper than the headache what will ensue. DP to DVI is ~$8-15, depending on region.
