I think its a preference thing. I prefer cloth. I actually prefered a logitech g640 over the mm300 i got

I don't watch their videos much, but when I do, I enjoy them.

This is all speculation by me, but this is something I kind of want to bring up. If you noticed, in Nvidia's keynote they never gave any performance numbers compared to the last generation Pascal GPUs. The numbers they gave compared to the last generation were in a unit that was never used to measure the old series, so frankly we have no clue what that means when it comes to raw FPS games and not improvement in ray tracing. I find it odd that Nvidia gave 0 mention of any actual raw FPS gains over last generation cards. So this is why I am going to predict that RTX cards will be barely faster than their previous generation Pascal cards. I personally believe that RTX cards will be a premium series. The only speed improvements will be from the slightly higher clock speeds and faster GDDR6 memory. I don't think that the 2070 will be much faster than the 1070, nor the 2080 over the 1080, and 2080 ti over the 1080 ti. Instead I think the RTX series will be a premium series for people who care about ray tracing. If you like that tech then you might be willing to pay ~$200 more to get a card with it and a slight performance bump. If you don't care you can still take a regular Pascal card and save a few bucks.
 
I hope I am wrong and these cards are much faster than Pascal, but as of now I really don't see it. I find it so strange that they would not give any gaming benchmarks. And honestly, Nvidia has no need to produce much faster cards yet. AMD has barely even made a competitor to Pascal that launched in May 2016. This is why I believe that RTX cards will only be for people who want ray tracing, they won't be much faster than their previous Pascal counterparts. 

EVGA by far.

RIP your M.2 access.....

also 30$ off when you buy a compatable mobo.
 

It's over a 3 hour round trip to Micro Center for me but still completely worth the drive.

Just got back from the flea market.

So the list of this is that Apple is trying to cut down it's taxes very aggressively. The most recent attempt at this comes in the form of flat out lying about the value of their headquarters. Love or hate apple, this is just stupid.
So much so that when someone mentioned it, I told myself it was a joke, couldn't be true...
http://thehill.com/policy/technology/401776-apple-argued-its-buildings-were-worth-200-instead-of-1-billion-to-reduce
https://sputniknews.com/business/201808151067197776-apple-claims-hq-worth-200-save-tax/
https://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Apple-is-reportedly-arguing-that-buildings-at-its-13154475.php
https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-trying-to-reduce-cupertino-tax-bill-2018-8
 
So TLDR, the tax assessors say the building is worth 1 billion, and apple says, "Nope it's worth the cost of a small portable shed."
For those who haven't seen it before, this is the building they are claiming to be worth $200

 
I'm not saying they're definitely lying... but

Each of those are solar panels. Most solar panels on a residential scale are about the cost apple is saying the building is worth...
Also this is not the only case of them trying to devalue property
It astounds me, and I'm not sure what to say that would be appropriate on this forum...To clarify the 489 open tax appeals stretch back to 2004, meaning there have been unpaid taxes held in court for years!

Let's end this with a quote from the man himself
 
Alternate Title: Apple Moves headquarters to mobile backyard shed 

 

spend 2-3k on parts and save everything else for something that's actually important. 

1) @ 1:16
Pixel response time has nothing to do with input lag, they are completely different.
Even linus knows this and has talked about it before, I thought he reviewed the script before recording videos but I guess not?
That part of the video incorrectly makes it seem like monitors have a 1-4ms delay between receiving an input and showing the image on the screen (aka input lag) which is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.
Monitors have typically 10-20ms or more of input lag, which can be compared on displaylag.com
 
 
2) @ 1:30
TVs don't "fare much worse" than monitors, in fact most recent models of TVs have about the same input lag as a regular 60hz monitor.
Apples to apples, a good 60Hz tv has no more input lag than a 60Hz monitor, between 10 and 30ms.
The image shows in the video is of tvs with 40-50ms input lag which is only 2x worse than a regular monitor, not 10x worse.
There are plenty of TV options below 20ms which is even good for competitive fps gaming. https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag
 
Also, if the person writing the script had ever used one side by side with a monitor they would have found that the difference is only noticeable when playing fast paced competitive games.
When writing documents, editing photos or videos, consuming media, browsing the web, playing casual games, etc. those few ms of input lag make no impact on the usability of the computer.
 
 
3) @ 2:18
Almost all new tvs being released by samsung support freesync, and probably some other brands are doing this too.
It doesn't have a huge variable refreshrate range at the moment but hopefully that improves in the future.
 
 
4) @ 2:30
A TV from a well known brand will have just as good or better colour reproduction than a regular monitor.
If you care about super accurate colours then you should be calibrating your display with a colour calibrator, whether it is a tv or a monitor.
Obviously a professional factory calibrated monitor made for photo editing will be more accurate than an uncalibrated tv/monitor, but just off-the-shelf a monitor or tv will be perfectly for gaming or regular consumer use.
If you colour calibrate the tv then it can even be used for photo editing with very accurate colours (assuming it is a good quality tv and not some cheap chinese model).
 
 
5) @ 3:00
Changing the label to "PC" is no more difficult than enabling game mode for low latency.
Anyone who reads the instruction manual or does a google search can figure this out.
 
 
6) @ 3:10
If you change your computer's resolution to a 21:9 aspect ratio then you can literally have the same experience as with an ultrawide monitor.
In fact, ultrawide on a 40" screen will be even bigger and more immersive than a 34" ultrawide monitor.
Then you also have the advantage of having 16:9 content (the other 99% of everything that exists) at the full 40" size (rather than 27" with black bars on the sides on the ultrawide)
 
 
7) @ 4:05
Local dimming is actually NOT a very desirable feature.
Having deep blacks may be nice for marketing big contrast ratio numbers and for movies, but it is actually bad for a monitor.
It produces a noticeable halo around objects on a dark background, and a "ghosting" or "trailing" effect behind moving objects as the backlight turns off a few milliseconds after the image changes.
Very bad for gaming, and also bad for photo editing since not all blacks will be the same, black areas near white pixels will be less dark.
https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/picture-quality/local-dimming
 
 
 
 
At least they got the part about fake refresh rates and OLED correct...but misinformation like this is why people incorrectly believe tvs are bad for using with computers.
 
There are two cases where a monitor is clearly better than a tv:
1) need high refresh rate for gaming (or don't want to drop resolution to 1080p to play at 120hz on some tvs)
2) need a professional and accurate calibrated display
 
In any other case, a (good quality) tv can certainly be considered instead of a monitor.
Just read the information at https://www.rtings.com/tv to find a tv that has good input lag and good colours.
Once you enable the PC/game mode and plug it into a computer it will literally work exactly the same as a monitor, all the tv and 'smart' features will basically not even exist.
It is a far more immersive experience than multi-monitor setups with bezels all over the place.
 
 
 
One last tip:
If using an nvidia GPU, in the nvidia control panel make sure this is set to full:

And if possible use 10 bit colour.

inb4 the lock lol
 
 
But this, although I think the mobile site is very good fwiw
 
I've seen far worse mobile sites so by far they did a really good job with it.

 
If OP wants a dedicated button to launch the website for the forum on iOS and Android there's a way to do that I believe.
 

yeah no
This has been asked plenty of times on the forum suggestions and it's always the same answer. Frankly I could care-less about an app for a forum.
The mobile website is fine for me. LTT used to support a forum app of some sort, I forget what it was called but it sucked majorly

I hate ruining this idea but :
 
They ain't doing it

I hate the notch. 

Don't use Wish. Scam haven.

First impression, wow. Thank you LTT users for help.

You could probably just sell off the cases alone for a profit.

2x Powermac G5's for $20. Not sure if they work, but will have fun tinkering with them anyways.

Just wanted to put this somewhere so you guys could see it! We are busy using linus Tech Tips videos here In south Africa to teach kids about PC Builds. Love your work guys!

Bought a K63 wireless this week, it's weird going from MX Blues to MX Red switches, buuuuuuut I quite like the feel of the Reds & that they are rather quiet, still not as satisfying as a Blue, but this is a really nice board. It was also a fair bit cheaper than the Razer Black Widow Ultimate (2013 model with MX Blues) when it first came out, like I think the Black Widow Ultimate was pushing over $200 AUD, this was about $150.. The K63 also has a wrist rest which the Black Widow did not. Just have to get used to no numpad & need to get my accuracy up a bit, making fewer mistakes now on day 2 with it though.
