  1. Maybe it's just the fact we're blessed with cheap domestic shipping in the UK. For example, I can send a 90x60x60cm package weighing 10kg for less than £6, and a sub 2kg package costs about £3. Even sending internationally from the UK is reasonable, to the point where the difference between sending something like the screwdriver from the UK to Canada is on par with what LTT charge for domestic shipping in Canada.
  2. Didn't they hire a full time events coordinator exactly for that reason?
  3. Even accounting for the Amazon fees and LTT having to ship the screwdriver to Amazon, it's still $5 USD cheaper to import it from Amazon US than to order it directly from LTT Store if you're in the UK, presumably because of the extortionate costs they pay for shipping! In fact, what makes me laugh is the fact LTT charge $10 USD to ship within Canada, and it would only cost me about $15 USD to ship the screwdriver from the UK to Canada, and it's essentially the same to ship from the UK to the US as LTT charge from Canada. I know that doesn't include the handling part, but it really does put into perspective the costs on that side of the pond!
  4. I'm personally dreading the next WAN show, although I guess Linus might actually be banned from 'hot takes' at this point, and the show will be on a 30 second delay to allow for Dan to cut the show if he goes off the rails! I'm going to take a guess and say it will be the most profitable show ever in terms of merch messages when all the fan boys buy crap they don't need to 'support' LMG. Merch messages will also be intolerable, and probably unbroadcastable, either because they are bad for LMG or they're LMG fanboys going on about how bad GN are.
  5. Once again I made it about a third of the way through the video before I had to turn it off, I don't know whether it's the need to CONSTANTLY SHOUT EVERYTHING AT ME or the fact it's so repetitive (there's no need to repeat the name of the screwdriver 69 times in the space of a minute), but I'd rather shove an LTT screwdriver deep into my ear canal than sit through it! Having said that, I still think a screwdriver is a very subjective thing that you need to try out in person before committing to, some of the most comfortable screwdrivers I've ever used have been cheap supermarket own brand ones, and the more expensive drivers I haven't been able to grip!
  6. I personally use the WIndows Mail app all the time, it's simple and it just works! Haven't tried the new Outlook app yet, but as long as they don't add any advanced features that always manage to ruin everything, I'll be happy!
  7. I absolutely hate clean cars, they look like they've never been driven!
  8. Tools are meant to be used, but I guess most of the people buying the screwdriver are just LTT fanboys rather than people who actually use their tools. I got a new socket set for the car, the immaculate chrome plating was scuffed within seconds of actually using it for what it's designed. I bought myself a new impact driver, and within the first hour it already had scratches and chips all over it, and from that point onwards I didn't have to care about it anymore!
  9. Since I switched to using an elasticated 'knitted' style belt where you can just stick the pointy thing through anywhere on the belt, I don't think i could go back to a 'standard' belt. Having it stretchy means it's super comfortable when I'm standing and sitting (something which I've never found with standard belts), and being able to infinitely adjust it means I don't end up with the inevitable position of being in-between hole sizes
  10. Given the 'simple' branding of other products such as 'Backpack' and 'Screwdriver', would it not make more sense to just call them 'Cable Organisers'
  11. The world is already too AmericaniSed, we can't let them take over our keyboards as well. I won't let that happen!
  12. To give Apple the benefit of the doubt here, maybe they had to rebuild the calibration system to allow users to do it by themselves, and having to call up to was a necessary stop-gap to allow the program to be rolled out earlier.... or maybe not lol
  13. I think AMD has Intel beat for the efficiency even in the laptop space. I did look into doing something like that, but the price came out quite a bit more even without the RAM and SSD.
  14. Ah, I probably should have specified a numpad is a must. I'm unfortunate enough to spend a significant amount of time in excel!
  15. I'm in the market for a mini PC to replace my laptop which has been serving as my main desktop for over a year now. I don't need anything too powerful, but I do the odd bit of video editing for work otherwise I would have just gone for something really low spec and cheap! I'm looking at a Mini PC as I don't really want to take up much space, and since getting my SteamDeck I've done literally zero gaming on my gaming laptop! I've narrowed it down to a TRIGKEY Ryzen 7 5800H with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD for £350, or a MINIS FORUM EliteMini TH80 i7-11800H with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for £360, so spec wise they're nigh on identical. I know the R7 and i7 trade blows in benchmarks, so really it would be down to personal preference Both are more powerful than the 9750H in my current laptop, but obviously won't even come close to the RTX 2060 (not that it gets much use). I know Resolve has issues on my 4300U laptop so if it's the same with the 'newer' Ryzen chips then I'd be more likely to swing for Intel. Or, is there something I'm completely missing? Am I wasting my money? Are there better options for around the same price (that I can get from a reputable retailer like Amazon)
