  1. Linus is right about 2025. Android 10 will be available on actually buyable smartphones as late as my replies to LTT videos. Every time I was buying an Android, it was already outdated out of the box and never received major OTA. In December 2018 bought a brand new Samsung running Nougat. Initially there was Oreo update promised, but then cancelled. Oh yeah, promising Oreo update 10 months after Pie release and cancelling an update that would be outdated anyway. Considering other problems such as poor performance, delayed WhatsApp notifications, and no 5GHz WiFi, I told myself "enough" and took a loan to buy iPhone Xʀ. Then I sold a Samsung to my colleague for half the price, his Honor broke and he doesn't like iPhones, so he is happy.

     

    Android sucks and Android 10 won't fix it until it's on all brand new phones in stores which won't happen.

    Built this guy a few days ago...and my spec sheet sounds similar to Linus's build: 4 thread Intel* CPU (albeit Intel's 1st quad core desktop CPU) + 8GB ram (albeit DDR2) with recent high end graphics

     

    Unfortunately this is the build I'm using while I wait for parts (9700KF)

     

    *I'm obligated by company policy to disclose that I'm an Intel employee when I talk about Intel on social media.

    wait what... why dont you just move the files over to the other drive and just let windows be ???

    Emm, because PCs have only one M.2 NVMe and one M.2 SATA?

     

    When upgrading from 960 Evo 250GB to 970 Pro 1TB, I had to boot from HDD, use Veeam Agent to backup 960 Evo, then replace the drives, boot from HDD again and use Veeam Agent to deploy the backup.

    Yeah, Lubuntu sucks. I used it on a laptop. I had Leafpad, Lubuntu's default text editor, erase file content instead of saving it. Now yet another Linux data loss bug.

    The forum uses a library for handling the sounds, and I think one of the things that it does is make the browser preload the notification sound by telling it to play it then stopping it straight away when it's loaded. This then allows the notification sound to work properly later on. I'm not 100% sure about that though, and muting the forum tab ought to fix that. It's strange that your headphones would play white noise after the forum plays a split second of sound though - is that normal?

    Just checked. It happens in Firefox 56, but not in Internet Explorer.

    750w power supply for £20

    I bought 650W power supply for $200. BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 11 (BN251). Less wattage, 8 times more expensive. In LTT tier list it's under "ultra high-end".

    "No dollar wasted"

     

    500$ video card....

     

    Stay stupid LTT vids, I need the laughs

     

    For me $500 video card is no dollar wasted. In December 2017 I bought 1080 Ti blower for $940 and considered myself lucky.

    Who would have thought manipulating a search engines input would result in a specific output?

     

    People do this everyday already by searching for the data they want, I.E "vaccines cause autism" rather than "do vaccines cause autism?".

     

    What you described is called "confirmation bias".

    How is it more complicated? do the web pages that it returns answer the question or are they just irrelevant webpages seeded to insinuate an answer? I bet you if I click on the link of ted cruze that nothing in the wikipedia entry claims he is the zodiak killer.  It is just intentionally false search results.

    And confirmation bias isn't technically false search results. After clicking on the result there is that exact claim you "asked". For example, I search "Bush did 9/11" and get 125000 results where it's written.

     

    You confirmed that the issue described in this topic is that if you click on the link there in nothing that claims so.
