I think it would be a fun solution to bypass stupid energy efficiency regulation to sell a monitor with no backlight, then, also sell a lamp that emits 2000 lumens of "white" light that consists purely of 3 specific nanometer wavelengths for Red, Green, and Blue.

Tech itself isn't really new

What's wrong with it?

At this time if someone is going to have just one computer they should get a well balanced convertible laptop and be done with it.    A laptop that is good and portable but can dock to an EGPU enclosure and peripherials using Thunderbolt for desktop use.   

IF however one really truly needs a desktop computer then building VS buying makes a lot of sense.  Especially if you need anything out of the ordinary.  Want to do virtualization or run Linux build your own.  Want more than 1-2 expansion slots build your own.  OEM's tend to charge way too much for these things.  

I built my system because I wanted to use Linux based scientific applications and also run Windows apps for productivity and gaming at the same time.  With this set up I can do that.  This is possible using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 though but I wanted Linux to be the host OS and not sacrifice performance in those applications. 

Hard to consider what took place if you don't know (and you don't).

As for the appropriateness of the joke, we've always been PG / PG-13. I don't think there's really gonna be an overall change there. A self-deprecating joke about one's own promiscuity/infidelity is well in-bounds, and watching that get turned into trivializing sexual harassment has been bizarre to behold. Projection is for watching movies, not posting in forums.

We understand and accept feedback on LMG videos but there is point where the conversation detracts from the OP.

Quality content for all ages.

PS
Mods, I know this image might fit "Post Linus Memes Here" thread, but I believe it would be out of context there.
Also, I feel like some of the members here need visual aids. 😆

This stinks of "bro culture". Both the clip I watched with the joke, and some of the replies in this thread.
 
My opinion is that it is very poor taste to joke about these kinds of things in general, and especially when you work at a company accused of sexual harassment. It's not a good look and comes across as
1) not taking the situation seriously (maybe they think everyone has forgotten?) and
2) lacking self awareness. 
But I also find the overall humor of LTT to be very cringe and boring as well so maybe I am not the target demographic. "haha they said the same joke for the 100th time xD" "LOL 69, that's the sex number!", "lttstore.com lttstore.com lttstore.com xD". 
 
 
Anyway, I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude. 
 
 
People need to stop thinking that people who complain are some kind of enemy. Complaints oftentimes comes from a place of love. OP is an LTT viewer and raised their opinion on how LTT can improve their content. That's not something you do maliciously. It's the people who don't think any criticism is valid and will always lick the boots of whichever company or person they have an unhealthy obsession with that are the real danger. You might not agree with their opinion, but if that's the case then say that. Don't say "you are not welcome here if you don't like the same things I like, and I like everything X does". 

Timestamped if anyone is interested. I must agree @LinusTech @LMGcommunity @RILEYISMYNAME, thats very poor taste your audience and recent events in consideration.

So you let a sexual harassment joke slip into the TechLinked video on April 3rd... Too soon buds, um rather poor taste. I'll let this one slip as a late April Fools joke, but, do better guys.

My thoughts
It is probably too soon to know what effects this will have on the tech sector.  Thankfully this 7.5 magnitude quake hit Taiwan which has high building standards and an economy that can meet those standards in practice. The buildings being strong enough to not totally collapse likely saved a great many lives.  Compare to the Quake which greatly damaged Por Au Prince Haiti some time ago which was about the same magnitude.  Well-built modern structures stood but a great many did not live in such structures.   
 
Vibration and shaking is probably not good for precision Manufacuring equipment or for things that were in production at that moment.   This likely won't be some big systemic effect.  I really hope it won't be.  I would not be surprised if there weren't some defective parts in the supply chain for a while.

Yeah most likely an earthquake would make that sand undergo liquefaction. Bye bye any ground support.
 
Though TBH most diagrams i've seen of tall tower construction have had the piles tied together at ground level by a slab anyway, the piles provide the support, but the slab distributes it around the building.

Asian countries often don't have zoning systems like US and Canada do, thus many times buildings are built to be disposable rather than repaired because it's cheaper to build, and they don't treat it as an investment.
 
In the case of Taiwan specifically, 50,000 buildings were damaged in 1999 due to lax building code. The building that collapsed "Uranus Building" was built in 1988. There was previously a 1986 7.4 earthquake in the same place.
https://archinect.com/news/article/147653406/taiwan-earthquake-tin-cans-found-as-fillers-may-have-caused-high-rise-to-collapse This is from two months ago.
 
Often buildings (see "tofu dreg projects" in PRC) collapse, or crumble because of corruption in the layers of the project management. When a building suffers catastrophic collapse, its' because something wasn't done right, not done to code, not inspected, made of inappropriate materials, or people leading the project just ran off with the money.
 
When you hear about cost-overruns in big projects, this likely is because the project scope creeped somewhere. Better materials required, things having to be excavated deeper, deeper piles, etc.
 
At any rate, to address the "concrete slab" comment. No. Any building larger than 4 stories has to be pile-driven into bedrock so it doesn't move and doesn't "fall over", this is why "tall skinny" towers are garbage, because they have to drive the piles down so deep and the foundation already has to be extremely big to support the structure.  In cities along the pacific coast, the towers need to have piles driven in order keep them anchored in the wind, and when you start getting into the 50-story heights, you need counter-weight systems to keep them from swaying in the wind.
 
Of course if we stopped making buildings with flat faces , the wind wouldn't be an issue. But people don't seem to want to live in buildings shaped like domes and silos.
