    Lol, we make tiny chips that contain billions of transistors on nanometer scale and people think applying some liquid metal on a 1x1cm chip is impossible feat for a machine. LMAO

    Gamers Nexus I think had something comparing ram speeds on 1st Gen ryzen and the difference was about 5 fps from 2133 to 3200

    Beshington reacted to evo4ever in BSOD - CPU or GPU to blame?   
    Maybe I should revert my CPU back to stock speed and test the GPU core and memory one by one. Once stable move over to my CPU, or do it the other way round?

    Beshington reacted to emosun in BSOD - CPU or GPU to blame?   
    so you're getting a bsod but aren't going to turn off the overclock

    and for testing you ran a cpu stress test that lasts for a few seconds so surely it must be stable

    Fullscreen owns 0% of Linus Media Group.
     
    You seem to be mixing up "claimed by" with "owned by."
     
    Being "claimed" by a network means that they offer services to you in exchange for the ability to include your total views, monthly views, and subscribers in their "network totals" that they use to pitch to advertisers (eg. "our network has over 50,000 channels in a variety of verticals and serves over 1.5 billion views per month to 50 million YouTube subscribers"). Sometimes this includes a fee in the form of a % of your earnings on YouTube, other times it does not, just depends on the kind of contract you have.
     
    I can't go into detail due to NDA, but our contract with Fullscreen is very favorable for us and provides some benefits with very few drawbacks. At this point it would be entirely possible for us to sustain as an "indie" channel, but going independent would provide very little or no added value compared to being a "managed" channel.
     
    For us it's all about keeping doors open and maintaining our agility, so utilizing an MCN while also building out an extremely capable internal team is the current approach.

    Beshington reacted to Pro-Consumer in Linus misses the mark on why iOS / Apple is not as good as Android   
    I've been watching the Linus Tech Tips channel for a while now, and Linus's recent video on why Android is better than Apple, misses the mark on some of the key reasons Apple still sucks (I've been using iOS / Android both since 2010).
     
    Here are the top reasons that Linus missed (and just about EVERY tech reviewer...why this is, is a mystery):
     
    I)  Apple greed:   Apple's greed has pushed consumers to lose some abilities to do things that you can do on Android or PC:
     
    You can't buy digital content natively on iOS apps - Amazon, Google Play, VUDU, Audible, etc...   I don't know how Apple can get away with their onerous terms of charging 30% for every sale via an app that you must use on iOS unless you root / jailbreak your iOS device (hard to do).  I mean, imagine if Microsoft back in the 90's started forcing every website and program to pay 30% to MS just for the privilege of you being able to buy content from a Windows device. Imagine how quickly this would be shut down.  How can Apple get away with this monopolistic behavior and have the EU and other countries just sit idly by??  

    This breaks all common sense and I'm bewildered that Apple, the richest corporation in manking history, can get away with it.
      Apple has never supported SD cards, user replaceable batteries, all anti-consumer.  Then they remove the headphone jack (one of my biggest pet peeves), and stick with lightning cable while the entire industry used microUSB and now has moved to USB-C.  Sucking the consumers dry of money for every penny they are worth.  Yes, Apple claims to care about privacy and not selling their users "privacy" for profit, but they apparently have sold their customers down the river for profit in just about everything else. (you did mention this...kudos)

    Make no mistake, your pocketbook is Apple's greatest goal, and their corporate marketing of caring about your privacy is about as hollow as it gets.  
    II) Just plain junky iOS functionality:
    My iOS contacts are an absolute mess.  I use my iOS devices for work accounts and personal accounts. However, because of the way the contacts app works in iOS, there is no easy to way to see, or designate which account I am creating a contact for.  (In Android, you can designate which account you're creating a contact for, simple field where you select and choose).  In iOS, my work contacts are in my personal accounts, and my personal contacts are in my work accounts.  This is because you can only select which default account to create contacts to, and it's a huge pain to change that every time you create a contact, so as a results my contacts are jumbled everywhere.  This could be  a huge privacy issue as I put my personal contacts in my work email accounts, and work email contacts in my personal accounts.  Insane.
      The native calendar app is a huge ball of turd.  I had a blackberry before iOS, and the blackberry calendar was miles ahead of iOS calendar - I could set an appointment to "private", share my calendar, forward meeting invites to other folks.  The iOS calendar is such a limited POS I'm shocked no one calls this out as a huge weakness.
      Linus mentioned this, but it's a huge pain - I like to set Google Maps as my default navigation app, EVERY time.  How Apple gets away with not giving this option to consumers, and yet Microsoft was sued and taken to task by the EU and other governments for not allowing defaults for browsers and other apps... mind blowing.  How does Apple do a mind-distortion field with governments and get away with this?
      File system limitations - I store important and sensitive files like my password KeePass files natively on my Android devices and Windows devices.  I do not want to put my KeePass files on any cloud service.  And yet Apple doesn't allow you to do this. You must put your most sensitive files on a cloud service to allow iOS to access those files.  Yes, Apple cares about your privacy....  /sarcasm
      The settings app in iOS is a huge mess.  You may have an insanely huge list of apps settings to scroll to under the settings app, and each app may or may not have its own settings area with some of the same settings, or not.  Android's settings makes a lot more sense, just like how Windows use to do it - allowing each app to have its own settings that you don't have to go to control panel for every time to change something.  This is basic UI design, and yet Apple seems to not give a flying leap about usability.  This along with the lack of universal back button (yes you mentioned this) is huge.
      These are basic, obvious major problems with Apple / iOS, and yet I've never seen any tech reviewer mention this at all.  What are you all smoking??  Forget customization and all the other stuff, this is serious stuff that affects most IOS users every day.  And yet no one acknowledges the pink elephant in the room.
     
    Linus needs to do better, be better informed, and let the public know what's really wrong with IOS if they're going to put such a video out.
