BRiteBak got a reaction from Tech_Dreamer in Jackfly Precision Screwdriver from DD4.com
Hi all I recently purchased this screwdriver set from dd4.com and was impressed with this budget option
I purchased it from here: http://www.dd4.com/goods/New-6089A-45-in-1-Precision-Torx-Screwdriver-Cell-Phone-Repair-Tool-Set-Tweezer-Mobile-Phone-Tool-Kit_54270.html
and had it arrive in about 2 weeks to my door in Aus. I have used it a few times now and have found it to be of good quality
It offers a lower end option to the ifixit pro tool kit Linus uses and performs essentially the same functions at a fraction of the cost.
Overall if you are not ready to make the investment of buying a full size professional kit and have a project you are working on I would recommend this kit as a great starting point to build upon.

We took a look at the Obutto Revolution from a productivity standpoint a few weeks ago... But does it provide an amazing gaming experience as well?

*coughs loudly*

In all seriousness I do really like the cube case concept and the more options I have the better

BRiteBak reacted to LinusTech in LG G3 Review and.... TWENTY-FIVE Phone Giveaway?!
NCIX: n/a
Amazon: http://georiot.co/30oN
The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
One entry per household.
The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!
WINNERS:

BRiteBak reacted to That Norwegian Guy in Linus takes the final step in abandoning his original audience.
I know this will draw hate as is common on criticism, keep in mind this is my opinion and I'm sure Linus will do fine when shifting his content on to a different demographic altogether. Afterall, smartphones and general consumer gadgets are popular watching and I'm sure many of Linus' new audience is here and ready to defend him. But this is constructive criticism, so I would appreciate the same gesture in return.
Having been watching LTT for a long time, it has gone increasingly downhill over a long period of time for me:
Linus prioritizing boutique video quality sacrificing all quantity and depth of insight. We're down to less than a video a day, and the ones we get are usually shorter and less opinionated/ insightful. Forgetting who the audience is with an increasing number of consumer gadgets, (seriously, a wi-fi plant humidifier??) mobile phones, and other borderline tech of fringe interest to PC enthusiasts, even further lowering the quantity of content desired. Getting on the same release bandwagon as all. the. other. tech. channels. Every video with a product I want to watch either doesn't exist at all or is covered by OC3D, Linus, TekSyndicate, TastyPC, SWEclockers and HardwareCanucks ALL AT ONCE. Random WAN show guests that I very often find to be irrelevant and annoying. Getting that weird uncomfortable YouTube "buddy club" vibe that just kind of smells bad to me. Josh from Fractal being an exception. Why go to PAX? There are hundreds of YouTube channels doing PAX. Just why? Where are all the hidden gems in PC hardware? Have Linus completely abandoned reaching out to manufacturers for samples of interesting new coolers, cases, NAS boxes, you name it? It just seems Linus is more interested in autonomy, getting all the same stuff as everyone else, and losing touch with the market. It used to be about consumer enlightenment, showcasing stuff you might not have heard of. Remember the Thermaltake Tt eSports BAG? That kind of thing. I bought one because of Linus. What has Linus shown me in the past 6 months that I wanted to buy afterwards? Absolutely nothing, I'm afraid.
But the final step that is probably going to make me unsubscribe, is not going to Computex. Seriously, that is gutting. That is a stone-cold knife in the back to the original audience of the channel, to whom Computex is probably the highlight of the entire year, after the huge thrill of covering it last year. I could forgive anything from Linus but not that.
It makes me sad, as Linus Tech Tips has been my very favourite channel for years, but now it is my least favourite of all my subscriptions.
My 2 rubel, anyway.

For sure! if it is 1080p then of course, the 880m is equivalent to a desktop gtx 770

They usually are mate yes. TBH? maybe this is for the best. I mean, can't leave the GPU unmodded really can I? hehe.
Not much happening ATM. Though I do have some very, very exciting news.
I'm currently in talks with a modding legend over custom painting the front plate. I won't say who yet but yeah, very exciting stuff.
