    Kroon reacted to Hunter259 in I Ripped Up My Sponsor’s Check - Israel Design Center Tour 2   
    Alright I've put up with it for years but these last few titles + thumbnails are just absurd. This one might be the worst of three. Subbed since the garage. Sad since this is a good video

    It's more accurate to say that air is a fluid,
    You learn that in the physics topic of fluid dynamics.
    The biggest difference between liquid and gas is the density,
    Liquids are a lot more dense than gas.

    Even worse is that Linus kind of hypocrite. When he speaks about the media he is active in, video, it's piracy but once it's ads on a website he more or less advocate the use of blockers.  For me this cuts both ways, you can't single out one media over another like that.

    Why did you not do this on Linux?  Not only have you been able to do this for several years the installation are much easier.

    too bad the Quest 2 is DOA for me due to the requirement of a Facebook account linked to your Oculus account.

    Kroon got a reaction from HanZie82 in EU to start with a "Digital Euro" within 5 years   
    Yes, we in Sweden have Swish and at least Denmark and Germany have similar systems.  BUT they only work in the specific country.  Digital Euro are not designed to compete with any other currency simply make a homogen system for whole Europe.  A system that you can use online, in physical stores and between two persons (As you can do with swish).
     
    If anything the Digital Euro will compete with pay services like Samsung and Apple have.

    Kroon got a reaction from Padblaze in Linus should stop his $GME "Investment"   
    I did not send any super chat so my opinion do not mean anything here, as with everyone else that did't participate.
     
    BUT
    @Dtx1 Have you considers the consequence of Linus back out? Thing is that Linus will not loose 50k, he get some money from the super chats even if Google take a part of it. He probably will be able to sell his share before total bankrupt so he get some money back there.  But play with idea that he loses 25k in the end.  How much would he loose if he backs out?  It would be a PR nightmare for him and lost trust from the community might even lose him even more money.  While standing by his word he might even gain new subscribers, more sales on LTT store. A win in the long run.
     
    However IF i was one that had sent super chat I would not be disappointed if he actually put the 50K into a charity instead.

    Kroon got a reaction from PeachGr in EU made CPU's? EU signs €145 billion declaration to develop next-gen processors and 2nm technology   
    It will not be X86.  If you read the declaration it clear that the CPU will mainly be for embedded systems:
    Source: https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/document.cfm?doc_id=71912
     
    Exactly what architecture will be used are not decided yet, there 17 different wills in this mess and some of them want EU to develop a completely new architecture.  I cinserly hope they go for something like RISC-V, probably the only way since it suppose to be a free to use.
     
    My guess is that this money will be gone before the research even starts.  To many countries want the money.  Companies like Nokia and Ericssson already approaching the governments.  This will all be a mess.

    Kroon got a reaction from NeuesTestament in You hear that Mr Anderson, that's the sound of inevitability.... US law firm lookining into class action against CDPR   
    CD Projekt RED is traded as OTC in US, so the share in not listed in any US trading markets and is even traded in PLN (Polska Zloty) and not USD.
     
    So my question is how can someone that bought a share in Poland sue the company in US (or any other country for that matter)? I have tried to google for more information but its a wall of information, anyone have a good reliable source of information on this?
     
    Whole thing just feel strange.

    20XX series? I have nu clue, i really never cared about that generation.  10XX series:  Well I know almost all high end EVGA cards have en included bracket so you can chose where you want your connectors, top or rear.  I also know that MSI had one 1080 ti version with rear connections, blower style one.  Had the MSI one for about 3 days before I returned it to the store. Think it was PNY that had 2 models with rear connections. Also know that ASUS had one where the connectors was angled 45 degrees so that was also an option.  Thing is that there is a A LOT of different 1080 models so it's really hard to find the exact model I'm looking for.
     
    I have asked on the local building forum for the exact model names so I might get back if you want to.  Another thing that was said on that forum surprised me, some of the really strange models (not only rear connections but really strange/fun cards) are EU and/or Asia only.  It's against EU laws for a supplier, like nVidia, to demand or set rules for how their product are sold.

    Kroon got a reaction from Sir.gg in Okay Mark… the Quest 2 is a GREAT value…   
    I was not reacting much over the fact that is is a sponsored review, it happens.  But I'm REALLY disjointed in how Linus last night on WAN show contentiously claimed that this is not a review.
     
    The sole definition of a product review:
    a report in a newspaper, magazine, or programme in which an expert gives an opinion about a product or compares various similar products.
    Source: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/product-review
     
    So per definition this is a review, the title it self "Quest 2 is a GREAT value" is a review.  So why this defensive behaviour from Linus?  There is no question, there is no way Linus don't know this is a review.  And again I'm not that concern over that the fact that is a sponsored review but Linus straight out lying about it just makes me sad and part of the trust he have built up over the years are gone.
