I asked an AI to make a picture of Linus at the world cup and it even got the sponsor right by accident:

How did you already finish a 25 minute video that came out 10 minutes ago?

I want Yvonne vs. Lew from Unboxed Therapy. Or Dennis vs. anyone Found the stream finally:

Hello All I am struggling a bit with finding the right monitor for my needs. I would like to upgrade to an ultrawide monitor for work and gaming so I'm looking for a well balanced product: - 800$ budget - 1440p capable - I'm not particularly sensitive to response times but getting something above 60Hz would be nice. I was shooting for something in the 100Hz range. - Being able to easily switch between my PC (gaming) and my laptop (work) would be a plus. Being able to connect and charge my laptop via USB C sounds intriguing but isn't supported by many products yet. - I am a bit overwhelmed by the many things to factor in for a good picture in - let's say movies. I like good black levels and natural colors that aren't oversaturated but I have no idea whether I'd be able to distinguish between the different contrast ratio or color accuracy of moden panels. - A camera for online meetings would be a plus I found this monitor during my research but I haven't seen much reviews for Philips monitors so I thought I'd ask you guys: 346P1CRH It seems to be an upcoming upgrade from this model that is much more affordable than comparable IPS panels: 346B1C Do you see any red flags with buying this instead of a much more expensive LG for example? Linus seems to focus more on extremely good response times etc. but I don't think I'd even be able to distinguish between 1ms and 5ms since I am not able to see a big difference from anything faster than 60 FPS for example. Thank you for your thoughts on this! restless

Yes, it sounds like you'd profit from an upgrade. I don't know much about RAM usage in modern AAA titles but the thing with RAM is, that it doesn't have a huge impact until you hit the threshold. As soon as you need more RAM than you have, you have a very noticeable effect. It's comparable to the size of a car. Usually, it doesn't matter so much how big your car is but as soon as you don't have enough space for everybody and their luggage you have a big impact.

Anthony's on fire at the moment. Can't we just call them RTX 2065 and RTX 2075?

I don't know anything about your monitor but as a general rule, I'd look up what people pay for the same or a similar model on ebay and round down from there.

Hi guys Thanks for your feedback. However, I got a bit triggered by the CPU bottlenecking comments. To me, it often seems like gamers love to casually argue that CPU's will bottleneck with modern GPUs, so I did some digging and found this video by JayzTwoCents: He shows how there is very little bottlenecking with a GTX 1080 and a Pentium G4560 @ 1080p, while Linus shows the same (0-11 FPS difference) with a GTX 1060 and a Ryzen 3 1300X @ 1080p Edit: Here a test with my 3770K and a GTX 1070. Also, almost no bottlenecking: So I still don't really understand why I should upgrade my CPU socket (which would cost me more than a used 1080) just for a minor performance difference. I will happily look into any comparable real life scenario benchmarks if you have any at hand. (I am not talking about CPU-bound applications. Of course there would be bottlenecking). That said, I understood from your comments that a 1080 is overpowered for playing at 1080p, so I might just get a new GTX980 and upgrade my rig as soon as I run in any issues. For the monitor, I tweaked my settings a bit and I'm quiet happy with the colors now. I'll still compare it with a better monitor when I get the chance.

I never ran in any CPU issues yet so my plan was to upgrade the GPU first because my 980 keeps crashing (although I would be perfectly fine with a working 980...). I am aware that I'd run into a CPU bottleneck, but that way I could postpone upgrading my mainboard until I really need more CPU power... I will try to get my eyes on some 1440p panels (and see if I can see the higher refresh rate as well). Too bad it's difficult to compare without bringing my old monitor with me ?

Hi there I don't use my rig every day. I just watch a movie sometimes or play a game if I find one that excites me (currently it's the Witcher 3). I'm not crazy about FPS, screen resolution or response time. I'm happy with 1080p and 30 FPS and I don't think I could even tell if the response time is kinda bad as long as it's not terrible. Thus, I like to upgrade my PC iteratively and only if I really need to. My current specs are as follows: However, my GTX 980 used to be called dead. I got it from a friend and I managed to revive it but it crashes as soon as it needs to get some harder work done so I'm thinking about getting a new GPU (Something in the realms from a 1080 to a 2070). My monitor is even older than the rest of my rig. It is a Asus VK266H (1920x1200, 60Hz, contrast 20'000:1, 16,7M colors). I'm fine with it but I sometimes feel like the blacks don't really look black and the colors look a bit washed out, but I don't know much about monitors and I don't have anything to compare it with but the OLED screen of my S10 (that looks way better obviously). My question is: When do you think it's time to upgrade a monitor? Does my monitor effectively decrease my experience when watching a movie or play the next AAA game or do I just miss out on the pixel density of 4K? I understand this is a very subjective topic but I'm interested what you guys think. - restless

Alright. However, my point is that one needs to be extremely cautious with such a technology and I wouldn't trust anybody once they want to introduce this on a bigger scale. Neither a government nor an AI. As the OP mentioned, it reminds me of the black mirror episode nosedive.

What if you're wrongly accused of having an open debt and you can't get to work because public transport is blocked now? Welcome to the rabbit hole.

For me it's mainly because of customization. I want to be able to decide how the on-screen keyboard reacts, how long it shows me notifications, which ones I wanna see and how to group them. Message previews and quick responses work so much better on Android and if there's something that I can't customize, I can probably install an app for that. I have an iPhone at the moment because it's my business phone and it's grinding my gears. I feel like it's a phone for users with too much time on their hands. Everything seems to take a second or a click more (Although, there are a some exceptions that just took me a while to get used to the iOS way of doing things). I don't remember exactly, but I think I just customized all these values within the first few days after buying a new Android. Another reason is multi-tasking. I like to do google research, watch a Youtube video and answer a Whatsapp at the same time - this doesn't always work perfectly on Android but multi-tasking is not really possible on other mobile operating systems at all. And last but not least: I want my phone to be versatile. I am willing to spend more money for a good accessory or gadget if I think it is worth it but ONLY if it works with all my (and if relevant with my friend's) devices. Buying something that only works properly with other devices from the same brand is a deal-braker to me.

5000 US$ sounds reasonable for a month in Singapore. Electronic parts can be a very misleading way to measure cost of living. You should be able to buy electronics cheaper online. The weather in Singapore is usually hot and humid but you get unexpected rainstorms sometimes. If you're experimental with food, you'll be very happy. You can find everything from western to Chinese cuisine. In this case I'd recommend you to go to smaller local places and markets. If you don't like exotic food choices or you need a break from Chinese food, you'll spend your time in the more expensive neighborhoods, so what you spend on food depends a lot on where you go. I would definitely recommend to spend some time in Malaysia as well. You can even go over the border to Johor Bahru just to eat there and visit the markets. Edit: Oh and have fun trying Durian. It's an extremely tasty food according to the locals (According to me it tastes like bin and you'll never get the smell out of a room anymore if you opened a Durian there.

I think Nvidia makes the model number sound less elite on purpose. They could name them RTX 2060 and GTX 2060 which would imply that there is only a minor difference BUT they don't want anybody to buy a 1660Ti instead of a RTX 2060. For this reason they apply a shitty model number, so that only potential buyers, that are willing to do some extra research to get a better bang for the buck, would actually consider it. The customer that just walks in the store will get a RTX TWO THOUSAND series card.
