    Quickstrike got a reaction from Madpaatch in About WAN Show   
    WAN is pretty much where Linus starts the Shiz. His lack of filters and poor reflection on sensitive subjects makes for a fantastic fuel for controversy.

    If I were the CEO, I would suspend WAN until my Star has had some major training on multiples subject or I would put an adult with a water spray in charge.

    If i was in their shoes I would ONLY have a WAN show when I had everyone on the same page (as much as that is even possible). The WAN show isn't a place for them to hammer out their path forward or to share with us. That would be simply stupid.

    Now that tech Jesus has called them out LTT went "oh sh!t" but it's been brewing for a long time.
    So first, as my mandatory joke, let me say this : Thanks Steeve!

    This is my take a software dev, process analyst with 30 years in growing in medium to large organizations :

    TLDR: LMG grew way too fast with novice management and it shows. It's been showing for the last two years.

    Now some thoughts:
    - Even with process review, the team reaching maturity will take time. That means team members senior should be more involved in Q.C.
    - Slowing the pace is a good idea but setting a sustainable pace is a better one.
    - There need to be an attitude adjustment in the team. This includes
       - Knowing when to joke and not to joke (the comments here speak for themselves)
       - Knowing when not to plug sponsors and Ltt store plug (the volume is just plain annoying and completely inappropriate in this video) 
       - Awareness this isn't just the latest crisis but an existential crisis. 
       - Some culture change in the writing room might be in order. 
       - Some humility and some therapy. Linus, especially on WAN show has been arrogant and his ego needs some reigning in. 
       - Understanding the road to Hell is paved with good intentions
       - Accepting LMG will take a financial hit while they get the house in order.

    Beyond all this, they need to identify the root cause(s). Processes fail for a lot of reason. My primary suspect lack of cohesive management (managing the trees instead of the forest). Not just from Linus but his very young and very green team. The best example I got is his lack of formal training and the way he compensate in it. I don't remember the quote (was on WAN) be he learns what he needs to and leave the rests. The problem is what he leaves and what he doesn't know that he doesn't know. he new will help but there will need to be some serious adjustments and Linus may well push back.

    Don't get me wrong, I admire LTT: their passion and dedication to employees is great. But pressing blood from a stone while giving it free snacks is still pressing blood from a stone.

    There need to be a new dedication to the product.
    The new CEO is a good move but it comes a little late. What I sense is a totally organic organization that needs some serious restructuring and adjustment of its values and needs to slow down.

    LTT isn't a startup anymore, so startup mentality needs to go and some outside blood is sorely needed.

    I'm curious if anyone has feedback on Elegoo 3d PLA filament.

    They have a nice bundle of 8 KG for 109 USD and I'm wondering if anyone know the shipping rate to Canada. Sub 20$ CAD per kilo sounds just too good to be true.

    Finding a Skylake motherboard is by far the most complicated aspect of this. Try to find a used one on FB marketplace.
    You are looking far a Socket LGA 1155 1st gen.

    Get a good but cheap case like a Phanteks P300A
    A 650 W PSU (Again maybe used)
    A 1TB  SSD  (my go to is WD blues)

    The rest is up to you.
    Don't expect stellar performance with that GPU/CPU but it will run. Don't expect tha PC to last. 900 series GPU are Dying left and right.

    Good luck!

    Quickstrike reacted to SpookyCitrus in Idk what to do. Help someone pls.   
    Take it to a professional that does soldering and see if they can solder it back on. Otherwise you're out of luck. Also with some laptops the lid needs to be completely closed in order for an external display to work so if you have the laptop open when you're trying to use an external monitor that's probably why it isn't showing up. If it is closed then it's possible the sensor is controlled through the ribbon cable that is broken. If that's the case it's going to be tricky/near impossible to get it working again without fixing the motherboard ribbon header.

    Quickstrike reacted to NF-A12x25 in Looking to upgrade a work PC however I have questions regarding memory clearance.   
    either get a Deepcool AK620 (they’re on sale) or wait for the d15 refresh to come out sometime in q1 2023. The d15 is a horrible buy currently. Otherwise the rest of your parts seem fine. Would be better to run a 420mm AIO (liquid freezer ii) for your CPU if it fits in ur case but that’s not 100% necessary, the 13900K just runs very very hot. You will definitely want a Thermalright 12th/13th gen CPU retention bracket for $10 on ebay.

    Hey @Quickstrike @Radium_Angel I want to let you know that since I've change the PSU from  750W to 1000W I have not had any blue screens since the last 48H.

    Big THANK YOU to you guys and this community! 

    I will further update this thread if there is any other situations in the future.
    Here's a small benchmark I did with the the two programs you offered on top. (Which shows that I need a new cooling solution)

    Quickstrike got a reaction from SignatureSigner in CPU/MoBo Advice Pulling 3080ti out of virtualization box to build a dedicated gaming PC. Help me spend my money!   
    You gotta choose.
    Old DDR4 and no upgrade path but low price, newer ddr5, overpriced but will last for a few gen.
    Right now Ryzen 7000 looks a little less like a good value but that could change long term. Historically AMD supported AM4 for almost 6 years. Intel is not in the habit of supporting an architecture for half that long.

    So you go go team blue and LGA 1700 with what could be a shorter lived socket but the best price to performance in a modern socket or Go AM5, quite steep ATM but with a Mobo /Ram that could last you for a few generation.

    3rd choice is save a buck and go with AM4. You can probably get second hand Mobo and RAM (not a problem if you get quality) then you'll only have to splurge on a 5800X3D.

    Considering you have the 3080Ti on hand, you can afford all 3.

    Just get a good cooler and a well ventilated case if you get 13th gen or AM5.

    Quickstrike got a reaction from RedLeafJorra in Trying to build first pc   
    Flashy and inexpensive case and you might regret buying it.

    Barely any space between the panel and the backplate and the drive bays in the way of longer PSU.

    Phanteks (P300a mesh) and Cooler master (TDF300 mesh) have solid budget entries with much better features and quality of life.
    Slightly more expensive but huge value, especially since it's your first build

    The rest is fine. As stated, 3060Ti might be a bad value unless you want/need Ray tracing.
    You are on the lower end on 1440P gaming, might be better for you to get a better 1080P pannel and use the money left in your rig to get more storage space.
