My suggestion is to make another PSU video and judge the safety of a PSUs on compliance and safety agencies certifications and ratings instead of the weight of a PSU.You do know there is some viewer right now holding two PSUs thinking the lighter one will explode into a fireball..

I don't think this was a fair DIY comparison because you didn't know how to design a speaker. nothing was said about the crossover design which leads me to believe. There are many things to consider than tuning the port. For example the distance between drivers causes a delay between which is a 180 phase shift at specific frequency ranges. for example the wavelength of 1500hz sound is about 9 inches. That means if you have two drivers 9 inches apart, by the time the pressure wave of one driver reaches the other driver, the other driver is moving back causing negative pressure which means the 1500hz tone cancels out. This also happens at the harmonics of 1500hz causing a comb filtering affect. you have to design the crossover and width between the drivers so it gets filtered out. There is baffle step loss, standing waves in the enclosure to also consider. You should have used a known good DIY design to be a fair comparisons. one of the popular ones is Paul Carmody's designs. https://sites.google.com/site/undefinition/diy. also dayton makes complementary passive radiators to those drivers. they also make a bluetooth amp with built-in DSP . LG probably also uses a DSP to tune the speaker.

I saw the Linux episode the other day. There is no doubt Linux is the best as server and embedded but as a desktop it isn't quite there yet ( the last time I checked). I have worked on linux and unix servers every working day for over 10 years and occasionally a Linux desktop during that time. There always some people saying to use linux as a desktop and newer more polished distros with the aim for use as a desktop are created everyday. I think LTT can use there staff as a panel to review linux desktop distros like they did for the keyboard switches. All distos can be reconfigured to look like each other or customized to meet everyone's perfect idea of a desktop but most people wont invest that effort, so the review should be based on out-of-the-box configuration. The criteria that I would like to see reviewed are. Aesthetics - look and feel - we spend all day on our desktops why should we look at ugliness all day Comfort - choice of font, dithered gui elements and fonts, look and scale of icons, if animations add comfort or are annoying Layout - do docks and panels add to easy-of-use or get in the way, are window frames to ornate and use up screen real estate or too sparse ... Ease of use - there are window managers with great layout options but require using keyboard commands, can you hot plug usb thumb drives and common accessories Organization - can you find an application or feature quickly. Does it make sense how it is organized so if something new is added you know how to find it whether it is settings, applications, or docs, downloads, and media files, recent files? Applications offered out of the box - tools and accessories like file browser , web browser, media player - does it give you watered down over simplified applications, does it give you too many applications that most wont use or 5 different terminal applications that do the same thing. Ease of customization - can it be customized to benefit the above criteria with a few simple steps Unique feature out of the box - it benefits the above criteria How does it compare to windows and macOS I think we all want to see linux desktop compete with windows and macOS. I think a episode for each distro since this space is always evolving it could be an on going series. I would create a youtube channel for this myself but I think it would be best if distros were reviewed by a panel instead of just my opinion. LTT has it's staff and viewer that can provide that panel. This series could also drive the Linux community/industry to work towards making a Linux desktop that can compete or exceed Windows and macOS by giving them criteria to drive and innovate to.

It has been 6 days since I have signed up for shadow and it is still not activated. When I called support I was told it could take up to 5 days. Then I got an email stating it could take up to 10 days and to contact them after 15days if not setup. In the mean time I setup an AWS g3s.xlarge (thier least expensive) and installed parsec. I was able to get GTA V working. I didn't get around to testing with metics but it seemed playable .

has anyone got an activated "shadow". I signed up for a subscription yesterday. It was not immediately activated. My expectation which should not be different than others is the service would be active immediately since all the VPS services I have subscribed to have be activated immediately. This is because there is a whole dev-ops industry that provides automated processes for deployment (puppet, chef, ansible...) and to not have that in a XaaS solution is not a good idea. Their customer service had responded to me about 8 hours later with an ETA of 10 days to get an activation and to contact them after 15 days if it is still not active. I have paid for a 30 day subscription. When I talked to them on the phone their excuse was the volume of new subscriptions. So if they don't have the resources to support an influx of new subscriptions, and they don't have industry standard automation to support this scaling, then why did they invite Linus to their office for him to do a piece on it? Combine this with the deception of not immediate activation, and it seems like a scam to get people moneys and use the subscriptions metric to get VC buy in to build up. This has the same pattern as a failed kickstarter. My kids are into console gaming and want to get into PC gaming. I don't have the time and space to setup gaming rigs and this hosted VDI with a GPU solution is perfect , and just in time to use with their surfaces they are getting for xmas. But for now they will just have to hold on to my $15 while I spend my money elsewhere.

I signed up and payed for a subscription about 3 and a half hours ago. When I try to log in with their client on PC or android I get "Your Shadow is not activated yet" . I have successful verified my email address with them. I have contacted support and received automated emails verifying my request with broken links in it. I replied to the emails , but got no response. Has anyone else had the same experience? How long does it take to get a "Shadow" to activate? or for someone to respond? what good is IaaS or PaaS if the "S" doesnt work
