When did LTT say their superchat was broken? I notice others here are saying it hasn't worked for months, even though LTT could easily contact someone at Youtube to tell them its broken. And I'm guessing LTT doesn't care enough that their superchat box is broken.

Months ago, before merch messages were ever made super chats were broken, thats what spurred on the idea to create merch messages. People were sending messages and they werent showing up in the dash board, and this was before they had a producer so there was just no way they could just catch the messages on the fly, especially at the speed youtube chat used to move at (not sure if its still blazing fast, I watch on floatplane now). But anyways that was the problem, they told youtube they were broken and they get ignored over and over again, or told its fixed and it wasnt.

I know I am in the minority but I hate this move. And In hate any connector that puts the most fragile part of the port into the device as opposed to the cable. The USB-C most fragile part of the connection is the center divider in the device, just like how it was on micro USB, the most fragile part of the lightning port is the actual cable end itself. Cables are cheap to replace, ports on phones arent. I get the technological advantage of USB-C but this is counter productive as a way to keep ewaste down IMO.

So Im not gonna pretend to be an expert on PC power supplies, but I have worked in Car Audio/ accessory installations for over 20 years and as soon as I saw that new connector I was concerned. Ive seen way to many instances of damage caused from under specing power wire ran to amplifiers in cars that have caused melted fuseholders as well as melted wire or other damage to vehicles through negligence. This connector seemed to scream similar outcomes to me. As I said I am no expert but I am definitely gonna watch this with interest

So where does the money for the donation come from?

even if you do order it  it will never  arrive

You need to chill out. Its been quite sometime since ive seen a drama queen at your level. Your messages in the backpack thread scream "entitled child that cant handle real life". I dunno if you are having personal problems in your real life and you are just directing that energy into this site or if you are just an entitled prick but either way you arent contributing anything constructive. 

As for the knife based on what he said on WAN  it certainly sounds like they are coming back, which is good as I would like to get one next time I do an order.

According to the un-unlaunched WAN Show, they should start shipping at the end of October.

Oh cool, I missed that update.

Depends what you get. To me you can't beat their ratchets. I have multiple brands and always grab my snap ons. Combo wrenches, same thing. They feel great in the hands and the flank drive teeth are great. Sockets, meh. I use Taiwan made sockets every day. I don't grab my snap on sockets unless I am dealing with a rounded bolt as a last effort attempt to save it before hammering on a socket. Their screwdrivers are great. I like their shape combined with the rubberized grip. Plus they feature the "flank drive" grooves on phillips head drivers.

 

I haven't been able to use the LTT driver much at work this week other than a few door panels and some small interior things. Been kinda slow this weeks for screw related stuff. So far its up there with my favorite hand tools in my box. Need to give it more work before an actual review.

Sounds like you are doing similar work to me, I cant wait till I get my screwdriver to put it up against my Snap-On ones. I watched the reviews on the LTT one but I definitely wanna do my own side by side in my daily job

I would if I thought they worked well. I dont care about the security risks involved with them, in general its not ever something Im overly concerned with. The extent of my online protection is using real passwords of random numbers and letters and symbols but besides that I dont really pay much attention to it.

I currently run a Hisense 100l5G as I live in a basement suit and 100 inch was the biggest I can fit. Its fantastic for everything EXCEPT I think there is a bit to much latency for gaming if its something like a fps. I need to game some more on it to see if its actually a hardware problem or if I am just trash lol, its still new to me and Im really out of practice. With that being said now that I have this thing I would never go back to a 65-75 like I had before. The picture quality isnt as good as an OLED obviously but its overall pretty fantastic and I love the big screen for movies and sports.

Did you create the raid in the bios or windows? 

Bios

Thanks for your responses. I might just leave the old platform running for the time being than, dont really wanna go buy an external drive just to back this up, old platform is doing its job for now. Thank You

You will need to recreate the raid array on the new platform. So back it up and restore the backups.

 

Id just get a large external hdd, thats the cheapest way to back it up.

So there is no way for me to just move the drives over without backing them up?

Ok so I currently have a RAID config in an intel z platform, I want to move it to a x570 platform but dont want to lose any data (its a 12tb raid 0 config so backing it all up would be a big problem. What steps do I need to take to do this?

Issue with the LTT driver is the durability. It won’t last as long as pretty much any brand name driver and is a downgrade on the megapro that it’s based off 

What are you basing that on? I assume you arent basing that entire thing off of the one broken one from Jayz2cents but I havent seen any other testing showing that they have durability issues

The click bait controversy honestly has always kinda puzzled me. I don't think there is a single time Ive clicked on an LTT video and now know at least roughly what the video was gonna be about. Like ya I get the titles aren't exactly all encompassing and there can be an argument made there but overall Ive never seen a video where I clicked and thought "this isn't at all what I thought it was gonna be"

In my experience the screwdriver just explodes if you try to use an actual wrench on it, second best outcome is the screw rounds immediately from camming out.

 

impact all the way

Totally agree

Hey im building a plex server/nas with some stuff I have laying around. I am using a 7700k, a rtx3060, 3-4 spinning drives and an SSD. No RGB, probably 4-5 case fans and thats about it. I dont really intend on gaming or anything, just plex and might use it for web browsing and what not as it will be in my main room beside my entertainment unit. Im just wondering how much juice I need? I have an old PSU sitting here that works fine but I would rather just buy a new one for reliability reasons.

You must've never fixed things for a living.

22 years as an automotive tech and counting, so ya ive used a couple tools. Use the right tool for the right job and it saves a lot of work in the long run

Ok, ya under normal use I cant see the handle breaking, also to your original post, screwdrivers arent hammers and shouldnt be used as such.

If thats what the handle is made out of than it wont be breaking unless you are using them in a way thats not intended. Like doing something dumb and putting a wrench on the handle, in which case they should deny warranty

I guess Linus will need a parts section cuz I'd be breaking a lot of delrin.

Whats "delrin"?

Its pretty rare to see that on a driver with changeable bits. With a place to to use a wrench on the shaft you are able to put way more torque on the shaft than its designed for, definitely not advisable. If you are in a situation where you need that kinda torque on a fastener you probably should be using a different tool than a ratcheting screwdriver

So I choose to remain optimistic and hope that there is some sort of black shaft allocation in each wave.

I hope so too, I was VERY early in the first wave (like within the first 60 orders) and I wanna use this thing in my shop during my busy season which is fast approaching

I mean, there's an actual difference in quality (sometimes) between "factory built" furniture and IKEA. So I don't think this is a great comparison to PC's.

I think his point is pretty valid actually. He wasn't making a quality comparison, his point was not everyone wants to or is able to build their own PC so they will pay a premium to a company to do it for them.

To the original video I think my only real problem with it is that its a 850w psu with a 3080ti. If you OC it at all you might end up with a problem when its also using a 12900k. When they upgraded the build on their site to a 3090 now for $3400 did they change the psu as well?

I just went and checked, they did not upgrade the PSU, HOWEVER they have dropped the price to 2999.99 USD now

Filled in the form. Suggestion for the next time: put english language first, then native. (unless you're 110% most of the people who fill in the form, prefer your local language)

Or at the very least dont have both languages in the same paragraph, it made it very hard to read, to the point it annoyed me so much I almost just closed the window, drove me up the wall
