How is DuckDuckGo affected by this? I thought it was its own thing. Or does it rely on MS Services but still is otherwise its own thing? Either-way, this will definitely affect the trout population.

I'd like to see them do a series on taking enterprise level hardware and adapting it for home use. Why? Cuz I wanna take "fiber to the home" and run a fiber optic network card from my pc for no practical reason.

I mean, unfortunately, a lot of them do. We only ever know of the ones that get caught.

I'm not sure how many of them even use Windows or Mac to begin with. I'd assume the "smarter" ones use some kind of Linux distro.

Did they edit his beard and face to look like the Chad meme or is the benadryl finally kicking in.

I've never been okay with the spying, and many of us (myself included) have gone out of our way (mostly by downloading a program someone else spent a lot of time making) to disable all the bullshit. I've never once paid for Windows in my life, mostly because I've always gone for the long term business versions, disable Windows Update, and then water it down from there. Personally I've hated Windows 11 the whole time since they went out of their way to make it more "Mac" like. But at this point, I think the few games I play will work on Linux so when the time comes, I'll likely switch over to a more gaming centric/friendly distro. I do think the "common person" won't know about this unless us techies blow it up to the point it makes national headlines. Even then I'm not sure how many people would switch away for fear that whatever it is they do won't work on a different platform. That and the learning curve of learning a new platform.

Man they're gonna see my spank bank! Seriously, how is this not some kind of legal invasion of privacy? Someone's gonna sue them for this bullshit.

YouTube has been experimenting with lowering the bitrate on videos but allowing users to pay for higher quality bitrates (I think via a YT Premium account). I don't think it's a thing on all videos and I'm not sure if it's something the creator controls, but this may be the primary reason behind your issue. How does a high quality bluray rip look with something like VLC Media Player? If it looks great, then you at least know there's nothing wrong with your laptop.

If it's not being obstructed in anyway (which it doesn't seem like it) most likely just bad bearings. You could try and swap it for a front fan to see if it likes being mounted on a different axis. Otherwise you may wanna contact Lian Li (if it's their case fan) for a replacement.

I think that kit was for the interior though. Unless it had both interior and exterior and I didn't notice.

I would have liked to know more about the mouse, dpi, latency and how it holds up during gaming (I also really wanted to see it spin and get a 360 no scope). It's honestly kinda cool.

Helldivers 2 is next, I betchya!

Genuine question. Why does something like a USB hub need firmware updates? I buy one, plug it in, and use it. Never once do I think about firmware or even drivers.

So this is specific to Android devices then? So my ISP nor the FBI have any idea how I acquired the LMG Christmas Album?

What software are you using? You should be able to see the spikes in the audio tracks. You'd want to use those spikes to line everything up. A hefty "clap sync" never did me wrong. But I hate editing to the point I don't do it anymore (and haven't for a couple years now).

We live in an age where you need an account for your "smart" toaster. There's no reason to need to link an account to play a game on a different platform. That'd be like having to link our LTT Forum accounts to Discord in order to use the LTT Discord server. I hate it here.

I wonder if the Floatplane app is included in this metric xD (Actually wasn't it the Apple app store they had issues with? It's hard to remember which tech giant was more of an asshole this year.)

For gits and shiggles try plugging the CPU fan into a normal fan header. If it does the same thing I would think the fan itself is bad.

Did you try a new video cable? Also try a different input on the monitor and a different output on the GPU.

This is exactly why I’ve been livin life on the 7 seas. I don’t need multiplayer support anyway as I have no friends so being locked to single player is all I need.

For Windows and Linux: Firefox with ublock origin, sponsorblock, return youtube dislike, and (best of all) dark reader.

Installing DOOM now. Let's hope it plays!

Maybe I'm just used to really old tech, but this doesn't need to be a thing. I've replaced the screen, battery, and charge port assembly on my iPhone 6s. The parts were all from iFixit (not a sponsor) but I don't know if when I powered the phone back on it synced to said servers. I doubt it, nor is it necessary when you're replacing something like a battery. Apple just like using buzzwords to trick most people into thinking they need new muffler bearings every third oil change.

I'd like to see an "ingredients" portion of the label. How much fiber is there really when they claim I have "fiber to the home"

Sounds like their days of doing business are "Finnished"
