    Same for me. 
    They used to do way more in depth things with hardware...

    I agree, I remember they had a Dell Switch and Linus wanted to install a GUI on it and it was never spoken of again.

    He has a massive CNC shop now and so far all they've made is his desk and a pyramid case.

    Your feelings aren't just yours; me and many fellow forumgoers share your sentiment.
    I personally don't watch many if at all newer LTT videos; their golden age was between 2017-2019 for me. That's where I learned the most about tech because they actually went more in-depth than "hey look at us moving rack around plug in cables dangit thing got drop".

    I just watched the Cable testing video and the "Check out my HUGE Rack! - New House Network Update" video. They both could have been a tweet or two basically. The Network video was "I got a pink server rack" and "I got these new ubiquiti equiptment" but he didn't actually discuss any of the actual tech here. The networking video didn't really discuss any of the setup, inside it was just "yeah I got a NVR, and like 86 network devices".
     
    Like I don't mean to be a "hater" and I'm not coming here to shit all over the folks at Linus Media Group but the videos are feeling like a waste of time, they could honestly be half as long.

    Pro tip:
     
     - toilet paper
     - paper towels
     - tissues
     - napkins
     - and other papery products
     
    Can be used interchangeably. 
     
    Consider not being picky this time when the tissues you wanted aren't there but you're right next to a pile of toilet paper.

    This new thread is to replace the old thread on discussion about the novel CoronaVirus (COVID-19).
     
    Here are the rules if you are to reply ;
     
    No political discussion, that is, complaining about a country, a politician, a party and/or it's voters, etc... (a country's response, current policy, and state on the COVID-19 can be discussed, but no partisanship will be tolerated), No antagonizing of any kind, No conspiracy theories (hoax, bioweapon, etc...), there are PLENTY of facts published by reputable scientist and science teams, No replies to incite fears or to be dismissive ; be alert, not anxious (thx Dr. Mike), Do not be dismissive toward other's fears or concerns. Misunderstanding and not knowing something isn't against the rules, but being dismissive and/or aggressive when corrected is, keep an open mind and keep the discussion friendly.  
    Failure to comply with these rules means you are asked not to post in this thread. Continuing to post will be treated as arguing with moderation. Please read Community Standard about what are moderators rights in terms of content posted, and it's removal, on the forums.
     
    This thread is meant to discuss and share facts, experiences, fears, concerns, and questions about the current pandemic, if you want to vent about politics, or share your most recent conspiracy theory on the subject, I suggest other platforms, as any of the rules broken will result in your reply being removed and a warning issued.

    Animal901 got a reaction from oeci in Linus said on WAN show that 30fps is preferred over 60fps among LTT viewers. Is that true?   
    Films are 24 fps. Tv broadcast at 30 frames a second. Video games are 60+ frames a second.  Stop trying to turn film and tv into video games!

    Buy a $50k Mac Pro or build this 64 core 3990x Threadripper pc? If you are smart, you definitely will build this monster 3990x threadripper computer. 
    That's right baby, only 4 weeks away than this 64 core and 128 thread threadripper will be on sale assuming if there is no issue in the supply or any technical issue to delay the 3990x sale date.

    Animal901 reacted to homeap5 in Tech Quicke and lies about free Windows   
    Why someone with that reputation, with 1,5 million views, with 52000 likes, says that nonsense unverified opinions?
     
    If I had a channel with that many visitors, at least I would try to spend some time to investigate problem, not speak unverified thoughts.
     
    This is quote from Microsoft website link
    "Authorized Software and Activation. You are authorized to use this software only if you are properly licensed and the software has been properly activated with a genuine product key or by other authorized method."
     
    It's not written there anything like "you can use our software for free with our annoying watermark because we don't protect our software using hardcore methods".
     
    If searching internet for FACTS is too much for Tech Quickie, there is always Microsoft Call Center. Or you can even write to Microsoft question: "is your system free? can I use it with watermark, because you not made better protection?".
     
    Seriously, I expected something more from Tech Quickie. With that number of viewers, this guy is basically TV reporter and it is his responsibility to provide verified informations.

    I know I'm late to the party, here.  And this has probably been said several times over in this thread by now.  But Vista was awesome.  it's bad reputation and critical failure had far more to do with lagging OEMs and hardware developers not keeping up with the needed hardware/driver support for Vista.  Linus was dead on in that video that he made.
     
    Vista was a damn good OS, and a sexy beast at that.

    5k is way too much.  It needs to be 3k tops.  2k is more in ballpark.  A 5k machine is the top end of hand built watercooling.  It would have to be better than the absolute best possible price-is-no-object PC and even then the market is too small.

    A new rumor have appeared that Apple may be pushing harder to get more gamers to opt for the Macintosh instead of Windows or Consoles.

    Thoughts: While dubious by the fact I cannot find the source that the article links to but it seems a lot of other Taiwanese tech sites have mentioned it as well. But who would actually play CSGO or PUBG on a mac anyway?
