Cavalry Canuck

Wait, why hasn't this been a thing until now? Use electric drive in the city and lots, get regen instead of Jake brake, and run a diesel generator for longer trips. Diesel-electric trains have been around for ages.

I don't know if this is on LMG's radar or if it would even fit, but a collab with Edison Motors could be cool. They are a Canadian company making electric trucks powered by onboard generators, much like some trains work. What made me think of this was lately they have launched an event/contest for Canadian schools (though spreading to the US as well) where they provide everything they need (electric motors etc) for teams to build electric vehicles. A video from the car review team would be interesting, but now with the school event, there might be opportunity for much more.

Yes, it does not matter how fast you run in dual channel, you would never match the bandwidth that triple channel could generate. I have various sets of different style Hypers just incase I come across another X58 system that I like.

Hey all! Happy new year. We’re back at it with a couple long awaited follow ups.

ASUS
I know you have all been waiting for more information regarding the influx of ASUS complaints we’ve seen over the past half year or so. When we last posted an update a few of us had a sit down with our ASUS contact and laid down both short term and long term goals and expectations. Internally, we had a date in mind of when we expected them to hit those short term goals. We are not going to hit that date. While many of you may be happy to hear that we are not renewing with ASUS for 2024, in the end we are a bit disappointed that they have made no progress towards those short term goals. 

There are a couple of additional things I wanted to note, just to offer some transparency. The members of our business team have different relationships with different brands and partners. And ASUS was a long standing one. We truly believed that the contact we have spoken with wanted to facilitate the changes within ASUS. But the problems were so deeply rooted and systemic that we don’t see a timeline where the smaller fixes end up being addressed anytime soon. We really did want to give our contacts the benefit of the doubt, but in the end we have sadly just been left with doubt.

That being said, there are some projects that you may see that are rollovers from last year that we still need to get out in the near future. But after that, we have no plans for 2024. That doesn’t mean the door is closed forever. We do want to keep talking with them, keep monitoring them to see if they take any strides to fixing the issues, especially in their customer support department. 

We also just want to make a quick note that this is on a sponsorship end. I can’t speak if non-sponsored coverage will pop up at some point. Or if one of their GPUs will end up in a build we do on stream. But we will not be taking money or product from them in exchange for anything we produce until we see follow through on improving their products and customer support.

Secretlab
I also wanted to follow up regarding Secretlab because we did see an additional post regarding a customer support rep using some…questionable language. When we last did an update for Secretlab we had expressed that we expected better from them. At that point in time, internally, we had pretty much come to the agreement that we wouldn’t be working with Secretlab until we see much needed improvements.

We appreciate everyone for sharing their experiences with us. While we can’t rectify every problem you may face with a brand, it does help shine a light on larger issues when we talk with our partners. And we like to try different avenues to see if we have any luck. One of which can be putting you in touch with reps from different brands. Again, we ask that you’re respectful to those contacts, to each other, and to LMG staff and moderators as well. 

Thanks again.
 

Please re-read what you wrote, out loud.
 
Does it sound as silly to you as it does to me, that they would clear this with a company first?

Just watching the WAN show and thinking about how it might be nice to have the current topic shown on the bottom bar somehow (maybe instead of the twitter handles). Just something like "Bobby Kotick leaves Activision" or "Merch Messages"

Has there been a video done about the history of Ethernet/Networking? It’d be neat to see the team recreate various historical networks, and maybe even see how large of a gap they can get in the age of various devices within a single network (1973 & 2023 vintage computers transferring files? 🤷‍♂️).

Ah, so you spent so long getting us the video because you were waiting on hold 😄
 
 
Overall some of that was super frustrating to watch but overall I'm surprised with a few of the support reps!

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

Ah yes, the high stakes issue of sub-par pre-built PCs. Totally worthy of a bona fide conspiracy theory.

Keeping drinking the kool-aid buddy, keep drinking it.  Many of you obviously don't know what investigative journalism is.  You go with the story.  You don't shoot the story then change the outcome because someone doesn't like the story.   I argue that the original video contained no errors.  Because anyone whose at least been in school past about the 7th or 8th grade SHOULD KNOW that when you import something you have to pay a duty or fee on it.  
 
Hear what you want to hear I guess.

Welp, it's been a month.  This series is dead and has lost all credibility, par for the course and the company.  You had a chance to gain your credibility back but when you took down part 2 to fix some semantics, because the woke whined, it was over.  

Contacted and given take is way different from essentially paying off. Which what OP here is suggesting. Thought, you are agreeing with me, while trying to make it that you would have opposing opinion.

You typically can't prove a negative. It is up to you to prove they did this again and that is the reason we are not seeing anything new. The rest is either speculation or opinion.

That wasnt a fan boy statement I made. You made up an assertion of incredible bad faith with zero supporting evidence. 

There is nothing in your statement to disprove as what was claimed only supporting foundation is straight-up an ass pull of "I made it up"
 

Fanbois will be fanbois.  What proof do you have that I am wrong?  

You made the assertion.  It's your job to prove it.

I mean we can all make up bullshit speculation. 

I have had ads on Facebook try to give me malware. So yes in my eyes all ads are bad because these dumb fucks refuse to verify who they are selling ads to.

Could be coolf if they can hire the right actors. They would definitely need to get Peter Dinklage to play Linus.

Also the fact you had to be subscribed to floatplane for any of the specialty merch from LtX 
 
so I’m betting at least some of it was the people canceling after that.

I doubt it. Many things people thought to be illegal turns out to be completely legal and vice versa. This is why you should always consult with an attorney before asserting some wild legal claims or threats. 

at this point im not content until this company is six feet under. fucking despicable.

For testing a build I used to do that yes but now I have to be afraid that it'll flex and I'd have to put the case fully together before finishing the wiring and testing.
 
Is it really such a high demand to have a case's frame hold together by itself nowadays?
 
Would you buy a cooler that falls apart when you take the fan off?
 
Or the radiator of an AIO that is split into 3 pieces, tubes in between and holds together once you attach it to the case?
 
The level of complacency when it comes to the quality of cases is frighteningly high.
 
Anything is just as strong as the weakest link in the chain.
