I just watched the vid, and while I can appreciate the transparency in many places, there's quite a few big red flags I saw. The first was regarding the HR situation and how to deal with reporting HR or workplace issues, and them using some 3rd party consulting HR company.
 
If someone is being s*xually harrassed at work, go talk to them about it? And if its a manager that's doing the harassing, skip step 1 & 2, *then* go to you or Yvone - oh, ok. If it's a manager, they're probably on decent/good terms with you guys, so it'd be really uncomfortable & awkward to do that for the person, too. You also know there's that video out there of the meeting you held after a certain person left the company, which pretty much explained why the flow that you are explaining here is pretty bad without a dedicated in house HR dept, not some potential Simpsonsesque Dr. Nick Riviera level consulting firm from craigslist. So bring the complaint to some random company that know fck all about the internal workings of your company, and when they get a notice, they have to investigate it, which means they have to bring it up with you, which mean you'll know exactly who it was that brought it up and what it was about. Repercussions much? This whole "workflow" solution looks like it just screams, "I've never had to report a legitimate complaint to a boss at work before". This is a very important thing that was changed, and the isolation between the departments is something that should be taken very seriously. HR being "buddy-buddy" with mid or upper management is a disaster waiting to happen. I'd say bring it up with the union steward, but we all know how limus feels about unions.
 
The other thing that really made me cringe, is while I know they're in "business crisis mode" regarding the madi$on situation, which is basically "ignore ignore ignore until it goes away" so they won't even say that it exists let alone address it, but the little segment addressing where his staff is getting "hate" online and is offering medical for it is adorable - the company is accused of multiple accounts of s*xual harassment, toxic workplace conditions, employee misconduct, multiple times, from multiple people, over who knows how many days, much of which (while not 1st party directly confirmed, basically agreed that "yeah, that sounds about right". Sounds corroborated by an impartial, independent former employee to me. This, and he's trying to get all chest-puffy, "yer not part of our community, you meanie-weenies make me sick. harumph." Surprised you didn't send them damn job applications.
 
 
Last, from someone that has worked in high stress, high entertainment level jobs, when you try and show us that "oh look, people came to work at like 8 or 9am, and left at like 5 or 6! we all work normal hours, and **sooooometimes** we work overtime". No. I can say with whole hearted complete and utter confidence, that at *bare minimum* at least every member of your writing & editing team work overtime. Every single one. I would bet my house on it. Just because their car isn't at work, doesn't mean they're not working. I can't tell you how many videos and podcasts and countless other things had to be edited/mixed/fixed/redone/uploaded/blahblahblah from home, so who knows how much work they're actually doing that isn't even being compensated for. Not to mention the people that have to be on call basically 24/7 to fix issues for "emergency crisis management". It's entertainment, so you kinda know what you're getting yourself into, but to make a claim like "we barely even work any overtime, if any at all!" is such massive BS garbage it makes me mad that people will just blindly believe that. That's a straight up lie. Maybe your graphic designer for t-shirt merch maybe, sure. Jeez.
 
I appreciate some of the transparency here, it's more than most, but I gotta say I haven't really missed the lack of videos - it's been kinda nice. So no, don't have to "just deal with it", can just unsub and click off lol. Tit for tat. I know bossman won't read this, but it's for others who feel mildly similar. I appreciate the content, but I also appreciate the break. What I don't get is, if you're so hard-headed about having this lab & the tests & everything, why not just have all the specs on it's own channel, like "LTT Labs" or something? Then reference that data on the main channel when you need to for major releases of like CPUs & GPUs & whatever?
 
At this point, I don't think anyone will ever view LTT as a "legitimate source for technical data & information" when compared to the pedigree of your compatriots (and now competetion? lol), the brand has kind of diluted and eroded away a lot of confidence in it being anything other than a "bite size info-tainment goofy silly semi-serious channel for LTT", but if that's what your "vision" is, then so be it. It's your name on the building or nameplate or channel or whatever. Have fun.

Trying to grow out of my unironic toxic schadenfreude stage of life, so I'll just say - "best of luck, and...changes? I'll believe them when I see them. Talk is cheap, & your mouth moves way too much."

Hey all,
 
Thanks for letting us know with regards to Volta. I just want to confirm, we've stopped all partnerships with Volta and ended our contracted campaign for this year as a result of the poor customer service from these products. We worked with them for quite a long time and had no issues prior to this indiegogo campaign, but the recent developments caused us to take action and stopped running integrations for their products until their customer service can improve to the level of standards we expect from our partners. We'll reevaluate our partnership in the future, but as things currently stand, we won't work with them anymore until these are fixed and made right.

I bought that, and it stopped working after 1 use. I contacted support and they be sent me a replacement that died after 2 weeks. Now the third died on my hands after about 6 months. I have used it normally, charged it at low wattage and I m really really careful on cleaning it with water. Arm I have 3 e waste products at home.
Also when you but it, there is a hidden subscription for about 10€ per month for a useless part (blades)
 
Photo of their waterproof. I ve washed it a few times in low pressure water from a sink. They did a good job keeping the water inside I guess

yes.
you could go for 5700x also, doesn ot use that much power, and is pretty much equal to 12400f, but has more cores

Specs at a glance:
Filter: Dodge Viper K&N Power Button: Automotive Starter Switch Material: 10 Gauge steel plate Weight: 61.4lbs (28Kg) - This is a perk in a shop. Mobo: Z690-A ATX CPU: 12900K GPU: 3080ti Cooler: NH-D15 (air cooled) Mem: 32GB DDR5 5200 MHz Storage: 2TD SSD PSU: SSR-1000PD Fans: QTY6 of NF-F12 120mm Total Cost: ~$3,500
 
Cinebench R23 testing:
~12,300 score ~83C max CPU temps
(ignore the "average" column, I let HWinfo64 run longer than this particular 10-min test duration)
 
I'm very happy with these results.
 
It tested the same with or without the filter installed. Same score, same peak temps.
Yes, that surprised me too. The filter is apparently a non-factor in performance, which makes sense when you think about what this filter is originally designed for, and it really goes to show how terrible conventional PC dust filters are.

I do not sell these.
I may make an exception for Linus if he throws money at me, but for now I only offer the digital plans in the off-chance someone is crazy enough to want to make their own.

What I want readers to take away from this:
RGB is over-rated. (sorry, I couldn't help myself) Traditional PC dust filters are a joke: They are terrible at filtering and great at restricting airflow. But it doesn't have to be that way:
Pleated air filters are awesome. They allow for adequate filtering without hindering performance (due to their substantially larger surface area).
Automotive or HVAC filters are an excellent choice because they are pleated and come with respectable Merv ratings for filtration.

Gonna end this with:
 
Hey Linus (and gang).
Thanks for all the cool content.
This was my first PC build. I really appreciated your comprehensive How to Build a PC video.
I'm stoked you got to check out my build and best of luck filling your massive warehouse with cool toys.
I'd suggest a CNC plasma, or CNC Fiber-laser for cutting metals.
 
Thanks.
-Josh!

Both blender and resolve you need to choose one or the other.
 
For blender the 3080 is the default choice not a single doubt about it. The moment you let it ray trace accelerate the 6900xt becomes a very very very distant second.
 
Even letting all the cards render in opengl togheter would probably at best match a ray tracing 3080.
 
Id  just sell the extra cards off here. You dont have a use for them

No. you can only render with 1 API at the same time.
