  1. Take a drink every time Linus has to fix his hair. Hope he's getting a proper haircut soon lol.
  2. Why is this just 10 minutes? I'm sure they had heaps of footage. I simply don't understand this trend of making hyper fast-paced videos that just breeze through everything, especially if it's about an incredibly interesting topic like this, that you don't really see often. I feel like the team really missed an opportunity to make a nicer, more documentary-style video in the range of 30 or 60 minutes. That would have been amazing. This really felt like barely scratching the surface and I also feel like I retained ZERO knowledge because they just blazed through everything so fast with little context...
  3. Can't believe futurelttstore.com is not grabbed yet.
  4. Performance variances between different manufacturer versions of the same video card are usually absolutely tiny as long as they're in the same form factor (3 fans, 2 fans, 2 slot cooler, 3 slot cooler, etc.). Obviously a thick 3-slot chonker with 3 fans will run a bit better than a smaller one, but even then it's not going to be more than a few %. If it's the same form factor, guarantee even if one version is 300$ less than another, it will perform 99% the same, so I'd go with the cheaper one always. So choose mainly based on what form factor you're going with, how much room you have in your case, and stock availability.
  5. Creates an awesome glass desk PC with a custom reservoir, and then covers it with a mousepad...
  6. Taran looking all Beethoven-like nowadays, I think this is like the third video in the past few weeks where he just looks like a bomb went off on his head, lol.
  7. I thought that was going to be the Linus desk PC follow-up. How long has it been since that first video? Did they abandon it?
  8. Literally saw it after a refresh and it was still available, clicked on the product detail page and it's gone, lol.
  9. Honestly, the shipping is not even that big of a deal as customs. Where I live, customs is 12% of the value of the product + shipping, and customs tax is 20% of the value of the product + shipping + customs... Yikes. Still less money than paying for a new GPU though. Alternatively, would have to convince the customs agents that the value of the product is 1$...
  10. It's $500 in the US before taxes, they're not getting it that much cheaper than us overseas. It's just misleading because in all promotional materials whenever any company launches anything they put US prices without tax and WW prices with local taxes.
  11. When GTX 900 series came out, you could have built a rig with a 970 and a 4670k or 4770k for around 1200-1300 bucks. The 970 was only $300, and was the second fastest regular card on the market. You simply can't beat that nowadays.
  12. I weep whenever I see these clean setups. I have a work laptop with a docking station and a desktop, and two 32'' monitors on my desk, with multiple switches to switch the peripherals between the laptop dock and desktop: two displayport switches and a usb switch going into a 10-port usb hub (with 9 ports actually permanently populated). The volume of cables on the desk is ridiculous, but I really don't think it's possible to clean that up unless going to unreasonable expense. This did give me the idea though to at least get a double-monitor vesa mount stand thingy to mount to the back of the table, instead of having the two giant monitor legs taking up space on the table, those don't seem very expensive.
  13. Is it just me or did the price, technology level and storage size of AVERAGE consumer MP3 players not progress at all in the past 15 years? I was checking my local store and the most popular middle-of-the-road was some Sony player with a tiny non-touch screen and hardware buttons, with just 4 GBs of storage, for 90 EUR??? I kept checking and it's pretty much impossible to get anything more than 16 GB of built-in storage or more than a 2-inch touch-screen, unless you go for super high-end players which cost hundreds, and some even thousands of EUR/USD. And even those are super bulky and not thin. How are they able to economically compete with phones? I can get an entire phone for 200 EUR which can play all the music formats in acceptable quality, has a huge touch screen and a decent battery, 64 or 128 GB of memory, is thin, and on top of everything is a PHONE - I'd expect a similar device with all the phone features removed could not cost more than half of that. But apparently that doesn't exist. What's the point of buying an MP3 player when I can get a phone with built-in storage that's many times larger than a similarly priced player, when I'm getting a phone with all its features as extra? How does that economically make sense?
