They likely turned everything off to secure what they still had control over and see what had been compromised.

I never said they were. They have the capability and resources to make the videos great though if they hired people who were experts, like the one they mentioned they turned down in one of the last few WAN shows.

David Bombal as well, and that is his expertise. In his case it ended up being an employee. The human element will always be the weakest link. LTT is a higher-profile target, so it could be a complex attack.

You don't have to shill a product to make security videos. Every software solution will have flaws, poor management decisions, etc. Even if they did "grade" products like an independent lab, the onus is on the individual to make good decisions. If you watch a dated video on a security solution that's not the tech channel's fault. If I were interested in the current model of a car I wouldn't watch reviews from a 2012 model year.

It does make sense that in such a fast-moving area CS would not align with "evergreen" content, but that is also true of other software/hardware things they put out. Nothing is truly permanent. They did the Rubber Ducky video but it was void of any real information or capabilities. Really they just need a side channel for in-depth topics of any kind, since the main channel has to be geared toward normies.

I would subscribe, but at one point, they mentioned going to full subscription prices for each channel.

LTT has always avoided meaningful CyberSec videos. They also decided not to hire that CS expert for the labs because they do not want to touch it. Maybe this will be the turning point.

Thank you for the assistance, after wasting much more time and looking at a few threads in other places it appears that of the few people who managed to get the video working, many other things were still not. Looks like I'm going to have to pass for now.

I can't believe people still use ebay. All I ever see are scams or overpriced junk.

I tried a few other things in the grub file per other forums, but I will try this out and report back.

I tried one of those in the nvidia edition mode...I'll look at which one it was and report back. Secure boot is disabled...what else could be causing issues in BIOS?

This is a pic I took yesterday for myself. The errors are pretty similar no matter which flavor I'm trying to boot.

Intel Core i7-1065G7 Windows 10 Home 13.3" 120Hz Full HD GeForce GTX 1650 Ti 16GB RAM, 512GB SS https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/Razer-Blade-Stealth-13/RZ09-03102E22-R3U1

So has anyone else had any luck getting any distro of linux to work on this model? I've tried 10 or so popular distro's to learn on and have done nothing but waste a bunch of time. Some of them will start up eventually in a live enviroment if they have a safe/compatibility mode but once the install is complete it's nothing but errors. I think it has something to do with the Intel/Nvidia hybrid GPU setup. I've found people with similar issues on various forums but they don't reach a resolution at all, or reach one that doesn't work for me. Basically when it boots up will begin failing repeatedly with various errors. I had hoped to play around with Fedora, Pop OS, etc but it doesn't seem to matter what distro or branch it comes from.

Between not being able to dual boot linux or Windows, and the constant phone home/spying thing they have going on, circumventing VPN's...I'm going to have to pass. I really wanted to like it.
