Linus Tech Tips, Tech Quickie, Tech Linked channels hacked
BlueSpartan replied to betav17's topic in General Discussion
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. -
Running Linux on 2020 Razer 13''
BlueSpartan replied to BlueSpartan's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
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.

Running Linux on 2020 Razer 13''
BlueSpartan replied to BlueSpartan's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
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. -

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.

Invest in a good router/modem, cables/adapters, and get the best speed from your ISP you can afford. Depending on the router you can set the bandwidth more appropriately or prioritize one device over another with Quality of Service. Use a wired connection whenever possible, its much cheaper to obtain the best performance.

How fast is the LTT member's internet connection?
BlueSpartan replied to zephiK's topic in Networking
I pay for 400mbps but it usually exceeds that, which is great. When I was only paying for 200mbps it would normally come in way under...who knows. I'm just glad to finally have a nice connection. Previous to this I was connected over a very unique technology in the middle of nowhere. On a good day I might make it to 1mbps. -

My confused Ryzen 3900XT
BlueSpartan replied to BlueSpartan's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thank you that was perfect. It was checked at "12" but unchecking it fixed the issue. Never had that happen before. -

Walmart.com. Appears to have come direct from the factory. The box and CPU are labeled properly. -
My confused Ryzen 3900XT
BlueSpartan replied to BlueSpartan's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I've tried all that, and the score is the same. That 2nd screenshot is from msinfo, as it appears even windows thinks its a 6C/12T part. I'm at a loss... -
So I decided to upgrade from a Ryzen 3600 to the newly released 3900XT. I fired up Cinebench and noticed my scores weren't even close to everyone else, then I noticed it thinks I have a 6C/12 thread part. I've updated chipset, BIOS, Ryzen Master, etc etc and same thing. Any ideas from the brain trust on what's going on here?

I know we aren't in the world of Star Trek yet, but I come to you searching for an image correcting solution. I have several stills from a security camera and the license plate is only legible enough to take some vague guesses. Is there any software that I can use to clear the image up enough to determine the correct letters/numbers? From my google searching the first few I tried are basically useless.

This is about as perfect as you can get per your requirements.

You can't expect Apple elitists to understand gaming, life beyond editing digital media, or fun in general. If he spent the money on a Steve Jobs statue to kiss every morning it'd probably be alright.
