  1. While of that is true, this whole thing (Madison situation excluded) is a typical situation that occurs when your company grows. Bureaucracy grows, expectations are set (release schedule, amount of progress in projects, ...), and it all gives little room for going the extra mile to fix things when you see them going wrong. You are expected to have moved on to your next project. The "This is not my job (anymore)" mentality grows as people get pushed to deliver more and on a fixed schedule. I see the same at my job at the moment. You need to get back to what our CEO calls "the startup mentality", where everyone is pointed the same direction and nothing gets in the way for people to get a product to where it needs to be. It's very hard for a company to find a middle ground in all of this. On the one hand, if you are a big company (LTT is big for the industry that they are in, how many Youtube studios have 120+ people...), you can't throw away bureaucracy and expect people to work like they do for their own pocket (if it's just them putting out videos themselves). On the other hand, you want people to have the courage and oppurtunities to stop and fix something as they see it happen, without getting on their back that the next thing is not making the progress that was planned. This could potentially be very good for everyone involved to get the quality up to where it should be. Keep in mind that a lot of us long time fans (like me) "fell in love" with the channel back when it was videos on a parking lot, handshot, without script or maybe the sketchy things they did at the langley house. Production quality per se is not the end-all-be-all. The downside is that they might have a slower release schedule or no schedule at all.
  2. Just popping by amidst all craziness to say to Linus and LMG: There are still fans around, people who appreciate the work that you all do. I know because I am one of them. Hang on, and take some time to focus on the necessary improvements and find your ground again. You can do it, give it the time that it needs. People need to chill out instead of shouting about everything. Bottom line: as much as you think you can see inside the company and know all these people, you can't and you do not. We only know what we see, which is eventually only a small portion of who all these people are. Be grateful they show as much as they do, they are much more open about a lot of things then any other company I know. I am not dismissing the Madison situation by any means, or the things Steve brought on, but I can't pretend knowing everything that is going on and I can't just blindly accept that suddenly the whole company seems to be this bad. So far, every reply I've seen from LMG and Linus, I can still see where it comes from and I do believe the good intention still. Good luck!
  3. Hi all, I have a drive in my unraid server that is reporting Read Errors: It's the parity drive and however it always gives me the error message every week when it checks the parity, after the error it always notifies me that the parity is valid and the check is being completed with 0 issues. I am looking at the SMART statistics but I don't really know how bad my drive is right now. Should I be replacing it? I am planning to upgrade my drives but since this is unraid's parity system I wonder if it would still be safe to use the drive? Any insight would be helpful! See attachment for the SMART report. Kind regards, Stef WDC_WD40EFRX-68WT0N0_WD-WCC4E0ZSD84F-20210410-1358.txt
  4. Good idea. It's reproducible since the issue happens pretty much every time I shut down. Well I double (and triple for that matter) checked all the cables, so that shouldn't be it. If it's inside the psu I'm just buying a new one... Thanks for the opinions!
  5. Hi all, I am having an issue with my Corsair AX 850 Gold PSU (age almost 8 years - 2012), at least I think it's the PSU that is causing the issue. The computer works fine. But, when I shut it down, the power button on my case and the one I have on the motherboard (MSI z77a-gd80) will not turn on the computer, most of the time. Sometimes it works. Most of the time I have to shut down the PSU with the switch on the back for about 10-15sec, turn it back on and then the button will work. Similarly, when my computer is in sleep mode the power button acts the same way as described above. Any ideas? I'm thinking it's the PSU, but I don't just want to buy a new one if I am not sure it is the issue. Kind regards, Stef
  6. In the back of my mind I knew about Rocket missing at some point. I just did't know that he never returned and that Rumble is MIA as well ?
  7. Wait what happened with Linus' cats? :-( Are Rocket and Rumble both missing?
  8. short answer: Because people still buy from intel, even at higher price. People like having a good track record, and they pay for it. They stick with what they know.
  9. Maybe there is a compatibility issue with that one stick versus the other one in the corresponding dual channel slot?
  10. Have you tried putting one of the other sticks in that slot and it boots = the slot works. Have you tried putting that last one stick in another slot and it boots = ram stick works.
  11. put 7 in the slots, ducktape the last GB inside the case, sell as 8GB inside. jk..
  12. I had this issue once, I did it with a DRM removal tool. I think it was this one that I used: https://www.aimersoft.com/drm-media-converter.html It was a long time ago so not sure.
  13. does not matter what you format it to I think. You can't install to a wrong format. It would tell you you need to reformat. why don't you install it on your laptop itself? Windows 10 activation is hardware based, isn't it? so putting it in another system after installation would cause unnessecary troubles. could be either disk that is giving errors, or, i had a pc not too long ago that couldn't get through the windows install, it had broken RAM. Broken RAM can give all kinds of weird errors.
  14. I did that with https://www.murgee.com/auto-clicker/ It did what had to do :-)
  15. Tried both bluestacks and Nox, both were decent but nox was a little snappier for me.
