    Tie Lightning got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies   
    So my mom wanted to get a Bluetooth earpiece so that she could talk on her phone in the car. So we were at Target the other day and says, "Oh yeah, I've been meaning to pick up a Bluetooth. To which i reply, "Bluetooth what??" She says "oh i wanted a Bluetooth so that i could talk on my phone in the car." Then i proceed to explain that Bluetooth is a software not just a thing, Bluetooth can do a lot of other things too.

    Since you're into ridiculous thumbnails, I think ya'll should do a viewer designed thumbnail contest for a video that's planned far in advance of release.  Give the forums the green screen pictures and let them go to town. Prize is 3 days of FP or something who gives a shit.

    Tie Lightning reacted to Prysin in Regarding the recent Tech Quickie   
    @MageTank its happening again...
    Dunno if you noticed, but @LinusTech made yet ANOTHER video spreading partially false information about the effect faster/better timed RAM has on even normal day to day tasks.
     
    In his video (availible on Vessel) link below:
    https://www.vessel.com/videos/f3JMXRNiP?tab=details
     
    He yet again claims RAM has near no impact on gaming performance. Whilst on average the boost may not be big, massively popular titles such as, but not limited to; Fallout 4, Ryse Son of Rome, GTA V and The Witcher 3 will see noticeable performance increases by going with faster ram, ESPECIALLY, on lower or mid end CPUs (Athlon 860k, FX 4/6/8/9 series, Core i3s, locked i5s, quad core no HT Xeons). Why is this? Because said CPUs have downsides to their performance, and any sort of decrease in access time will result in directly measurable performance increase.
     
    There has been several documented cases of how and when RAM speed and latency improvements offers benefits. By representing his video the way he does, Linus make it sound like the 5-15 USD more you pay for a kit of faster RAM is more like 50-150 USD more, by constantly referring to faster RAM as a "much more expensive choice".
     
    The fact that @LinusTech goes as far as to promote estetic's over performance, WHILST claiming that the "enthusiast" segment would agree that spending the money on higher speed is wasted is not just wrong. It is simply sickening. Anything that can increase performance without derailing a budget should be considered as a serious option. Picking slower RAM with LEDs on them offer no benefit at all. It looks ballin, but performs the same OR LESS due to generally worse specifications on kits with LEDs or other fancy effects.
     
    At the same time, Linus's builds sometimes feature faster RAM kits, which is often given as a sponsorship or has been bought at some point. But whenever faster RAM is mentioned, it is always brushed aside as if it has no performance benefit.
     
    So @LinusTech, Tell me. At what grounds can you claim that the performance increase you get with faster memory is not worth it after reading / watching the following documentation

    @Slick@nicklmg (tagging you guys too so this maybe gets read.)
    I also have one more grief with the video, that sounds dumb but to the unknowing computer user, it may not be obvious.
    When Linus was talking about AMD APUs using system memory and dGPUs (read: graphics cards) using their own memory, a slide of a Nvidia dGPU was shown. This CAN cause the misconception that AMD uses system memory which is slow and terrible and bad (blablabla insert fanboy arguments here).
    There should have been a brand-agnostic example slide not showing ANY logo, serial code or branding. OR both brands should have been equally represented with a slide each, as to not cause potential confusion and or misconceptions.
    Why can this cause misconceptions or confusion?
    Because @LinusTech never really explained what an APU is, he never clarified if it was a graphics card or a CPU with iGPU. Hell, even AMD doesnt clearly call it an APU. Nor does he explain what APUs are commonly used for or where you commonly find them.
    AMD APU products are labeled A6, A8 or A10 followed by four numbers representing the generation and tier within the product stack. By not being clear on this point, Linus is not being clear to his less knowledgable audience.
    I hope LMG edits said slide to remove the Nvidia branding before this goes onto "mainstream" platforms such as Youtube as to avoid any ignorant idiots using it as an real argument for or against a product or brand in a open discussion.

    Tie Lightning reacted to Nightcrawler504 in Linus Tech Tips, mid life crisis?   
    So it seems like the lately the channel is out of content or creative team is out of ideas, probably feels they have covered it all or just doing the same thing on different platform. Seems like the channel has entered its midlife crisis and some weird things are going on, uploads are the testament. I got to Linus Media first subscribing to as fast as possible, which is a great channel so basically the reasons I subscribed are the following in that order of importance.
     
    1) Learning of new technology. Love the new segment of the work shop, there are plenty of myths out there waiting to be tested.
     
    2) Comparing products or reviews of products I potentially want to buy, that’s saves me money cause I get a good idea if product may fit my needs and appreciate advice on what’s the sweet spot, bang for the buck that I can get, alternatives, pros, cons and possible other products I should look into or some kind of solution with equal or better results are also appreciated. So example do I choose an lcd, led, oled, plasma wich one is best for the money, should I dig into a projector too much info? do it in parts there is very unlikely a straight out answer so u can cover different situations and link videos on the description box so people can decide on what suits them best.
     
    4) Keep up to date with trending technology, new tech and new tech solutions. For example nvme, skylake, quantum computers, ips, hardware, software, computers, gaming, tvs, screens, projectors, 3d, single boards, storage solutions, software optimization, vr… etc u get the point.
     
    5) Guides and how to
     
    6) Watch fun obnoxious stuff I can’t do, that u can just because, like the 2 gaming spots out of 1 cpu. Putting products to their limits how far can they go how much abuse and just random usage can they resist.
    I would love you to include single board computers, comparisons maybe build guides on how to set them up as cloud storage, Projectors, can I do 3d on non-labeled 3d products, native resolutions and emulations, cellphones and their processors, security features.
    I would also llike of you to make a child safe computer so you can leave your kids a computer and know they wont be watching unappropriated content.
     
    If you want to augment your fan base plz make another channel for starters its great to make the community grow just don’t do it on a channel where you are talking about kernels, bios and overclocking. Thanks for your time and efforts. I would love for other people to help you find more content, sharing their interest, comments and what they would like to see.

    PNY GPUs are aight cause they were primarily a GPU company....Then they decided to expand to memory and such and as a result arent up to the quality standards as say Samsung, Sony, ADATA, etc....So IMO PNY memory products are a greater risk
