I watch LTT, TechLinked and Techquickie mostly at night and sometimes on Saturday morning. I like to watch build videos and anything that looks interesting. I don't like cryptic video titles and usually will skip those. Mainly because on youtube in general I have found those to be more often disappointing and boring to me. I don't watch the other Linus channels because I feel that as a loyal LTT viewer. I shouldn't have to jump to so many different channels to watch interesting content. Just my thing I guess. I just think it is bad to spread the content so thin to cover so many channels but I'm not in the business. That is just my opinion as a viewer or consumer of content lol. I also really hate build videos that take hours unless if it could have an interesting guest or maybe a celebrity. Then that would be ok. I've never seen that though.

I hate to say it but I think your out of luck on that one. My nephew had an iPod touch many years ago that he forgot the code to unlock it and the password for his account. He talked to all kinds of support people back then and he never could get that thing open again. It set in the family garage on a pile of junk for years. In perfect working order but he couldn't ever use it again. It was a real bummer for him. I can understand supports point of view on that stuff though. I mean that is the whole point of security to keep people from taking your account. I appreciate their diligence. It makes me love Apple products more.

When I was watching this I was thinking that Linus's crew could probably make one better then this case. With all that equipment they have and the fact of it being just a simple small form factor box. That could be an interesting video. Them cutting all the various pieces out and making it look nice.

If it was me I would have done this differently. After all the whole idea just like with everything today is to get as many people as possible hooked on your platform right? I would have made the price lower so everyone would buy it including all the adults who now pc or console game. I would have made the screen bigger. Made it like an ipad size screen with the same little handles they have on this on each side. I also would have let it use thumb drives of any size for storage. With just those changes I think this thing would have taken over the world in gaming.

I feel your pain dude. Comcast cable has been one mile from my house for like twenty years. There is more than a dozen houses from that point to my home but I don't think it will ever come to my house. I'd guess that dsl is what your probably going to need to look for. I've only ever been able to get a really slow dsl service myself but I'm also hoping for Starlink to come to my area too in the future. What I've heard in the past from people is that they really hated what they got for the money from other satellite providers. So I'm really, really hoping Starlink will be everything that people are saying about it. I need me some Starlink lol.

This is obvious I know but sometimes your web surfing can get a whole lot snappier just but deleting your browser history every few months. If your using an older pc with a HDD in it. Defrag it right after you delete the browser history too and also cycle the pc after the defrag (if your the type to never turn it off after using it). I've found that these things can make a noticeable difference in an older pc that still uses a HDD.

I'd just google wall mount pc. I've seen them before with the straps and wall mounting hardware for businesses. I can't remember the exact website but I'm pretty sure that I just googled wall mounted pc. That's how I came across them one day. If I remember correctly the wall mount hardware for the most part was not that expensive either.

I was thinking after watching this that if I had spent that much on a receiver. I would make sure when I moved that the new place would have a closed in room with four walls and a door to setup in lol. I tried calibrating my receiver when I first got it but I didn't like the results very much. Of course mine was only 10 percent of the cost of the one James bought. Plus my hearing is often not so good. I like lots of the subwoofer but I still want all the high range sound quality too without it getting chopped. Why is good sound so expensive? I miss the olden days when TVs came with big front facing speakers.

Yeah what he said. I saw on a video recently that the prebuilt companies have plenty of graphics cards because they apparently order parts far in advance. I can't remember who made that video but they were saying stuff like the prices at this time are reasonable for prebuilts. Even if you hate prebuilt systems. You could still just get a nice prebuilt system for way less then the budget you said just to hold you over for now. HP, DELL or one of the gaming prebuilt companies. Say around $1800.00 US and then do something different later when things come back to normal.

My dream car hasn't been invented yet. I want an electric car that is totally AI controlled. I just ride in back seat. It would only come when I schedule it to on my phone. The rest of the time it would be driving other people to other places. Also I would only have to pay a couple of hundred bucks every month to use it. I wouldn't have to pay for anything just the use rent every month. The company that owns it would pay for everything else to maintain it. I would love a set up like that mainly because I find day to day driving tedious and the cars super overpriced for what I need. I just need a get it done car that makes my life easier.

Thanks for posting this. I've got to try to set my iPad to make noise or something when security updates come. I hate it when I have any problems with my iPad now because it has become my main entertainment portal lately. So I try to put them on right away.

Hey, Hi I know what you mean about bad timing lol. I just started buying my first parts for my new system build before all this happened. My first machine ever that wouldn't have been an HP laptop or prebuilt. I was so looking forward to it. The case has been sitting with a sheet over it for like a year. With these graphics cards high prices now at the end of everything else. It's like Kong took a giant dump on that fun. I been hanging on all this time playing really old games on my ancient desktop. So then to top everything else off and put a This Sucks Flag on the top of that pile of poo. My desktop graphics card picks last week to fail. So now I got nothing for gaming for a long time to come lol. I just wanted to mention that I think you'd likely get more replies on a "Say Hi" first post. If you keep it short for that first post. I just have noticed that many people don't seem to have the patience to read/reply to long posts unless it's something they feel strongly about. They will often reply to short first time hello posts though. No offence intended, I just thought it might be helpful to you.

Hi

Blue Ridge Summit PA in the USA.

Hi I'm not really that expert on Tech but I love to compare notes about it with people. I am also sometimes a lousy speller lol. I can't help with the rest sorry.

I don't think I've ever eaten in either one.

In the Winter 60F (sometimes a little less 57F) during the daytime. At night I let it get colder because I'm in bed asleep so who cares how cold it is as long as nothing freezes or gets damaged. I just heat my bedroom but turn the heat down in the rest of the house. I often come downstairs in the morning to find it around 50F and turn up the heat for the day. Like I said though as long as it doesn't get any colder then that downstairs I don't care. In the Summer I can't control it much because I don't use air conditioning. I just open windows and use a fan at times. I mostly use the fan when I'm gaming lol or sleeping.

@GoodBytes When a person does sign into windows with their MS account would all the preinstalled apps on that computer know everything there is to know about that device? I know you kind of already spoke to this but just to clarify it for me. Will those app makers know my name, all my data and how old my pc is? My fear is they will see and after a few years will say his device is old so lets just start turning off parts of its functionality to make him buy a new one right away. Whereas my thinking is, I want to buy when I want to not when software companies want me too. I just don't want to lose control over my device. If you know what I mean. Also when you go to websites signed in like that on a pc will those websites see everything I mentioned? You seem to know about this stuff so I just wanted to here what you say the truth is about these questions. You see I don't have a Face book account for the same reason because I don't want to live like that ( in public).

I use a local account. I just sign in for the MS apps I use.

I thought it was going to be the April 1st joke but I didn't see this one coming when I clicked on it. They definitely got good production skills because after watching it I immediately felt an urge to bathe lol. I have mouthwash but do they make antiseptic eyewash? lol

Thin laptops. Just the cheapest plastic in the most boring outside and at the same time collecting every bit of data of every kind about us and everything we do with them. Then I think we should get them for cheap or free. If not and of course not then I want some freaking hardware for the money! I'm not a tiny child whose hand will hurt if I carry a 10 or 12lb object. Just my opinion. I know everyone doesn't feel the same way but you asked what tech really annoys me lol. This is at the top of my annoying tech list lately.

In the very beginning of this thing. I just had a sloppy home made mask. I cut out of an old tee shirt. I forgot it once back then and a nice woman in a store I was in gave me a blue disposable one to wear. I've been using that same one every time I go out for over a year lol. The strap on one side came off about six months back so I just taped it back on with some masking tape. I've been unemployed so I'm not spending my money on it. What I do though is first thing when I come home before I do anything else. I wash my hands with bar soap and use some antiseptic mouth wash. In my mind I feel these two things make more of a difference then what kind of mask I'm wearing.

I tried it once and didn't like it. I don't really like pineapple much at all though. I like fruit but only in a cup at lunch time lol.

I used to have the back of my desktop close to the wall ( 8") but I found my pc ran better when I moved it like 2 feet from the wall. Having that extra space just seemed to help the heat move out and away from the pc. Especially during long gaming sessions. In my setup I didn't put my pc under the desk but beside it. ( desk ) pc me That way I don't kick it with my feet or hit it with my chair. I tend to move my feet around a lot for some reason.

I have the same problem. I don't want to pay outrageous prices but I would like decent sound. There seems to be so much confusion in the earbud, headphone marketplace these days. I've tried low end stuff and they suck bad. The problem is people tell me that they've paid fair money for stuff and still ended up with poor sound. Years ago I used to buy $18.00 earbuds and $25 - $30 headphones with good sound and was happy. Now I don't know what to buy. I just can't find that good quality sound for reasonable prices.
