Nope - tried enabling that. No change. I find it interesting how that setting in parenthesis, has the name of my 144hz monitor. And not my other two secondary 60hz monitors. I wonder if that setting is only applying to the primary display.

I've been searching\googling for years trying to figure this out. Tons of topics, tons of people commenting about it. Year of our lord, 2023, and this is still a bug within Gsync and I can't believe it still exists. x470, 3900x, RTX 3700, 64GB, tons of SSD's, a powerful system. 144hz primary display, two 60hz secondary displays. Issue: When playing a game on the primary display, any video stream playing on a 2nd monitor which is using GPU decode has it's output framerate linked to the game framerate. This is fine if your game is getting 8 million FPS. But if you play endgame strategy games, or hit a loading screen, your FPS tanks to 15, and so does your videos FPS. This also becomes a problem with Youtube, because it automatically downgrades the quality to 360p because you're dropping half of the frames. The games play perfectly fine & are completely unaffected by video playback. Gsync functions normally, as it should. Remedies: Well, I've tried everything. Obviously drivers. Fullscreen\windowed. Disable hardware acceleration only works on a web browser, and it breaks a ton of other functionality within the web browser which is not acceptable. Happens in any video playback application. I came across a reddit thread that had a video profile inspector to force multi-monitor performance mode. Disabling windows game mode. Making sure power profiles are at max. None of this works. The only solution is to disable G-Sync. If I do that, video playback is perfect, it never drops frames. Which fucking sucks to have spent the money on a display which supports it and not be able to use it. Am I missing a solution here that has been found? I've searched to hell and high water for YEARS, maybe my SEO terms aren't finding a solution on reddit or any of the other forums.

I've used Craigslist\FB Marketplace for the last decade to buy\sell used computer hardware (among other things, even two cars). Never once had a problem. 99% of the problems can be filtered out by being smart on the messaging\selection process. Don't use your phone number on craigslist, work through their anon email relay only. Police station parking lots are fine I guess. But I have always done mall\store parking lots. Plenty of space, plenty of people. If it's a particularly high value item, I bring a friend. In-person transactions sometimes are cash, but these days, it really is a Cashapp\Venmo game, so you'll need to have (preferably both) setup. There are scam risks using these apps, but they are pretty low and someone isn't going to be using them on a $180 GPU transaction. Above about $800-1000, I would start wanting more secure\verifiable payment xfers like cash or cashiers check from a bank. Ebay has a broader marketplace, but it's own set of risks with the shipment and buyer protections people can take advantage of. IMO it's more risky.

the WAN show. Every Friday - and now Saturdays too!

Interesting. There is still a separate cached version within the search results, even though the actual video has been updated.

There is also embargo's. Where a video is done, uploaded and rendered on the platform. But not "published" or marked private until a specified time. Or videos which had been expected to be taken down. Plenty of tricky subjects. They're fortunate there seems to not really have been anything amiss with what was public for a time period. That could have caused some serious problems were an embargo'd review leaked by no fault of their own. I could only imagine the legal shitshow that would entail. Also really goes to show how important thumbnails are for a channel and the "clickability" of a video. Seeing the a\b difference is wild.

I completely disagree. No sane person would knowingly sign off on re-publishing those scam links to get 1 more hour of adsense revenue. I find it highly unlikely Linus would knowingly agree to that. I suspect what happened is the recovery spat out what it spat out. Then the guy from Youtube dumped it onto LTT's lap "here you go" and the LTT team had to scramble to fix it.

Yeah that's a fair point. There could be a large amount of technical debt of how the backend systems work. Youtube accounts, Google accounts with Youtube accounts, video editing, flags, everything. Imagine how they would have had to bodge in merging of Google & Youtube accounts into one unified system. Two probably completely different db systems, done live, seamlessly to the user. Still though. You would think after 4 years of dealing with disaster recoveries someone could come up with a process to un-fuck it...

The backup itself is super easy. The video files themselves never actually get deleted. "deleting" things just edits the database and various flags around the videos, which is more or less just a line of text in some arbitrary file aka metadata. The entire LTT empire is a million video files, organized by maybe a few megabytes of text including all the descriptions, stats, flags, etc. The vast majority of the data is within these video files, not the metadata, so backups of the metadata is super easy. "backups" are done by saving snapshots of these database files. The videos themselves never get modified or copied. They probably have a seperate redundancy process within the CDN system of Youtube itself. Which is why this is so shocking to me that the recovery process is this FUBAR. It's unbelievable.

Like I said, unbelievable this is the process for a problem which has been ongoing for years. I first started seeing this scam in 2019. The Youtuber Marcostyle got his channel hijacked in exactly this same way. I can only imagine the stress the team is under right now seeing this back catalogue exposed to the public, with apparently, no ability on their end to fix it (because they would have started privating things again). What a disaster.

Thankfully they are all from a million years ago. God forbid something more recent becomes available. Apparently some genius got flags mixed up and all the private videos are public... Can't believe this is what the recovery process is. I've seen it happen before on other channels, still can't believe it is this much of a clusterfuck. And why the channel is public during this.

Computer of Theseus. Bit by bit it's rebuilt over time as I upgrade the weakest link. Some components are 7 years old. The latest upgrade was 1080 --> 3070, bronze PSU --> titanium.

Fills out the room with a beautiful soft cast. Everyone should do this. Three cheap Arctic whatever monitor arms for like $20 each. They actually work unlike the triple-arm scams that cost $200-500 and don't work. Highly recommend mounting monitors on any setup. Take the arms off your chair and use your desktop as armrests if you're a tall person. It just works better. Sound treatment in the room. I have a nasty 38hz room resonance that I will never get rid of because physics, but the cheap treatment I did do makes for huge improvements to audio "tightness" in the listening position. Controlling those first reflections is so important.

Then why not do both? If a formal warranty doesn't actually make a difference - why not just include it as a formality? People feel like they aren't being told WHY it isn't being included, if, according to Linus, it doesn't make a difference and the end result is the same. If that were true, you would just include it anyway, especially when pressed about it. But because it's completely off the table, there must be some "Cost" attached to it that is potentially more expensive than the honor system he's currently saying is the policy. EDIT:

It's got to be a widespread systemic issue for this to happen to a tech journalist like this. The probabilities otherwise are just too remote.

Bump for more help if possible. It seems that Seagate Exos drives commonly have SMART issues because they report weird values as stock? https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/scary-smart-values-on-new-seagate-enterprise-drives.58973/ When I first made this thread, one of my discs (DA5) had value 10 Spin_Retry_Count as failing. This actually triggered my array to be in a degraded state and actually nuked my pool at one point forcing me to recover it (I forgot what I did, I think just remounted it) Now, 3 weeks later, disc DA5 has it's value at 100 and is healthy, yet disc DA1 has the same exact value also being reported as 95.
