    wall03 reacted to Emily Young in AMD just proved they're not your friend   
    Threadripper upended the HEDT market when it released, but now it seems the more expensive Threadripper PRO is here to take over. Is AMD making a mistake, or is enthusiast HEDT simply obsolete?

    Hey @betalars I sent you a DM for when you have a moment. Please respond with your ticket numbers, as well as the monitor name and the ID of the component causing issues. I'm going to follow up with our rep and investigate this, hopefully we can get it figured out for you!

    Just got a Spigen case for my S21 and so far, it has survived many drops. It also has a kickstand which is useful. It's also only $20 and is a very good value case.
     
    Edit: Also, ProtonVPN has been useful until I realized I could not afford a VPN.
     
    Edit 2: Boxed is an awesome Amazon competitor. Low prices, no Bezos.

    The Fairphone 4 would be the closest existing thing to this. They have a power button fingerprint scanner, mid range specs, probably a flat screen, USB-C, Dual SIM, and expandable storage. However, it does not have a headphone jack, though people seem to have moved on with headphone jacks.

    While I don't think they financially can justify it atm. I do want to mention SimpleLogin. It's an email relay service, fully open source, but offers a reasonably priced hosted option.
    So for example I have linustechtips.[6-8 random letters/numbers]@thibaultmol.link
    If I decide to never want to have anything to do with ltt ever again, OR somehow the forum gets hacked and emails get leaked;
    I can just disable or remove that alias and create a new one. My actual email is never exposed.
    I receive that email then as coming from Simplelogin: (I'm still in the process of moving all my accounts online over to simplelogin aliases, except for my really important sites)
     
    from:    Linus Tech Tips - do.not.reply at linustechtips.com <wxzfuhaaydz[more random charachters]@simplelogin.co>
    to:    linustechtips.[random chars]@thibaultmol.link
     
    And replying to that would appear like coming from the alias. (also means that you can use it to have a custom domain when using Gmail (not Gsuite))
     
    They have browsers plugins and mobile apps to easily create them on the fly and the software is fully open source (but tbf, for the low price it is, i wouldn't bother hosting it myself).
     
    I wanted to mention them, but i don't think they have a lot of $$$ to spend atm. I know they did an Appsumo deal for like a couple days, where people could get the service for a very cheap or lifetime plan. But that's all

    Hey everyone! It's the weekly sponsorship suggestion thread.
     
    If you have seen any companies that you think we should work with, don't hesitate to suggest it in the thread! These can be companies you may have seen sponsor other creators, digital ads, or just products you are interested in buying. 
     
    It doesn't have to be in the technology space too!

    Hey everyone!

    This is our first official thread for our incredible fans to raise concerns, issues, or praise our sponsors.  It will be open for about one week and then closed, with a new one created in its place. The reason why we want to do it this way is to help prevent the thread from getting too long since we don't want to be 30-40 pages deep trying to find one single piece of feedback.
     
    What kind of feedback we're looking for:

    Customer Service Issues
    News on bad business practices 
    Poor product quality
     
    We want to keep this thread as productive as possible! So let's make sure we're not getting off track.

    One of the questions that really resonated with me was "Would you be interested in seeing a real-world list of what our hosts use around the office or in their home setups?" The Verge has a "What's on your desk?" series of blog posts that LMG might be able to model a series of videos after.

    While it's unhealthy to idolize purchases simply because someone popular is promoting them (COUGH COUGH Raycon earbuds anyone?), it's extremely useful to know which products are of good quality that also increase your productivity throughout the day.

    This forum post is brought to you by ______. Seriously though, if you have any suggestions for our sponsor reads or who you think we should be working with, feel free to drop them here. The point of this sub-forum is for us to get another perspective that we can layer on top of our due diligence when vetting new sponsor partnerships.
     
    We also want to hear from you guys if you have concerns about sponsorships that you've seen, or brand talking points that you feel don't accurately reflect the experience. 
     
    Myself and the other members of the business team will check this thread periodically - thanks in advance!

    wall03 reacted to szalony9szymek in Thoughts on Opera GX?   
    They advertise a shitty proxy as VPN.
    The browser is chromium but unlike chrome it has issues with teams... 
     
    Also shows you some "sponsored" links to sites like aliexpress in the menu. Also has the annoying tab with "gamer news" which is hard to disable and dull of clickbaity articles
     
    But I think as a sponsor it's much better then most vpn conpanies
     
    Also I forgot, idk about GX, but the "standard" version of opera displays popups on the desktop, while browser is not running, popups basically asking you to open it... It's worse then edge
