Who would buy it? Whoever needs it. In a conventional case, you shouldn't buy it but if someone is making a bespoke piece that requires that part then you buy that part in order to fit the vision. It's not a product that makes sense for Linus, it's not a product that makes sense for you. 800$ is a lot of money but it's not unobtainable. People still occasionally build $ 8,000 PCs, $800 for a unique item that might be an interesting centerpiece is reasonable. There is a version of this built for the 4090, it is not quite yet outdated.

Fair, I should have included that I did understand that in spite of The Washington Post accurately reporting the inaccuracy or corruption in the Times there would still be a conflict of interest. In the context of how GamersNexus calling out the failures of LTT their history of accurate reporting and integrity should also be considered which is why the comparison to the Washington Post and Times is more accurate than Pepsi and Coke. GamersNexus will not remove the video if LTT resolves their issues but have a history of doing follow-ups when the problems have been resolved or if they have not been addressed bringing those issues back up in the follow-ups.

Ok, gotcha, you just worded your position too strongly, and as a result, it was brittle. My Failing was to assume that the context was about GamersNexus reviewing LTT. Sorry abou that.

How do you figure that? We are talking about LTT and GamersNexus, two companies that in the past have done exposés on other companies in the tech field, this behavior is precedented. The comparison to the Washington Post and Times is not without merit as those two companies have set expectations of reporting in that fashion. Coke and Pepsi have set no such expectations and have no established history of integrity. Please elaborate on how the comparison to Coke and Pepsi is more fitting.

People are calling it theft because it is technically theft. Billet sent the product out for review and then requested it back, it's the property of Billet, and whether intentional or not the property was never returned and instead sold to a third party. It's theft regardless of what tool you cut it with. If I were to borrow your PS5 then request it back and I agreed to give it back but then I sold it to someone else, whether I intended to steal from you doesn't matter, I stole from you.

Your video on PC Audio product Scams got me wondering if you would consider examining something like the Zoom uac-232 or Rode NT-1 Generation 5. Consumer grade audio input devices with 32-bit SPL that deliver “unclippable” 32-bit float digital output. These devices claim to remove the need for a Gain knob because 32-bit SPL delivers a "Near infinite level of gain" allowing the user to reclaim in post clipped audio or boost quiet audio without introducting noise, if this is true it might be a new paradym in audio recording equiptment.

Don't know if this is a linus meme but I bought an old server today to practice setting up VSphere remote desktops and maybe didn't get the best price but still a the price was pretty nice.

I'm looking for a IP doorbell/camera that doesn't need a subscription or storage. Basically just an if this than that door bell with an IP camera. Does that exist?

Deleting windows and installing linux for a relative becuase I didnt know how to bipass a local user password or how to authenticate a fresh install of windows without purchasing a key. They were left with a computer that they didn't know how to use. Sorry, I was a noob.

Hi all, I'm working IT for a small school and we need to set up a conferencing room. I'm trying to figure out the most turn key solution. A solution the teachers cant possibly mess up. Something that doesn't require me to be in the building to diagnose audio/video configuration issues. A solution that would allow your parents to seamlessly use Zoom, Meet, or Teams without finding a way to constantly Bork it. I was thinking maybe a smartTV with a webcam but I've never used a solution like that so I don't know if it would work. I was also wondering if their might be a Linux solution, something that maybe doesn't look like a desktop environment and just has the bare minimum options to open the necessary applications. Like think dementia phone operating systems where everything is really big and extraneous features like settings are axed for ease of use. Any ideas?

Yeah maybe but at first glance they only have RCA in and I don't want to complicate things with a toslink to RCA converter.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good wireless headphone or earbud solution for watching tv. They've tried an avantree audicast plus which in theory is a solid solution but it doesn't reliably pair with their Bluetooth headphones. Their tv also has Bluetooth built-in but it doesn't automatically pair to the headphone so they have to navigate the menus everytime they turn on the tv and they can't do that So what I'm looking for is the most dead simple to use toslink to Bluetooth/wireless transmitter, something that is basically set and forget. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for offering help, it turns out that 2 of the HP switches died the weekend before I started work. Twas a bad time.

I just started a new job out of college as IT, and today was my first day. The internet went down last friday and I cant figure out how to get it back up. We have a Cisco router that outputs to a D-link switch. This switch is connected to our domain controller an application server and a couple of server room computers, These computers have internet access. The D-link switch has 16 ports about 12 are being used 1 - application server, 2 - DC, 3 - My IT computer, 4 - Goes to the switch room in the basement, the rest are used for VOIP and security The Cable that goes to the switch room connects to an HP 1800-24 which splits into 2 other HP 1800-24s and a couple patch panels. I cant seem to get the internet to propagate these switches. I've talked to the previous IT guy and He suggested I reboot the Cisco router and the HP switches and just let the routing tables do their thing but that didn't work. I'm currently trying to map out the network and figure it out but I don't really know what to do. Any suggestions? All computers have network connection to connect to the Domain Controller but the Network storage isn't accessible. I can only connect to 1 switches web portal when I wire my laptop to it, the other 2 don't give my anything.

This looks like it might be what I'm looking for, I'll definitely dig into this this weekend
