So Linus said in hes recent LOVE BUILDING COMPUTERS!! stream that in the childrens book they're making he's not happy with the D-Pad rime for the letter D, so i came up with this: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right, That's the combo that gives you MIGHT I'm not really happy with the word "combo" but can't think of anything better. Would really love some help from people with better vocabulary then me. Anyone that has any idea of how to get this to Linus, please inform me.

Hey everyone, i just wanted to let everyone know about a nice little book i found. It's a book that focuses you on creating your own language. I've used and created a few buggy programs but overall i really enjoyed this book and it gave me a bit of encouragement to potentially continue with developing my own language. if any of you want to check it out i'll leave a link but ye, i really enjoyed this book. < link removed >

Hi all! I will be starting my university course on the 23rd of September and I had previously decided that I wanted to purchase the Surface Book 2 for my studies. My reasons for this being that I like to both write and type however I dislike the bulk that comes with carrying lots of paper and stationary. I am also taking a Computer Science course and so having a relatively capable laptop that isn't built for gaming is something I want from it too. I imagine that the Surface Laptop 3 will be announced early this October and am beginning to have doubts as to whether the Book 2 will be right if I can save money by purchasing the Laptop 3. Should I wait for my course to begin and for reviews to be published for the Laptop 3 or just get the Book 2 before my course starts? Additional must-haves for me are the inclusion of USB-C, touchscreen with stylus/pen support, and some form of biometric authentication be it Windows Hello or a fingerprint scanner. Thanks!

Hi everyone I bought myself a Surfacebook2 to take notes at my university. Now I have a problem. I dual booted my Surface with Ubuntu but it never worked properly, so I decided to delete the Ubuntu partition sadly now my Windows dose not work and I don't have a backup of my windows My data is safe as I use onenote and my own nas. I don't really mind setting up my Surfacebook new, but how do I get all the drivers? I can make a windows boot usb from an old laptop I have (Lenovo) but is this any good. I used to have PRO but my laptop is not pro. Those this matter a lot? I hope someone can help me. Janick Spielmannn

Hey everyone. Been watching linus for a few years, but never really thought to join the site. After trying to find a good tech oriented discord, I finally gave up and decided on joining the site only to find that LTT has a discord channel as well. I've got a few questions about the workings of the Surface Book 2 and the Alienware eGPU. It's largely the same, but it seems that both of these devices are able to more or less get around the bandwidth limit of TB3. For Alienware, they used their own dedicated PCIe port for it, which comes with some down sides, but the performance seems incredible. The question for the Alienware situation: Is this set up able to be replicated on other systems? For instance, if ASUS or MSI wanted to use their own cable for this type of situation, what would be stopping them, other than the fact that it may cost R&D and/or further fragmenting the port for the market. Couldn't you build a system to use Alienware's port? Secondly, for the Surface Book, the dGPU is in the keyboard, which I think is an awesome idea, but again, how does that get around the bottleneck that TB3 has? Obviously, it's got a different connection than TB3, but/how does that connection work? I fear my questions may be impossible to answer simply because they are all developed in house and the exact function would be private knowledge. Cheers!

I am looking at the Surface Book 2, but I was thinking, if they just came out with the new Pro and Laptop, what is the chances of the coming out with the Book 3 any time soon? I don't want to get the Book 2 and the Book 3 come out Q1 of next year. I looked it up on google, but couldn't find anything.

Hi guys, So i have a surface book 2 15' with an i7 8th 16GB of RAM and 500GB ssd, and lately it's clock speed sometimes lock on the 0.4GHz and the only way to wake the cpu is to change the power settings. I was running the windows 1803 build and i thought that was the problem so i downgraded to the 1709 and so far so good, besides that the cpu lock down 2 times each time i restarted the surface. So i was wondering if i'm the only one or if there more people here with the same problem. Temps when stress testing: goes to 80ºC and then goes down to 73ºC and stays there. Clocl speeds when stress testing: goes to 3.2GHz and slowly goes down to 2.1GHz and stays there. The cpu only locks on the 0.4GHz every time i try to play games, sometimes even watching a youtube video in fullscreen or if i leave a stress test running longer than 5 mins the clock starts to go down. What could be the problem? Should i send to MS support or is it just a software issue? Ps: i reinstalled windows like 4 times Thanks in advance

any one have an idea as to how to adjust the timeout on the sb2 keyboard backlight? as far as i can tell, there is no software out of the box, and, i am unsure, without taking the thing apart (something i'm not willing to do to a £2000+ device), weather it is software controlled, like rgb on desktops, or fan rpm, or if it is hardware based, like a 555 timer ic?

I've had my surfacebook performance edition for a while now and I have always been waiting for Microsoft to release or build in a lock for the detach button. I find it really stupid that even being in a locked state, the screen can be detached. I also want to be able to not accidentally ONE click the detach button which is so closely seated next to the internet options on the taskbar and thus detaching the screen instantly. Is there any way to software lock the screen? especially when the computer is locked. Thanks for any help!

I'm new to the forums aside from FloatPlane access so Hi everyone, second, I just bought the US Galaxy book 12" lte from verizon. Im having issue getting the HDR content to display correctly. I'm almost certain its simulating HDR but not actually decoding HDR streams much less getting access to them via netflix or youtube. There is no indication that the HDR content is being accessed when looking at the video quality option on youtube. The device its self is using the "generic pnp" monitor driver. are there any HDR testing programs out there? aside from using a colorimeter, is there any way to tell? im in contact with another user on the samsung support site as well as a twitter convo i just started with samsung_mobile_us. what is the best course of action here?!?! i want to draw some attention to this and get an actual fix to unlock HDR on this device. thanks.

So after listening to Victoria and Taylor rag on Kate about the video, I came back to my room to find this creepy photomontage. Only Nathan would be this disturbed. The thought that Nathan was in here actually setting up this weird gallery is way fucked up. I better start being more careful around here. I almost want a surveillance system now... As if things here weren't dramatic enough, I got a creepy text from a private number. Nathan? Victoria? No clue. I really have to start watching my back. I still had to give Kate's book back, so I went to her room. I knew she wasn't doing good, but I didn't know how bad until I went in. All the lights were off, blinds closed, like some emo-goth den. And Kate is the opposite of emo or goth. She was just crying in the dark, and it was so sad to see her like this. More sad is that I wished I could take a picture of her framed in her expressionist misery.

Helolo everyone! I am wondering why do older PC's (e.g. Mac Mini G4 1GHz) run faster then a newer PC's(e.g. Lenovo 1GHz)?

So I really like fantasy adventure books (Ranger's Apprentice being my all time favorite series) but I've been playing Total War: Warhammer and I think it would be the perfect setting for a book series so I though,"Has anyone wrote anything?" and sure enough there are 1,001 books set in the Warhammer 40k universe talking about Space Marines and a 10,000 year long galactic civil war. But I want to know if there are any books set in the same era as the game, I want swords, sieges and magic like the game. I've found this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Total-War-Lord-Chaos-Warhammer/1784964042/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489688270&sr=8-1&keywords=Total+War%3A+Lord+of+Chaos+(Warhammer) which is about the Chaos peeps killing everyone which sounds right down my ally but I'm wondering if there are any other books that are out there? And if I should jump into the main Warhammer 40k universe which books should I start with? Preferably on Amazon so I can get that sweet next day shipping. Thanks!

Hello all, I have recently been fortunate enough to receive a Surface Book (i7 CPU). However, often when I am looking at photos or watching YouTube, the device becomes very hot to the touch, but until now I haven't checked the temperatures. With Google Chrome and MS Word open, the CPU is hovering at around 70oC. Also, when I played some Overwatch on the laptop, it reached 80oC. Are these temperatures normal for the Surface Book, or should I look at seeing if I can get it replaced? Thanks!

Right now I'm looking for a unity c# book and I cam across "Learning C# Programming with Unity 3D by Alex Okita" (sorry for no link, posting from phone) and after some intense googling i found out that it was made for Unity 4.6, but I also saw that someone in the reviews had said that it was made for 5.01. This book seems like exactly what I want right now (I watch online tutorials as well but I can't exactly pull out headphones and a laptop in the middel of school). Does anyone know if this book was updated for Unity 5?

So I have been wanting to get into programming for awhile now, yet been so busy haven't gotten the chance to really learn much unfortunately. I am doing some college classes for it next semester (C++) but id like to know a bit before going in. Therefore, I'm coming here for some recommendations on a bookor two, to try and understand the actual structures and command in the code. I can look at peoples code all day long hell I can even write a bit if I have a decent guide. However unless I know what I'm looking at I won't learn anything... Im sure you all understand. So if you have any recommendations on a good book or possible class that actually lays a foundation rather than just "monkey see - monkey do" type thing i would love to check it out. Preferably C++ or Python from what i gather those are the 2 that would lay a good foundation. My PC has a linux distro installed so python should be good to learn first ? or just get C++ out of the way?

Hello All, I am looking to purchase a new laptop during the Black Friday sales/deals, and I had my sights set on the Microsoft Surface Book. I was wondering which configuration I should get, the: i5, 128GB Storage (SSD), NO dGPU, 8GB RAM i5, 256GB Storage (SSD), dGPU, 8GB RAM I won't be doing much gaming on it, just maybe light games occasionally (CS:GO, [Overwatch?] etc.) No need for great image/video editing power. My main questions between these configurations are: Does adding the dGPU decrease the battery life of the laptop? If so, how significantly? Does adding the dGPU increase performance enough that the 700 AUD price increase is justified? What is the battery life like in general, doing tasks such as word processing, web searching, and programming? (Mainly, will it last me through a full day of school (8.30am - 3:20pm))? It also has the added Black Friday deal of a free XBox One + Fallout 4 + Tomb Raider Thanks for your help!

Is it really worth it? Like the new Origin OMNI. I don't really see the point. I mean, cases can be beautiful and with proper cable management you can hide your case. You get laptop specs without the onthego- features. Edit: Okay that video is useless. I changed into a better one. I read about the Origin Omni from a tech magazine and it wasn't a full review. It was just a "heads up, this PC exists". I thought that video would show it more but after re-watching it, it feels like Im advertising it.
