Hi, So the issue is that the lockscreen slideshow seems to only appear if one of two conditions are met; either the screen time out setting needs to be set to 1 minute or if it's set higher certain programs (mostly games, though they don't need to be in full screen) that when active in the foreground (so actually clicked on the program) the LS SS will appear as normal, if the program is running but I'm say clicked on the desktop it won't work. As far as I'm aware the issue started to occur after I tried out DisplayFusion, not sure if started when I installed or after but I started noticing it after I uninstalled the program. Another thing to note is that when I installed DF my current power plan was set using GPEDIT.MSC. I was speaking to the DF devs but they seem to have gone rather quiet after telling them about the Group Policy setting so I think it might play a part with the issue. I have since set the GP setting back to Not Configured, hasn't made a difference. I've gone through every trouble shooting thing I can think of and can find online, all have led absolutely nowhere so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Hey Linus! With the insane prices of video cards, we need your help man! Sites like Wish.com have outrageously cheap 1050, 1060, 1070 video cards (under $100!) and it would be a really great video if you bought a slew of them and compared them to their expensive name brand counterparts. It'd make a great video to see if we need to start ordering directly from China and bypassing trying to build a gaming rig with the ultra-expensive name brand cards! You know, until your video and then everyone orders from China!

So I see a bunch of users and they have their pc specs below whatever they say on a topic and just wondering how do I do that?

What does separate the Titan from the Tesla: memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and the lack of NVLink functionality. Uses the standard GeForce driver stack ts Volta architecture underwent a serious revamping of the SM processor design at the core of the GPU, which should provide twice the energy of efficiency Pascal. This allows for major boosts in FP32 and FP64 performance, within the same power envelope. AMD and Qualcomm join forces on Always Connected PCs Source 1: posted by TheLinusPortal https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/869611-amd-and-qualcomm-join-forces-to-power-higher-end-connected-pcs/ Source 2: https://www.engadget.com/2017/12/05/amd-qualcomm-always-connected-pc-ryzen-snapdragon/ AMD and Qualcomm are teaming up to make Always Connected PCs on AMD's "Ryzen" mobile platform while using Snapdragon LTE modems to enable gigabit connection speeds. The Ryzen chipsets can provide decent frame rates for mid range games like League of Legends or Overwatch. Since the higher-end CPU can reach 3.8GHz Marrying this performance with Snapdragon's X16 LTE modems means that laptops could be powerful enough for online gaming over cellular connections.

Steam no longer accepts Bitcoin Source 1: posted by VegetableStu https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/870288-steam-no-longer-accepts-bitcoin/ Source 2: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613 Yes, Steam did in fact accept Bitcoin as payment, but not anymore, due to high fees and volatility in the value of Bitcoin. When Steam first added Bitcoin as a method of payment, transaction fees were roughly $0.20. Now they’ve creeped as high as $20 per transaction. These fees are passed on to the consumer and result in unreasonably high costs for games The value of Bitcoin is only guaranteed for a certain period of time so if the transaction doesn’t complete within that window of time, then the amount of Bitcoin needed to cover the transaction can change. The normal solution is to either refund the original payment to the user, or ask the user to transfer additional funds to cover the remaining balance. In both these cases, the user is hit with the transaction fee again! Steam may re-evaluate accepting BTC at a later date. Google pulls YouTube from Amazon devices (again) Source 1: posted by davrosG6 https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/869948-google-is-pulling-youtube-from-amazon-devices-again/ Source 2: https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/05/google-is-pulling-youtube-from-echo-show-and-fire-tv-as-feud-with-amazon-continues/ Earlier this fall, Google pulled the YouTube app from Amazon’s Echo Show devices due to dissatisfaction with the implementation The app was missing subscriptions, related videos, commenting, sharing, and more But a few weeks ago, YouTube returned to Echo devices- but apparently without Google’s consent! Amazon had apparently built a work-around by implementing the web version of YouTube. This version was also built without Google’s input Google learned about it from the press, like everyone else The new version overlays voice controls on top of the experience, which Google claims is a violation of its Terms of Service Now, Youtube has been pulled from the Echo Show, and FireTV users have been warned that the app will disappear on January 1st. Is the removal temporary? “We’ve been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other’s products and services...But Amazon doesn’t carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn’t make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest’s latest products. Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon.” Mega Man X Games coming to modern platforms Source 1: posted by SlipperyPete https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/869840-mega-man-x-games-coming-to-pc-switch-ps4-and-xbox-one/ Source 2: https://kotaku.com/mega-man-x-collection-coming-to-ps4-xbox-one-switch-1820983270 Capcom has announced that all eight Mega Man X games are coming to current-gen platforms, including the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, in the summer of 2018. Mega Man X started on the Super Nintendo as a sort of soft-reboot for the classic 2D platforming series. The series spanned across the SNES, PlayStation, and PlayStation 2 before finally ending with Mega Man X8 in 2004. Mega Man Legacy Collections 1 and 2, which together include Mega Man 1 through 10, will come to Switch in 2018. Capcom also announced Mega Man 11 for current-gen platforms.

BUT we’ll likely never see these releases outside of China The Switch isn’t available in China so Nintendo is using the Shield as a foot in the door. It is possible that these games will come to the Switch through a virtual console though, as it has similar hardware to the Shield. 2018 iPhone Rumours Source 1: posted by RorzNZ https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/870622-2018-iphone-to-sport-61-display-and-new-colours/ Source 2: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-2018-lcd-metal-back-colors,news-26231.html edge to edge displays A model with a metallic back and an LCD display.

this better be on the wan show http://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-releases-volta-based-titan-v-for-pc/

This is crazy, Forbes is asking me to white list their website in exchange for "light-ad experience for 30 days" Just thought this was interesting considering the guys just talked about it in the last WAN show. Let me know what you guys think!

HP seems to have a new business oriented, modular, compact PC http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/elite-slice/overview.html

Is there any way to watch US Netflix shows in England? I know Netflix automatically detects where you are and stuff but is there a work around that doesn't cost money and is legal/safe?

So I imagine a lot of you guys have noticed that Hoodie Linus has been wearing a lot on the WAN show and in some of their videos. The hoodie in question is that black outside with the LTT orange inside and the large coloured WAN show logo on the left breast. I cannot find it on teespring and I REALLY want it. If anyone knows where I can find it or if I should give up all hope. Please let me know.

I've watched the Blacklist ( liked it), 2 first seasons of breaking bad ( i don't like it),1st season of daredevil (meh), game of throne ( my favourite), and the latest is quantico witch i enjoyed a lot. i don't know if it's the story or just the casts. they are one of if not the sexiest cast i've seen so far. i really liked it. looking forward to the 2nd season. i need some recommendation on what tv show should i watch next.. im going to try the arrow or the flash.............maybe

Hey, I was just wondering if any of you know the date of the wan show where linus talked with the guy that helped design the interior of the new headquarters.

With quantum computing becoming a viable reality within our lifetime, what prospects do you have for this emerging technology. Not only in fields which require such computing methods ,such as Genomic sequencing and calculations in physics, but also how it could effect the future of gaming. Will this technology allow for virtual reality to become more of a realistic? Also, what about the consequences of this technology? What will happen to the world if we build a quantum computer capable of hacking into almost any network, but fail to develop security measures against it? What will happen to online security? Etc... While it is amazing that we are proceeding further into a more technological advanced society, what about the potential risk and threats that come with it? Is this a Yay, Nay or Turnip for you?

I've got 182 pictures and need to make a slide show as quickly as possible. How might I go about doing that? Thanks!

I like the WAN Show, it's great. Even with it's constant technical issues, and the fact that it rarely starts 'on time' it tends to be great. Though most of the time it has news and info I heard earlier in the week, getting a different perspective on it is great. As well as the fact that Linus and Luke are are often able to go into more detail on a story with some technical knowledge or experience related to the topic. It is worth waiting for, whether it starts on time, or 20+ minutes late. But I think it can be better A bad part about the WAN Show is Twitch Chat. Twitch chat unfortunately in most cases, across most channels is a shit show. It is consistent of people posting ASCII art of Hitler or genitalia and what not, or people spamming the same useless text or message over and over in some vain attempt to be noticed on the internet. A big part of why this happens is that these channels are have no moderation, or very little. That coupled with the fact that productive members of chat rarely get acknowledged on-air causes a reduction in those people participating in the chat and making it positive and useful. As things currently stand it's not reasonable to expect Luke or Linus to do that because chat goes by so fast that it's barely worth reading for anyone that is an active part of the WAN Show's production, let alone other viewers in the chat. Here's where actual moderation comes into play, and it does not take much at all. This is an example for a channel I moderate (along with other moderators) And I should say right now. I am not campaigning to be a mod on the WAN Show. I am not around often enough for that to be reasonable, I have not proven myself in any way shape or form in regards to the LTT Community, and in the end, anyone can do this; 1. use R9KBeta: This command will prevent any user from posting a message containing the exact same text within 10 seconds of the same message being posted by themselves or anyone else. For example Bob notices that the WAN Show is late to start. So he says 'LinusLateTips' Jeff either notices this too, or notices what Bob said and tries to post the exact same thing; Twitch chat tells his message is too similar to another one. Jeff gets annoyed for a few second and is forced to use his brain and actively participate. This process is fairly passive. Jeff is most likely going to wait a bit longer, thing of something similar to say,and possibly more relevant and the fact that he said something different will encourage other people to ether talk directly to him, or about the new topic he started. For example, after Bob sends his message to chat, Jeff says 'I wonder why Linus is late so often, and why the intro sound is disabled, do they have a noise gate they don't know how to work?" Then Jeff and other members of chat are involved in a discussion about noise gates and streaming tech as they wait for the show to start. The majority of the arguments against R9KBeta are 'I can't say what I want to say' and the response to that is that 'If someone said it 10 seconds before you did in the exact same text, then it's not worth hearing, because it was already heard. Think it over and share a new perspective, be an active and mindful participant in the community. 2. Use Slow Mode This one is self explanatory in what it does, but it's use is massively underestimated in it's effectiveness. The channel I assist in moderating streams for an average of 7 hours on each stream 4 to 5 days every weak. Sometimes those streams go on for 9 hours. It's a gaming related stream, and on most streams maximum viewership peaks at 10,000 viewers and there are usually still 6000 left when the stream ends (which i usually at 3AM PST). It is often regarded as one of the most productive, welcoming and positive communities on all of Twitch and in the history of Twitch. This was occurring long before I even started watching it, let alone become a mod of it. The second biggest contributor to this is the usage of slow mode. Keep in mind that this channel is partnered and can easily be put into subscriber mode (I'll go into that next). All we do on most nights is do a quick judgement call based on how many people are present and how fast chat is moving and the basic guideline we follow is this: Is chat moving too fast for the channel host to follow and engage with his community? We watch him on screen and if we see his eyes darting back and forth between the game and chat, we can tell his trying to follow and having trouble so we slow it down without a word to or from him. Most of the time we have slow mode set to 30 seconds. Even with 10,000+ people present. It is very impressive how much forcing a person to think about what their saying for 30 seconds will change the dynamic of a discussion, allow for host to community engagement, and overall have a positive impact on the community. The usage of R9KBeta and Slow Mode set to a mere 30 seconds has an active group of ten thousand people in chat all having positive discussions among each other with almost no bickering or insulting occurring, and most of those are immediately resolved among the participants because the time they have to wait to talk again causes them to evaluate their words and the words of others. We as channel moderators rarely have to even say a word or lift a finger. The problem i solved in brief time it took for us to notice it. In 2 months I have had to perma-ban one single person for posting a link to an adult website and timeout another person for spamming a name in caps (he wanted the streamer to play as a certain character). Otherwise my actions have consisted of setting the amount of seconds applied to slow mode, enabling or disabling R9KBeta in certain cases, and preparing / posting straw polls in chat. 3. Straw Poll Straw poll is used often on the WAN Show, however just as often viewers are asked to spam "1" or "2" to indicate a choice. This is absolutely horrible and encourages bad behavior (spamming for example) A host asking people to spam a number is a clear indicator that they cannot follow chat and therefore they have lost control of the chat. If they are doing a live show and they lose control of their audience they have lost engagement. Keep control at all times. This is simply done by making people think about what their saying. Always use a polling service when soliciting the opinions of your viewership. StrawPoll is often the best choice because either the hosts or moderators can set it up and share the link within seconds. 4. Subscriber Mode The Wan Show does not have a subscriber button, however because it has all other partnered features it isn't exactly a hidden fact that this could be gained by Linus simply contacting Twitch, asking for it and immediately receiving it. If he asks for it, it will be given to him; that's a given. And if that happens that's great. It's extra revenue to provide higher quality videos more coverage, and if necessary, pay the salary of more staff, be they related to the WAN Show or any other facet of LTT/LMG. As to the usage of Subscriber Mode, using it sparingly is it's most effective use, and using it as a tool and not a thread or a method of disclusion (I made that word up) is it's most effective use. For example the channel I assist in moderating rarely uses subscriber mode. The only two times it is ever used is if the channel gets hosted and raided and we (as moderators) need to quickly re-establish control. In these cases because the existing community is so positive often all we have to do is turn it on for about 5 minutes and existing subsribers will continue talking and provide a few details for the newcomers who can't chat. Usually just forcing them to view the flow of discussion from current community participants is enough for them to get a handle on how conversation flows in the channel and they almost immediately become positive participants. Newcomers are frequently surprised by how orderly and positive discussion is in spite of so many people being present and sub mode being off most of the time. The second occurrence it gets used in is if the channel owner is playing an anticipated game or a game with some sort of new content or anticipated update. This attracts more viewers however it attracts more trolls. When the stream starts he advises the community that we will start in subscriber mode and apologizes for it. Why does he apologize? Because as he puts it every single time; 'It stops a lot of you really awesome people from talking to me and everyone else, and maybe you just can't subscribe, but you come here every night and support us just be watching. So I hate cutting you off like this" He then follows by reassures them that it is only temporary and the mods will be taking it out of slow mode multiple times to keep a handle on things and let more people talk as they (we) weed out the trolls. While the flow of his 'shows are different he regularly manages to engage directly with his community in spite of having 10,000+ people present on most nights. It is amazing how powerful it is to have someone mention you or another person watching the stream in a direct manner, and regularly. This does happen on the wan show however due to the fact that chat is an uncontrolled mess there. It does not happen as often as it could, or should. and this could easily change with two simple commands: /r9kbeta /slow 30 Usually after that you barely have to touch anything. If anyone from LMG is interested in knowing what this mysterious channel I keep referring to is, send me a private message here. I am intentionally not linking to it because I don't want to come across as advertising for him. If you find the time you can check out his stream when it's live and see how incredibly effective the moderation is, and how positive and engaged the community is in spite of it's size. The WAN Show is awesome. but it can be be better, and it should be better, and this can be accomplished easily. As always, I am looking forward to the next show. LMG is awesome. Thank you for all who took the time to read this incredibly long opinion.
