I finally built myself an upgrade from the old Phenom x4 9750 computer I was using. The build consists almost entirely of used parts with a few re-used parts and a SSD I bought new but had been using in the old rig. Parts and prices as follows Case - PowerUp AK-27 Blue PSU - COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A1 650W ATX that was also used in that build. Mobo - I used a Dell Optiplex 790 mobo because it was only $18 shipped on eBay. I was not thinking about all the proprietary connectors and additional items I'd have to purchase that would make this mobo with it's required parts as expensive as a normal $40 mobo. I had to get the power switch, front panel I/O, case fan, and heatsink/fan from a Dell. CPU - I got an i5-2400 from eBay for $51 shipped. Ram - I got 4 2gb sticks of generic ddr3 from eBay for $20 shipped. GPU - I reused the Radeon HD 6870 I got from craigslist for $40 and had been using in the old rig. SSD - I got a 240gb Team Group L3 EVO from Newegg for $55 shipped that I had been using in the old rig. HDD - I reused my old 2tb 5900 rpm drive Here is a spoiler with some pictures and captions of where I came from and what I have now and a link to the full album that has a few extra pictures. http://imgur.com/a/CoyLg

Things Changing: I was in the process of mocking up the layout of the drawer PC build, Smokey Attempts: PC In A Drawer, and I realized that the mechanisms I need to implement that will allow the drawer to be extended without disconnecting wires will add upwards of 5cm to the total height of the drawer. A total of around 19cm is too much to fit under the desk. In addition, the width and depth of the mock up will have it too large to be a practical desktop. Unless I sacrifice looks for function. Something that, considering the extensive GPU modding, I do not want to do. I plan for more projects, some PC orientated and some not, so it is entirely plausible that I create a new blog, detail a more functional budget PC fitted into a drawer. In fact, I have already started to make plans for this, to the extent of mocking up a passive cooled solution. So here's the important part, I would like to know if swapping the current Drawer Build to... Smokey Attempts: PC On The Wall. Should I swap or not? I will add, if I don't get any comments then I am going ahead with the swap. Thank You :)

Hello.. Oh wandering wisp of the internet.. or should that be Edna the Evil TV? Sit back and relax, grab a tea, coffee or beverage of choice while I, your town crier, regale you on how Streaming Companies of Mordor have locked us all in to 1080 and stagnated the industry.. Skeptical? I don't blame you, its a large and sweeping claim.. but for balance.. remember how locked we were with DX9? that thing just would not die! until; we starved it to death. Hear ye! Hear Ye! Some time around.. oh 2010?.. we began to get HD content.. internet broadband was fast enough that spinning wheels were slowly disappearing all over YouTube and 'potato cam' of 240p was a thing of shame... Like coming out of a daydream and realizing you have been staring at your friend's grandmother's boobs, and look around and everyone is staring at you.. oh my! These Mordor companies need a wake up call that it's not okay to advertise 4K and not deliver on PC nor is it okay to drag everyone's eyesight down to Magoo levels because they don't have their stuff sorted with DRM. And that's their so called excuse.. DRM.. but that seems like more of a 'you problem' than a 'me problem'. It's not like I/we can fix the DRM for them! It's the 2020's.. and we are still streaming 1080 with our superfast broadband we pay a lot of money for. And don't get me started on how janky and early beta HDR PC streaming is.. Even on TV.. I have a 4K Smart TV with the appropriate apps.. looks downscaled 2K @24fps. I'm just not convinced. So.. is it okay to take the DRM out of 1080 and rip that? no? Why are we allowed 1080 then? Ah! because they had to! They didn't have a choice! We all had 1080 TVs.. and they wanted our money. Wait a minute! So why are they getting the choice this time? And don't we all have 4K TVs now..?? 10 years of 1080 is far too long and no one is saying anything. We are pacified and like Oliver with an empty bowl we meekly go up to them and say; please sir, can we have some more? Remember we pay for these services and media.. they don't just provide it for free.. flip even YT channels with a tiny fraction of these companies budgets give (imho) most users their first taste of 4K.. isn't that a failure on the companies part?? That even though their customers were paying for something their customers had to go elsewhere to get the content.. We get 1080p @24fps.. not even 1080 @ 60fps which is bad enough but a miserly 24fps. Oh how Fagan would cackle looking at their stock prices rise.. potato shame on all these companies.. *potato* I say sir! So if we want 4K streaming one of two things has to happen.. either we stop subbing to their service or another legitimate service streaming provider comes along and blows them out of the water by offering.. flip.. at this point I'll even take 2K@60fps. Here, in Scotland we have a tax from England on TVs called a TV Licence. It's money they take from ill-informed people. I refuse to pay it.. and so the law provisions that if I do not use terrestrial television, I need not pay for a licence.. meaning I am confined to certain catch-up & streaming services only. And even worse than this.. the BBC is a Unionist mouthpiece for the Tories, I am a Scottish Nationalist, there is no way I paying money to fund the BBC (except buying Doctor Who on iTunes). Evil Auntie Edna* sits there with a huge smile on her face; hoovering up all that lovely subscription money and dishing out Magoo vision to PC users. Aren't we the Master-race? .. well no. Not when it comes to getting these companies to cough up what is paid for and owed. I tried.. Kodi with the CDM extension... I tried Bluestacks with the Chrome extension.. I tried *every* browser that I could find. Nothing would give me greater than 1080@24. And in Kodi it was worse with some crazy 896p thing.. I dunno iirc. Now add to this to the new culture that these companies are introducing us to.. start a show then cancel. I am familiar with the idea of commerce.. if something is profitable then keep doing it.. however.. what if short changing us is more profitable? Would they just keep doing that? And what we have left is.. 8 to 12 episode runs of shows then cancelled that we watched in 1080@24fps for £120/€140/$160 a year. And there's the crux.. our *only* move is to unsubscribe.. they have us cornered and they know it. What they fear is mass unsubscription.. and would that really happen for an upgrade in resolution? So we queue up again for some more 1080poverty.. cash in hand. Like its 2009. peace Dava ---------- Evil Edna pictured right: Oliver Magoo: *Evil Auntie Edna.. allusion to Auntie Beeb = BBC

The story of Final Fantasy XIV is a pretty amazing one. It launched to much fanfare but soon players discovered the game was very lacking in pretty much everything. While the graphics were amazing the game itself didn't live up to the visual offering very little in the way of actual content. Most of the world was filled in with copy & pasted features so the graphics look great but you saw the same trees, the same fences, and the same buildings lined up as if they were put down by a stamping machine. Eventually, SquareEnix pulled the executive team behind the game and brought in new people who immediately went to work filling in the game's missing content. SE never charged players a subscription fee for the game and pledged not to do so until the game was fixed. In the end, the new Producer Yoshi-P. asked players whether they wanted them to fix the game or start over from scratch. The player community said to start over, and that is what SE did. The result is one of the most amazing redemption stories in the history of video games. Rather than just throwing the original game affectionately called 1.0 by fans completely in the trash, SE decided to use its failure to fashion the backstory for the new game commonly referred to by its player community as 2.0. Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn launched and in a few short weeks had over 1 million subscribers. Today the game has over 5+ million subscribers and is considered the #2 most popular MMO in the world right behind World of Warcraft. When 1.0 was in development, SE had planned on developing a Playstation 3 version. However, 1.0 failed and it wasn't until after 2.0 launched for PC that a PS3 version was developed. The PS3 was barely powerful enough to handle the game. Frame rates were low especially in visually intensive dungeon battles and raids, but what made FFXIV really stand out was the fact that console and PC players weren't segregated as they often are in other cross-platform games. The MMO brought players from both platforms together seamlessly and often you couldn't tell someone was playing on a PS3 unless you asked them, or when they complained about the lag. SE developed the Cross Hotbar which allowed someone with a controller play as smoothly as someone with a mouse & keyboard. The Cross Hotbar can be used on PC, the D-Pad and buttons on the controller (ABXY) corresponded to slots on the Hotbar and came in sets of two which you could select with the L2 and R2 triggers. This allowed console players to keep up with keyboard & mouse players on PC even during PVP. This was rather groundbreaking. A PS4 version finally arrived which runs much better and SE even ported the game to Mac with mixed results. When the 3.0 expansion called Heavensward launched SE released an optional DX11 client for the game and when the 4.0 expansion called Stormblood launches the game will be going 64-bit and PS3 support will be discontinued. Regardless, you do have to look at what SquareEnix did with some astonishment. They united two gaming communities who are historically often at one another's throats and achieve some level of equality. Due to the innovative Cross Hotbar console gamers are left behind by people using a keyboard & mouse. It is an accomplishment that I think the rest of the gaming industry could learn from when making other cross-platform games. That there are creative and innovative ways in which you can allow gamers from both platforms play together without one having an unfair advantage over the other. The Gaming Industry has a lot to learn from the story of Final Fantasy XIV. How SE saved the game from total failure and united two ideologically opposed gaming communities in such a seamless way that you don't really think about it when playing. You don't wonder if that Tank or Healer is on PS4 or PC, you just go with the flow. There are no markers on characters letting you know what platform they're on, that was a smart move by SquareEnix. You just play the game, no worrying about whether someone is using a gamepad or a fancy mechanical gaming keyboard. You often can't tell if they are and that is the beauty of what SE accomplished with this game. When a developer makes a cross-platform game they should look at Final Fantasy XIV for inspiration. While what SE used might not work for every game it may be able to give them the inspiration to come up with new kinds of innovative gameplay styles that allow gamers from both platforms to play together seamlessly without either side having a distinct advantage or handicap. As the gaming industry continues to push Sony to accept more cross-platform gaming in the future we'll need innovative new ideas to keep the playing field even fair for all platforms. --Michael C.

RAYTHEON "A Celtic ray of sunlight" Hey folks, I'm Ray. Welcome to a 20 minute read about me nerding out over building my first dream PC. Bit about me first, I grew up in the countryside as a kid and got my first Amstrad computer when I was 14. Played and modded the original Operation Flashpoint (2002) from demo to death then headed out into the big wide world of work. Trained for and ran my own graphics business which accidentally became successful which moved to London. With the big 3-0 rocking up I decided to pack it all in and go to University to chase my dreams of becoming an Architect, 5 years later here I am! I've watched LTT since the early days back in the house, loved the old car park unboxings and liked to think Luke & Linus taught me how to build a computer - Linus's review of the monster Asus G751 laptop turned into my daily driver at Uni. Now I'm an "adult", I mean now that I can afford this stuff, the laptop is a worn out render rig, I needed a new baby and decided its time to put my money where my mouth is and build my first PC ... I'm just a middle aged nerd who's never built a PC before so 'knowing what I was doing' was key before I even started sourcing parts. I watched and re-watched build logs from all over Youtube and developed an idea of how it's done - and not done. PC Parts Picker made me want to cry for my bank account but in Fall 2018, a post here on the LTT forums for advice, both gave me some great help on a starting parts list and confidence I knew what I was talking about. Quickly realising I was about 1000 short in the finance department with Christmas approaching I postponed until 2019. March 19' arrived, the old laptop was close to copping it every time I opened a 3D model, it was time to purchase the replacement. Using PC Parts Picker as a base for sourcing the parts, I made sure to pre-contact sellers I'd never heard of (some small but excellent shops in England), made sure I was buying from the Uk and populated a painfully expensive Amazon list. Moved the finances into place and began buying. This is where I hit my first snag. My bank flagged my account for suddenly spending thousands and blocked my card. Kinda makes sense when you think about it but easy to overlook - tell your bank before you start to avoid a sweaty panic and agonising wait in a phone queue. I kept track of the purchases, costs and shipping dates for each item. Made sure to check three times a day and know exactly where everything was. When you're playing with this much money you kinda have to. This was snag number two. Someone stole my Corsair 500D RGB case from an Amazon warehouse in Marseille, France. They re-stuck the label to an empty box which was delivered to me late. Enough phone calls later to Amazon and getting far enough up the chain to talk to an American head of service they fully refunded me and I over-nighted a new 500D case from the Uk. Amazon is easy, but cover yourself, theft does happen. With a large stack of boxes and curious house mates wondering when my time machine would be built, it was time to open all the presents! I'm super fortunate to live in a modest Thames side apartment so rearranged the sitting room to build the rig right there with that epic view. Setting out boxes in build order, tool locations, light, laptop for guides, bins and trays I was ready. First job was to strip down the 500D case, take the doors off and remove the Commander & Node Pro. For what ever reason I don't know, Corsair glued and 3M taped both units to the bottom of the case. When your a bit butter fingers being delicate at the start of a build the last thing you want to be doing is wrenching at a core part. After an hours battle with an old soapy credit card both were freed and set aside. From there it was pretty simple. Having a play-list already set up on the laptop of installation guides for each step, videos I'd watched many times over, I found I already knew my way around the hardware. Installed the H150i radiator first to get comfortable in the build and then moved onto the mobo. Something I did find whilst building was after years of watching LTT videos, the hardware in real life is actually a bit smaller than I realised. Weird point but valid. Felt smug using the mobo box as a stand and pushed myself through opening up and installing the i9 in the housing. It'd be too easy to make a 'careful not to drop it' joke but years of watching just that made me take extra care and place a towel around the bench, just in case I was a muppet. The M.2 970 Evo was simple to install, though a bit taxing making sure I didn't drop a screw. The Ram wasn't so simple. I thought it'd be easy to just click in but actually it required more push than I was comfortable with giving. All 4 sticks did eventually give and click into place successfully, man did it look good! Mounting the Motherboard was a pain in the butt! Trying to line up well over a thousand pounds worth of hardware in your hands with metal sticks without scratching up the back was one of the hardest parts of the build. I MacGyvered some thin cable ties to act as guides and after a good hour of careful in and out, managed to seat the board - first try! Knowing how much thermal paste to apply was a thoughtful moment. I'd decided to be brave and apply Kryonaut over Corsairs packaged circle. In the end I went with a video from Der8auer who spread it evenly as to maximise the full contact potential of the surface. The PSU went in easily as did the SSD, can't really mess that up, the fans went in properly facing the right way and I ran all the wires loosely to where I wanted them to sit. A BIG issue I discovered was my knowledge shortfall on what wire went where and did what. The AX860i PSU came with a bag of wires and a guide which didn't help at all. Genuinely thought it was going to beat me and I spent a good 12 hours out researching and learning, going back through build guides to figure it all out. Know how to power your rig properly, trying to learn it on the fly is hard! The main mobo connector would not fit in the motherboard, turned out the ax860i is 24 pin "only" meaning it was a 20+4 something, I wasn't too confident here but with a bit of tinkering it seated and ultimately worked so fixed it. A dumb snag I hit whilst cable managing at 2am, I went to trim a cable tie and cut the head off a fan wire. Much cursing and another 30 quid later (Amazon redeeming itself with same day delivery) I was back on track, after a decent sleep. Top tip - go to bed ... or don't drink and tie! The 500D case has a tight cable management system at the back but for my first time I was quite proud how it came out. The graphics card was an absolute beast, much heavier and slightly panic inducing in length until I measured it. Probably should have checked that at the start, you noob. With the all important RGB light strips in place and the doors re-hung I carried my new baby into its final resting place in the studio. After an Oscar worthy performance removing the protective glass plastic, the wires were plugged in and it was moment of truth time. I wish I'd read the part in the PSU manual where it says it tests the connection before it starts fully ... As a grown man I might have screamed a little when it cut out briefly before powering up. I let myself have that one ... Scroll forward 4 months to today. This machine is OP. Drone Lidar footage used to generate 3D rendered models used to take 30 hours to process, this monster does it in 15 minutes! Ai overclocked at 5.1ghz its a silent whisper even at full chat, if I manage to get it there. Vive VR daily doesn't touch it and I've yet to really stretch its legs despite throwing bonkers architectural renders at it which would have straight up broken previous machines or anything in the main studio. Hiccups have happened. Updating the Bios required me to use the manual Bios / USB update in the rear of the board and it does like to BSOD if you don't keep on top of windows updates. I recently installed a V1 Tech backplate and GPU bracket as the card had a notable 1 degree of droop on the far end, fair seeing as it weighs more than a London Bus! Looking to the future I'm thinking Corsair Hydro X or EKWB, second 2080 when they drop in price (lol Super Cards) and I'm laser cutting a few custom parts for fan covers and the front filter. The rig is about to feature in an Architectural event showcasing VR technology and beyond that it'll be upgraded to keep it at the sharp end of fun. Thanks for inspiring, teaching and supporting this build LTT. Thanks to you a total novice nerd built his dream PC, that's a pretty decent victory. Cheers, Ray Raytheon Glory Video 1.mp4

My journey started about 3 years ago in 2016. I had a WD PR4100 running Plex and it was super slow to transfer files to and had issues streaming more than 2 movies at a time. I had heard about FreeNAS so I took a really old AMD phantom II and am3+ motherboard and some old hard drives I had laying around and started playing with it. 11.1 was still in beta so I started off with 9 which worked quite well. “Once I had things figured out.” But the read and write speeds were a little slow for my liking but faster than the My Cloud. I had also heard about Unraid so went to try to install that and no matter what I did I couldn’t get it up and running. I also knew I would have to pay for it after I reached a certain amount of drives. So I decided to stick with FreeNAS. In 2017 right before I finished my testing 11.1 stable was released so I did some testing with that and decided to move forward with that build. Next came the decision to either stick with really old hardware or to get a rack server because I already had acquired a 42U rack (wife almost killed me when I came home with it). I came across a HP ProLiant DL360 G7 8-bay server with 2 6 core Xeon’s and 64gigs of ram for a really good price that I just couldn’t pass up. I pulled the trigger on that and decided that for the speeds I wanted to transfer things at I should put 2tb SSD’s in this unit. (Yes I know overkill). I also picked up an Intel x540t2 10gig NIC. I started off with 4 drives in a raidz setup. And I held onto the WD PR4100 for a bit and used it for a back up of the FreeNAS unit. Quickly I realized 4 Micron 1100 ssd’s wouldn’t last the year. I picked up 4 more thought about just adding them to the pool to basically make a raidZ2 but realized I needed the space more so I rebuilt the Pool. Thing made me realize how important it was to plan ahead. In the fall of 2018 after running into issues with the WD My Cloud not reporting a bad drive I decided it was time to build a secondary FreeNAS box that would house only Spinning rust drives that I could do nightly backup’s to. I picked up a Rosewill 4U case that came with 12 hot swap bays. Should have looked around more and gone with a Norco RPC-4220 case it’s about the same price. I had recently upgraded my dad’s tower so I had an AMD fx8350 and ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX laying around so in went that and now 8 4tb wd red drives. I also picked up a LSI SAS9201-8i card. I ran these 2 servers until the spring of 2019. That spring after looking at the usage data I realized I should just combine these into 1 server. Needed the cores of the xeon’s but I also needed at least 8 2.5” bays for the ssd’s in a hot swap. So I found a 12x2.5 hot swap 3x5.25 cage to put in the Rosewill case. I went with a Supermicro X8DTH-6F dual LGA1366, (2) Xeon x5690, 192 gigs of ddr3 ecc ram, LSI9201-16i, and 4 more ssd’s. This ran great struggled a little when I was editing video and Plex was transcoding 1080p to SD/720 when I had 4 people hitting the server at the same time from outside the house but never really slowed down noticeably. Found a bad cable in one of the SAS to SATA breakout cables went to replace that cable and replace the battery on the board because anytime the power was disconnected it would try to boot from a hard drive and not the flash drives. And the board wouldn’t start up. I spent 3 hours trying to figure it out. All I had was a blinking BMC light. And it wouldn’t start up at all. (We’ll get back to my stupidity in a bit) I decided that maybe it was time to make one finally upgrade because I was adding a LSI9201-16e to the server so I could just add disk shelf’s when I wanted to add more storage. (I’m a bad data hoarder). So being tired and frustrated with the server (up too early for kid’s football games). I drove the hour and ten to microcenter and picked up a 2920X, Gigabyte x399 Aorus pro atx and 128 gigs of GSKILL AEGIS DDR4 3000 ram. Unfortunately they didn’t have an air cooler so I did up having to order one from Amazon will be in Tuesday 10/22. I got home and started taking everything apart moving stand off’s to where they needed to be for the new motherboard and taking picks of all the parts I know was working perfectly to sell to try and recoup some money from the new parts I had bought. I looked at the motherboard carefully thinking maybe it was a capacitor or something that finally went. And I was going to try and just replace that to get it working again to sell. I then noticed the pins for the power switch, restart, and stuff had a label next to them. I remember looking the manual super carefully and the manual had it numbered 1 to 20 bottom to top. I thought that was weird but most motherboards are. Well the label on the board its self showed it numbered 1 to 20 top to bottom. So at 10pm Sunday night not being able to just let things go I plugged the board into a known good power supply put the CPU’s back in and put the coolers back on with a stick of ram in each. I then waited for the BMC light to turn on and low and behold after a second or two I was able to short the pins that were labeled power switch and it turned on and went to the bios no problem. After some back and forth I decided to continue forward with the Threadripper figuring that using a processor on a 14nm with a lot more cache with higher clock speeds is worth the upgrade. Things learned: Always look at the motherboard carefully when building it may be different than the manual Never jump the gun to replace something just because you’re tired and frustrated. It could be something stupid Never bring a 5 year old to Microcenter you’ll want to rip your hair out. Lol.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with an AMD A10-5800K which was giving me some high temps while gaming, something around 70-75° with the max temps of the CPU being around 75°, obviously when the CPU reached this temps it would shut down. This build isn't mine and it's one of those "mini PCs" with small cases and everything is kinda cramped, and there was quite a little bit of dust inside, even though I'm not the owner I decided to clean it. After cleaning and taking out some dust it didn't get much better so I tried replacing the thermal paste, it wasn't Arctic MX4 quality or anything like that instead it was some #@*$ low quality paste made in the country that there was in the house, as expected it didn't get much better but it dropped like 5° so now I was gaming at 65-70° or so. This was like a week ago. A week passed, I wasn't having any troubles with the computer shutting down until today while I was playing it "restarted", fans were running but the computer wasn't booting. First I tried removing one stick of RAM which seemed to work but after opening two programs (Discord and Firefox) it turned off and wouldn't boot once more. I cleared CMOS because nothing seemed to work and it booted, even though now because of the reset the fan wasn't running at full speed like it was previously I opened a game to test and the computer turned off again, Open Hardware Monitor was showing temps around 50° before this so at this point I'm not even sure if it's the CPU temp, I cleared CMOS once again because it wouldn't boot and it booted, I turned it off and left it there so I could try to find any solutions online. Just now I was about to test the memory with memtest86 but now the PC is not booting again and nothing that I do seems to make it want to boot, this PC is not mine and kinda makes me feel bad that this happened while I was using it so, any ideas or possible solutions?

I've had to make repairs to my phone a couple times, screen cracked once from a drop on tile. Then during that repair (screen for~$80, think I got lucky), the fingerprint sensor ribbon connector on the motherboard of the phone broke, after about six months I bought a parts only phone with a cracked screen for ~$110 and transferred good motherboard to frame with good screen, boom fully functional Pixel 3 XL. As a cautionary message, the ribbon cable clamps, that the fingerprint sensor uses, are very fragile unlike the lego style connectors that every other connection in the phone uses. My total repair cost would have less than $100 if not for that fragile connector. As to the back glass mod, I had almost a whole phone's worth of spare parts so I started scratching the paint away and around the NFC coil, as that is adhered to the glass and cleaned the adhesive off the parts that are exposed, plenty of double sided adhesive tape later its all together and clear like Tom Cruise. Both phones work too, so now I'm just looking for ideas for more mods, any ideas?

So I recently made this website by the name of TECHDDICT. It's still in a free version of wix. I just wanted some suggestions through which I can improve my site before putting some money on. The site is basically a TechBlog. https://developersung.wixsite.com/techddict

Hi, So I am making a tech blog where i'll be posting articles about different things related to tech. But I just can't think up of a unique name for a unique .com domain. Any suggestions (i'll also be making a logo based on that name) (it has to be unique so i can get a domain name easily)

Google is de-listing blogs on its Blogger platform that do not conform to its new adult content policy Looks like Google isn't allowing the visible use of porn on their Blogger platform, at the very least they are making all such pages 'private' and only letting people who already subscribed/were shared the content to view it. Do I agree with this? Not really. Porn isn't some dark art, blocking its usage and consumption and what Google is doing is more or less censorship. Oh well, Google can do what they wish with their own platform. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/11431413/Google-bans-explicit-images-and-videos-from-Blogger.html

Hell Hath no fury like a scorned employee Chris Messina, A developer who spent three years helping create Google+ has written a brutal blog post declaring the tech giant's social network a failure. Former Google+ developer says the social tool has failed Chris Messina, a former google employee & UX designer for Google+ who left Google over a year ago to join a startup. Before that, he had worked on the short-lived Google Buzz social product, then Google+. You might know him because he's known as the inventor of the every so hated but popular phrase #HashTag! Chris Messina former google employee & Part time Ryan gosling impersonator.. He wrote that while it was being developed under the code name "Emerald Sea," Google+ was internally being called "Google Me." The idea at the time, he said, was to make the site a sort of home base for users, where they would decide which information they'd like to share about themselves and with whom they'd like to share it. From his Point of view , Google missed a chance to make the service a one-stop home for its users' online identities and, instead, created a less-popular Facebook copycat. (can you say he's wrong) post was a follow-up to a tweet in which he had mistakenly called out a bug on Google+ that was actually caused by an external app. Even as he corrected himself, he called out Google for the network's missed opportunity.(hence the quote) He later claimed in a post that he wasn't actually targeting Google plus But was more concerned about users privacy, His rant summed up in 10 points: Can't figure out what Google+ is for Can't tell if Google is "worried" about Facebook, Snapchat, or Pinterest Google+ doesn't aggressively "control" your digital identity Google+ is "Facebook lite" something the world doesn't need Google+ should have improved social networking by 10x, but didn't It doesn't sufficiently "motivate people to store more information with Google Google+ is confused and adrift at sea Google+ isn't evolving, changing and getting new features fast enough Doesn't know what Google+ is better for than Facebook Unlike Pinterest, which "helps you express your aspirational self," Google "pigeonholes you into what you already are" Damn straight.. Mostly he's been channeling his hate towards facebook somehow, he thinks that facebook shouldn't be up front for controlling everything, he's disappointed because Facebook, with its more than 1.3 billion users, needs competition. Messina wrote that innovation appears to be slowing for the Web tool. In a chart,(you can see it inthe blog page half way through it) he said Google+ and Hangouts, its well-liked video chat tool, have been updated with six apps each in 2014, compared with 15 for YouTube and 16 for Chrome, both of which are also Google properties, and 19 for Facebook, 29 for Instagram and 33 for Twitter. He said that G+ Failed mostly because It was a functional search-oriented value proposition for the user rather than a social networking one. in his words quote "It was like Google was saying, "We're going to be your trusted partner in cyberspace, and we'll help you surface the right information to the people you choose, at the right time" Pretty cool rant imo , But way too exaggerated in a way , maybe this will give g+ aspotlight for a few moments before it's forgotten again.. Please do Leave Your thoughts & Comments down Below... You can read the full rant over here in his blog: bit lengthy imo https://medium.com/@chrismessina/thoughts-on-google-8883844a9ca4 News was posted by CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/01/tech/social-media/google-plus-problems/index.html

I welcome everyone's feedback. I wrote this blog from my own knowledge and experience.These are my own personal views of two of my favorite tech channels on youtube. I dedicate this blog to Linus Sebastien and Logan Hale. http://dalihdgaming.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-2013-youtube-techie-awards-are-here.html .

I want to blog on a real site because I have many thoughts that some of my friends on here have told me they find interesting. I don't know, I guess I'm not as dumb as I think (look). Anyone know of any good blogging sites? This is an example of something I want to blog about: I saw this show a few years ago and I think it can answer what happened during the 20 years between the events in The Last of Us. I plan on making a blog about The Last of Us and what parallels it draws with humanity today, my predictions for a hypothetical worldwide catastrophe, and what things would look like without human contact for 20 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XDbcMND7fY

Hi guys! I am PatoWazHir (Pato), some years ago, I started a project called FriGeeks, a page focused on gaming/technology/otaku/general interests.. The project originally started in Spanish, but we discovered the great market that the English language market offers. We've found that is really hard to compete and to maintain the interest of the viewers, but we've done our best. Our projects consist in: YouTube Channel with gameplays, reviews, comments and unboxings. Online radio broadcasting. A vivid and rich blog page A lively Facebook page Support to the community and Feedback: Tutorials and General help. Right now, our Facebook page is going really well, with over +500 likes we've seen some support from the audience, the blog page however, has a small number of posts, mainly because it hasn't received as much traffic as we expected. Obviously that won't keep us from writing more reviews and news! We're looking for guys interested in the Geek theme, that want to share their knowledge and participate within our little family. Also, we'd like some feedback or opinions from your part, every comment is welcome! Thanks for reading PatoWazHir FriGeeks Staff Links: - www.facebook.com/frigeeks - frigeeks.wordpress.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/FriGeeks P.S.: Some content is still in Spanish, but that'll change in the next weeks. Anyone interested feel free to send an email to frigeeks@live.com, or send us a Message in Facebook, also you can PM me to my personal Facebook account: PatoWazHir
