Hi everyone. Something I've noticed over the last year or so is how inconsistent LMG are with their investment disclosures. These disclosures are often short or easily missed, and in ShortCircuit videos (at least the ones I've seen) they aren't mentioned at all! As frequent viewers are aware, Linus invested in Framework 2 years ago and has been posting fairly frequent updates on the main channel. They also committed to disclosing the investment in any videos that cover laptops since Linus has invested in their competition. While they have been disclosing the investment in LTT videos, the disclosure is oftentimes placed towards the end of a video and/or mentioned in passing. In some ShortCircuit videos on laptops, this isn't mentioned AT ALL. In the AliExpress laptop video posted to LTT last week, the investment disclosure was made at 19:30 in a 22 minute video with Linus briefly saying "investment disclosure" in the middle of a run-on sentence about USB and CPU power management. This disclosure would be easy to miss if you're not looking for it and many viewers don't make it 20 minutes into a video. While this may seem incredibly nit-picky for frequent viewers who are already aware of the investment, this does not serve as an adequate disclosure of a potential conflict of interest, especially for newer viewers. What isn't acceptable though is completely missing this disclosure on other channels. The XPS 15 video on the 28th July and the Hyundai laptop video on 5th October do not mention the framework investment at all. The Hyundai video hilariously even includes an MSI sponsorship which mentions "Looking for a laptop for next semester? Well they've got those!". In a video about another company's laptop. While ShortCircuit videos aren't necessarily reviews, they are first impressions that are used as information for purchasing decisions. While it is often another person on-camera, the video is still on a channel owned by LMG and is thus owned by Linus, who has also invested in Framework. Despite it being on a different channel with a different presenter, this still constitutes a conflict of interest and MUST be disclosed. I don't want to attribute to malice something that could easily have been missed, but giving consumers the financial context behind the content they're watching is vitally important on all channels owned by LMG. Content creators on YouTube are already required, by law, to disclose any advertising in their videos in clear and obvious ways. These standards should also be followed for potential conflicts of interest originating from financial investments. It doesn't have to be anything long or overly wordy, but a brief "Hi, I invested into Framework, a competing brand that also manufactures laptops. Do with that information as you wish" at the start of any laptop video would be much better. It's clear, concise, and crucially, at the start of the video. This way it cannot be missed. While I, for the most part, trust LTT to not allow the Framework investment to colour their laptop content or reviews; the disclosure is vital for transparency in an increasingly opaque media landscape. Unfortunately this is a discussion adjacent to conflict of interest in the tech influencer space in general (i.e. reviewing or featuring products from companies that are paying for sponsored ad space, even if the ads are placed on other videos) and has lead to an atmosphere of "trust me bro" in the industry. While I have been able to trust some of these people through their great track-record, limiting conflict of interest is still vitally important. Addressing CoI doesn't mean that the sketchy collusion is happening, but we should want to limit the circumstances where they COULD happen. In turn that will limit the circumstances in which they DO happen. I want to trust LTT, I've been here since the GTX 580 days (damn, it's been 12 years), and I'm aware that there are many other problems that need addressing right now. I don't want to just jump into a dog-pile but making clear and obvious investment disclaimers is a consumer-friendly change that will give people vitally important context into the content they're watching. If I've got anything wrong I'm sure people will let me know and I welcome any corrections. Otherwise I hope this feedback finds the right people

Summary Greyscale a major bitcoin holder has now entered into the realm of ethereum Quotes My thoughts Ethereum will really begin to take off with such a major player stepping into the game. Also just to make sure this is on the up and up I do own BAT and MANA however this news story encompasses lots of other coins and will be a major catalyst for Ethereum adoption.

Source: Reuters I think the article better serves this than my own opinion, so I'll quote them The important bit here is the bottom line that the G20 set - cryptos shouldn't be restricted further. While not significant, as this isn't a statement that actively favors the space, just that phrase ran the asset prices 10% (actually the chart shows a run of around $350 or 4.7%) in just under an hour.

I'm (seriously) eyeing the motorized UpDesk for a raising/sitting desk. But it's really really expensive; 1,049$ for the largest size (the size I want). But it's not like going smaller is going to help, it's only 200 bucks cheaper for the smallest size. And I need space for multiple monitors. (link: https://myupdesk.com/powerup/seriesIII/black-large) For some people a price like this is completely unreasonable, they don't have money to spend on a desk when it could be spent on other things, like PC parts. There's always something more useful that could be bought for a thousand bucks. But for me, I'm currently in high school, and will be starting college in a little over a year. My plan at the moment is to do 3D graphics. I've been doing them for two years already, and expect to still be doing them 20 years from now. This means that a desk is going to be a very long term investment, especially since they don't break very often (desk comes with a 5 year warrenty as well). I'm very aware that if I continue to sit in a chair at a desk for the next twenty+ years for ~8hrs a day, my health is going to suffer. I know standing desks aren't a magical cure all your problems; and I know that standing 24/7 is probably just as bad as sitting 24/7. From what I've researched, the killer is just staying still. Regardless of position, sitting/standing in the same spot for long periods is bad. This is what has motivated me to seriously consider a raisable/lowerable desk as a long term investment. I have already tried a standing desk, via stacking my two monitors and peripherals on various books and boxes, and like it quite a lot (and the cables all reach). I'm not worried about getting a standing desk and never using it because I hate it. Honestly the most annoying part of it is the 3 minutes or so it takes to move all the boxes off my desk and reset all my stuff to sitting position. Versus the 10 seconds it would take to raise or lower the Updesk. As for cost, this desk is probably possible for me to buy (my parents are also supportive, and would pitch in), but isn't a cheap purchase, and I wouldn't be buying expensive things for a while. I should note that I am happy with my current computer setup and don't foresee computer purchases in the near future. And also that a car is already taken care of; I would not be buying a desk before I had a car (priorities are straight ) Should I seriously consider building one/getting someone to build it for me? I have some woodworking/building/mechanical relatives, and I could definitely pay one of them to make a desk of the same size and with a motor to raise and lower for a much lower price. But I really like having the quality and assurance of buying something from a company that has had all minor annoyances figured out and a custom display to raise and lower with presets, etc. Are these desks worth it? Especially considering the longterm investment and usage? Are there similar desks (motorized and similar size) that are cheaper or better than the Updesk? (I already have looked on Craigslist and Ebay, nothing really looks that good) To anyone who has one: Do you like yours? Was it worth it? Edit: Thanks to whoever moved this into the peripherals section. Didn't think it classified as a peripheral.

Well the rumour started yesterday, but when I saw it I thought there was no need to makes a fuss about it, mainly because people here would not understand it fully and it would generate a mess and desinformation... But it seems like more rabbits are comming out of the hole. Apparently AMD is going to receive a capital injection, from who is not sure yet but the latest claims point at Silver Lake (a tech investment company with - pardon my french - fuck tons of money that already invested in Dell, Motorola, Alibaba, etc). The funny part is that the early rumours pointed out as for INTEL to be the ones investing in AMD... the plot thickens. There's people connecting the dots, almost pointing has Intel influenced Silver Lake decision. Who knows? Only them. Either way, it's good news for AMD but anyone informed saw it coming a mile away - not who would do it (several companys were mentioned, like Apple and Samsung), but it was coming Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/news/processors/38694-private-equity-to-get-20-percent-of-amd

Hi everyone, so in one or two month I will ask for money for an investment on a webapp project I want to work on for 1 year. I have though I will make a small web with detailed information about this project, to protect it more (Because I will post it on an Spanish forum, cause... I'm from Spain), I though to put a Facebook Login to the website, and they need to insert an email (And of course they need to activate a checkbox agreeing they will not use the information inside the website), and then when I check everything is correct, I will send them a notification his account has been actived to enter to the website and see the project. How many information would you show to them? I mean... Is there a rule or something? I need your opinion, Internet is full of documentation and Nigerian Princes but what do you think? I don't want to screw it up because I think the idea is excelent (Well... I mean... is mine so I see it trough my eyes... ). Thanks! Also, If you can comment if my login/protection methods are too restrictive or weak say it please Have a good day!

Venture Capitalist Says We Have Entered a Tech Bubble Source: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-05/this-venture-capitalist-is-willing-to-say-we-re-in-a-tech-bubble It seems we are in a high risk high reward market when it comes to investing in technology companies. I am no expert on the matter but alot of these companies do seem to be inflated for what they offer, service. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next 5 to 10 years. what are your thoughts on this bubble?

When you invest heavily on a top tier product like a Monitor/CPU/Graphics card/Water coolers/additional components and just few weeks or even months later, a newer better product comes along :wacko: with price drop on the same category and better perfomance and your pricey investment loses value to you comparitively! <_< and is kind of outdated... especially on mid range products when the price drops after you make the hard bargained purchase with the heavy amount of cash that you've come up with! and you could've bough a better perfoming newer component for the same price.with marginal time frame Post about how you feel about this and add your vote plus, add your thoughts on how you invest on tech stuffs and advices Eg: GPU : GTX Titan <GTX 780 < GTX 780Ti < GTX Titan Black < GTX Titan Z (feb 2013) (may 2013) ( Nov7 2013) ( feb 18 2014) (this month) an angry hidden ninja

A report came out recently from Minnesota governor Mark Dayton's Task Force on Broadband. This report recommends investing 100 million dollars of the state's surplus towards infrastructure to rural communities without adequate internet access. Although this is not gigabit. They call 10mbps adequate. That being said it is fiber. Is 10mbps enough? Should they be investing in a higher speed? 100mbps? Gigabit? What are your thoughts LTT forum. http://blogs.mprnews.org/ground-level/2014/01/state-should-put-100-million-into-broadband-fund-says-task-force/
