Any metal heads out there? Most importantly any maggots here? Simply answer below your top 5 bands / songs. I’m curious what you all listen to!

Hi, I'm planning to buy a sideboard from ikea (see picture) and I'm concerned about possible connectivity issues with my ps5 due to the sideboard being out of metal mesh. Does anyone have any information about connectivity issues with Bluetooth and WiFi on a ps5 in a metal mesh box? Cheers

I want to make a case for an iPhone out of solid metal. It will be more like an exoskeleton covering the corners that join at the back roughly forming a cross(X). There will be a tpu gasket between the case and the phone. Q1. Is it possible? (I guess it is because there exist some so then my question would be what problems would that cause to communications like NFC, Bluetooth, Phone call, Internet, wifi or hotspot etc. I know metal will affect them but to what degree?) Q2. How much will those problems be mitigated if I use metals that are not so good conductors like titanium or some alloy? Finally Q3: If say it is possible to make one and the problems caused won't significantly affect daily usage to the point where it's noticeable, will it be possible to add wireless charging(specifically Magsafe) through that? Like, say the cross-shaped case(made of titanium) has a circle at the center and that circle houses a circular magnet or whatever that metal is in the iPhone or Magsafe puck? (This is out of genuine curiosity, if I ask or say something absurd please do excuse me) Inspiration: gray phone case

I grew up playing the Twisted Metal games, in recent years the only game Ive been able to play that vaguely resembles it is a game called CrossOut. CrossOut isn't terrible, but even it is extremely dated at this point and even on maxed out settings it easily maxes out the game's engine limitation of 300 FPS, still not utilizing my new GPU at 3440x1440p. Plus its one of those Free To Play games with EXTREMELY slow progression if you don't give into purchasing new vehicles. Ive been playing CrossOut for quite a lot of years and yet I basically haven't progressed whatsoever as far as my build goes for the past few years. Admittedly, I got bored of the lack of progression and stopped playing for a year or two and just decided to jump back on the other day. Still though, the lack of progression is very real - its Like when you get to the higher tiers in World of Warships, only a million times worse and this progression halt happens at like tier 3-4 instead of tier 8-9. Its been fun jumping back on these past few days but its obvious almost nobody plays anymore, every lobby is about 50% bots and 50% players. So, any modern alternatives that anyone knows of?

Ive installed my cpu, ram and cpu cooler into my case but due to an issue with one of my motherboard screws I've ended up almost de-heading the screw of its philips head as it wouldn't budge which has resulted in metal shards being visible on the m.2 heatsink (shield frozr on mag b760 tomahawk wifi ddr5) What's the best way to deal with this situation? I'm going to return the motherboard anyway as its faulty but what about the ram and cpu cooler (deepcool ak620 so 2 fans, 2 radiators(??? Not sure of the definition). I'm concerned that metal could have got into the components. Is it advisable to use a hoover? Thanks,

So, after the release of M1 Pro/Max chips and recent benchmarks, Apple suddenly has a lot of raw power to support AAA games. How do you think Vulkan vs Metal competition is going to pan out? With the new chips, Apple got rid of their old bottlenecks in gaming which are; poor cooling and throttled Intel chips. Which I think was the main reason Apple was so behind with the game industry With M1 chips there is no heat related throttling and we have an absurd amount of GPU power. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performance-review From what I understand, from now on, the only bottleneck in letting AAA title game devs adopting MacOS, is Apple itself. What do you think?

Hello, I want to put my PS4 on a metal filing cabinet like this: I am wondering if this is a safe thing to do, as the filing cabinet isn’t as sturdy / more prone to vibration than wood. Thanks.

I heard that the contest is officially not happening, so I just wanted to show what I made for it ROG and LTT Like many obsessed others, as soon as I didn't win ROG Rig reboot 2021, I started planning my 2022 entry. Luckily I was 1 of 4 named honorable mention, which gave me even more drive to enter. The programs that I need and want to learn are pretty strenuous for my computer but I wanted to make art so bad, so I went for it anyway. So I am a metal worker but aspiring metal artist and half way through this year I learned how to use a plasma table, from programing to finished product. The first things that came to my mind to make, was stuff for my entry video. 20221205_155016.mp4 I made an ballin' LTT spinner painted silver and gold with fake diamonds glued to it and the chain is a 4mm thick chrome chain. Also I made another orange logo necklace and 4mm thick polished stainless LTT logo I made a ROG Rig Reboot light box that has the logos of the sponsoring brands. Made out of 24g galvanized metal, 22g perforated metal and some paint. Some other things I made for the video was a command and conquer sign, golden n64 logo, "trust me bro warranty" sign, custom minecraft diamond swords. And a "Starcraft, star wars, starfield" sign. Why did I make these? for fun, to try and set me apart from other people and well I like all that stuff, so now I have it. Then I went from flat signs to 3d sculptures. Now, I didn't make these "for" the video but I wanted them done for the video so I can show why I want a new pc and what ive learned. My life sized metal Austrian sheep dog, GOT Wolf head mount. And my sliced art which is bulbasaur and a storm trooper head. Also a picture of my little set up I was working on Sure some of it is a bit scuffed, but im learning. Everything was built on my break or by going in early. I loved the rig reboot and I used it as a reason to push myself to be better in art and video. Machines are expensive, computers are expensive, so is life. (I'm having troubles uploading the pictures in one post, so you'll see them below)

Hey all, I am trying to get WiFi into a metal outbuilding. The building has windows, and the signal kinda pierces, but the back half of the shed has no signal. The shed is about 50 feet away, and poking a hole in the side of either the house or the shed is not an option. It is a fully insulated space for for staying in for extended periods comfortably. Will a repeater work at a window where the wifi signal has a few bars? Should I go mesh? Or is there a stronger WiFi router I can use? I am using a TP link Archer AX6000.

Here are the ones listed from Apple's doc: AMD Radeon RX 560 AMD Radeon RX 570 AMD Radeon RX 580 AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 AMD Radeon Frontier Edition Will they all work fine with Metal? There was a section that specifies a specific model, but I wonder if anything changed in the last decade I'm helping a co-worker due to Teradici (PcoIP) version 20.04 not working on his Mac Pro running on High Sierra.

I'm trying to develop a Swift menu bar app that switches between the iGPU and the dGPU of a MacBook Pro. I've got the menu bar part right, but can't get the GPU switching working. I tried to have a look at some examples and compare code. I tried to use: let defaultDevice = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() but it doesn't seem to do anything. All I want is for the dGPU to activate when I select the dGPU option in the menu, and for it to deactivate when I select the iGPU option. I understand that there is already an app to do this but it is quite old, forces the one GPU or the other (instead of simply requesting it), and I would prefer to do it myself in a leaner package. Any help will be appreciated.

Another item to add to the list of things I probably don't need but would really like to have... Desktop Metal has announced some details as well as pricing behind it's new 3D metal printers, which will supposedly print objects out of different alloys of steel, aluminum, titanium and copper. These parts are supposed to be similar in quality to more traditional injection molded items. From the Tech Crunch article: https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/25/desktop-metal-reveals-how-its-3d-printers-rapidly-churn-out-metal-objects/ As for pricing, the Desktop Metal Studio system will ship in September and cost $120,000 to purchase or $3,250/month to rent. The Production system will ship in 2018 and cost $480,000 to purchase. I can think that this will be great in hospital applications if the printed objects are medical safe. Otherwise, I would just like this to play around with, but I definitely don't have a spare $120k laying around to play with... Maybe Luke and Linus can get one to play with in the studio... Just think of all the camera mounts they could make or other pieces of unique computer brackets and bits and pieces...

Hi folks! I am new to LinusTechTips forums since I mainly watch them on YouTube so I apologise if this question has been asked already. Basically in the Easter break I am planning on making my own gaming "laptop". I use the term loosely since it is basically a small portable computer with a monitor and mouse/keyboard attached and an external Pico Power supply. Don't know how to get a battery in there. The specs will be an Intel Pentium G3420, 8gb ram, and a gtx 1050Ti. I have the measurements for everything and it will be mini-ITX. I wanted to use some aluminium sheets from Amazon like this: 3mm Black ACM Sheet A4 297 x 210 Dibond Aluminium Composite Sign Making Sheet. The size of the sheet is 297 x 210 and is 3mm in thickness. The holes will be 3 different sizes: 3.5mm, 6mm, and 5.5 to 5.8mm. Would it be possible to use a normal hand drill for this? My dad already has some tools and I was going to ask his help with the project or if I can borrow them. If not I would take it to a DIY shop and ask if I can pay to have it custom drilled for me. Not sure if that's possible but worth a try! That is for the base of the case. I am making a custom case for my components. I will be using a Pico PSU and an external laptop charger of 195 watts also from Amazon. My screen that I am using is Vesa-mountable so I will be using a vesa mount hinge to fasten it to the case or just a normal hinge with a custom made mount and paint the whole thing. I will be using some sheets of perforated anodised aluminium for the walls which will be screwed somehow to the lid of the case. The whole thing will use passive cooling and rely on stock coolers since they are low end components. I will then get a small wireless all in one keyboard/touchpad combo and use Velcro to fasten it to the top. I'm using a PCIe riser card to allow the GPU to sit on its side and there will be a hole at the bottom covered by a dust filter to allow ventilation along with a hole at the top to allow ventilation for the CPU which will use the stock Intel cooler. I may add in a slim line dvd drive as well if there is room. Storage will be an SSD and later on possibly an M.2 ssd if I can upgrade eventually. Basically I was wondering about the drill and if it is safe to drill through that amount of metal. I will get 2 sheets - one for the top and one for the bottom and use the perforated aluminium for the sides except for where the I/O is and so on. Many thanks in advance!

I am looking for some recommendations for some headphones. Budget is roughly $200 US. Wouldn't mind spending more if I could get a bit better sound but trying to stay below $200. I have never owned a pair of headphones more than 40 bucks. I have been looking at grados labs 235e as some reviews have said they sound good for metal but I do not have access to a pair to listen. I have also looked at the audio technica ath-m50x which people rave about but I am not sure how the difference in sound stage would be for the music I listen to, which you name it sub genre wise in metal I probably listen to it. I will be using these doing research and reading so I do not care about sound leakage. Thanks in advance!

Okay, so what happened is that my PC was running and I wanted to check something on the back of my motherboard with a magnifying glass (made of metal). I accidentally touched the metal part on the back that is behind the processor. This is the part I touched (not my mobo on the picture, only there for reference): Nothing happened, the pc is working fine. Is it possible I damaged something?

http://newatlas.com/desktop-metal-3d-printing/50654/ The Studio system makes rapid, affordable metal prototyping much more accessible than ever before, using a huge range of cheap, safe and easily handled materials and producing high-quality parts that can be tested properly. The entire integrated system and associated software retails for US$120,000, where an equivalent laser system will run you more than US$1 million – and that doesn't take into account the safety and materials handling overheads the laser systems require.

Hi everyone ! I'm searching an audiophile Supra headphones for sedentary use. Do you have some ideas (budget :1000€/$) for a Metal listening. Moreover, what do you think about the HD700 or 650 from Sennheiser for this type of use ? Do you have some DAC to propose too ? Thanks

Hey, so It's pretty straight-forward. I want to compose music (different styles of Metal to be more exact) and I'm looking for the best program for the job. I own no instruments, so I need it to have some sort of a library (or it could be a downloadable library or sth of that sort) with different kinda of instruments and different settings for them. Can anyone recommend me something? Thanks in advance! Free > Paid, however you can suggest paid options as well. P.S. Quality / realism is appreciated, my pc can handle it.

The thermals on this card have been out of control recently, hitting 99 degrees in csgo consistently without any oc. So I took it apart to apply some liquid metal and I noticed it's silver. I don't want to destroy an aluminum heat plate with liquid metal but it's the only thermal paste I have on me atm. One random guy on the internet said it's nickel plated copper but there's no official information I can find on this topic from msi or written reviews. Please help.

Hello! Some time ago I purchased a Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal, don't ask why... Now I had the idea of putting it into my MacBook Pro from 2017. Is that even possible and if so, is it dangerous? Because I have heard that liquid metal doesn't like some materials... Do you think it is worth it? Thanks a lot! Michael
