Thread For Tech Quickie Video Suggestions

[Master Disaster]

How about a tech quickie on the difference between RGB and Addressable RGB and how the 2 systems are not compatible with each other.

[Guest]

Or how about adding rash and cowboy behaviour to the list of "don't make these mistakes when building a p.c."... i mean cmon …. 3k machine with a 3 kg cpu cooler and still its being rocked and pulled aggresively on the building table like its some lightweight laptop device!!

I would love to see a video explaining PCI bifurcation. It's actually being used more and more recently since the introduction of affordable consumer M.2 raid cards like the Asus Hyper m.2 and the Asrock Ultra M.2. I've found plenty of posts online with people looking for information on it, but little to no information on either how to enable it. Most people have to go to extreme modding forums to find any decent documentation on it.

Plus, I'm in the SFF scene and you should see some of the amazingly small SLI ITX builds some people have made.

For those wondering what it is, it's the technology used to split CPU lanes in order to address multiple devices over one connection. PCI bifurcation can allow a single x16 slot to have 4 individually addressable x4 lane devices. or 2 x8 or 1 x8 and 2 x4 etc etc. And, like in my example above, you could split a single x16 PCI 3.0 port into to x8 PCI connections that would be able to support full GPUs or other such devices.

WHY IS MACBOOK WI-FI BETTER

[Quackerano]

As I've seen it being asked often enough online or in other places:

Magnets & Electronics: What's Safe, What's Dangerous, and Why?

 

e.g.:
Magnetic tipped screwdrivers for assembling your rig? 

Dropping a fridge magnet onto your motherboard?

The magnetic phone holders for cars?

Trying to pick your HDD up with a neodymium magnet?

What is the difference between all the different RAM types, buffered, ECC, ect.

 

[AndersT2]

What is Windows compability mode?

 

Couldn't find there was made a video on it, and espesially why it don't work (Never really got it to work for what it sounds like)

The difference between a televisions refresh rate and a computer monitors refresh rate (with and without interpolation). As well as including some TVs that have high hardware refresh rates can give different results when compared to the same in computer monitor form.

 

 

The video back in June of 2014 explained refresh rate in general. I'm not sure if a real 120 Hz TV would give me the same experience as a 120 Hz monitor.

Lets see if we can get this to the next tech quickie video!

Since Linus was so impressed with the Zero Gravity chair at CES I think he should visit MWE Lab or at least look at their products.  It's a company from Québec that makes Zero Gravity chairs, quite nice ones too.

What is rendering and why is it important?

Its not important, IMHO

 

Where we are at now if good enough. But there are too many home gamers who want to follow Linus' facial expression clickbait path.

How about how the Australian Fiber To The Node, Fiber To The Curb NBN broadband actually works, the difference and why it is an exceeding bad idea (let me give you a hint - bad, old, rotten copper phone lines that had issues with dial up and ADSL) .... and will make us a laughing stock ...yet again.

I would like a small explanation on HDMI with "ethernet" built in. What does that mean? How to utilize the ethernet?

Yes, to a great degree yes.

Intel Quick Sync explained (e.g. use cases). Might be a good time for that video with the Intel's new "F" processors coming up that have IGP disabled.

[bon_scott]

It would be nice to see a Techquickie or even an LTT video explaining the difference between Android Auto, MirrorLink and Apple Car play. The Line between mirrorlink and Android Auto is a bit fuzzy. I tried to understand how when you have an android auto enabled phone what apps will be avialable, does it depend on the car manufacturer or just if the app supprts android auto? In general this is a topic where i get the idea neither clients nor dealers really understand everything. Also youtube videos usually just limit themselves to show some Apple car play features.

 

BTW has anyone on the board ever tried android auto in a modern car with the feature enabled, what works and what can you actually do?

Why not review the Leap Motion. It can be used for cheap VR option and even Elon Musk uses it in SpaceX. So many applications for this without the need to carry a lot of sensors for motion detection as its all done with tracking your hands with infrared light
