Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Hi Linus, i am currently studying to be a game artist and am looking into buying a surface book 2, Purley for its touch screen and folding capabilities, i need it for painting and drawing on Photoshop and using 3d modelling software such as 3Ds max so that i can do work on the go and at home. I was wandering if you could do a video about these touch screen type laptops comparing them and similar products so i can find out weather i should save up for a surface book 2 or a cheaper alternative or even something completely different.

Posted February 28, 2020 Could you create a video that's a deep dive into gaming and professional hardware compared to regular non branded items? I am tired of having to explain to people that just because it is advertised for gaming doesn't mean it can't do other stuff and that in most cases the gaming hardware is going to hold up better than cheaper items. It would be nice to have a video to just link to that shows examples of this. Like of course gaming chairs are bogus so would be nice to have a roundup video of all the things. Where the cost goes, if the quality can be better, why gaming related features would be beneficial and not something to run away from etc. Creator Of That Awkward Silence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 4, 2020 You should review this program serviio. https://www.serviio.org/ this program is amazing it's way better then plex. serviio "Serviio is a free media server.

Posted March 11, 2020 I'd love to see Linus screaming at his hard drive array (spinning drives) and showing the error rates. Kindof like the ZFS video here: Oh, BTW, when you put a mix of drives, you want the spinning drives on the edges (top/bottom/right/left) because those areas have the least vibration. You put the SSD's in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 12, 2020 I think a video on all the different types of audio gear would be cool. DAC's, Pre-amps, power amps, integrated amps, power conditioners etc. LTT's Resident Porsche fanboy and nutjob Audiophile. Main speaker setup is now; Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870 (Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 28, 2020 Ignore if it has already been done but How about comparing expensive high-end digicam against high-end 'real film' photo cameras? I remember reading some years ago (probably over a decade - I'm old ) that no matter how good digicams were their sensors were no match for real film. Has it changed and by how much?

Posted March 29, 2020 Can you do a video on why the BTX formfactor got killed? It was meant to replace the ATX family, and the orientation of the RAM slots had been changed to maximize airflow. On paper, it should have been the logical next step in improving performance. I had asked this question in a thread here, and the best response was due to CPU power management rendered it obsolete. But that still doesn't seem reason enough to just yeet it into the dust bin, especially given how CPUs are guaranteed to always become hotter and hotter.

Posted March 29, 2020 In the very recent video, Riley called a new 12-volt only PSU "basement tier" without realizing its actual performance and legal implication. Make a Techquickie explaining the new PSU standard, i.e., ATX12VO and shows its (dis)advantages over the older ATX12V (with 24-pin connector) standard.

Posted March 30, 2020 A new video idea is how to connect onehome network to another using VPN. The idea here is to have two houses connected with an always on connection and their two LANs appear as one. Each house would still use their own local internet gateway and service connection for all internet usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 22, 2020 So in these corona times when we're all in an endless teams/skype call probably a great time to make a video about one of the mysteries of the universe: how to make your audio output: 1) actually output and 2) output where you want it to output (headset, speakers, monitor?) In the past I associated the mystical behavior of my audio output to the fact that I was always plunging and unplugging my pc to office/home monitor (bcs one of the monitor has sounds?) but these days I just accepted that spotify wont output from my docking station as everyone else...

Posted April 27, 2020 Most connectors aren't reversible/rotatable, so a round plug is actually kind of a terrible idea for most things. Even two-way reversibility (i.e. USB Type C) often is achieved just by doubling each pin (or, in the case of USB Type C, having interchangeable connections, i.e. TX1 can be connected to TX2 without a problem, since they're the same type of connection and labelling 1 or 2 is arbitrary). To make it round, you'd have to go coaxial (which is limited to either 2 conductors in a core/sleeve configuration, e.g. F-connectors from your TV antenna, or a few more in a TR...S configuration, like a headset plug), or have it be directional anyway (as in a PS/2 connector). The best option is the TR..S configuration, but doing more than TRRRS (5 conductors) would be ridiculously long. And that's not even including that different connectors use different shapes to be able to easily tell the difference and prevent cross-connects. It's frustrating enough that USB Type A can basically fit in an RJ-45 jack (though the conductors are in entirely different places, so it won't make a connection). If everything was TR..S, then you'd have to use different sizes to prevent cross-connects, and there's only so many diameters available without either getting ridiculously large, or having so little difference between them that there's no way to prevent plugging something into the wrong spot. It could be really bad to, say, plug your headphones (which expect a couple volts at most) into a TRRS USB 2.0 spot (fun fact, USB 2.0 is only 4 conductors, so it could theoretically be a TRRS) that suddenly blasts it with 5V. Different shapes are useful from a human-interface perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
