Thread For Tech Quickie Video Suggestions

A video about the use, risks and benefits of corona tracking apps. If it doesn't nuke monetization of course

[KeeperofDusk]

An As Fast As Possible covering all of the typical video game graphics settings, visual representations of what they do, and how much performance each will use would be great.

Thin Clients.

Absolute vs Relative Mouse Mode.

Explain why we can't use the cloud as a regular drive.

RAM kit vs multiple individual sticks of RAM

example: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM kit(2 x 8GB) vs Same brand and specs(on paper, not the real specs like the chips used, brand of the chips amd etc,.) but bought individually bought.

Linus, my wife will only let me have a new computer if she gets a hot tub. How many RTX 2080Ti's does it take to heat a HotTub to 40 Degrees?

With the growing popularity of AMD processors (and kind of gpus but not as much), I have seen an large number of posts here asking if AMD processors are compatible with Nvidia graphics cards and if Intel CPUs work with AMD GPUs. It would be great if you could do a video explaining that even though they are different brands they will still work together.

If that doesnt make a long enough video, maybe add in how other component manufacturers are compatible with each other but some things like rgb might not sync between them. You could also talk about how some connectors are proprietary and might not work with other components.

Consider updates on past subjects. Also, explain the differences and similarities between micro-processors and micro-controllers, little vs big Endian systems as well as explaining the origins of various programming languages (multiple part series!).

Ah Mr Young, we've been expecting you!

Hey, LMG!

 

I would like you guys to do a Techquickie video explaining why every audio manager interface that comes with the audio drivers like Realtek or VIA are always a stupid bloatware. Like... Windows audio managment is just fine. Why the heck would I need SOUND AMBIENTS EFFECTS like BATHROOM or CATHEDRAL effect?! Or even other settings that I can already change on windows itself?

Thanks!

The old thread in the vBulletin forum got lost in the migration (don't worry I still have access to it and I'll still look at it) so I'm creating a new one.

 

Guidelines

 

 1. Video should be possible to watch in 1-2 minutes.

 2. No elaborate props. If we can't shoot it in the white box with a couple of demonstrative pieces, it's probably not feasible.

 3. Keep it simple! The idea here is to simplify computer concepts to the point where your mom can understand it. Not looking for "how to peel the ramspreaders off your memory"

 

 I will read these suggestions, but I may not reply to this thread very often. That doesn't mean I'm not paying attention, it just means I'm busy creating lots of new video content

Dear Linus Tech Tips, 

 

I’ve just recently entered the confusing realm of computer building and your videos have helped a lot. During my first independent build I encountered a problem while reusing parts from an older computer. To be safe I “Darik’s boot and Nuked an old HDD and re-downloaded windows and all the drivers. Personally, I don’t know whether I’d ever need to “nuke” a hard drive to avoid problems or just do a clean install of Drivers. I think this would be a great concept to answer in a video. If I ever swap out a graphics card or CPU what sort of changes do I need to make to Software to avoid problems? How do I know for myself? I thinks it’s particularly overwhelming to think of how many possible changes I could make?

 

Thanks for your consideration, stay safe

Keyed RJ45 connector vs RJ 45 connector

[mikeike951]

A lot of people have wondered about how much VRAM you need with the 3080 having 10 Gb and Big Navi rumored to have 16 Gb. Especially for 4K and VR where I assume the textures need higher VRAM. This could potentially be a LTT video given the hype of the new graphics cards, but I could also see this as a Tech Quickie as well.

File based vs Block based Storage.

just fing out that you can submerge like whole motherboard in to water, but not just regulat water, "dry water" called "Novec" produced by 3M, it actualy used as termal jiquid in hardware cooling solutions, but why put it in colling colution when you can PUT YOUR PC IN TO IT!? XD nevermind that video on russian, on 12:00 under stress test cpu isnt throtteld

 

[Gamer Schnitzel]

Can you guys make a quick video about DirectStorage?

This is going to come out later but nobody says what the actual requirements are. If someone wants to build a PC right now but they want to use DirectStorage in January what exactly do they need to have in their system? I think that video would be pretty popular.

Linus you can make an video on how does ping effects fps and secondly there's not that much video's on it that are explained from the base

[Dr_badwolf]

Video Suggestions.

1.) a LINUX KVM video - showing how to make a ((GOOD)) gaming windows VM on a FREE Hypervisor.
(I'm available for assistance if you need)

2.) SLI/Multi-GPU video explaining batch processing/post-processing,
- and explaining why High Latency tasks use mutli-GPUs better
- and why Gaming mutliGPU would require communications as fast as the memory bandwidth to be useful. (at high framerates)

3.) Video exploring direct wireless (LAN) networking to a laptop (and WAN options if you wish)
- - For the purpose of streaming from a desktop (games) (use steam link)
- - and file transfer/general networking.
Such a video would be useful for those with a companion laptop.

4.) Video exploring/Explaining a [RAM Drive] acting as [SUPERFETCH] [Disk Cache], with ram disk [SWAP] on a [dedicated NVME]
- and how that is "neat" for games.

5.) running windows to go on an sd-card. (redux) with the following changes...
- - Class [a2] [UHS-ii] on USB 3.0 UHS-II reader. (unless you can be sure an internal reader is on a USB3.0 bus.)

6.) Running Android x86 on a decent touch-screen laptop.
- Intel works "Correctly".
- Nvidia works correctly on archs that share tech with ARM-NVIDIA boards.
- AMD: Im actually not sure about this one... untested.

7.) Video Demonstrating uncommon [Hardware] raid formats. (IE: raid 2)
- Note: Video playing with raid 2.

8.) Video Rooting an android and installing adblocking.

9.) Video using VR to render 3 desktops and doing something functional that you would do on 3 monitors.

10.) Video where you use a raspberry pi 4, and a usb 3.0+ "very fast" native Accesspoint compatible WIFI card, to create a "VERY FAST" (and cheap) gaming router - with a low latency linux distro

[Dr_badwolf]

OPTIONAL: 

1O.) Video using a "KILL-A-WATT" (or whatever brand you want)
- to demonstrate actual power use by computer components.

IE: a 3090 (and its companion motherboard/components) and why an 800 watt, and even a 600 watt power supply (rated at 80%) is
"totally enough" for a "not overclocked" (normal/stock) system.

2O.) Theres an adapter that lets you link 2 power supplies safely...
- You can connect Motherboard and GPU to 1 of them...
- then the CPU "EATX12V_... to another (smaller but "good") slim (MATX) power supply.
This results in better EM isolation and [can mean] more stable overclocks, (the science is relevant to memory communications) and certainly EMF noise reduction (for audiophiles.)
(i prefer to run at least 2 power supplies)
> One dedicated to CPU power.
> However im thinking of getting a GPU PSU, because I like the idea of all dynamic V (high powered) components having dedicated PSUs.

Suggestion for a TQ video: 

Is Antivirus software really necessary in 2020?

 

 Unless you live on Starbucks Wifi using Windows 7 without security patches, there's no real reason to have AV software like AVG and Malwarebites. Only 24/7 AV coverage you need in 2020 is for live downloads of sketchy files. If you're not downloading sketchy files, you don't need 24/7 AV. Period. Tools like ADW can check one-time for viruses and don't require a full install.
