Well then you can basically buy and build all of these keyboards:

hey

just watched 'Budget Backlit Keyboard Roundup 2020.'

 

There seems to always be that 1 same work and/or gaming mate that's regularly replacing their keyboard. From liquid damage(coffee, coke, …) or a dead key (button mashing..  ).

 

How about roundup of best water resistant, spill recoverable, key replaceable, key swappable, abuse resistant keyboards available.

I was looking at some alternative/open source router firmware and thought that it might be a good video idea.

 

The video can help inform viewers about the various firmwares(dd-wrt and openwrt), the pros and cons of using them, what new features one might gain and what features are missing.

It could be followed by an installation guide.

 

I did find an old NCIX Tech Tips video on it but I'm unsure about how upto date it is

How about air coolers and AIO which were originally tailored to Intel tested on Ryzen. For a while cooler bases were a little domed or dished to match the average shape of Intel IHS, but with Ryzen dominating the scene now that's maybe not a good thing. How bad is it and how much does lapping those cooler affect performance? @AlexTheGreatish will find out right after our sponsor TUNNELGLASSBOXWIRESTORE.COM

ROG Rib Reboot 2.0. Basically the same thing except without the video. Put everyone's name in a hat and pick 3 people. It is for people that don't want to put themselves on YouTube.

I would love to see a video about designing and manufacturing your own PC case. A real build project, rather than just slapping parts into a pre-manufactured case.

 

• Make it a contest between two (or more) participants or teams. Three contestants would be more interesting than two in my opinion. There may be some opportunities here for smack-talking.
• Divide it into two or three phases, which could either be put together in one long video or split into several videos. Phase 1, designing. Phase 2, manufacturing. Phase 3, putting the parts together into a complete system and finding out if the design actually works as intended.
• Pull in specialists in the field (if necessary) to help the participants out and provide valuable information for viewers of the video. For example, someone with a lot of experience in creating PC designs from scratch, a CAD/CAM specialist or a CNC specialist. You might be able to get someone to sponsor with materials, equipment and work hours for design and manufacturing help.
• At the end, have a number of build-your-own veterans judge each creation and give them scores based on whichever elements are applicable. Also, create a poll for viewers to judge which design/build they like the most. You could have a discussion thread for it on the forum. Combine both results into a final score. Who will receive eternal glory?

 

One thing which should not be overlooked however, is to be thorough in the video regarding information about which dimensions to use for screw placement and I/O and expansion slot cutouts for various motherboard form factors. (ATX, EATX, MATX, ITX) This information is not easy to find out on the internet and the video could become an important resource for people who wish to try to design and build their own case, both now and in the future.

The teams don't all have to be made up from people within LTT.  Could be LTT team versus two other teams with similar style Youtube channels.  

 

Ooorrr...

 

Alex could be excluded from competition and instead serve as an advisor or judge for all of the teams.

 

Who is this Alex anyway? (Sorry, I'm still pretty new to the LTT channel) I see an Alex Potvin and an Alex Clark on the team web page. Does he have a forum handle here which I could tag?

[Touch My Hamm]

LTT dont feel like you all must be forced together to make videos during this time. I saw we get some older style videos of unboxings with alot of the cast. I would love to see all their spins on unboxing and first impressions of hardware. This would allow them to do it from their homes since most of Canada is under "Social Distancing" LOL and bring out new fun content. 

 

Setup cam on tripod and have them do odl style where they gotta move the camera or have it setup and cut to close ups. Old style handycams back when lga775 was a thing lol.

Since the whole point is to have you build it live on their channel you're going to have to be on youtube anyway.

Please re-do a closed loop water cooling system for CPU; choosing the cheapest on Amazon, and see if a single fan can support a Ryzen 9 CPU?

How far can a single fan, dual fan, or triple fan cool a CPU?
Or, what water cooling system would you recommend with what CPU? (eg: threadripper, Ryzen, I7/9, or what's realistically speaking the lowest CPU benefiting from watercooling (that won't benefit from aircooling; eg: a Celeron G processor doesn't need watercooling, as it can even do with a low profile aircooler).

The Forum Information - Feature Suggestion section is for suggestions relating to the forum.

How about a video on a design challenge where people will send you their 3D design of a computer case and you’ll build the winning design at your workshop? And maybe give them the PC too? There’s potential for sponsorships!

[cobalt77]

In the last WAN Show Linus mentioned that LMG is 10,000 square feet in size. LMG needs a office cat or two, I suggest a rescue adult Russian Blue due to being relatively quiet and low allergenic. Linus Tech Tips could do a video on the process, cat videos rate well. Also in the future LTT could do a virtual head to head against Gamers Nexus on who has the most tech savvy cat/cats.

Hey guys,

Just had an idea, since there is Vanta Black BMW, maybe you will make a complete build of Vanta Black setup (mouse, keyboard, monitor, ...)

 

Hope it helps you and me by seeing "Matte Black everything"

 

"Matte Black Everything?"

 

New here and was hard to figure out how to post this

As a result of the coronavirus significant portions of the world are essentially shutting down asking people to work from home and avoid in person interaction. 

 

I think it would be timely and appropriate to create some videos covering topics such as remote connecting to computer, reviews of various virtual meeting services and software, how to improve your video and audio for a virtual meeting, other technologies that can aid in isolation and remote communications, etc.

 

For whatever reason people have made coronavirus a dirty word on Youtube but I think videos covering some of these opportune topics would be extremely useful. I personally have been helping a number of people with such things over the last couple days.

This is exactly why I just signed up here.

 

While many laptops have webcams on them they usually suck as well as their speakers. I suggest one for just webcams focusing on image quality and features/price. And another on software. Throw in some 'portable' speakers for good measure.

With the release of the new Mac Pro tower, i thought it would be interesting to compare its performance to that of the last desktop tower Mac Pro, which was released in 2006. If Linus were to have interest in such a video, I do own a 2006 Quad Core Mac Pro (2x Xeon 5150 @2.66 ghz, 6gb ddr2 667mhz ram, Quadro FX 4500) that i would be willing to either lend, or sell to Linus. Just spitballing my idea since i recently found this pc in my basement.

[Cougar-FYC-]

What's intel going to do to counter AMD's onslaught , one of my biggest questions ???  

[George.]

It would be interesting if Linus made a decentralized personal cloud storage with multiple NAS-es located in different places (via SFTP).

P.S. On a more of a personal need sort of note: I'd be happy if he shows us how to set up a personal FTP server over internet and not only LAN and the difficult part - by using an usb external hdd that's plugged into the router (requires a router with a usb interface and ftp server support). I'm still struggling to set up mine...stuck at the make your own VPN or dynDNS service...cause you can't port forward the router's own IP (192.168.1.1) which is the external HDD's IP as well...thanks in advance!

[Kilrah]

You don't need to port forward nor vpn, once you've enabled FTP on the router (and if applicable turned on access from internet) you're done. 

Obviously will vary from a router to another.
