I agree. I would love to see how Floatplane works.

@empireOSMerged with video suggestion thread.

 

Definitely would like that as well!

Would like to see more high end passive cooling like https://www.monsterlabo.com/the-beast

Have enjoyed past videos on this topic, and it's fun to see cases like this compared to high end liquid cooling for silence.

I saw the Craziest Cooling Project and I think you can up it with sub ambient cooling via a Geothermal ground loop. Why use a radiator, when you can just bury a bunch of pipes 6ft underground to tap into the fact that 6ft underground the temperature is stable @ ~50F no matter the outside air temp.

Apparently you can also use that as a form of A/C or home heating.

Let me suggest a look at my favourite video card design of all time and perhaps one of the most creative/ambitious. It'd fit with Linus's recent theme of taking a look at older, rare hardware like the hot wheels pc, disney pc, and that cool alienware monitor.

The card is: *drumroll* Asus 8800GTX Aqua Tank. Yes you heard that right; it had a secondary board with a watercooler that had a pump and reservoir in it. 

 

Check it out at this link:

M1 iMac - A PC Guy's Perspective

 

Since you already have a Mac channel that will go Mac specific details, and since you guys have already covered the M1 chip in detail in November, it would be nice to see the performance and usability of the iMac with the new Parallels 16.5 update that came out that supports Windows 10 ARM.

Can somebody get Linus to do a video explaining why sd cards do not load as fast as ssd and also in that case Nintendo switch cartridges. This has been bothering me and I wanna know.

Do a video why ssd load faster than Nintendo switch and sd cards. I need to know.

[WillTDP]

A video on how to properly dust of/clean a PC would be helpful

[Npiet1]

More in depth Overclocking videos. As well as more education vids on computers. How they run etc, maybe start an education channel.

After watching the Apple event yesterday, I was initially impressed by the new iMac, but from a buying guide standpoint, had a question in the back of my head:

 

If you bought an M1 Mac Mini instead of the new M1 iMac (since from a hardware standpoint, they’re nearly identical), what monitor and peripherals could you buy with the money you saved buying the Mini over the iMac? And how would they compare to iMac’s display and new Apple peripherals?

 

Personally, I believe there is alot of value in the M1 Mac Mini, and with the right monitor and peripherals, could be cheaper than buying a new M1 iMac.

 

But what do you guys think? Drop your thoughts down below.

I do believe there is a dedicated thread for video ideas, but the new imac is interesting for sure

[RoseLuck462]

I'd like them do a value analysis between buying the M1 iMac vs an M1 Mac Mini + LG 5K display.

Just found the thread, moving this post there. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Hello LMG Team,

This I think may be one of the more odd ball video request you guys might've received but I think it would make for both an interesting video as well as a great conversation to be had.

I much like many other PC enthusiast have had to deal with RMA's, but my story is not unique. Since 2/28/2021 I have been dealing with an RMA issue with ASUS.

 

On 7/31/2019 I had purchased an ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming motherboard, mainly because of my past experiences with ASUS products being more reliable, particularly their higher end ones, being quite good. After nearly 2 years of use I had never had the motherboard give me any issues, this was until 2/14/2021 when one of my close friends had an issue with some of his new hardware so he came over (mask were worn), to troubleshoot his hardware. During this testing process we had found his MOBO (an X570 AORUS Elite) and CPU (5600x) were dead, then later when we went to test his RAM my motherboard immediately began to boot loop. Funny memes aside, we had concluded that perhaps some of the traces on the RAM were bad and sent voltage back into both of our boards and killed them. 

 

So began both of our RMA's, in his case AORUS had taken 3 months to process his RMA, AMD had taken 2 days (we were pleasantly surprised). In my case since ASUS had taken 2 weeks to process the RMA entirely, and I received my motherboard on 2/28/2021. The was an issue though, the integrated I/O shield and LED were both missing, so I immediately called ASUS, filed a new RMA and send the board away, and here we are today.

 

It has been nearly 2 months and ASUS still has yet to send a replacement board for their mistake, and the only way I have been able to get any updates from them have been through the threats of legal action as well as needing to contact the ASUS CEO's Office, and even with this, there has been no resolution. I honestly don't expect any help from the LMG team, more so I just thought that hearing this case could be used to make an interesting video so that companies like ASUS and AORUS get their act together, as with one quick "Google" one can find dozens, if not hundreds of cases similar to my friends and my own.

 

If your team would like any of the photographs and email correspondence please do let me know and I'll gather all of that information as soon as I can. 

 

One quick side note is that they had offered a buy back (ASUS) but they had estimated the time it would take to be approximately a month, so I had refused it for two fold; The first being that it (in my own humble opinion) would be unreasonable to expect a customer, after a companies own mistake, to wait a total of 2 months to resolve it. The second is that because of the current landscape of PC components and how quickly they "fly" off of the "shelves" it would make it near impossible to improbable to find a motherboard.

 

Edit:

Though which as of today I have accepted as I just want this to be over and done with.

 

So, thank you for your time and I hope you guys all have been safe and healthy during the Global Pandemic, and I really do hope that you guys can maybe help change the way RMA's go.

Thank you for your time,
Kenneth Carolan
