Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions

CPotter

A video idea for one of your Intel uprade sessions!

 

I currently have a good AMD system and the wife has a well so bad AMD system it isn't even used atm! Yet we live in the shadow of the UK Intel HQ. (https://g.co/kgs/prWachp)  We also have the UK Muesem of computing just around the corner. (https://www.museumofcomputing.org.uk/

 

Why not fly over have a tour around both have a laugh, play some games, after the intel tour do a Intel upgrades on her PC (yes a little selfserving but hey worth a try 😉 ) You could get a couple of other LTT does the UK videos whilst you're here!!

 

All the best.

 

Chris.

I found a suitably ODD variation on a 2080ti, it's a 22GB version for "AI" out of Japan for sale at 4070 Ti Super prices, it might make for interesting content if it can still game... Here's the link to the eBay listing I found, https://www.ebay.com/itm/145702414808?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BIPY0CJkSzi&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=T_2nZU5fQF-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY  .

I think many people including myself would love to see a review of the Nothing ear a and the regular Nothing ear, maybe an idea worth for short circuit.

I love love to see a video on this. It is something i did for my mother when she needed a new laptop, and i told her not to bother, and instead just got her a docking station for her phone so she could use a mouse keyboard and monitor on her android phone, and she loves it. 

 

After that i got a add for this https://nexdock.com/explore-nexdock/

 

A laptop form docking station for your phone, and i got one and i love it. I think it would make a good video, you could review it, and than you could do a ltt version with a portable monitor and keyboard and mouse with a usb c docking station, maybe even 3d print a holder for all of it so it closer to the nex.

You guys should check out caseend.com. I was looking to see if I can find the trash can Mac pro case for a build and saw it posted on reddit. The images look nice but can't tell if it is legit or quality of wish/temu. 

https://caseend.com/

 

The trash can tyle has one called galaxy W2. 

 

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

I suggest LMG conquers the LinkedLearning / Masterclasses / certification courses area. It would be the dot over the i. Getting nerds to teach both prosumers and/or professionals in specific topics. I would love it! 

Think about it. Getting poeple of the world to list "LMG Fiber optics CERTIFIED" in their CV. 

 

Thanks for many hours of fun!

I'll second that.

Build the Cheapest Used CPU and GPU combo to achieve 1920p @ 60 fps.

 

Back in the day LTT would do build challenges with Paul's Hardware, Austin Evans, Bitwit Kyle and other tech tubers to build a cheap used PC with a tight budget and deadline.

 

TBH I am getting tired of people saying -

"You need an 19-14000K CPU or you are going to 'Bottleneck' your GPU".

Not everybody needs a brand new state of the art system.

The guy I was trying to help on L1 Techs forum had an i7-4690K. He wanted 1920p at 60 FPS. I suggested he get a RTX3060. I did mention that I had a similar system and have to use my M.2 SSD in a PCIe slot to get full gen 4 performance.


What older generation used CPU + used GPU combo is still viable in 2024?
Can you build a Xbox or Playstation equivalent for $400?

Somewhat recently I've been at the Gdańsk University of Technology, in the "Immersive 3D Visualization Lab". To sum it up in one sentence - it's VR without a VR headset.

You could probably find one that's on the same continent as you, and I think it would make for an interesting video about VR/XR/AR etc.

Hello,

I'm Giovanni, I'm an e-sports caster, specifically I represent the Beat Saber community, being heavily involved in every major international tournament.

 

I reach out to you to ask if Linus would be interested in casting of one of our tournaments as a special guest!
Since I've been told he's a big fan of the game, he might enjoy taking a look at how the competitive Beat Saber community runs their competitions, which are managed entirely by a large community of volunteers.

It also has an interesting angle tech-wise, specifically with software. The stuff the Beat Saber community has built from the ground up to sustain the competitive environment is mind blowing.

 

I'd be very glad to discuss this further either on discord or via email, so do let me know if you're in any way interested.
Here are my contacts:

I would try to email the linustechtips email (info@linusmediagroup.com)

 

As for the contests, as an active Beat Saber player myself, how would you enter some of these competitions?

Hello!  About a month ago, I heard about a gpu that in the future might be open sourced. Its name is FuryGpu and it is claimed that it can run quake at 60fps. I was wondering if you guys would be willing to do a review of it. Here is the website to it: https://www.furygpu.com/  Thank you for your time.

Hello Linus and the rest of the team :)

I have been a long time follower. As your content is informitble, funny and easy to follow. 

I browsed your youtube history for NAS related videos. And found only one or two that are meant for home or small business. Latest was the cloud storage one and then the next one was 2 years ago where you did build up 100TB small PC based NAS.

And then you have some videos which are more for the big buck customers who drop 10k and just build me something. 
 
So I ask for you. Can you please make an updated one where you might talk more about what type and why SSD or HDD based solutions. I am sure that there are a lot more people who are interested about this to. And if you have time then you can make a NAS for a different budget . 1000, 2000 dollars.

I know cases are rarely reviewed nowadays, but I think the mini-ITX case from teenage engineering is a really cool case to design in.

I think this could be a banger of a vid if LMG goes through with this auction. Though they might need a new warehouse with a much bigger server room lol.

I also agree, in fact I sent them an email about it yesterday(May 1st) afternoon, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that thought of LTT when hearing about the supercomputer. Since May 1st at about 1:30pm mst, there have been 2 more bidders and the reserve has been met finally, so it looks like they wanted to get at least $100k for it and so far they will.

Collab between LTT Fashion team and The Style Theorists to design a full nerdy outfit. Maybe even limited edition headwear that isn't the existing hat.

I would love to see a video covering current and potential use cases for SMPTE ST 2110. It is a relatively new video over IP standard that is finding its way into broadcasters. Unlike most solutions there are no steps for compressing and decompressing the video stream which gets rid of any sort of compression artifacts as well as any associated latency. This is great for broadcasters and you guys may actually be able to use the tech in your setups. Blackmagic has an entire lineup of supporting devices. Now where could you be unique? I would love to see you game on it. But really. Latency is the worst thing when it comes to gaming and pretty much every gaming product out there is engineered to minimize it. There are solutions like Parsec, RDP, Steam game streaming etc that are great but since they have to encode/decode the video they inherently add latency. I think gaming using ST 2110 could be awesome and I would love to see how it looks.

 

If it works well, like I assume it will assuming that peripherals aren't an issue, I would love to see this standard make its way into actual gaming computers and gaming routers (I think the router may have to support the protocol which means that a "gaming" router may actually be more than a marketing gimmick). I am honestly tired of hearing that nobody actually needs gigabit internet and that the only time faster networks make sense is for large file transfers. What if the reason why people "don't need faster connections" is because the actual use case for faster connections isn't common yet? HDMI 2.1 has bandwidth of 48Gbps and Displayport is 80Gbps and yet your switches are 100Gbps capable. What if you could transmit a 4k120 or 4k240 stream and have low latency gaming anywhere in your network and still have enough bandwidth for a usb4 connection? I mean Linus has made dozens of videos of how he would like to have a centralized server for gaming and then just have endpoints around his house. This may be able to actually realize that anywhere you can get at least 10Gbps networking. A 1080p60 stream is only 3.2Gbps and you have almost gotten that on wifi 7. Yes wifi wouldn't be ideal but what could we get in the future with an actual use case? Will the centralized gaming server become a reality? Will game streaming become not just a viable option but a logical one as well? I would love it if you explored the option.

The newest hp foldable ltt video on 5/2/24 for 5k usd got me thinking. LTT talks a lot about recycling and buying used tech, could they show their dedication to this cause by having a video series about used tech that is at good bang for the buck used prices?

My example is that I just bought a 2019 surface pro 7 for about $320 and it had less than 10 charge cycles and looks brand new, there are others for similar prices on swappa and other websites. Let's show viewers good current deals on older yet still perfectly usable tech, let's all work together to keep stuff out of landfills. I'm not saying let's make a video on this every month, but let's have some people (fans included) keep track of good/powerful hardware that exists in the used market and when the market shows good trends let's pop out a post about it or a video. I know it won't be some mash hit on views but it will help those who need it, especially in the future when old tech gets older it will serve as a timestamp so to speak for what the price was at X time used and for the quality of how it aged overall as a product. Thoughts from others?

I have done some more research on this myself. It is hard to find since it is so new and originally caters to the video production space but I am pretty sure this is the tech that underlies the Intel CES demo that linus covered that he said he would upgrade the wiring in his whole house to implement. Intel does have a media library on github for their media transport library at https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/Media-Transport-Library   and it implements the SMPTE ST 2110 standard which is why they are able to copy the frame buffer from one GPU to the other. In the demo at CES it seems they used thunderbolt for it but as far as I can tell from the standard it is actually designed to work over IP instead. They also have a video doing a deep dive at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiiOvHezpBs which seems to describe it in greater detail. It seems like this is just getting to the market but I really hope it is as advertised. We will give people a reason to upgrade their homes with fiber because this looks awesome. Now I will say it does seem there could be some caveats. If the application is designed to buffer or if some device doesn't support the required features the time sync can be off and it can cause latency. Still I would love to see an actual implementation of this.
