Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions

[O_K_B_]

Hey!

Because i travel between work place and home(4 days a week i live att work place) i have used gaming laptops for the last 10 years. But because the laptop is only moved between the desk att home and the room i live inn att work I have realised that what i need is not a laptop but a stationary i can move with me.

 

Therefore i have a plan too build a proper "monster" SFF pc. Because i believe alot of other people also would be interessted in a build like this i Wonder if you would make a build like this both for me and for other people too se what is posible.

 

If you are interessted here is my "demands" for a build like this.

1. Sff build as powerfull ass practical possible(gaming).

2. No water cooling since it wil be traveling and might spend some time inn a car(both for because off cold temperatures inn the winter and shaking).

3. 2 good monitors.

4. Whole package should fitt inn a big bag ore backpack for easy mowing.

5. Not needing more than 2 power outlets(only 1 is optimal).

 

I hope this would be of interesst.

Even better if you could make a challenge with some other channels about who builds the best solution.

 

Keep up the great work.

I have a video suggestion. Do a video on car tech to enhance your car experience. I just bought an used car (2019 Camry) and it only support wired CarPlay and you will never see me with an iPhone, so I found those Chinese mini computers that enable wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on my car it's as it adds feature to my car that Toyota won't make but it's far from perfect (I got the Carlinkit 4.0). Here are some ideas that can translate to a video (like when you did the dashcams video) :

• Are those solutions secure? Can they contain malware like some Chinese Android boxes?
• How do they work (my guess is that it act as a translation layer from wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay / Android Auto)
• How to fix the common connectivity issues (choppy music)
• Are there homebrew solutions (open source projects)
• Comparison of all the competing products

Anyway what I'm talking is about what I experienced but any other car tech that enhance your experience while driving would be nice (security, windshield projected image to get some kind of augmented reality, etc).

 

Thanks and continue the good work!

Hey guys,

 I've just watched some videos tgat are claiming 12th and 13th gen intel chips no longer have the "i/o" on the chip and it has been moved back onto the motherboard causing latency issues while doing normal computing tasks such as drag and drop, window animations, mouse lag, and other things. 

 This is of concern to me because I was going to get an i713700k or an i913900k 

But now I'm wondering if they are not going to perform as advertised. 

I'm planning to use my computer for coding ,game dev.,also playing games such as star citizen. Cyberpunk along with general other production work related things. 

A video exploring thus would be very welcome thanks.

For the record I've been affected by the latency problems but not on my fresh build in early April, it only started after a month or so, the 13900K being the most zippy thing I'd used until then.

I haven't been able to pin it down for sure but it seemed heavily centered about graphics, and I've been able to mostly fix it by disabling the iGPU. My guess at this point is that May's Windows update introduced issues into the graphics subsystem where it's changing back and forth between running things on both the dedicated GPU and the iGPU, and locking up for a while in the process. The hardware itself is fine, seems to be a Windows / graphics driver problem. 

Been in discussion with one of the Youtubers who made content on that issue and he's been able to confirm an improvement by disabling the iGPU as well.

I've been recently following this one company located in BC called Edison Motors. They are currently building a prototype of a hybrid diesel-electric logging truck to show at the Fully Charged Live convention in Vancouver Canada. They're using some pretty interesting technology to power their truck, all while focusing on putting right to repair first and making a truck that will last and is able to be easily repaired in the field. I think it would be really cool for  LTT to showcase the truck, and talk about the tech they're integrating into it, and talk about the design process to make something robust that will last while still being field repairable.

I'd like to see a video on that Coleco Mini Arcade that @LinusTech had had in the background of a few videos and mentioned on the WAN Show

[Krallo]

You guys made already some reviews about cloud gaming and GeForce now in particular but at the moment with their new ultimate tier, I would love to see a revisit of their cloud gaming platform in detail.

I came across the best Alibaba ad I have ever seen in my life and I believe Linus needs to review this piece of art.

Maybe you could make some videos like the ones on Channel Super Fun but tech related.

 

 

 

That's my idea.

I would like to see a reply to this video from Steve aka tech jesus

Dan sent me here with the suggestion I made in my WAN Show merch message.

 

Per Google IPv6 is approaching 45% adoption worldwide and in some countries, including the US and Canada, can see positive latency impacts. I'd love to see LTT test this out to see if you can produce measurable latency improvements on games or anything else.

I'm from South Africa and we have been struggling with rolling blackouts for literal years.  (For reference: South African energy crisis - Wikipedia - YES I know its Wikipedia, but its actually pretty accurate and easy to corroborate)

My suggestion:  A video about alternative ways of powering your tech cheaply.  So many people focus on Jackeries, solar, and all kinds of options, but a vast majority of them are not possible for us in SA. The demand for solar and alternative energy is so high that most of us can't afford it. Maybe a fun video of hacking together a system running off batteries? Especially for us homelabbers (Yes, we exist in SA as well)

I saw this on Aliexpress:

FS Thermo 12 volt 24 volt dc refrigerator chiller mini chiller liquid chiller water cooling system for cpu - AliExpress

What is FSB?  What is a North Bridge?  What was the DFI Lanparty NFII ultra?

 

I may be showing my age but about 20 years ago I had some mental health issues which were abated by building clocking breaking rebuilding clocking breaking my Socket A 462 Athlon XP-M system.  While it was the lowest point of my life I don't regret what I did with my time.  To me this was the golden age of overclocking where you had to go through and change thing's one at a time.  Change ONE memory timing, boot off your IDE HDD and you knew if you had a winner before windows even loaded, then hope you could launch a benchmark without a crash and if it did just pray for a stable stress test.

 

Today it's click something on Ryzen Master or Intel's version and it does it all within temp limit's.  You HAVE to get into liquid nitrogen to get this kind of experience anymore.  I know Linus has mentioned his XP-M Barton core before and I like to think that he was the one I upstaged on a forum in the benchmark section (first screen shot stock wallpaper and settings, second matching with an angel embracing a fallen angel, third blowing the pants off with a bikini chick).

 

Anyways I don't know if this is a video idea or not, but I think that the day's of legit overclocking should be covered.  I never got the chance to own a DFI Lanparty NF2 but wish I had.  And the NF4 was amazeballs for the time, would take the same memory modules I think and get double the FSB out of them.  This was a truly once in a lifetime window of PC's.

This has been addressed in the discussion thread:

As you can see from the first line, there won't be video about it. Please continue any discussion about the thing in that thread.

I think Status Audio needs some checking out with their claims of being just as good as other audiophile earbuds and their massive marketing campaign on mostly Instagram/Meta. Mostly because they talk about having triple drivers as their main selling point.

Hi everyone ! I made an account for this very message, so hopefully I'm posting in the right section.
For a long time I've had this idea for a video, and since the Lab seems now ready for PSU testing this could be very interesting IMO.
It would be about testing/benchmarking how an old/used but good quality PSU. How does is holds it after years. Is the current stable ? what about efficiency ? What spike/sustained loads does it holds ? etc.

I have this very old, and still running well on my main PC, Seasonic S12 600W non modular unit (EU model, 230V). I bought it in early 2006 and used it since, yep : more than 17 years in service now ! Because of it's age I won't dare loading it to its rated max anymore, but it still nicely holds the loads of my modest actual gear (5800x PBO 142W + gtx1070).
If I go by the accumulated SMART numbers of the HDDs it powered through the years, it's almost 70K hours of running time, and growing.
So almost 8 years of 24/7. Let's say an average 11+hours/day for 17 years. If it matters, this very unit always has been behind an UPS since July 2007.

I guess my unit could be a nice candidate for tests, and since the channel seems to have very nice relations with Seasonic, I though, maybe naively, this could be a good video idea.
If you think it could be a good idea too, feel free to contact me

Best wishes and keep on the great work on all channels !

This was in no way a dig at either Linus or Steve hopefully this puts the issue to bed but sadly I don't think so people love drama too much

I recommend you to watch Jehugarcia YT channel, man build and teach how to make safe and easily maintained battery bank for your house/DIY EV/ETC. I believe recently he also make a open-sourcec BMC (battery management system). Most his battery is sourced from literall e-waste from non-funcioning laptop batteries (AKA 16850 battery).

Thank you

Reply to GN with Steve there or on the phone not just on the wan show or on the forum.

[LinusCatTips-is-Dead]

Do another roast pls

[imreloadin]

Maybe give your staff adequate time to put some rigor into their content? Churning out 25 videos a week obviously opens up the door for errors to make it through the pipeline.

I recently watched this video on the Deeper Connect Air.

 

It seems like quite an interesting device and I would love to see an LTT video covering it and looking deeper into their claims with the labs.

It is currently being crowdfunded and according to their page they give the following description for the device: 

Decentralized VPN | Enterprise-grade Cybersecurity | Ad-Blocker | Zero Monthly Fees | Plug & Play
