Why even use MS Word when there's Libre Office and MS has supported ODT for a while now? Libre does the same things but free.

@LinusTech @CPotter @Slick Compare common document programe such as MS Word/ Google Docs/ Libre Office etc to see what word doc/office program is best.

I was thinking could you try comparing the i7 4790k vs new processors in benchmarks to see if that old beast can really pack a punch in 2020 for gaming, there seems to be loads of people wanting Z97 borads and 4770k/4790k's now.

A new keyboard build, this time consulting people in the forums for a part list.

Isn't this for that money Trump gave you all? Plenty of youtubers have already done this video

but if linus did it

Dear Linus, is it possible to make video about Google new QUIC protocol, is it safe, its working great, and it can easly be the future protocol layered on UDP , but i have read that firewalls dont filter QUIC protocol?

Thank you

Old post, but it started back then.

There are new articles and youtube videos.

DIY 3d printed mechanical keyboard... 

I would like to see it built and reviewed using your favorite switches

Can you guys do a video comparing PCI-e wireless adapters and USB ones? (Like the TP-Link Archer T3U and T4E for instance) I know the old USB 2.0 adapters sucked, but it's been a while since the USB 3.0 stuff has been on the market. Have they matured to be good or decent products?

[Stifab]

A lot of the content on the channel is about NAS and storage solutions and with the "Jellyfish Fryer" you've gone all SSD. The availability of CPUs and boards with high numbers of PCIe lanes these days rises the question: When does LTT build the all-flash-all-NVMe/PCIe-Gen4 storage server? ASRock and ASUS do now have PCIe adapters for 4 M.2 NVMe SSDs that talk PCI 4.0 (https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=HYPER%20QUAD%20M.2%20CARD#Overview, https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessories/HYPER-M-2-X16-GEN-4-CARD/). What if one would take something like an ASRock ROMED8-2T board, put 6 of such PCIe gen 4 x16 M.2/NVME adapter cards into the first 6 PCIe expansion slots and load them up with 24 PCIe gen4 SSDs (something like https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Storage/M-2-SSDs/Force-Series%E2%84%A2-Gen-4-PCIe-NVMe-M-2-SSD/p/CSSD-F2000GBMP600) and run FreeNas or Unraid on the system? If that would work, that raid could probably saturate am Mellanox 200 Gbit ethernet adapter that goes into PCIe expansion slot number 7 on the board, even if you do a rational amount of parity drives. Would the Epyc CPU be able to handle this? If not, could NVMeoF be an option to make this work? Would the ZFS overhead be too much in such a powerful system? Are you coming up with more videos on All-flash-arrays?

@Stifab They've already made an all 24x PCIe4/NVMe server with EPYC, just with U.2 server parts instead of consumer m.2...

It's not exactly a full review but they did mention some things about this model in this video.

Hello, i have seen the 1-year airflow experiment video and thought to myself: well they could be running folding@home. So the video idea is:

2 month experiment: folding@home benchmark+airflow configuration

Yes but that one toped out at 30 GB/s read / 20 GB/s write, the system seemed to be limited by what the infinityfabric off the Epyc CPU could handle. Thats why I was asking weather using NVMeoF could be the key to get even better speeds, maybe saturate the networkadapter...

hey linus, I found this monitor that is a PERFECT square. this monitor is as wide vertically as it is horizontally, almost 4k as well

 

https://www.eizoglobal.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/index.html  

 

 

can you review this Japanese square monitor FlexScan EV2730Q by Eizo global that is almost 4k reviewed by Dutch tv online, wanted to know if you think it would be good with old games that are square and keep close to older square native resolutions they were designed for ie. Caesar 3, 

 

you could put it through a battery of older games (halo1, Caesar 3, Rome: Total War) and see if they can be scaled to 4k and not be stretched to widescreen 16:9 so they are close to looking natural...someone once said Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (HOMM3) a classic strategy would look great at 1920x1920 with a huge world view.

 

 

https://www.eizoglobal.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/index.html  

 

With a 1920 x 1920 resolution, this monitor is as wide vertically as it is horizontally. Now you can scroll less, see more, and work better.

Square used to be the norm...

 

If you’re in your 30s or late 20s, you probably remember the old school CRT and LED displays that used to be square. Well, that aspect ratio is usually described as 4:3 or 5:4 and was one of the first-ever aspect ratios ever used. Actually, 5:4 came first, then with standardized computer monitors, 4:3 became the norm.

I think linus should do a vid where he does a live virtual pc building competition with other PC youtubers(such as Bitwit and Austin Evans) where competitors could only use their non-dominant hand. Everyone would get the same parts, and points would be awarded for speed, build quality, cable management, and whether the system posts. 

[Austinham]

a part 2 to this?

Hey Linus, I watch your videos whenever i have time and the contents are really good. Today one of my friend told me that nvidia cards performs better when paired with intel processors than amd processors. Furthermore he states that amd processor performs better with amd gpu. So will you please make a video on this mystery topic whether this is true or not. So I request you to make a video where you put up two systems one with nvidia+intel and the other one nvidia+amd and do some testing. Both system will have same configuration like ram frequency, same types of storage and speeds and same gpu but different cpu with identical specification. you know what I mean........So please make a video....

Welcome to the forum.

 

Your thread was merged with the video suggestion thread.

[dunnyourpops]

I think that when quarantine is over you should collaborate with ijustine and do another mac and pc editing showdown and mac and pc where Linus uses mac and Justine uses the pc those videos were hilarious and great please do another of these.
