um so there's problem with the gleam page.

 

I don't have a twitte- X so as a joke I put MKBHD's handle in when it asked me for it, and it still let me enter in and gave me an entry.

I assume it was already taken care of off camera, but please go back and put that power supply in a proper enclosure or get a cover for the exposed screw terminals. Painters tape is not good enough.

Can someone explain the story of CVO keep offering alcohol to the head of HR?
Perhaps I'm missing the clue or it's a joke to tease HR as the 'uptight person'?

Or . . . the answer lies on the Floatplane exclusive?

Those faux-neon signs are sketchy as hell. We have one at work that used three 5x2.1mm barrel jacks molded onto what feels like speaker wire, connected to an RGB controller and then a 120 watt DC adapter. One of the barrel jacks started melting and took some LVP flooring with it. If nobody noticed the smell, it probably would've lit up the rug and sofa that were hiding it.

Yeah, I'm going to echo that... platform locking your giveaway to the dumpster fire that is Twitter is obnoxious as all get out. If I can't enter by sharing to FB or with just my email, you might as well not bother IMHO. If this keeps up, I'm going to start considering it either LTT or AMD's tacit approval of all the stupid nonsense Elongated Muskrat does.

 

I know it's probably AMD pulling the strings on that, but LTT, please pass my sentiment along.

Worth mentioning that Apple, IBM, Disney, Lions Gate, Warner Bros Discovery, Paramount, and NBC Universal/Comcast have all pulled/paused their advertising on Twitter in the past couple days after Elon Musk posted stuff that... would result in the mods removing my post if I accurately characterized it... because they don't want their brands associated with such dreck. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Linus literally explained the joke in the video. It has to do with the Peloton/Ryan Reynolds commercial.

ask me about my homelab

on a personal quest convincing the general public to return to the glory that is 12" laptops.

cheap and easy cable management is my fetish.

Given the recent accusations that I assume are still being investigated is Don't get into trouble with HR challenge (Hard) a bit to close to the bone for a video title?
