so scrapyard wars, they could easily string it out over 6 or 8 or more episodes. think of all those ads. but no, Linus will play it straight and honest and we get the show split into genuine and legit sections. 

Fair play

I like that they chastise them for filming vertically, then proceed to have trouble fitting them in the frame.

AMD's rumoured 180W 16-core Ryzen part will reportedly run at 3.1/3.6GHz (3/4)

Source 1: https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/amd_s_rumoured_180w_16-core_ryzen_part_will_reportedly_run_at_3_1_3_6ghz/1

Source 2:

 

  • AMD's rumoured 180W 16-core Ryzen engineering samples are reportedly running at base/boost clock speeds of 3.1/3.6GHz, offering performance that would be similar to two R7 1700 CPUs.

  • this new CPU model is rumoured to come on AMD's X399 socket (likely not final name) with quad-channel memory support and overclocking capabilities.

Fuck, I want that!

So badly..

 

Starting at $699 USD, so like $1059 Canada bucks

Google Maps to allow others to track your movements

Source 1: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/google-maps-to-allow-others-to-track-your-movements-1.3336071

Source 2: http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/internet/google-maps-unveils-new-real-time-location-sharing-feature/article17601242.ece

 

  • Google Maps users will soon be able to broadcast their movements to friends and family

  • Google believes the new tool will be a more convenient way for people to let someone know where they are without having to text or call them.

  • Could cause friction in relationships if one partner demands to know where the other is at all times.

  • OR if parents insist their teenagers turn on the location-sharing option before they go out.

I find this ಠ_ಠ, especially from Google..

I don't think anyone has a use for this, GPS isn't that accurate as far as I've used it.

Smartphone device can test sperm quality

Source 1: http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/smartphone-device-can-test-sperm-quality-1.3337386

Source 2: https://www.engadget.com/2017/03/23/researchers-make-super-cheap-smartphone-sperm-test/

 

  • The new technology works by using a combination of an optical attachment that can connect to a smartphone and a disposable device for loading a semen sample

  • it "can analyze a video of an undiluted, unwashed semen sample in less than five seconds." with an accuracy of 98 per cent.

  • The technology aims to make it easier and cheaper for men to test their sperm at home.

  • The cost of the materials used to assemble it came to $4.45 USD

  • The device is not yet available to the public and is still in the prototype stage.

Heh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Apple cuts prices on lower-end iPads, releases red iPhones

Source 1: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/apple-cuts-prices-on-lower-end-ipads-releases-red-iphones-1.3335498

Source 2: https://www.cnet.com/news/apples-red-iphone-7-and-new-cheaper-ipad-are-now-available/

 

  • The iPad Air 2 is being replaced by a new model simply called the iPad.

    • It retains a 9.7-inch screen, but the display is brighter and the processor is faster.

    • Its price starts at US$329 for 32 gigabytes of storage, down from $399.

    • The standard-size iPad is now cheaper than the smaller Mini model.

  • The 7.9-inch iPad Mini 4 now comes with 128 gigabytes of storage starting at $399, rather than $499 before.

    • Apple is eliminating the 32-gigabyte model, which used to sell for $399.

  • Apple is partnering with Product Red to release a red edition of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus;

    • for each phone sold, Apple is donating an unspecified amount to HIV and AIDS programs.

    • Apple is doubling the storage on the smaller iPhone SE while keeping the $399 starting price.

A9 trades blows with A8X; much rather have 3 cores over 2 cores however with iOS.

No more 16gb iPhones, yay!

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Why didn't you guys recruit Tech city? He is the god of used PC parts. His channel is based entirely on it. I know you guys met Brian at CES or something, so you know who he is.

Or ... Well I know he's across the Atlantic, but how about RandomGamingInHD? :D (Or maybe Tech Deals?)

And would using Ebay be allowed? Any chance Linus & Luke might consider building an LGA771/1366/2011 Xeon system?

 

Also what about buying from fans, if the price is fair?  For example I might have 4x 1GB G.Skill DDR2-800 DIMMs, and maybe 2x each WD Black 750GB or Green 1.5TB SATA HDDs I won't need anymore once I finish emptying them onto my newer 5TB HGST NAS drives.

If i was to let 2 DIMMs and 1 of each HDD go to each team for the same price..... :P

00:56:18 - oh Ubisoft xD

 

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU

If I ever decide to start running Server 2012, I will remember this. Thank you.

Works on Windows 10 Pro too. I have a few computers in the office I have done this to.

So if you guys will be in LA filming, any chance for an LA meetup? 

 

 

I'm not an expert! In fact I'm usually just 1 google search ahead of you.
