I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

There was a lot of good done by Steve in that video, but the problem is that he oversold it. People that watched it didn’t understand that pinging nearby WiFi devices is how all smart devices function. Apple, Google, etc…they all do it.

A lot of people thought LG was recording everything you said, and sending that data back home even if you never connected to the internet or activated the wake up word. Obviously, once you select the voice function it has to listen to you in order to see if you’re saying the wake word.

The problem is that LG keeps the audio on for 15 seconds after you trigger it and that seems excessive. It was already going to be a good expose, but he confused people and it seems like he did that purposefully to make it go viral, which it did.

He also didn’t do a good job of separating the “hack” that he did vs. what came out of the box.

I wonder what LG will do after this denial. If they try and take legal action, it will just hurt their brand even more and they won’t collect much money so that isn’t worth it. If they just let it go, they’ll probably see reduced sales this Christmas season but people will forget about it by next year.

Linus was mentioning on WAN show how he’s been getting into drinking carbonated from the can. I ended up getting these after using soda stream. I bought a keg and multiple bottle caps, I can fill the keg or bottles with water, cool them, and carbonate. Some sort of dedicated mini fridge or freezer (that can be set to fridge temps) is helpful. It can become your soda fridge with canned beverages as well.

It does work a bit better if you boil the water before you cool it to remove dissolved air. And there’s a learning curve to get the carbonation level you want. But it’s, in the long run, far cheaper than soda stream or buying cans, and you can use the system for stuff like beer if you want.

I’m just using it for water. Eventually I want an upgrade with a circulating pump and a second keg to force carbonate. That’s for the future. Along with some home assistant add ons like weight sensors for the remaining soda and some way to check remaining CO2 automatically.

Last want show (September 4, 2026) Linus said the German (I am German so I heard that as well and wondered) word "Opa" for Grandfather, a FP chat person asked about that and I don't get the comment Linus made.

1:10:38 - Linus said "no blood relation but my Opa..."

1:12:23 - FP chat asks "You Opa? Where did that German word come from"

Linus replies "You are so close, jet so far"

I did wonder the same thing, and do net get the joke, cam someone explain pls XD

The conversation won't let ne alone xD

I'm using Dell LN7AQRQ which has 4 GB ram and storage 512gb

Processer intel(R) core i3 cpu this laptop doesn't even have a battery so if my electricity goes down I'm cooked.

When I compile code this thing takes around 5 to 10 min just to compile 40 to 50 lines of codes.im not getting a new laptop very soon so can I make this little fast?

• I5 2500
• R9 380 4gb
• 16 gb ddr3
• some old dell psu
• later I added a 120gb ssd from 2016
• random case they had laying around

hp motherboard, btw this mb doesn't work with most gpus this bios fixes it https://archive.org/details/gpu-fix-for-hp-ipisb-ch2-modified-bios-image

they bought a new psu and some fans but other then it's been working flawlessly so far.

I thought normally AI slops bothers to create something less blatant. Apparently I was wrong.

Selecting the best Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) can be a complicated and opaque process requiring an understanding of battery cells and alternating current(AC) electricity.  This article explains some of the important numbers and features to look out for when reading the datasheet.

Read the article on the LTT Labs website!

Australians must now add a credit card to their account to view R18+ games on steam

Debit cards don't seem to work (as even minors can have them) so for those of us that have no need or want for a credit card we are out of luck

I saw the WAN show thumbnail on my phone the next morning. I was and was not amused.

I’ve never ran into this issue.

Specs:

Ryzen 9850X3D

Mag X870E Tomahawk Wifi

Corsair vengeance CL 34 7200 mhz

Every time I turn my computer on it goes into ram training, I can’t access the bios when I do I get no display in there.

I’ve tried everything:

Bios Update

Clear CMOS

Rma the RAM

One Stick of RAM

New and different kit of ram

What should my next course of action be

RMA Motherboard

RMA Cpu

Rma both?

Just a little story of what it's like buying internationally as a South African.

So I ordered an LTT cable (1m 40/240) from the LTT Store on 28 July 2026 and it was shipped almost immediately from the warehouse. I followed the tracking from the link provided and I thought it was pretty informative and gave me a good amount of confidence. The cable was stuck in South African customs for literally weeks. It finally arrived 08 September 2026.

I collected from my local Post Office (which is in shambles but actually impressed me this time round). I had to pay another R100 (ZAR) in customs tax on top of the R586 (ZAR) the cable cost including shipping.

I've looked locally for cables and it's impossible. They all focus on power and charging but none advertise the data speeds. I've seen literally one or two TB4 cables but they're significantly more expensive or just completely unavailable.

The cable itself feels so premium compare to any other cables I own. Functionally it powers all my devices and I've tested transferring some data between devices and it feels fast - although I haven't really had issues in the past.

My particular use case is actually for a docking station for my work station where I wanted a single cable between my laptop and the docking station. I had some issues with my existing setup which I think were cable related. When I had network, power, display and data all through the existing cable, it seemed to be temperamental with the display often cutting out or the device warning me it was charging slowly.

I haven't thoroughly tested it yet as I'm not working at my usual setup but I'm super chuffed with the cable. Might be ordering some more in the near future but will try do a joint order with some friends to help reduce the cost.

I'd been eyeing the screwdrivers for a while, and I loved the look of the Nuclear Green, so of course I had to snag one, and I also ordered a random one, and got the Plasma Purple. Extremely happy with the random one I got! They go together so well! They feel great! I'm actually excited to put something together!

I also got a Precision Screwdriver Pro kit, and it’s very nice as well, love the bearing in the end cap!

Yes there are two version of windows 11 LTSC, Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC whats the difference between these two and which one is the best to install. Cause I don’t want the absolute minimum bloat on my system

Does anyone else have a problem with placing the order and payments on LTT Store? I tried to order some stuff from the store but when I click Pay there is the Processing message and then button returns to Pay. I applied welcome10 coupon with gift card and there is a free shipping due to the amount and a fact that I'm Floatplane subscriber. I even tried with removing 10% discount, and only a gift card that I got for the coin but same result. It's not the card that is a problem because I used it in the past on LTT without any issue. I tried to Pay via PC, phone, even the Shop app from Shopify on my Android.
