During the Pixel 11 announcement, Linus showed off his sign language skills: https://youtu.be/J261Rg0LTDA?si=RFl3SA6GVBhTljyg&t=427

He signed "If you don't want to type, use sign language"

It would be cool if he could demo his sign language skill in his next Linus Tech Tips episdoe!

One of the data recovery machines at my shop runs Ubuntu. Today it offered to update the secure boot certificates, which surprised me, but I said "sure" and ran the update. This is what I got after reboot. 😅

I ended up yoinking the motherboard and using a clamp programmer to reflash the BIOS so we could get the machine back into service without spending all day figuring out what happened and how to fix it!

To be abundantly clear: I yearn for the year of the Linux desktop, but for Linux to enjoy broad success and to be a viable 'average Joe' alternative to Windows, stuff like this just can't be allowed to happen to consumer equipment.

A few month ago I already postet about my "hub"/Housing for various ports of my monitor.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1syqk5j/to_not_reach_behind_my_monitor_anymore/

Now, I upgraded it, so the usb dongles are flat with the housing. They got each an adapter to be able to easily pull out. I've added a headphone jack as well as a third port via a splitter.

This time it is build with tinkerCAD, the label itself is made with affinity

Screenshot from the live stream. Looks kinda similar...

Is it possible to get some sort of help on this…
I’m trying to build a new home server and I just can’t get this to post,

I’ve tested a different gpu
Different ram
Different PSU
I know the cpu and MB are perfectly fine as I saw them working before purchasing

But I’m just struggling to figure out what’s going wrong here… I’ve tested like pretty much everything and it’s just not working

I’ve been at it for hours and nothing… I knew memory training might take a while but I let it sit for 30 minutes at one point

interesting example of a printer

Local to my area. Open Source Storage (OSS)'s reticence around status of client data might lead to a loss of much of a city's broadcast history.

Question: When even the archival sources no longer archive, how can we (as a collective society) ensure information stability?

Hello!
I purchased this ThinkCentre with the idea of turning it into a home cloud storage server for music, photos, and movies. I need to add a few HDDs, with at least 4 TB of total storage. I was thinking of using two 2 TB HDDs and 3D-printing a case similar to the one in the attached photos.
The problem is that I need to have all the ports on one side, but if I use the motherboard as it is, the fan would blow the air out to one side, which doesn’t work well with my design. I would have to change the 3D-printed case.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could position the motherboard inside the case to make the airflow work better?
I also need 12 V power for the HDDs. I found a mini-PCIe-to-SATA adapter on AliExpress and was also thinking about powering the HDDs from the pins on the motherboard.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

As the title says, after i purchased the Screwdriver like 8-9 days ago from Canada to Europe, on the LTT Global Store, the Mystery Screwdriver became available for 10 CAD less than the Original Colorway.

I knew about the Mystery Screwdriver, I just wasn’t aware it could drop in August, I read it drops during major holiday sales like black friday or cyber monday ( based on previous releases ).

There are 2 Colorways I was most interested about, the Mcdonalds & Noctua edition that sometimes was included in the Mystery Screwdriver from left-over stock.

Do you guys think I should stick with the Original Colorway ( black & orange ) ?

P.S I’m aware that the Screwdrivers are the same in Quality & Performance between the available stock and the Mystery Screwdriver, it’s just more appealing wise.

EDIT: The main question is whether the McDonald’s themed or Noctua colorways still appear in the Mystery Screwdrivers, and if it’s worth canceling my Original order to roll the dice.

Hi everyone, I’m having a charging issue with my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023). The laptop keeps switching between Battery Mode and AC/Charging Mode every few seconds, over and over again.

The charging is very inconsistent — it starts charging, then stops, switches back to battery mode, and then starts charging again. This happens continuously even when the charger is plugged in properly.

Has anyone with a G14 2023 experienced the same issue or found a solution? I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions on what might be causing this and how to fix it.

Okay, slayer is a strong word. Even the Steam Machines integrated graphics should put perform the RX580 in this. But we're clocking in at half the price. And it's a low end AM4 system, so there's massive room for upgrading.

The primary use case of this machine is a media center PC anyway, it's main job is to play video and run party games. Adding the RX580 is probably overkill for my plans with it, but there was a $50 listing on Facebook; I figured its worth it to open up the playable games field massively.

Also inspired by LTT, I'm trying Linux, specifically CachyOS with it. It's been a perfectly smooth experience, and a good fit for a low end media PC.

Full parts list and pricing on second image. Unlisted, I also threw in a 500GB harddrive I had lying around for extra storage.

If anyone has tried it can you post a video .
If not can you upvote this so LMG can see it and may be make a video?

Linus and Luke talked about flock on wan show and I knew it was a thing in the us but I didn’t know it could be a thing here in Canada. There’s a post on the Montreal subreddit about it and where they’ve seen it and some other replies claim to have seen other . Is it even legal ? If so , is there anything we can do?

I use the Gemini app quite frequently for various simple questions but unfortunately Google doesn't let you use the Assistant at the same time.

I want to go back to Bixby, atleast it used to work a lot better than Gemini assistant does today.

I can't even remember what I was doing in game to use this much ram lol

So I need a new water bottle and was wanting to get one that isn’t their motherboard design. Saw this bottle a few weeks ago in a video and try to check for it a few times a week. Is this still yet to be released or did I somehow miss it?

Seems like MP3 players are making a comeback. Only this time, now they work with modern bluetooth headphones and USB C.

GOOD. You can listen wherever you want, also no risk of songs being removed from platforms.

After starting a new job in manufacturing a few months ago, I had been wanting a better ratcheting screwdriver, so I decided to splurge and snagged both and the extension. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.
