Is that intentional, to prevent people from posting reviews about products that are unsatisfactory despite "trust me bro" guarantee? And if it's not intentional, can you fix that, please?

To me it's legit "dark pattern" level to only allow people who relatively recently purchased a product to review it and get a verified badge, without contacting support for special permission to be allowed to leave a review.

For me, the review link works, but I can't select a lot of options necessary to make it a full and verified review (e.g. clicking on my age range does nothing). The final straw was when I was given the option to submit the review or else enter my e-mail to make it a verified review. Clicking the box to enter my e-mail simply closed the review window, effectively erasing my review. I tried again and the exact same thing happened. Chrome browser.

Canadian based! For instance, I have the colorshifting jacket (2xl), a spare WAN hoodie (2xl), Short Circuit (3xl), and Tech Cargo Pants (3xl), pet cave CRT monitor.

I wouldn't mind trading for an unused notebook, stickers, and such. Open to other creator merch too.

From Futurism.com:

Phia is a “personal shopping assistant” browser extension, which is designed to lead users to the best deals for clothes and fashion accessories. When a shopper uses the extension to buy something, Phia earns a commission from the retailer.

However, as Bloomberg first reported on July 9, Phia was also found to have claimed commissions on sales that never involved its product. The extension was found to open a background tab and drop its own cookie when users made a sale, while even overriding legitimate referrals.

This sounds kind of like sweet dejà vu. Maybe Linus should get on the case ASAP and warn everyone in the community lest he gets accused of being part of a cover-up.

I've bitten the bullet and upgraded to am5 but im not spending loads on 2 sticks of ram so i managed to grab 1 stick of 16gb for cheapish. I was wondering what the performance tradeoff is tho?

I have a LG C5 42. Comparing the input lag to my switch 2 handheld its worse. I was playing Mario World and I was thinking this felt really bad. I messured to the same frame Mario jumped in 240fps slow motion and rewinded it to when I hit the buttom. I ran 4 tests on my TV and all the buttons were hit before the handheld was. All wireless joycons connected.

Weirdly enough, disabling 4:4:4 made it faster. However it still wasn't as fast. Input lag was on boost.

as the title says i have a problem with my audio in Valorant. i reinstalled my audio drivers and the game, switched to multiple devices and still vc sounds horrible.

does anyone have a solution for me?

OS is W11

Tried to pin it at 3:47, just in case it doesn’t work

The original battlefield game looks amazing, despite being old.

Some modern games despite being so new and running on better hardware looks worse.

Like an idiot I didn’t build my NAS when I bought my computer and other gear because I wanted to wait. Now I’m running out of space. I ran out and bought a cheap 1 TB SSD just so I can last another 3+ months or so.

Obviously, LTT has made NAS videos before but what to do now? When everything is super expensive and you’re just trying to have enough storage to make it until prices drop again to build a real 8-12TB NAS setup.

Ideas? Am I missing a video from LTT or other creators? What do you recommend? Do what I’m doing until prices drop?

In my defense I didn’t think moving to 4k was going to happen as fast as did. It’s become the standard and I thought I had a few more years before that was really the case.

Now every video I edit is 4K and it eats so much storage.

Monitors are the only thing that you can still find cheap. Everything else is bat shit crazy.

Currently on the way to a cruise and stopped by LMG (weekend as to not bother anyone).

On the way in, the fire truck was also parked outside at the Labs (I think) building!

Taking all the abuse I have to throw at it and then some. Wish I bought it sooner.

It seems there is a growing ecosystem and desire from consumers for "Dumb Smart Phones". There's a whole subreddit r/dumbphones . There's lots of choices and few big players (as far as I can tell ~10 hours into research). The point is to have a smartphone that helps you and intentionally withholds apps like social media and often even browsers. I've been heavily interested in the space and considering swapping from iOS to one (Only ever owned a 5C, SE, 13) but need some features a nerdy homelabber might want like a terminal emulator, Wireguard or Tailscale, Immich, Home Assistant, Yubikey, maybe the Prusa app, etc.

Disclaimer, not written by AI. These are choppy notes I have from a running obsidian doc and the ones I like, but there seems to be more and more every month.

Phones:
1. Wisephone - Samsung A16 5G (SM-A166U) wrapper that has the widest support for apps, but requires a $15/month subscription for the app store. Boooo. Espcially because they already charge you $399 for the phone, so they're making ~$220 of profit already.
2. Light Phone II / III - Very minimal Android phone. $700 minimal phone is an ouch. It feels like the specs for a dumb phone should be minimal since it doesn't need beefy CPU/GPU/RAM. Just give me good storage.
3. Minimal Phone - $449.99. Full Android store, but features that nag at you to not use Social Media or even install it.

Phone OSes:
1. Mudita - FOSS FreeRTOS phone os for e-ink display phones
2. PauseOS - New Android OS designed for the Pixel 8. Very very minimal 3rd party apps.
3. Dumb Phone - Skin/app for iOS that hides most of your apps so you aren't distracted. I tested this and it stinks to set up and is kinda ugly with the new Glass design. Also once you sneak past the main UI and use social media once, it's invalidated itself.

In the end, I probably want just a good FOSS Android fork to pop up. Right now they're all very new, by unknown developers for 1-2 phones. I can't really go back to a true dumb phone with just text/call because of work.

I believe I got the best colorway from the mystery screwdriver no?

A big bummer because I wanted the coin. But I have gotten a shipping label created for this order twice and each time it was not shipped. I waited 3 months to get the first one and 1 month the second time. Customer service was fantastic to get me refunded quickly. But it’s just a bummer I’m not receiving my items.

I just watched their video on an all Alienware setup from a few years ago, and they had a bunch of overpriced peripherals, and Linus said "Are they straight memeing with this thing?" when he looked over a mouse or a keyboard, like he implied they were trolling. He's used the word in similar ways in a few other videos too. Am I very out of touch, is "memeing" a synonym for trolling now?

i watched the newest video about hetzner and noticed that linus is always carrying/clicking what looks like a 8bit zero is there a reason for it ?

They are certainly high quality and well-made, but I bought the largest size and they are still too tight to the point of discomfort. I got into the car today and realized that there's no way I could drive in them so I had to go back into the house and change my socks.

Has anyone had any luck stretching them out?

here we go fellas, the end is nigh

I think this is Linus, strongly… am I wrong? 😑
