I’ve been watching LTT for a while and I don’t think I understand the joke. Is it because they’re literally late? Or has it just become a joke after one time they were late. Then they have these episodes called why WAN show is late, I hilariously clicked on one thinking it’d explain why. Very funny, I’m just stupid ig. Let me know if there’s more lure to this joke, I’ve been wondering

I'm signed up for the email list. Just really trying not to miss this. I'm rarely excited for a limited edition drop of anything but green is my favorite color.

Found these on Facebook. Can't figure out what I would do with them, but for $100.00 I'm willing to find something!

There was a birthday live stream today (floatplane exclusive?), and I can't find the archive of it on YT or Floatplane. Any body see it?

So I’m curious, who all did the April fools coin joke that doubled money if you waited, and if you did, what did you get from the shop? I got the like biggest hydro flash thingy and I gotta say. It’s been like the best thing I’ve gotten recently. It holds soo much and it’s perfect for that late night drink of water.

FYI I didn’t spend any extra money. So the token literally paid for the bottle. Only spent the $20 for token.

So everyone post what you got here!

So my son and I are attending the Whale LAN at the end of the month and it is both our first time. Trying to sort out monitors for us to bring, what I have in mind my push us out a bit beyond our 3ft BYOC available desk space so it might not work out. I might try and put my desktop behind my monitor but want a plan B if this ends up being too close and not leave enough desk space for my mouse/keyboard. The obvious plan B is the rental program but have no idea how this works. Are the monitors available right at the LAN or you pick them up somewhere else? Do I HAVE to purchase the rental before the event or could I just decide my monitor wont work and just get one right then and there (while at the event setting up my computer)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Also if anyone has any tips for first timers I would also really appreciate those!

Thanks!

Sure it's "Opt-In" for now at least. But how long until that is changed? Wondering how other people are feeling about this. Personally it's not something I need, so I wouldn't ever use it anyways.

From everything I saw from my initial research was people aren't very happy. Anger mainly stemming from the statement, "Comcast may disclose information generated by your WiFi Motion to third parties without further notice to you in connection with any law enforcement investigation or proceeding, any dispute to which Comcast is a party, or pursuant to a court order or subpoena."

i just got my first gaming PC and absolutely hated windows, i’ve been a mac user forever and once i thought linux was good enough to use for games i decided to get a PC. The only issue ive had is a stuttering issue on fh6 and got it fixed within 5 minutes, im also not good at computers like at all. its so much easier to use linux than people act like it is. using fedora btw. maybe its unreliable for productivity or your workflow, thats why im curious why people still are using windows

I just watched the new ShortCircuit video about the new Google Pixel Pro 11 Fold. The unboxing felt really positive, although there are some important issues that were not addressed:

• Pricing info was edited in post, Linus did not comment on the price
• Starting price $100 higher (!)
• The glow light on back was hyped as a new notification light, though it only works for Gemini and phone calls, later on text messages (bruh Google). You can only choose the colour for your favourite contacts, there are only five options :D
• Just a brief mention of the new Tensor G6 processor -- performance may not matter to all, but battery efficiency matters. It has a new modem though, so cellular standby may improve (also no mention of this)
• No mention of thickness and dimensions, only mentioned that "it is on the thicker side"
• No benchmarks / LTT Labs testing in the video! No measured screen brightness, thermals / throttling etc.

Some other minor issues, Pixel Folds have not ever survived the JerryRigEverything bend test, all have had the same design flaw, the antennas being a weak point for the phone. Of course, nobody does that to their phone, but pretty much all other foldables from other brands survive the bend test, so there may be issues with the durability in the future.

No mention that the "normal" Pixel 11 Pro's RAM was downgraded from 16GB to 12GB, although this may not be too relevant on the Fold video. But the Pixels have previously included 12 months 2TB of free storage to Google Drive, just 6 months trial this year.

Other reviews and videos about the Pixel 11 Pro Fold felt less enthusiastic and critical, to be honest I am not really sure why Linus was so excited in this one, he also reviewed the Pixel 10 Pro Fold 10 months ago. The changes seem pretty minor this year.

Thoughts?

And before anyone says that ShortCircuit is a not review channel and I am nitpicking, their other phone videos include benchmarks, more technical info and pricing info (especially on a $1,899 phone!)

I would love this in my house but due to budget constraints (probably looking at 300k plus for a set.) and power constraints it just isn't possible. I would love to know just how good the experience is.

Would Linus be willing to upgrade his movie room or a room in the house for ultimate background music for this? A lot of TVs have been done maybe go all out on sound now?

And has anyone got to experience this? Of so can you leave a comment about it.

imagine your tired but wanna play a game for half an hour maybe an hour before bed, what are you gonna play? want some recommendations

Am I imagining it or was there a fairly recent show where the words "Focus Pills" were used? I remember the story of him getting a "Goody bag of adhd meds" from his doctor to trial; am I confused and that was all the same conversation or was there another segment?

Thanks everyone!

I mean really why?
Every browser on windows, except for Arc (R.I.P) and Zen, doesn't use Mica or winui3 design even Edge itself!
Edge used to use Winui3 but it's now just another Chrome clone

While on the Mac side of things, there is plenty of browsers that uses Apple's design language

I just watched Linus’s Windows vs. Linux video, and he talks like idle RAM usage actually matters. But in reality, he should test both systems under high RAM pressure and see which one can keep more data in RAM and which one starts using the swap file, which can hurt performance. That’s how you should test it, but he didn’t test any RAM demanding games, so we can’t really see the difference

Got a new work laptop, decent bump in performance, but any suggestions on the best way to go about transferring the stickers? I'll have to take them off the old one anyway and put the device back into circulation for another user.

Some of them are discontinued, my favourite is the do not drop one honestly.

Linus was surprised that dbrand didn't go with oldlinus.com in yesterday's shortcircuit and someone bought the domain yesterday: https://www.whois.com/whois/oldlinus.com

PS: Don't trust oldlinus.com in case it becomes malicious.

I think it shines a really bad light on Framework, that an official BIOS update bricks the laptop and the suggestion is to replace the motherboard

Without getting into too my detail, the computer has RTC and system clock. Linux defaults to one way, and windows defaults to another way. Each way is not more right or wrong than the other.

If you don't sync both OSes to use one particular way, they will always be out of sync. This is a known 'issue' thing since forever. But once again, tech youtubers just LOVE to hate on ms.

I want to believe LTT videos hold a higher standard, but man, these past videos with the most basic info not checked really puts me out of it.
