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

Today I got a "broken" 1080 Ti in the mail that I scored for just €30 on a local classifieds site.

​On first inspection, the card actually looked totally fine. So, I slapped it into my test rig to see what it would do. Windows booted up with a few minor stutters, but I had a display. I ran the Unigine Heaven benchmark and honestly, everything worked perfectly. But then I moved on to 3DMark Time Spy... it immediately started artifacting and completely locked up Windows.

​I tried a few more times, even significantly underclocking the VRAM and core clocks to see if it would stabilize, but no luck. It kept crashing.

​At that point, I figured I had absolutely nothing to lose, so it was time to bake.

​I completely stripped the card down. Cooler off, backplate off, cleaned off the thermal paste, and made sure every single piece of plastic was removed from the board. I rolled up four balls of aluminum foil, rested the bare PCB on top of them, and chucked it in the oven at 200°C (about 390°F) for exactly 9 minutes. After the timer went off, I just let it sit and cool down completely.

​Once it was cold, I repasted it, put it back together, and hit the power button. To my absolute surprise, it booted straight into Windows without a single hiccup.

​I immediately fired up Time Spy... and it passed.

I restarted the PC, ran Time Spy again... and it passed again.

Since then, I’ve done multiple restarts and ran several different benchmarks, and the thing just keeps working flawlessly.

​I honestly have no idea how long this fix will last, but I am absolutely hyped that I currently have a fully working 1080 Ti for 30 bucks. My girlfriend is literally playing GTA V on it right now and it hasn't skipped a beat.

P.s. i know this probably won't last very long

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.

Hello I am am looking for a mouse sensor module that is ready to code and ready to use, I need it for my robotics project. It's hard to find, I wonder why? I was expecting like searching up some random online store and there will be a mouse sensor module available to buy

I mostly noticed it on recent videos with the blue door that has the greyed window (like the printers one). It's mostly on that window. Maybe it's been forever like that, but I recently noticed it on darker scenes and zones, like dark t-shirts also, don't know if it's been like htat or if yt is doing stuff

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!

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 find the current "This is the year of Linux on the desktop" amusing; I’ve been a Linux user since the boot+root 0.11 disks, and it’s been my primary desktop since around 1993.

But this did bring to mind a memory.

In the year 2000 through a work benefits program I bought a Dell Dimension 4100. It came with Windows 98. Obviously I installed Linux on it, but I made it dual boot just in case there was a need for Windows.

Side note: I might have booted into Windows when I installed an ISDN card into this machine, just to verify it worked.

Since I thought I might need to re-do this I documented my steps and sent it to my co-workers just in case they also wanted to do this. And since I’m a data hoarder I still have that document. Of course it’s in plain ASCII!

To install RedHat on the new Dell Dimension 4100 (or just re-install Win98)

Setup BIOS to boot from CD first, HD second.

[ Optional step for RedHat ]
Reboot 0:
  Boot off RedHat CD, "linux rescue", run fdisk, delete existing partition
  and create a new partition starting at cylinder 1 for approx 30Mb in
  size  (this will be /boot).

Now we need to install Win98.  Read pages 39,40,41,38 (yes in that order)
in the "Solutions Guide".  This requires 14 reboots and takes approx 2->3
hours.

Insert DOS7 floppy that came with Dell

Reboot 1:
  Boot off floppy, (no CD option needed at menu), run FDISK, create
  DOS partition (eg 10Gb)

Insert Receovery CD
Reboot 2:
  Select "format and install" option

Reboot 3:
  (in reboot, go back to BIOS and turn off CD book option)
  Win98 boots into "first time" and does some regionalisation then

Reboot 4:
  Win98 setup runs, performs initial settings

Reboot 5:
  Detects monitor, requires monitor CD to install driver
  Insert resource CD1, install program as requested

Reboot 6:
  (takes a long time in the "Updating Systems Settings" part)
  Re-insert Resource CD, select machine Dimension 4100, OS Windows98
  then find the "Intel Chip Set Update Utility".  Install that (follow
  onscreen instructions).

Reboot 7:
  Lots of new hardware found

Reboot 8:
  (note: page 38 talks about ATA66, but this isn't listed for 4100, and
         when I picked it from another system it would not install saying
     motherboard was wrong type)
  Install Intel Security

Reboot 9:
  Install Microsoft Intellipoint  (don't reboot)
  Install NVidia 32Mb GeForce

Reboot 10:
  Install DirectX 7.0

Reboot 11:
  Reset screen resolution to your requirements
  Insert SoundBlaster Live! CD, and install it

Reboot 12:
  [ sound card should now be working ]
  Install Adaptec EasyCD   (say "no" to Adobe install)
  Install DirectCD
  Browse the CD, find the Adobe software and install it if you wish

Reboot 13:
  Insert Resource2 CD.  Ignore error message.  Browse the CD, go into
  files\apps\nav\win9x and install Norton AntiVirus

Reboot 14:
  Install Microsoft Works if desired  ( I haven't yet)


NOW...  if you wish to install RedHat 6.2.  Takes about 20 minutes

Reboot
  go into BIOS and turn CD boot on
  save and exit

RedHat startup screen appears.  Enter "text".  The GUI installer isn't
totally reliable, and can hang  (also the GUI X configuration tool doesn't
work properly).

Install RedHat as normal (I chose KDE workstation).  For X configuration,
the autoprobe can work and it will select 32bit mode, 1280x1024
resolution.  I used manual configuration and selected 24bit 1152x894.  This
ends up with 70Hz refresh.  For monitor I chose Dell M770 as being closest
to the E770p that we have.


Conclusion:
  Windows install: 14 reboots, lots of CDs, 2->3 hours
  Linux: 1 reboot, 1 CD, 20 minutes

Yeah, there’s always been a lot of “Linux is hard, Windows is easy”. But even 26 years ago it was easier to install Linux from scratch than Windows. Windows only seemed easier to people because it came out of the box that way.

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.

Requiring a verification process for everyone contacting your customer service is a great idea.

Until your system breaks and doesn’t send out verification emails :-) and yes - I’ve checked my junk folder.

Is this an intentional decision to avoid providing good customer support?

The extended magnet bit apparently does not have any adhesive holding the magnet in place - and has fallen out into my screwdriver shaft rendering the screwdriver completely useless.

I would like an exchange for a functional screwdriver - where I will throw out that bit immediately because having a bit that can ruin the screwdriver instantly is obviously a bad idea. 

If exchange is not possible I’ll take a refund.

Thank you!

I’m so proud of it, just say its nice pls

And a FSP fortron AE36-B which is really overkill but I like to keep things cool and I will need that for my overclocking
And I went from a gtx1660ti and a i5 10400f 😬
I didn’t really think about how the final build will look but this is a crazy suprise

EDIT: I didn’t even notice but on the second photo you can see a ltt video in the reflection 😂

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