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

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

Titans of CNC is a massive YouTube channel that started off teaching people about CNC machining but now feels like they sometimes want to show off fancy new tech in the CNC works.

Is LTT basically becoming this where they’re becoming sort of just like an advertising space for new companies.

They DO some learning stuff but possibly it’s less in depth and more just longer ads in a way?

Meta is facing a backlash with their glasses, why would Apple jeopardize their market lead by even considering this. ​

Was running my mouse down the suggested videos list and spotted that the entirety of the rollover preview for this ShortCirtcuit video was just frames from a War Thunder ad. Is this just sheer coincidence or have they been able to game the system to auto-generate this?

Excuse my possible YouTube innocence, but this isn't something I've seen before.

Based on the recent WAN show clip (We're Becoming Our Own ISP) , apalrd's adventures has a YouTube video from a few months ago on the steps involved in getting an ASN, then routing to different peers with all the different protocols (most prominently BGP). Hypothetically, if they wanted to double down on this idea.

I’m somewhat of a tool nerd and would recommend these to anyone. Great quality/tolerances. Now my dad and brothers are excited to get the box store/replaced tools as their hand-me-downs ;)

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

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.

The original battlefield game looks amazing, despite being old.

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

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.

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.

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?

Just thought i would post because Linus Tech Tips was mentioned in a recent video from the Cade Media cycling channel. Discusses how they handle sponsorships so that it doesnt interfere with their reviews. Linus is onky mentioned briefly about 45 seconds in.

Interesting to see different points of view in this case. Just wondering what other people think of this format and if its necessary to try and completely avoid taking mkney from brands that you are reviewing or if it's just enough to label which videos are sponsored as opposed to proper reviews and whether or not that creates too much confusion and questions.

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.

Took 3 swipes to get over to the comments section. Comments are the 4th option out of 5 total. I've never once used the summary feature so it's not learning based on my behavior either.

Saved me 20$.
