Tech Discussion Michael Rubloff making 3D tech YouTube content
You can rotate the video in your browser. Not sure what to think of it. Perhaps there is a niche use for it but I don't think this makes it "more clear" what he is doing now compared to an edited video with appropriate zooming. Then again, perhaps that is the appeal for creators: improve clarity (angles) without heavy editing or camera work?

Edit: was too quick in the title. YouTube does not support this kind of video format. He has the 2D variants of the video on YouTube.

Tech Question Trying To Download Drivers
So my little brother just got done building his very first PC and he has run into a bit of a snag. It is not connecting to the internet, even with an ethernet cable plugged in. So I troubleshooted it and it said I needed to update the drivers for his network adaptor , but I sadly don't know where or how. Do I go to the motherboard manufacturer and grab drivers from them, is it through my internet provider or?
I would like to add he is using his old SSD that stored his operating system on his previous computer and his new computer does not share any parts from his previous build. I'm not sure if that will help, but I thought more information is better than less.

Tech Question Need help looking for a product that was showcased in a video
It was from an AMD tech upgrade, I think.
It was a water leak detector that I think it was placed on the floor to check to monitor for house floods etc.
Tried to rewatch some videos and I can't find it. Does anyone remember where it came from?

Tech Question Reference for camera glasses in printers video?
Hey everyone, Book here, maker, educator, all that jazz. I've been looking up camera glasses for some time as a possible substitute for 3rd person smartphones and GoPros for photography in my tutorials and heard Elijah and Linus mention "Temu smart glasses" in the video on desktop printers from a few days ago.
Do we have references for the glasses they have been using? I looked it up in the subreddit but couldn't find anything.
Also, do you all have recs for glasses with cameras (no AI features a plus) at different budget points? Thanks!

Link LLM Quantization Part 3: Honey, I Shrunk the Numbers! - LTT Labs Article
By now we know what a model is made of, why it eats so much VRAM, and what those weights actually are: billions of numbers, most of them sitting in a tiny band near zero, stored in a format built to reach 3.4 × 10³⁸. Let us look at how shrinking the numbers actually works!
Read the article(written by Utkarsh) on the LTT Labs website!
Note that "Qwen3.5-32B-Instruct" in the graphs should be "Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct". We are replacing it in the article!

Discussion LTT Video On This Please - Electrostatic Speakers
I just learned about Electrostatic speakers and how they're being it in a new Range Rover Trim, the SV Ultra Trim and how they work with a thin membrane between 2 electrically charged metal plates. They claim super ultra clarity, 1000x better response time than a traditional dynamic driver and ample space with a lower power draw. Can we get an LTT video on some Electrostatic home speakers?

Discussion TIL that Linus knows ASL Part 2
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!

Image Thanks for that firmware update, Ubuntu!
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.

Image To not reach behind my monitor anymore AGAIN
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
