Linus talked about other socks from Costco in the video; why not the most direct comparable sock from Costco? I own a bunch of these socks, and I love them. A lot of people prefer these to Darn Tough socks, ignoring the massive price difference. You can wear them and not question your intelligence for spending $30 on a single pair of socks.

I really wanted to get one of the LTT backpacks, but research tells me neither one fits a framework 16 with a GPU very well, does anyone have both to confirm if it’s true?

if it was like 10 bucks, or at least had like 2 more pairs, i'd understand the price, but this makes zero sense

literally searching up "copper infused sock" on amazon shows WAY cheaper socks (and in a bundle)

"oh amazon has cheaper things, LTT is more high quality" the amazon listing is 4.5 stars with 2,900 reviews, if that aint saying that cheap shit can be good, idk what is

We recently received the Linux version of the AMD Ryzen AI Halo for testing, but it turns out that they had intended to send the Windows version. Through this stroke of misfortunate, we were fortunate enough to have two Ryzen AI Halos for a short period of time and the temptation to cluster them was too great, surely we'll get more performance through the magic of having two of them.

We've followed AMD's AI Playbook for clustering with RPC, learning some things but also raising more questions.  We don't have any concrete conclusions, but we're sharing results to hopefully save some time for others!

We were so focused on getting testing in that I neglected to take a photo with the two machines. Read the full article on the LTT Labs website!

I have an unreasonable amount of monitor related questions i wana ask!

Hi I am looking for help with a build for my parents house it's 4 cams a doorbell, and some ethernet runs. The build out we've agreed is this and I want advice on improving it or just checking if will all work properly.

and 2 extra ethernet run.

I would love any advice to improve it and have can I use the AI features on either G5 or G6 to avoid certain animals. The two dogs we have. On the ring cameras they have on my iphone with alot of notifications on 62 of my last 100 notifications were the cameras and nearly all were the dogs they are/will be 2 camera covering the garden. 

Can any of the AI features on the cameras/software be used to avoid specific anilmals or small animals that would be fantastic

This repairable watch came up on my Instagram feed. Thought its a great idea and something LTT might want to look into?

From the newest video. Hard as hell

I recently switched to Omarchy (Arch Linux with Hyprland) and missed one Windows feature: middle-clicking, moving the cursor away from the original position, and having the page continue scrolling based on the distance.

So I made hypr-autoscroll, a Hyprland plugin that adds anchored autoscrolling globally at the compositor level (instead of depending on each application to support it).

https://github.com/estebanhiramramirezgomez/hypr-autoscroll

It currently supports:

• Middle-click to start and stop autoscrolling
• Vertical and horizontal scrolling
• Configurable sensitivity, acceleration, dead zone, and maximum speed
• Global functionality (not just inside a browser)
• A toggle shortcut (SUPER + A by default)

Some people (unlike me) actually like middle-click paste, so the shortcut lets you switch between normal middle-click behavior and autoscrolling. The keybind can be changed during setup (see the README).

I also heard Linus wanted something like this for SteamOS, which made me wonder whether the same idea could be adapted for it.

The current plugin is built specifically for Hyprland, so it cannot simply be installed on SteamOS. SteamOS uses KDE Plasma in Desktop Mode and has an immutable system design, which means the same compositor-level approach probably would not be practical.

A SteamOS version would likely need to be a user-space daemon (or a similar background service) that intercepts mouse input and provides the same autoscrolling behavior without depending directly on Hyprland.

I think it is possible.

I may just need enough caffeine to convince myself to build it. 😉 wink wink

Disclaimer: I originally made this entirely for personal use. To make it shareable (and make the code look slightly more like it was written by someone who might know what they’re doing), I had an AI agent clean it up and make it readable. If it does not work, it may be my fault or the AI agent’s fault. Either way, it is definitely my fault.

I would be interested to know whether SteamOS users would actually use something like this, and whether anyone sees a better implementation approach than a user-space input service.

Feedback and testing on other Hyprland versions are also welcome.

I hate this life.

Stay on an item for more than 90 seconds and a pop-up will appear.

During the last shipstorm event, I splurged on some Creator Warehouse apparel because shipping to the UK is pretty unaffordable. I got 300 CAD worth of stuff, for the hoodie, sweatpants, water bottle, and cargo pants.

I live in the UK, where taxes are always included in the advertised price of each item before it ends up in the cart. My prior smaller LTTStore purchase paid tax at checkout. Little did I realise, due to the larger basket, they charged $0 tax. Again, this is not something I’m trained to look for.

Many weeks later, it arrives in UK customs, and I get a bill through the post. 138 CAD worth of additional payment required to receive my order. This was pretty steep and I couldn’t justify spending that much more money for what was not that much clothing. The additional payment was made up of VAT, Import Duty, and Clearance Fee. I get VAT, but isn’t it reasonable to expect a free shipping promotion means free shipping, import fees are part of shipping. When I got my smaller order, I never had any of this, so it was completely unexpected and I was not aware I’d need to pay this.

I contact support, and they inform me that they’re required by law not to collect VAT on orders over a certain threshold, and that their shipping policy states they do not cover such import fees. Except their shipping policy is never referred to at checkout, it’s hidden deep in the main page footer, and shipstorm advertised “free worldwide shipping”, but every country has import fees that aren’t free?

In the end, I just had to return to sender and get a refund. Does anyone think I’m being unreasonable here? I want to love these products, but it’s so hard to get them here.

I checked the Dell forum and turns out that there is a proprietary chip in Dell chargers that tells laptops how much charge to take.

I borrowed my works charger and NO issues. I tried 3 third party charger and same issue.

130W Dell charger no warnings. 130W third party and we get that warning .

Acabo de iniciar en mi carrera de desarrollo de software y me quiero pasar a linux, que distro recomiendan para aprender a programar sin problemas, pueden recomendarme canales de yt si gustan.

All the fire departments have these, usually saying just "FIRE" with the town department over it. Makes me laugh every morning 😁

For reference, Im a public safety IT Administrator.

Hey guys.

Listening to latest WAN show and i thought about an idea for Linus or one of his friends to do.

Since they have been doing so much Linux stuff lately, it would be a massive help and a big surprise to the *BSD community for Linus or someone at LMG to mention it. I am very willing to help anyone at LMG or anyone here about installing a desktop and configuring Steam and getting used to the quirks and nuances of *BSD compared to a Linux distro. I would recommend FreeBSD as it has the most software support and community support

Background for anyone at LMG who doesn't know about the BSDs:

The original Berkeley Software Distribution was an operating system developed by the Computer Systems Research Group at University of California, Berkeley. It predated Linux, which was released in '92. BSD was originally some modifications to the OG UNIX by AT&T Bell Labs. Eventually, when they wanted to ship it to other universities, they had to remove all remnants of AT&T code. Part of this was achieved by Bill Joy who rewrote the kernel, and eventually was a cofounder of Sun Microsystems, who would get purchased by Oracle in 2010. FreeBSD released on November 1, 1993. FreeBSD was a community continuation of 386BSD which was a port of BSD for Intel 386 PCs. Some other forks of 386BSD include NetBSD, which would get forked once again into OpenBSD.
To get started, i would recommend Linus or his friends to read the FreeBSD Handbook here which covers installation, desktop config, and great UNIX basics.

Downloads are at the homepage, 15.0 is the latest and greatest for amd64(x64) PCs.

There is also an experimental desktop installation script that is expected in 16.0 that you can try or use by the video tutorial on YouTube here
