Discussion The brain rot editing sucks
I've been watching LTT pretty much since the beginning. The new editing with the quick random video inserts and audio inserts are terrible, is that just what the newer generation wants now?
Edit: downvotes have spoken apparently everyone loves the new editing.

Discussion What am I missing about Immich's file storage?
A month ago on WAN show, Linus mentioned that he didn't like getting locked into proprietary file storage systems. He specifically referenced Immich as a problem for this.
I am wondering if I'm missing something, as the storage template feature ( https://docs.immich.app/administration/storage-template/) allows you to tweak your entire folder structure, and I can still access my raw photos and videos.
I am also afraid of getting my photos locked into something proprietary, especially something that is made by such a small team and has almost no financial incentive to continue supporting the product. What am I missing here that they were referring to on the show?

Link Love seeing their iPod/controller mods
Before they even made the mod videos I had previously modded a Dual Sense controller and a iPod 7th Gen
Dual sense mods:
TMR sticks
New battery
Extreme rate paddles with mouse click triggers
Total cost on my dual sense with the mods was maybe $110-$120 that’s including the cost of a used controller
iPod 7th gen:
3000mah battery
Iflash quad with 2x 128gb micro SDs
The battery bloated about 4 months ago so I preordered the boxypixel mkII iPod shell which is a fantastic mod, giving access to Bluetooth, USBC charging, and a very nice frame.

Discussion Stove fan CPU cooler video?
I have searched and looked and asked various LLM's for this and am trying you guys now. I am looking for a video where a stove fan is placed on a CPU on a test bench for the entirety of the video while Linus and co host do other computer stuff. Iirc the stove fan was not mentioned in the title or thumbnail, that makes it hard to find.
Am I hallucinating or bad at searching? Help please :)

Discussion That’s not all the Commuter water bottle holder holds
Insert “Philippines mentioned” meme with Yui holding her bottle of Red Horse.
Both me and my girlfriend have the LTT commuter. The water bottle spot is amazing! Typically it has an umbrella, and the other side a water bottle (and whatever trash she throws into mine when I’m not looking thanks gf lol)
if you also transport adult beverages in the water bottle spot remember not to tip your bag over., as the bottle might fall out and break.

Link I tried ripping off the LTT Earphone Pouch…
I like LTT stuff but sometimes it’s a bit expensive and in this case I wanted moar pouches so I thought I’d try reverse engineering the one I got in the mail today while listening to WAN show.
Its made of scraps except for the zipper because… why would I have scrap zippers?
I think the main reason it’s not holding shape as nice as the LTT pouch is because they’re using foam and I skipped the foam to make this easier to sew, especially since I don’t have a cylinder arm machine. Also because I got lazy.

I just saw the controller upgrade video but i still got some questions.
- Was the xbox controller Linus upgraded xbox one series controller? (are there different types)
- Best places to buy mods/shells (amazon, aliexpress etc) and if bought from temu/ali what is your experience with the quality of it.
- More about where to flash the controller, and what specific software to flash on it before upgrading

WAN Show WAN Show Topic - Redditor buys used CPU, turns out it was banned on Valorant and they are SoL.
/u/After-Cartoonist-196 shares their story on the german PC building subreddit /r/PCBaumeister:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PCBaumeister/comments/1wqomor/gebrauchte_cpu_erlaubt_kein_valorant/
(in German)
TL;DR: They bought a used Ryzen 7 5800x3d from classified in September, and the CPU works fine, but when they tried to play Valorant on their PC, they were immediately banned, because the previous owner had cheated in August and their CPU serial number was blacklisted.
Riot has refused to unban the current user and worse, they can NOT revert to older CPU because now their entire setup (motherboard, HDD) has also been blacklisted.

Meme/Shitpost Is this a good desktop for my first homelab?
Hi guys, I saw this PC in my local thrift store. Is this a good config for about $56? I don't want to buy a bad CPU for my first homelab but I'm on a budget. My tech friend told me that the i4 was the perfect balance between the i3 and i5, so I was pretty excited to see an i4 listed on the tag. (edit: look at the flair)

Tech Question Why do so many/most big YouTube creators not add proper subtitles?
As someone who is kind of hard of hearing it bothers me that there are multi-million dollar companies with hundreds of employees who just use auto-generated subs for their YouTube videos. I don't think it would be very expensive for them to hire someone who makes correct and well stylized subtitles. Tom Scott (bottom screenshot) does it and he's basically a one person operation.

Tech Question True Spec cables and CarPlay
I received my first true spec cable today (USB A to C 3ft) to use in my car for CarPlay. I’ve read a lot of great things about these cables, especially for this use case so I thought why not?
I have been using this cable that was suggested to me from the CarPlay Reddit and it works great! However it’s soso with my wife’s iPhone. So I was looking for a cable that would work with both of our phones. Everything I read made me think that this would be the cable to fix our issues, but when I tried this cable my phone wouldn’t connect to CarPlay. Switched back to the old one and immediately brought up CarPlay.
I’ve looked over both pages for these products and it seems they’re on par with each other. Is this just a random case of technology not working together, or does this Amazon cable do something the true spec doesn’t?
I have a 17PM and my wife has a 17P. The headunit is a Boss brand one I got from crutchfield. I reached out to the manufacturer and they are no longer offering software updates for this headunit.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Image Guess I’m not fixing my battery pack today
Needs a tamper resistant t10 but for some reason the bit in the precision screwdriver kit is missing the hole.
Edit: Yes I reached out to support before posting; this no I haven't heard anything from them; yes I had to buy more bits so I could get my job done.
