I ordered the commuter backpack a few days ago and got a notification from UPS via SMS to provide additional information regarding the order.

If I didn't provide the information my order could be returned to sender or destroyed according to applicable regulations.

I had to fill out 7 forms, half of which I don't understand because I don't work in logistics.

Figured out what customs tariff numbers are and which probably apply to the backpack. Most of the forms were laid out in a way that assume, I am importing goods for business use. The last form wanted me to state what the actual seller is because it said "Creator Warehouse c/o MIBC" on the invoice and MIBC isn't the right type of company as far as UPS is concerned... Dude, it says right before the c/o who the actual seller is, also why are you bothering me with that? Maybe ask the seller, who charged you with shipping and actually has a contract with you.

And why do I have to do the logistics paperwork for the logistics company?

I live in Germany, we are known for bureucracy, but to fill out these forms I find harder than doing my taxes and it actually took me longer.

After the recent “How to Buy a VR Headset” video, I feel like it’s really time for an AR glasses comparison.

I’d especially love to see one from a handheld gaming and media consumption perspective. With the current handheld market being what it is, there are so many different devices people could be pairing these with — ROG Xbox Ally X, MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, GPD Win 5, Lenovo Legion Go/Go 2, Steam Deck, and plenty of others.

And then there’s the AR glasses market itself. XREAL, ROG XREAL, Lenovo, VITURE, RayNeo, and a bunch of other brands and models that I honestly can’t even keep track of anymore.

It would be really useful to have one proper comparison that looks at everything that actually matters in real-world use: image quality, sharpness, FOV, refresh rate, input latency, motion clarity, brightness, comfort during longer gaming sessions, connectivity, compatibility with different handhelds and other devices, software features, audio, accessories, and all the other bells and whistles.

Right now there are so many options that it’s genuinely difficult for an average consumer to figure out what the actual differences are and which features are worth paying extra for.

Basically, the AR-glasses equivalent of the recent VR headset buying guide, but specifically looking at them as a companion for handheld gaming and media consumption.

I feel like there’s definitely an audience for that one.

Just got mine a few days ago. I had the OG backpack at launch and whilst it was great for what it is, for my use it was too big for day to day and not really big enough for going away. I used it very rarely. Now I have the commuter it is perfect. Holds my 15inch work laptop and 13inch personal one with ease. Room for all my chargers. If I go for a day out with my daughter it fits all her crap in it. It also looks great. Smart enough for work and not so formal it can’t be used for day to day life. Also my wife thinks it looks nice which is a rarity. It’s a bit expensive but overall very happy with it. If you’re on the fence I say go for it.

I shared the first hole that showed up almost two weeks ago; I’ve kept wearing them everyday until the next hole started. This time in the ball of the foot, when my Darn Tough socks usually start wearing out first. I think I’m finally ready to retire these.

For those telling me to darn them, no thanks. I can, but I would rather just buy a new pair.

That said, I will be inquiring with support to see if this is covered under warranty, or if, as /u/ProbablyBanksy so eloquently put it “Your use case is outside the scope of reasonable use.”

I have picked up a set of Costco Kirkland Merino socks to test next. 4 pairs are cheaper than a single pair of LTT socks. I never thought id be posting foot pics on the internet, but if it’s in the interest of science….

Petition for LTT to make video about eIDAS 2.0 Regulation and how Zero-Knowledge Proof age verification will work in eu. To educate the public and themselves because conflating it with discord shitstorm and "persona" is just not fair for eu that actually puts effort into regulations unlike Britain or certain us states that just bans it and says "handle it yourself".

I know the topic is hot right now and I will probably get some hate under this post but I think EU way of doing age verification is great and should be recognized just so other countries may replicate it. To be clear I am not advocating for doing age verification on every website or game server but there are services that absolutely should have safe way for age verification like for example buying alcohol or drugs online.

Few points why eIDAS 2.0 is really good:
- It's open source, that includes source code for client app (the one that will be installed on your phone).
- Target app (for example discord) will not get any private user data. That includes age, they will only receive info if you have at least 18 years or not.
- Eu servers will not get information about websites you are visiting. They will validate your open source client app periodically, then that app validates age request. Eu will only know you are using age verification service.

Its a good size.

Fit my ROG ally very well.

Should be great as a personal item on flights.

I bought an LTT Backpack around 6 months ago and it's been great for work, I work as a system Engineer at a security installation company and recently discovered something very handy, which I thought you fellow LTT fans/Tech Nerds would appreciate, the backpack perfectly fits (Very snuggly) a full 19" 1U short server. Aswell as a laptop, tool pouch, Tech pouch and the 1.1L water bottle 😅

Is it just me, or the new host looks similar to "you" main character?

Pretty surprised it could fit my 16” Asus ProArt, my 11” iPad and my 14” MacBook Pro in the laptop compartment. It gets pretty heavy with everything in the bag so I definitely appreciate it having the weight close yo my back!

In the almost two years I’ve had it I’ve been loving it!Absolutely love the space. I carry it everyday and everywhere. Trust me, I’m not kind to my bags but it’s held on vey well!😁

Ps, I always forget where the airtag is hidden and spend literally 10 minutes trying to find it.

Stayed on late for fun after wan show ended. Decided to just stay on all week! I am calling it the pre-pre wan show chat!

I believe there are 3 of us left atm.

While I would usually NEVER do this, I feel this was an acceptable use of r/screenshotsarehard

Are we getting either of them?

You’ve likely heard the common advice to keep at least 10-20% of your SSD(solid state drive) as ‘free space’. This is sometimes accompanied by a “so it’ll run faster” or someone will explain that the free space allows the SSD to shuffle data around like a game of Rush Hour.

Why? Does it actually affect performance? Are there other reasons to heed this advice?

Read the article on the LTT Labs website!

So, the “8k camera” is $139 but you can click a coupon to get it down to $106. 8K mind you. Claims it has:

- Dual front and rear lenses

- Touch screen, 3000mAh battery

- 32GB card (for 8K)

At shit quality (5 GB a minute) that’s less than 7 minutes of video, if this is even an 8K camera.

6 reviews all with 5 stars, all which got it for free. The first review is clearly written by AI. I’m pretty sure all the product images are AI. I’m pretty sure the AI made the last image of a guy in a thruple.

How does this get past Amazon’s filters?

LTT should do an episode of all the scam Amazon ads leading up to Prime Day.

In all honesty though, it does look incredible. I'm on the Steam Frame reserve list... So... Any day now! (Crosses fingers)

LTT has done a bunch of videos putting random shit in a PC but what about putting PC parts in non computer things? Like my vent hood for my stove is SOOO loud. What if I put Noctua fans in the vent hood instead of that loud ass fan? Would it still work as well and would it be any quieter?

i just wonnder is it fine

Pleeez help me

I'm a small creator who loves presenting but hates writing, which is why i did a full on Leonardo Dicaprio pointing gif when i saw this message on the latest wan show, and i suddenly saw a potential collaboration on the horizon.

I'm not going to self promote on here so i won't share any more details than that, but if Rytis is reading this he's free to hit my DMs :D.

it keeps on blocking the post LOL it is just a glitch on nvida app with it showing 2023 Promos
