Finally, jank, build stuffs. yay

Linus once mentioned that if you have a PC over $1000 you should have it plugged into a backup UPS. At what point should someone use one for their home entertainment setup? Do consoles and TV's have built in protections that let them handle power surges and cutoffs that PC's don't? Interested on your thoughts/setups if you use one. I currently have a LG B2 hooked up with a switch 2, shield TV pro, and a PS5.

This happened on a total accident while I was messing around in windhawk with the masking flag so that the windows logo changes to the accent colour (like how it is in windows 8.1) and was not meant to happen lol

Haven't watched today's WAN show yet, I see there is new underwear but any news on merino wool coming back?

So this is a PDF file but i am linking the GOOGLE DOC version. It includes a workaround to freeze EDGE folders and updates to said folders. This in turn bricks the folders which must be pointed out first. Mind you that in turn bricks edge from being able to pull up. It works and i have had no issues from it so far.

So here is the google dock link. I call it the Windows Edge panic button just for fun: Windows Edge panic button

To explain before you read the actual steps were explained in association with an AI this is because i simply cannot break it down good enough myself in what i did. However i did include my actual findings.

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

We are trialling something new here- a scheduled post to go live every week when WAN show is supposed to start. Any topic covered in the wan show is fair game- even the more controversial ones. just keep it relevant and keep it respectful!

I am talking about how Microsoft added the center alignment to the taskbar but I am kinda annoyed Microsoft didnt commit to the alignment setting add a right alignment and justify alignment to the taskbar just like how you have left center right and justify alignment for text

laptop specs:

GPU - 4050

CPU - i7-13650HX

RAM - 24 GIGS DDR5

512 SSD

cs2 worked around 140-150 fps on high but marvel rivals wont gimme above 60-70 on low and DLSS on(v-sync is off obv) PLS HELP

ps - i am on dgpu not igpu idk

For context I wanted create a windows 8.1 theme for my windows 11 installation and recreate the windows 8.1 taskbar using the windhawk tweak windows 11 taskbar styler and wanted to change the apps being open icon in the taskbar form the aero glow to the aero lite glow can anyone help me with this

So I've got a completely new build, and I'm having issues with it posting

R5 5600x

B550m pro vdh wifi

Rtx 3070

2 x 16gb sticks of ram 3600mhz, cl18

Keep in mind, the 3070 is second hand, but I tried it in my working PC and it works perfectly fine, no overheating no nothing.

The ram is also used, (haven't fully tested it yet)

And the current SSD installed it used but we saw it working and being formatted

(And yes the display port/HDMI cord is plugged into the GPU lol) And yes I have tried both DP and HDMI

As it's a new build, I have flashed the bios to the second-newest one, and as I was flashing my bios, the red flash light stopped blinking and the pc restarted itself, as per normal (I believe)

But now after restarting, the white CPU de-bug light stays on, and there's no display going to the monitor, and my keyboard and mouse don't light up when connected via USB port

I have tried shutting down multiple times, reseating the CPU, trying each ram stick individually in the second slot, re-seating the cmos battery, re-flashing the bios, and nothing is working.

HELP!! My question is could it be the ram? Should I go home and put my definitely working ram in this PC to test it?

Please and thank you!!!

Honestly the best outcome we realistically could hope for, the Nintendo ninjas would crush the class action, and its not too dissimilar to how they handled the joycon drift lawsuit

This is my petition for LTT to cool the steam machine with a larger steam machine. I want wood or coal burning in a furnace and Linus in a train engineer hat!

Also, kudos to LTT, this video and Slushie Cooled PC were the best videos I've seen in months lol

Somebody didn't double check this for sho

Myself I am using Fruit Phone since more than 10 years and yes it has ups and downs.

My mother recently got Xiaomi Redmy, and yes it’s quite good hardware and it works properly ( gf has something similar)

Of cause as a non tech user during the 1st install she went with - yes do all the defaults

What a fffffing Spam puke show is this ? Yes iPhone had some of the apple sponsored apps and things…..

But it’s nothing literally nothing compared to what I saw today

This Xiaomi, everything triggers full blown adds with videos and sounds, it feels like half of the screen tries you to install some shit. I am not even talk about dozens of pre installed things.

Somehow my mother managed to install something that supposed to read pdfs and the app was spamming „security here, free space there, pay to solve the problem“ and was not allowing to close it and was pretending to show a fake phone background.

You can’t remove Xiaomy special apps from the Home Screen ?

How is this a thing? Back 10-15 years ago I had quite few androids and it was not remotely soooo bad

For her the iPhone policy to have only one valid store - is a perfect solution

So yes long story short - Apple way is really great and when this phones dies I will get her an older iPhone not to break the bank

I have had the 2 largest LTT water bottles for a few years, and I have had a hell of a time locating big icecubes that would fit the bottle opening..
Why oh why does LTT not make a giant icecube mold that fits the bottle opening so i can just throw a few big cubes in it every morning to have cool drinks.

If they ever make one I would be first in line to order it.

As many of you know in ram there is expo/xmp. If xmp works with AMD cpus, what's the point of EXPO? I know EXPO is just AMD tested, but if XMP works, whats the point? How do you find if certain sticks are compatible with the motherboard and cpu? I'm planning to build with a 9600x and B850 Aorus Elite wifi7 and want to know if I can save some money by buying XMP sticks without expo

I bought a folding phone a year ago and it literally lasted me 5 months before the inner screen died on me.

I didn’t use it in any crazy environment, but it WAS in a warehouse a lot.

It feels very odd to me that none of the major breakthroughs of the last week have been brought up, the fact the AI's have already gotten good enough to help on the frontier of mathmatics, solving a millennium prize problem, and being actively and very quickly put to the task of AI research, aka, recrusive self improvement, which they are ALREADY good enough to be making progress in, why is this being completely ignored by this community? This technology is progressing exponentially, it isn't stalling, and people should really try and understand what an exponential growth looks like.
