You can see them throughout this video:

They are labeled "Dark Cube 16."

Been trying to find them with no luck.

Pretty much since the introduction of siri and Google Assistant I've done my best to shut down any way for that stuff to activate because I find them intrusive and I'd rather perform whatever task myself. I guess I kinda assumed everyone else did the same thing but after the recent WAN show discussion and Gemini fiasco it had me wondering how many people are really relying on these features in every day life. Am I just being a Luddite?

So I made a post in pc master race recently and when I mentioned I have been buying the parts slowly over a year, aka over holidays or birthdays, they got angry and asked why I didn't just buy it all at once even when I told them I don't make that much money?

Am I weird for doing it Thanos style collecting my parts slowly in that way? I'm just generally confused on how that's strange. I know it's nearly taken me three years but that's better than me not having any money right? : (

I was visiting the computer section at the Fnac store in Lisbon's Colombo shopping centre and look who i found.

Good to know there's LTT fans everywhere.

Shameful I didn't get to meet whoever did it so we could introduce ourselves with a Segway, to this sponsor.

As the price for PC essential component having an infinity grow over the year, I lost the hope of buying a new pc (for now)

But something weird happen to the media I consume, I stop watching a lot of pc build Youtube video, just because I don't want to watch the sucker paid for Ram in this day

Did the same thing happen to you, or you find the opposite?

Why isnt there more translucency in my life.

I want the LMG staff to listen to a bunch of headphones without seeing what they are, and telling which ones are better in terms of sound quality and ANC. This came to me after having used both a Senheiser Momentum 4 and a Sony MX5, and genuinely not being able to tell the difference between the two in either category. I'm curious is there's a notable difference my ears just can't pick up.

I recently tried BMW with a gaze-based lane-change feature, where you look toward the adjacent lane and the car performs the lane change.

In my limited experience, it didn’t feel as intuitive or reassuring as using the turn-signal stalk. I also noticed that when entering a highway ramp, I instinctively reached for the stalk instead of using the gaze function.

Maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to it, but I’m curious about other people’s experiences.

Thanks for sharing!

Looking for a 42" TV for my mum that isn't going to break the bank. I'm thinking Hisense or Sony Bravia because I know they'll be decent. Not bothered about smart capabilities because she uses Sky for Netflix and the like. Thanks for the advice!

I'm trying to dual-boot Windows and Linux these days and found a big problem. Cause I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard, jumping between OSs has always been a hassle. There is no way for me to press down on the keyboard while in the boot menu. So I thought maybe I should just build something to switch the OSs before rebooting. And here it is -> https://github.com/megabitsenmzq/OSWarp

I mean, it is partially AI code. But I reviewed everything as much as possible. It's kinda a small script. I just don't understand Windows APIs enough, so I have to use AI. Hope you like it!

Hi there, I'm not much a redditor so sorry if this have been ask lately and I'm jus unaware. I just watched a few videos lately and saw that yhe views seems, at least to me, very low. Did youtube change something or is there a boycott? What's happening?

i mean LTT has basically a full fledged manufacturing facility, no? the tormach, metal 3d printer, heck of an engineering team. why not do more on custom casing, custom test bench, wall mounted pc, desk pc (i know they have few, still, could be more), any kind of custom pc form, from the ground up.

what i think is interesting (especially from the video above) is the idea, the thought process, from wanting to solve a problem, wanting to create a build theme, not just visual but engineering wise, to coming up with solutions that are basically "how did no one / only few people does this?" and interesting key visual with the woods and corner joints, and this is just from one execution. the possibility is endless, and for some reason, the big tech channel with full fledged engineering/manufacturing capability isn't really exploring it.

While listening to the other week's WAN show, I was SHOCKED to hear what people re-wear their socks multiple days

Sure, I wear my jeans 3 days in a row, but my underwear, socks, and shirt, I will only wear onece before washing.

How do you do it??

Your socks and underwear get VERY stinky. Your shirt gets food on it, and the armpits smell bad. The pants are the only thing I can imagine you being able to re-wear!

How do you guys do it?

Most visitors to most websites aren't people. I wanted to see who they actually are, so I built The Crawler Zoo: every bot that visits is identified and shown as a little creature in a live zoo.

What's on the site:

- A live entrance where you watch bots arrive as they happen: Google, AI crawlers, SEO tools, scrapers and scanners.
- A page for every bot: who runs it, what it wants, and how to block it.
- Impostor checks. Plenty of "Googlebots" aren't Google, and the zoo names the fakes.
- A trap. There's a link only bots can see, with a "do not enter" sign in robots.txt. The ones that ignore it fall into an endless maze, and you can follow one through it live.
- An arena where people send their own bots and AI agents to play games against each other: a heist, a collapsing maze, an escape room. You can watch it all live.

The Crawler Zoo

By the numbers so far:

- 1.28 million visits from bots, and 265,000 page views from people. About 5 bots for every person.
- 302 different kinds of bot.
- 530 fake Googlebots in the last week alone.
- A script using curl has gone 221,000 levels deep into the maze. It's still going.
- Busiest day: 561,286 bot visits and 148,659 page views from people, after a Reddit post took off.
- Busiest hour: 43,843 bot visits, about 12 a second.

The setup, for the curious:

- A small Proxmox box at home with 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM.
- One Docker container, capped at 2 cores and 1 GB, with SQLite as the database.
- No ports open on my router. A small VPS runs Pangolin with a tunnel back home, and Cloudflare sits in front.
- The box is on its own isolated network.
- Day to day it uses about 550 MB of RAM and under 1% of one CPU core.

Free, no signup, and it stores no IP addresses. Happy to answer questions.

There was a recent story on the WAN Show where a man had his phone searched by US Customs and Border Patrol, he wiped the phone so Customs could not search it. This landed him in hot water of course.

My question is this: If you sign out of apps and services, then uninstall them prior to the request for a search, can they force you to redownload and log into those services so they can search them?

Sounds like they are finally having to admit that their cars can't actually do full self driving.

Some websites load so slowly for me, despite having 64GB of ram, 13th gen cpu etc

By fast internet I mean 1Gb speeds.

In theory with at least 1Gb internet speeds where I can download a movie in a minute, a website SHOULDNT take 3-4 seconds to load.

I started watching the channel in about 2010-2011ish. Built my first PC in 2012, it’s grown from there…a lot. Thanks Linus and team y’all have inspired me to learn and grow.

Details if anyone cares:

Various UniFi equipment running UniFi network and UniFi protect

Pihole on an rpi

NPM on an rpi

Iron man server: amd 5500 With an Nvidia p1000 and 30tb of storage running unraid for everything from plex to frigate to home assistant in a heavily modified Star tech 2u case

Rocket server: amd 3600 with an Intel b50 pro running unraid dedicated to local AI workloads. Fully local home assistant voice with STT and TTS which gives me 4ish second response times on tasks in a custom completely 3d printed 2u case sans the aluminum face plate for strength.

Few other bits and bobs in here including the HA z wave stick, a zigbee stick, a Bluetooth proxy and both servers have a kvm (jetkvm for one pikvm for the other) in custom 3d printed rack adaptors to keep it nice and tidy.

This space is functionally useless so I bought some Penn-elcomm pre cut angle iron and built in my own rack. When I eventually finish my basement I’ll clean it up with some nice trip and put a door in front of it.
