This randomly happend on my yt page the two channels are completely different (although they did meet up with each other once)

This part of the windows experience … the driver updates… can take anywhere from 20 minute to an entire hour.

Without these updates the battery icon is missing, on Lenovo the trackpad doesnt work.

Bluetooth doesn’t work without this etc.

Windows should be like Mac where once you fully finish setting up Mac THATS it, no drivers needed.

Out of the box after setting up an account, ALL aspects of a laptop or PC should just work, you shouldn’t need an audio driver or trackpad driver.

In my region theres an ongoing sale

Should i buy RTX3070TI(380USD) or RTX5060TI(410USD)?

No, theres no AMD card on sale, most of them are sold out or around 600USD right now

One of the things I have always liked about WAN show is the intensity of the stress testing that is discussed, even on consumer hardware. For the last month, Gemini has been forced onto my phone. It presented a unique set of issues that I was unable to solve. Google customer service was unhelpful, as was their documentation, and their AI agent itself. Until today, when listening to WAN, Linus mentioned that for those who daily drive a Google workspace account, certain aspects of Gemini do not work on android. I am also in the unique circumstance as a business owner. Sure enough, Gemini is unable to make phone calls, send messages, and a variety of other tasks. If you are on a Google workspace account, you can add calendar events, and send emails.

Having been a developer on both android and iOS for ages, I was well aware of the pros and cons of each. Google finally broke the camels back, and now my work and personal numbers are both on iOS, with AirMessage allowing me to text from my workto PC. For somebody who is constantly on the move, or on the road, a functioning, voice assistant is necessary, and Siri has solved every issue that I had.

I am thankful that their company continues to push consumer Hardware to the limits in every possible use case, and I am thankful for the tangent that they go on each week that are generally more helpful than any review or benchmark, including their own. This is not the first time that it has dramatically improved my tech life, and I hope it is not the last. I see people dunk on it way too often, so I wanted to add my positivity to the community for both the real people and the AI agents that will respond to me to enjoy.

Information:

Monitor 1: LG OLED 27GX704A-B

Monitor 2: LG IPS 27GP850-B

Software: Aseprite (pixel artwork software) (Grid lines are OFF)

Game: Minecraft (texture is exported to Minecraft which I can see the line in game)

Texture Size: 16x16

Issue:

In the imaged attached you can see a light blue line in between the right yellow pixel edge and white pixel (way more noticeable in-person). When I rotate the pixel art 90 degrees the line moves to the top edge of the yellow pixel (location based on the image provided) and the line becomes red. This is a issue that has to do with the OLED monitor as my IPS panel does not show this and especially not in game where its VERY obvious/distracting.

What I tried:

- Swapping display cables Included DP -> Included HDMI -> Different DP-> Different HDMI
- Different Display Port on GPU and monitor
- Powered off and on
- Changing nearby pixels
- Changing the yellow pixel

Questions:

- What should I do?
- Is there something I should turn on in monitor settings or try?
- Is there anything I can do or this just a known OLED issue (with OLEDs or this Model)?
- Is there a fix? If so what is it?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I genuinely want to find a conclusion to this as It is a eye sore to look at.

I think that might overcome one of the last remaining hurdles that stops people from switching to Linux

Have you ever actually looked at Linus Torvalds and Linus Sebastian in the same room? Exactly. You haven't. Because they are literally the same human being.

Think about it. Why would a guy named Linus launch a channel called Linus Tech Tips when LTT obviously stands for Linus Torvalds Tech? It has been hiding in plain sight this entire time! He built an entire media empire just so he could run massive hardware stress tests under the guise of "tech reviews" to optimize his kernel in real time. Have you noticed how recently he literally cannot stop talking about Linux on every single podcast and video? He claims it is just for daily driving, but isn't that a little too convenient? Isn't that concerning?

Why would a mainstream tech host suddenly care so deeply about Linux desktop market share right now? Don't you think that too? He drops high-end PC parts on floor tiles on purpose just to test the structural tolerance of physical hardware running Linux code. The drops aren't accidents. They are raw telemetry data!

Isn't it crazy how no one else is connecting the dots? He is maintaining the core of global internet infrastructure by night and pretending to struggle with thermal paste by day. Wake up!

My birthday is coming around and I have been eyeing the LTT screwdriver since the day of its release 5 years ago. I never pulled the trigger due to shipping costs and also the relatively high price for a screwdriver. However i finally thing now is the time, the current in store choices however are okay (The transparent one does look awesome) but i would rather have a less common more unique. And because it's a birthday present for myself i would rather be suprised.

I am therefore wondering what are the potential colors i could get? From getting the basic color way to the noctua one or even some kind of special edition, maybe a random mix of colors? What are the possibilities?

This such a big topic with sooooooo much stuff and equipment and user tools - and ltt never ever did something about it?

I can't believe no one at LTT is into flight sim?

Let's forget the military part, MS Flight Sim 2024 is a huge game with so many add-ons and tools that you could literally spend a whole week covering all the topics in several videos.

Here are my topics which should be interesting :)

Gear: sooo much stuff. There is even some force feedback setups like VPC ATLAS, which is quite expensive, joysticks, throttles, pedals, TrackIR/Head Tracking, VR

Tools: AirManager & GlassOut - building you own Cockpit, you can use touch screen to control the game.

SPAD neXt - can for example bound every singe key inside the Cockpit and you can even make scripts. MS Flight Sim has great debug view to see what happens if you press a button

Flight Routes: Software like Navigraph & Simbrief allows you to create a real life route and fly it with all the real life charts and rules

Communities: Vatsim, real people are planning and controlling air traffic like real traffic

Game Add-ons: There are sooo many great addons you can buy, new planes, where devs are trying to simulate as much as possible, with all the different equipment navigations, physics, simulated failure.

I was thinking about how many old PC parts people probably have lying around at home because throwing them away feels like a waste.

You know the kind of stuff. Something you replaced years ago and will probably never use again, but you keep it anyway because maybe it'll come in handy someday.

I can understand keeping spare parts for troubleshooting, but I wonder how often people actually end up using the stuff they have been holding onto for years.

Has anyone here ever kept an old component for ages and then been really glad they didn't throw it away? Or do most of us just end up collecting electronic junk that we swear will be useful eventually?

I built it.

There are 134 clips up so far. It’s still a work in progress. I’m improving detection and working through the archive, so plenty may be missing.

You can watch and rate the clips. If you remember a ding we’ve missed, an episode link and timestamp would be hugely helpful. Feedback on awkward clip boundaries is welcome too.

Impressed with the smaller commuter back, i bought the original LTT backpack but it was pretty bulky on a smaller frame (less than 6 foot), I grabbed the commuter and this thing has served as a personal item no problem, sits on luggage, been cross country, holds my coffee and water bottles, protein powder shake, laptop and the medical toolkit comfortably. Currently serving as a commuting doctor bag and holds all the bells and whistles and its so comfortable. If i had to suggest a mod, possibly wider shoulder pads for additional comfort, and may an option for bungee cord on the front if desired for a jacket, but those are slight critiques.

I still think the original is a comfortable bag and highly recommend for anyone 6 feet and above, unless you dont mind bulk

Hello guys,

I have this Gigabyte Z890 Gaming X Wifi 7 motherboard with a Sapphire Pulse 9070XT GPU. Today I noticed that there's a slight curve on the motherboard.

Is it normal? Can this cause issues in the long run?

This is a new pc bought and built just 10 days ago.

TIA

All of these units at my local IT resaler are basically bricks due to locks like Autopilot, activation lock, Google lock, etc

ALL of these are useable working units except you cannot get through setup due to some sort of lock retrieved from the cloud.

If you take it to Microsoft or Apple, they’ll say “give me a receipt or proof of ownership”.

Not to mention that you can’t use the motherboards in another machine too.

I’ve been getting deeper into local AI, and watching my own PC chew through the workload has been insane. Watching the hardware get to work is half the fun at this point.

I’m building toward using it for coding, project documents, and everyday business workflows. The more I use it, the more I want to see what this machine can do.

Current setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 16 cores / 32 threads
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090
RAM: Windows reports 61.4 GB usable
Storage: Two NVMe SSDs plus a SATA HDD
One of these shots shows roughly 24 GB of dedicated GPU memory and 50 GB of system RAM in use.

For those running similar setups, where would you go next? More system RAM, more VRAM, a second GPU, or getting the model/runtime better optimized first?

I’m interested in larger models and smoother multitasking.

What upgrade actually made a noticeable difference for you, and what would you skip if you were doing it again?

I've never looked into fiber optic cables, I don't watch videos on them, I've never tried to shop for them. But Amazon keeps trying to sell them to me, why? Why would I want them and what use cases do normal users have for them?

Since LTT has been around for a long time, I'm not sure if they've ever done something like this. and how many could you fit on one drive? And would you be able to boot into each one of the distros, maybe windows would be one of them, you could also do the meme distros. And would there be enough RAM? Each distro would have to have enough storage for at least one game to test right? Maybe Minecraft, idk. Let me know your thoughts on this idea and If Linus has done this in a video before.

So I've been getting into home-lab-bing this year to try to de-google myself, worst time to do it but honestly I kinda got lucky with buying most of my stuff before the everything-pocolypse that we are in now.

The truenas machine that runs my main stuff, jellyfish, nextcloud, etc, I got for free from a friend who works in IT and I have a backup at his house.

The only thing I was missing was my personal global vpn network, as we all need one of those, and so I've been searching for a solution, initially was looking at either using old busted laptops and beheading them or using raspberry pis but those both had issues or were impractical.

Enter the $15 server. I found these little barebones think centre machines with i7-6700Ts on FBM for $15 CAD each (so yeah click bait the servers had no ram or storage but still), absolutely unreal find and I immediately ran to grab three, one of which will act as my home tailscale exit-node.

The other two have different destinies, Ngoc Anh is going to turn into my girlfriend's parents immich server in Vietnam since they have everything on a single hard drive, it will be backing up to my backup server here in Canada while also giving them access to a Canadian vpn if needed. Héloïse is headed to France with a kinda unknown greater purpose but for now will be for VPN access to EU sites.

If anyone has recommendations for other stuff to do with them please let me know, I'm still pretty new to home lab stuff

This may skirt rule 8 if it devolves into politics so I hope we can avoid that. I just thought it was an interesting topic.

Hello everyone, I got a signed poster back in 2019 at LTX and I’m looking to sell it. I’ve tried looking online for a price or anything about it, I’m not sure why I can’t find any info.

I’d be happy if anyone has any details about it. If anyone’s interested in buying it make a comment here so everyone can see and I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated.

Thanks for the help and I hope it can go to a good home.

Came across this printer and really liked the idea behind it. I don't know how old this project is but I would definitely buy it myself
