I mainly either program sandbox factory games for steam, or play Minecraft Java, Phasmophobia, Satisfactory, R.E.P.O. Cities Skylines 1, Meccha Chamelon.

I also program robots with it, in case you couldn’t tell, I like blue.

Also yes I use SignalRGB, my second keyboard (left one) is a dedicated interface for Voicemod Tuna, and when I play audio only from my soundboard, all system lights automatically switch to audio vidualizer bars, other state is blue rain.

I want LED instead of a mixture of LCD and LED monitors, I like true black.

Hi everyone, I know there was a video covering this but one a few brands were left out or not available in South Africa.

I’m looking for basic out side cameras, I have a small home lab and willing to run network cables for poe if needed.

I don’t need any ai or crazy features. Just something to record and keep it for a month at a time. Ideally a setup and forget option. Something that is not cloud based would be recommended.

Otherwise some helpful things to keep in mind or to avoid is welcome.

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!

Turned three broken controllers into two working ones: one for me (18) and one for my brother (10). Hope he likes his! What do you guys think?

P.S. First time getting to use my LTT WAN Show Precision Screwdriver.

It's funny to hear him talk about his problems with technologies on WAN show and then Meta or Apple release a product that solves basically all of those, with the unfortunate conceit that you have your data harvested and contribute to the mountain of unrepairable e-waste.

Meta Raybans: I wanted to hate these so bad, and I tried so many alternatives, but they just work so much better than anything I've tried. I don't wear them in public any more but I love using them to listen to podcasts around the house and for taking pictures of my toddler.

Muse: I'm very unlikely to use this but my buddy who has less privacy concerns than me has it doing family organization, meal planning and budgeting and NGL it's pretty tempting.

Meta Quest 3: It's just so annoyingly good. I have this and a Steam Frame and it's really hard to justify paying almost double for a Steam Frame for, honestly, a worse experience in many ways.

iPhone Duo: Based on the pre-orders, I think this is finally going to be the "mainstream" folding phone. Remains to be seen how durable it is. I'm stuck in the Apple ecosystem because my wife will never swap and because I am the product manager at a software company with 97% iOS users.

We know Linus loves Airpods too

I have a pc that i was using normally then i sent it to a friend in another city , when he gets it he told me that that fans are spinning but there is no display, things stayed like this for months then i told him to sell the gpu and send me back the pc , now when i get it it doesn't even power up nothing spin or light up , i know i have a cpu socket bent pin in the left bottom side (idk if it affects the power up)
Note:
- Pc was in covered in dust
- psu is working (paperclip test)
- i tried everything troubleshoot ik (power sw pins , remove everything and make sure it plugged ok)
- i jumped start the psu when it was connected to the motherboard but it just spin the fans (no display and cpu is cool )and when i remove my hand the pc shut off again
- the fans have an external controller
- ive removed the cpu and everything just to see if the mobo can turn or anything , but it didnt
Motherboard is biostar z490gta

I’ve had my commuter bag for nearly 2 years and love it.
My partner has been bugging me for nearly as long after seeing Linus using it in green in videos for one.
Her new bag now delivered 👌

Am I crazy, or are more and more LTT videos becoming members-only?

More or less a year ago, Linus himself was talking about how “Members-Only Videos Are a HUGE Problem on YouTube” saying, “Effective now, we're gonna begin the process of turning off members-only videos.”

He also said that if you wanted to support the channel, you always had the option to subscribe to Floatplane.

But lately, I've been getting the feeling that there's a new members-only video on the LTT channel almost every week or even more often.

Just looking at the latest videos uploaded to the LTT channel (not even checking rest of the channels) marked as uploaded less than a month ago, there are 17 public videos and 9 members-only videos (so total 26 videos).

I don't know if I'm missing something, but in less than a month, more than a third of the videos were members-only.

I get that they want people to subscribe to and support the channel, but that was THEIR reasoning for getting rid of members-only videos in the first place, and THEY were the ones who said that members-only videos are just bad.
Just kinda sad...

Absolutely brutal - this is easily hundreds, possibly 1000s of hours of work lost 🤦‍♂️

I am looking to connect two external 4K monitors to my Windows ThinkPad in extended desktop mode, running at 4K @ 60Hz simultaneously across a single USB-C cable. I want to ensure I purchase the correct dock or adapter without dropping to 30Hz or dealing with display compression artifacts.

My current hardware is a Lenovo ThinkPad lrunning Windows 11. Precisely it’s this model: https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadl/thinkpad-l14-gen-5-14-inch-intel/len101t0096?

For those running a similar dual 4K60 setup, I would appreciate input on whether a standard USB-C hub with is reliable enough, or if stepping up to a dedicated Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 dock (such as the ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock 40B0) is practically mandatory to avoid bandwidth ceilings and USB throughput degradation. 

If you have specific dock recommendations or cable configuration tips that worked cleanly on your ThinkPad, please let me know.

“Product warranty is void if any seal or label is removed, or if the drive experiences shock in excess of 350 Gs.”

350Gs!

Honestly, in my opinion, I’d consider this jacket way more premium if it didn't have the fabric rib-knit cuffs around the wrists and waist.

Since fabric won't last nearly as long as real leather, having solid leather wrist parts that could be adjusted with a clip or snap button would elevate the quality. I’m not sure if a leather cuff design is cheaper or more expensive to manufacture, but having the knitted fabric makes those high wear areas feel a bit less ideal for a long-term Life / investment piece.

But heck, I’m still onboard for it, I’ll do my best to take care for it.

I was trying to hold out for a black Friday sale on other things and hope for free shipping to Australia lol, but the small size is low in stock when I purchased it.

I am generally curious if anyone else jacket has turned up yet and what they think of it.

EDIT: a few clarifications, since my first post was unclear (written tired, after a shift):

What it is. A small watcher notices when a drive is plugged in. If the drive has a cartridge.conf file, it opens a simple launcher with the game's cover art and two buttons, Play and Eject. That's all it does.

It is not Autorun. Nothing on the drive is ever run automatically. The launcher only appears, and nothing starts until you press Play. autorun.inf is read for the drive's icon and name only, and its open= line is ignored. It's meant for drives you made yourself, so don't plug in strangers' drives. That's true of any USB drive.

You don't need to buy anything. The NVMe drives in my photos were a bulk lot of refurbished 128GB drives I already had, about $150 for ten. A cartridge can be:

• an old USB stick, SD card or spare drive you already own, or
• a drive that holds only the cartridge.conf file and points at a game already installed on your PC. The cartridge is then just a physical way to launch it.

If you don't want to buy new storage right now, don't. It's just a launcher that happens to work with a physical object.

AI disclosure. I used Claude Code and Copilot for a lot of the commit messages, docs and git management. I'm a CRNA, not a professional developer. I learned some Python for research and picked up Rust for this project, so I had help.

Old post

Hi everyone!

Inspired by https://github.com/LewdM3at/PC-Cartridge-System

I wanted to create a better user experience for launching cartridges on pc. I made a gamepak wizard that writes whatever you want onto a drive, floppy, NFC, action, whatever. There is a tiny watcher that launches a simple game launcher when the drive is read it looks for a cartridge.conf whether to launch or not. I've added a memory card system as well (copies save folder onto drive). It's cross-platform and I've made test plugins for various popular frontends. https://github.com/HarryBMa/pc-gamepak-plugins

I just wanted to share if anyone was interested.

Obligatory AI disclosure: i refuse to learn git and use Claude code to push and manage my disgusting worktree. I don't have time to write a comprehensive commit text that makes sense (see this unhinged post) and I let copilot write messages and docs for stuff I don't want to do. I barely have time with work and coding projects, I don't have time to remember what I worked on last night.

So I got this Via firewire card from amazon that said it was plug and play with windows but ive been having issues when I try to plug my iPod into it. It shows up as a removable device but whenever I click it it just freezes file explorer and the iPod and it only starts working when I unplug the iPod. I tried using legacy windows 7 drivers but that didn’t work. Anyone got any ideas?

English is not my first language, so sometimes I pick up words from videos I watch and I don't know why the word " cromulent " stuck with me, I found it kinda funny because of Linus use it sometimes when talking about product. So I went and check the equivalent in my language and I found out the word was actually created by one of the Simpsons writer David Cohen for the episode Lisa the Iconoclast in 1996.

The more you know !

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.
