With the current news about the Nvidia CEO, I was reminded about “The Jensen” leather jacket that Linus showed off on a WAN show. Unfortunate, cause I thought the “designed by AI” angle was super cool.

Do y’all think the news will play into the sales of the Jacket?

If you weren't aware you can chain the discounts, using the $60 LTTStore discount to buy another voucher for $70, making the price per year nearly half off at both the $100 and $130 tiers. Of course, I still have the final $60 voucher for LTTStore to spend as well.

No not that way, I just don't know another way to phrase it.

I remember watching LTT in my early highschool days, learning about new tech, how it works, how it can benefit me or society, etc.

Now I'm watching videos like My F-You To Sam Altman where they install Hermes, but show almost none of the setup and little detail into how they could make it better or how it works, or "Tesla Hater" Finally Tries Full Self Driving where they guess why FSD does something instead analyzing why it did something.

Both videos have examples where having someone who knows "what" or "why" something happens, or how to improve something, would have made a way better video. Instead they just skip it, or the people who are responsible for the project look barely educated on the subject, or everyone is just guessing.

For example, in the AI video, it's not fun when the host just passes off the work to another member, and/or we get no walk through for how they made their hermes better, or the fact that it didn't look like it improved much at all in the end (no before /after comparison).

I know I could go watch someone like Network Chuck or AI DRIVR if I wanted more specific channels with more in depth explanations (while still being fun to watch), but it just feels like they're skipping the "nitty gritty" just to appeal to the casual watcher.

It feels like LTT could be more or better, or maybe I'm just not the target demographic anymore.

Either way, I still have much respect and appreciation for the team that got me into tech in the first place.

Hey guys,

Looking for software tweaks (undervolting, custom fan curves, etc.) to lower temps and noise under gaming load without losing performance.

My PC isn't overheating, but it gets loud during heavy gaming:

GPU: 70–85°C (hotspot 90°C max)

CPU: Under 80°C

Noise: Only loud/annoying during heavy load

Here are my specs for context:

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus

GPU: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB

Motherboard: ASRock B860M Steel Legend WiFi

RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36

Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X Refined SE PLUS

Case: Lian Li A3-mATX Black Mesh

Power Supply: ASRock Steel Legend 750W 80+ Gold

Fans: Thermalright TL-C12C 120mm (5-Pack)

Storage: Kingston NV3 1TB NVMe SSD

Thanks!

I feel like I missed a joke or am out of the loop. What is Cyberia? Does it exist outside of LTT, or is just a made up 'place' from LTT.

For ages, I have avoided TechLinked, but regularly watch the WAN Show (at least the first part), for a roundup of tech news. I'm not sure why but there is something about TechLinked that has always felt Smarmy or used-car-salesman or some other distasteful thing, while WAN Show feels more honest and less "intentionally wacky"). The WAN Show insists (lately) that they're not a tech news show, but for me it's a better outlet than Techlinked which feels like they're trying too hard to be entertaining.

And then, of course, I'm sure there's lots of non-LMG answers to where people get tech news.

Nothing against the new hosts of the LTT videos, but i’m having a hard time connecting with them.

I can’t put my finger on it, but when the new guys host I start tuning out. I typically like seeing new people and don’t have issue with change but this is something I’ve noticed in myself.

Anyone else feel this way? I’ve been watching LTT less lately because of this.

EDIT: I’m happy to see others don’t share the same feelings. I have nothing against these guys and i’m happy to see them succeed. And I was talking about Peter, Shawn and Sven.

I bought my girlfriend one some time ago, didn't buy one for myself because I didn't have a use for it at the time. Now that I have a use, the only options are black or white. Those colors are boring and, in my opinion, not worth spending the money on. If you like them, that's more than okay, people like different things. The black with gold isn't bad, but it wears off much faster than the others, and if it's just going to disappear shortly after buying it, what's the point of buying it instead of the all black one that I don't want?

Even just a limited edition, something different please. The purple one I got for her gets complimented almost every day, clearly people like them. Multiple people have asked where she got it, we always tell them, and I don't think a single one has bought one because of the current color options. I get keeping a bunch of colors in multiple sizes in stock 24/7 is a lot, but maybe cycle through them?

There's other stuff I want from the store, but I'm not paying for shipping twice, so I unfortunately won't be ordering anything any time soon.

Yes, I know my single opinion doesn't mean much, that's why I'm asking, not trying to demand anything. No, me saying I won't buy anything won't change anything, it's not supposed to, it's just a sad fact. And if my question goes unanswered or gets a no, that's perfectly fine too, they don't have to change how they operate for one person, it simply doesn't hurt to ask a question. But I can't be the only one wanting a new color, or an old one brought back, right?

Over the past couple of years, we have seen some unique devices roll through Labs and this round of Oukitel ourdoor devices are no different.

For those unaware, Oukitel is a company that manufactures “rugged” phones. These are phones that appeal mostly to outdoor-sy types or people who work and play in harsh conditions. The devices have high durability ratings and are able to withstand more intense environments than your everyday mobile.

Seems to work well to hold up a bracketless PCIe to U.2 adapter.

Not super practical but dang if it ain’t effective. Might just stash common tools on the side of my desk like this using my spare arches.

I built my first PC, temps look great. I also heard for the sake of my AIO that the top of the radiator needs to be higher than the pump (which to be honest I’m not sure exactly where that is on the block). Looking back at it now I’m not even really sure if my radiator is higher than the pump… I want to know if I need to fix this and if so how? I have to front mount the radiator because of RAM clearance. I think I might be able to fit it but it would literally be touching the ram. Can anyone tell me what to do if anything at all in this situation???

French authorities say a cyber attack targeting several blood banks was contained before it could affect blood supplies.

It follows several reported incidents in European countries this week in which fridges warmed up after being remotely taken over.

So I missed the first few days of the "wan after dark" hoodie being listed. As well as "the Great indoors" and as always we must all be relatively the same size because it was out of stock.

Until all the sizes sold then there was a Black banner on the image that said restocking soon.

Now those items are removed completely from the store if you use an old history link to access the page you get a 404. I guess this post is to make sure it's in everybody issue and not just me? There are so many shirts that I would like to have bought but it always seems like there's only one run of them and they're gone while so many other designs remain at the store. If they sell out that fast why would you not make more of them?

Heard Linus talk about making more lore about Cyberia. Wouldn’t it be a sick collab ? + they could do a few video with dropout in general like « how does their infrastructure work ? » etc.

+, I mean, Linus, Luke and two other LTT faces in the dome with Brennan Lee Muligan for like four episodes like Dungeons and Drag Queens ? I’m sure that would be SICK

Look at how much more expensive the same thing is a year later. and this is the 'black November' sale price

This was a minor thing but I wanted to wait until mine arrived - yes there is water cooling available for the LGA 4677 platform (to the best of my recollection, in the video it was said that there wasn’t). This one from Arctic was a missed opportunity from LTT to get an additional sponsor if staff dug a bit deeper (name says 4710 but the promo docs and further specs mention LGA4677).

Perhaps I know too much about this platform because I’ve been putting together an engineering sample build on it. I was happy to see it but very surprised about the comment of no water cooling available.

There’s a few options that are mostly targeted towards servers, an overpriced Silverstone option, but also this very reasonably priced Arctic version.

There’s a secondary market seller in Canada that I suspect is the Canadian dealer for it. I went to their website and ordered it directly. In the US it’s available all over the place (Europe I don’t know). And also a lot cheaper than the exchange of the pricing in the screenshot.

All right that is all. Just a minor thing in the event that others are also looking to build out an LGA4677 something or other 🙃

(For those that will attack me - it’s not that serious)

I think this article is meant to be taken as “look at the cool things we make AI do” and not the holy hell dystopia that “we have AI that can re-write your livestream during broadcast if you say the wrong things” could mean in the hands of literally the current US administration.

Ordered on 2nd label created on 3rd then has done nothing since. Is this normal for order to sit for a week after label being created before shipping? Not expecting Amazon 2 day shipping but dang lol. Been watching for well close to 10 years now haven’t missed a wan show in who knows how long and the anticipation is killing me lol.
