how have i never seen these

[lost python]

i assume its a good cooler?
because i just tried looking for it but its sold out everywhere here lol

[sharp star]

Noctua's been trying to get that D15 successor out for... years now?

[sly elk]

the d15 is perfectly fine

it's just expensive

buy that shit cuz you want it cuz

[sharp star]

It's really good for price-performance

[sly elk]

there's nothing wrong with buying shit cuz you want it

[sharp star]

like it stomps the D15 in a lot of areas

[lost python]

how much is it`?

[sly elk]

i bought the stupidest aio 😄

[sharp star]

On a good day it's like

[sly elk]

and I love its stupidity

[sharp star]

$30 something to $40 something

[lost python]

wait, its from thermalright?

[sly elk]

look how stupid this is

[sharp star]

Yep

[real edge]

isn't it the peerless assassin?

[lost python]

hmm

[sly elk]

you know what

[sharp star]

If you can't find the Peerless Assassin 120, try finding the Phantom Spirit

[sly elk]

thermalright also makes awesome fans yo

[lost python]

sold out everywhere except some weird amazon third party sellers

[sly elk]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BKK2MBWG

[sharp star]

oof

[sly elk]

$14 for 3 rgb fans and they're decent too

[lost python]

15€ over here but sold out

lol

glad for thermalright to have good parts again though. they are one of those ancient companies that kinda fell off

[sly elk]

but yea cheap doesn't have to mean bad

[sharp star]

The last time I heard of Thermalright before their recent coolers was during the Sandy Bridge era

[lost python]

phantom spirit is also not available. rip

[sly elk]

-gets out a scythe fuma-

idk if those are actually good

i just like the name

[lost python]

scythe is alright

[sly elk]

thermalright assassin king

[lost python]

not the best, not the worst

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/jafar-magi-gif-20866823

[lost python]

i think they have one of the best top blower coolers though

[sharp star]

The Phantom Spirit is within margin of error of the Peerless Assassin because of the extra heatpipe

[sly elk]

i love those names haha

[sharp star]

doesn't really matter unless you want like... a single digit difference

[sly elk]

then you get shit like

[lost python]

id absolutely take 5-9° better performance

[sly elk]

the fans that look cool

i bet i could find a noctua engineer that would go on an unhinged rant about those fan blades

[lost python]

the deepcool would fit so well into my case

[sly elk]

but i love them

[sharp star]

Oh yeah the AK620 is also really good

I personally haven't tested it but I heard from others that they've had really good experiences with it

[sly elk]

the peerless assassin is like $37 geez

i paid more than that for the stupid lcd for my aio 😄

aios are stupid and I would never recommend them to anyone but

[sharp star]

But Thermalright's Peerless Assassin and Phantom Spirit? You can't exactly beat those holy fuck

[sly elk]

i do enjoy buying them

[lost python]

now, if only it could be actually available here

then i would consider it for my gf

[sly elk]

wtf is this

[lost python]

the fuck

[sly elk]

lol

[sharp star]

I think the Corsair A500 tanked after several scathing reviews rolled out

like they dropped at least $60

[sly elk]

i thought this had a name like racing edition or something, sadly it doesn't

i like the accent colors though

-blows dust off old heatsink from the p4 days-

[lost python]

ah the good old zalman coils

thats also a name that i havent seen together with an actually good product since... idk 2005?

i am happy with my bequiet dark rock pro 4 and how silent it is, but i definitely notice i paid extra for the design

like not that its any bad or something but it isnt exactly the best either

[sharp star]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Phantom-TL-C12B-Technilogy-Bearing/dp/B0C4JK43LQ yeah I can't find the PS120 here

[lost python]

i still have the luxury of having a very silent curve and still being below 80° on my 5800x

[sharp star]

$48 isn't too bad but at that point if I were really budget-focused I'd just go for the PA120

[sly elk]

be quiet! is an expensive brand. and that's ok.

[sharp star]

Yeah Be Quiet! is indeed expensive but I did have a good customer support experience with them

[sly elk]

i like how overkill their high end PSU is

even the inset chrome label lmao

[lost python]

They still care about quality

And their PSUs are the only once that when they die, they just turn off.
All the others I had always sparked and yeeted the breaker

Only once... Bruh I can't type today

[sharp star]

exploding PSUs you say?

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-explodes-gamers-nexus-power-supply-gif-23202345

[lost python]

good old gigabyte

[sly elk]

what are you doing to blow up psus

i only once had a psu go ka-boom

[sharp star]

lmao I found the thread on the GN vid on LTT forums

[buoyant wasp]

Can't wait to get the cheque that Billet deserve at the next LTX auction

[sharp star]

I really

REALLY

want to see Linus say "we fucked up" but nah he doubled down on it

[buoyant wasp]

The latest video has so many errors as well

[sharp star]

is this the one about the mic

because goddamn they're getting roasted in the comments

[buoyant wasp]

Yep

[sharp star]

https://youtu.be/yw39wYJlLRc uh oh

https://youtu.be/TcSkrkXd2H0 condensed version

[sharp star]

okay I skimmed over the podcast and I’m at the part at whether GN should have reached out privately

[paper tusk]

Nothing would happen if done in private. Linus is a clickbait hack who has destroyed other one offs in the past for shits and giggles

[sharp star]

yeah I don’t think much would have been achieved in private

I personally think that if beef with someone is public, then you have to resolve that beef publicly; it’s past the point of trying to resolve it in private

[lost python]

funny that his "apology" on his orums was just corporate speak and no actual apology

[inland mauve]

there's an expression in Dutch that goes "throwing the club into the chicken pen", that's what GN has done with that video

[potent arrow]

At least float plane users are voting with their wallets

• 1k users

[lost python]

and he cries about how quick people are to raise the pitchforks as if their practices havent been an issue for a while
or how he wants to "test" who actually cares by limiting his "apology" to the forums only

[sharp star]

I did think the callout was needed but I’m still unsure if anything but a 44-minute video would have changed anything

[lost python]

i mean

[inland mauve]

no, this is the era of Youtube content

sadly you have to play the game following the rules laid out by Youtube content

[lost python]

linus himself said that the people complaining are a "vocal minority", so he doesnt take it seriously
so i think that callout was well deserved

[inland mauve]

which means call-out videos

[lost python]

what i take issue with the most is that linus said its not worth spending the extra "500$" per video to fix mistakes and properly test
and at the same time they buy 10k+ simracing rigs that nobody can use because everyone is under so much pressure to pump out videos

[sharp star]

yeah guess it wouldn’t have changed much after all

[buoyant wasp]

Highly doubt it's a minority at this point

[sharp star]

definitely not

the people want blood

[umbral moss]

because spending money on fixing mistakes is wasted money

you can spend that money on cool shit like a simrig that you keep after you're done with the video

[wraith agate]

[deep sapphire]

I have this cooler

[modest moss]

Imagine not having noctua

[deep sapphire]

I had an NH-D14

😭

[modest moss]

Why didn't you reuse it

[deep sapphire]

one of the fans was shot, it looked old cause it was and I would need to order a new mounting kit for LGA1700

I bought it in 2010

[modest moss]

They'd send a free bracket

[deep sapphire]

welp too late now!

[modest moss]

More money than sense but I still love you

[dull garnet]

i have a peerless assassin on my 5800x3d

works gud

although there's something called the phantom spirit now which should be like 1% better

[deep sapphire]

Smh hardware store didn’t have mobil 1 oil

[dull garnet]

i don't think you need oil for air coolers

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

[modest moss]

use wd40

[deep sapphire]

Yeah don’t want the fins to rust

[modest moss]

it's probably fine

[deep sapphire]

Good idea

Did you know WD40 is an excellent electronics cleaner

Not even memeing

[dull garnet]

there's this one australian youtuber that uses brake cleaner

for pc hardware

[deep sapphire]

It dries super fast so it probably work rofl

Use carburetor cleaner

Linus saying that he "auctioned" the waterblock off doesn't make it any better

holy fucking shit lmao

You still transferred the waterblock from your hands to someone else's

[void dove]

the amount of dodgy double talk, doubling/tripling down, and inability to take any accountability, is just insane.

Linus has been slowly growing to be more full of himself over time, was only a matter of time until he thought his shit dont stink.

[wide hill]

he fell of after he stopped caring about quality i guess

same reason that he quit being CEO

[lost python]

god i love tech youtube drama

[wide hill]

weird that they are churning out videos like how they do however, would they go negative if they weren't?

or they just have "we need this amount of videos per day" to be able to fit in even more sponsors

[void dove]

no its literally their own self-imposed metrics.
the company wouldn't go under if they slowed down a bit, its just that they dont want to.
problem is, they can't continue at that pace, IF they want to produce Good accurate videos.
its fine for dumb entertainment videos, not for lab/testing videos, but Linus doesn't understand that, and seems like they applied their usual working conditions, to their new stuff, without consideration that maybe its not a good idea.

ive seen this plenty of times at companies who are expanding into new sectors of their industry

lack of understanding of the needs and assuming they can just apply what they already do and succeed.

[minor hollow]

Linus media has hit the growth point

They're big enough to do the fun projects the creators have always envisioned

But that requires a revenue steam

[void dove]

if they dont sort their shit out, LMG will become a laughing stock of basically any serious enthusiast outlet and their audience.

[minor hollow]

Which they see requiring video content churnout and sponsors

[wide hill]

"fun projects" yet didn't want to waste a second afterwards trying to try to get the heatsink to work, and selling it off later

[minor hollow]

Yeah I'm not condoning anything

Just how I see their attitude and approach

[void dove]

linus is so out of touch, you can see Luke trying to reign him in on some of the WAN show clips

and actually get him to see reason

and this isn't the first time

[wide hill]

luke literally has the concerned eye

luke: "maybe you should have tried to do it the right way"
linus: "nah"

[void dove]

i wonder, if luke will ever have enough and just walk.

would take a LOT for him to get out of there.

but if it happens, well, id think Linus would only have himself to blame.

[wide hill]

i doubt that, there has to be one more incident, and it would probably increase it's chance

[minor hollow]

Remember when Linus admitted to using the hard r

And you could see Luke's life flash before his eyes

[wide hill]

ahah yeah that one was funny

[odd sand]

It's not about keeping it in private, it's about asking them for comment and including that in the released video to give the other side's position. That's how normal reporting is done.

Linus still would have said something that people wouldn't like, but at least GN would have done standard due diligence in reporting.

It's the difference between a news article and a hit piece

Which is especially important when he's trying to claim the moral highground all the time like he does.

[odd sand]

Haha that was super funny. I knew he must have not known what he was talking about, but for that minute or two until he was corrected yeah Luke was all "SOKATH, HIS EYES OPEN" (Darmok Star trek joke) until he was like oh wait no not that

[odd sand]

I don't think it was a super terrible response, but in typical Linus fashion he isn't able to read the room on what's an appropriate time and place to say certain things. Like yes, auctioning something for charity vs outright selling it to someone else is SLIGHTLY more nuanced, but the fact you didn't keep tabs on it and offloaded it in the first place was the problem...

[wide hill]

i first also assumed the 'letter' word was meant to be the first letter of that word

i don't use slurs of any of them anyway

[odd sand]

Given the context I knew what he meant by R word but then he used the incorrect term of "hard R" and I was immediately giggling to myself. Especially after seeing Luke's wide eyes and trying to get Linus to clarify. Especially as chat went AYO

It was just part of the times, as bad as that sounds. Around 2000 it was absolutely normal for ppl to call others ret-ded. And even earlier than that, I remember on the playground in elementary school it was a common joke for ppl to rush up to someone and quickly say "H-mo say what??" and get the person to go "What?" Then go "HA HA!" at them etc. We didn't really know what we were saying

[buoyant wasp]

Those were some weird times

[dull garnet]

sticks and stones

you better not use brainstorm either

[umbral moss]

the shit we used to say to each other back in the day

100% of it would get you banned or canceled these days

"it's mean and degrading", as if that wasn't the point in saying it

[dull garnet]

mfw someone uses the shortened version of transmission

@deep sapphire

[minor hollow]

yeah, but at the same time, it's also a bit different coming from a kid than an adult

[umbral moss]

[sly walrus]

i’d advise you to get out of texas

[minor hollow]

was a few years ago, i don't live there

[deep sapphire]

Lmao Sarah got muted once for saying it

I almost did it and then I was like ehh probably a good idea to type the full word

[minor hollow]

that one in particular is also pretty tough because even in the context about people, there are multiple terms with various amounts of social baggage so it's best to be precise

[real edge]

I understand the context but yeah please do not say slurs.

[potent arrow]

I mean in my circle of tech nerds he's already disrespected hard lmfao

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-bocchi-the-rock-non-linear-gif-27023528

[odd sand]

This is why you don't use your computer as a coaster

But at least it wasn't soda

[umbral moss]

it's fine, just turn the heat up so it boils off

[inland mauve]

I immediately reached down and pulled out the power plug

I opened up the case and fortunately not a lot of water got in

but I see droplets on the cooler, the GPU, and a few on the bracers of the mobo

so I'm not taking any risks

I'm leaving that thing out to dry in the guest room overnight and tomorrow

[umbral moss]

you have more moisture on your components when it's humid in your room

[dull garnet]

dunk it in distilled water!

[sly walrus]

throw it in oil

[wraith agate]

Technically distilled water is good because iirc it doesn't have salts that can transfer current and short circuit your components

Iirc

[dull garnet]

that is why i suggested as such

[deep sapphire]

you can use WD40 as well

it displaces water

[dull garnet]

yeah if you're rich maybe

[deep sapphire]

its like 4 bucks a can smhsmhsmh

[dull garnet]

i want to submerge my pc

a can isn't gonna cut it

not with that attitude

im gonna auction your PC off (to charity so that makes it okay)\

"damn thing... most people give the dollar"

LMAO

[dull garnet]

mcdonalds asks about that shit on the self serve

fuck off bruh

[deep sapphire]

yeah its getting insane like fuckin everything is doing it now

[dull garnet]

let me pay £6 for 20 nuggets, you're already robbing me

[deep sapphire]

I guess at least mcdonalds charity is well established and from what I read actually a good charity but even then

[sly elk]

[deep sapphire]

here you go to any grocery store "WOULD YOU LIKE TO ROUND UP TO SUPPORT THE MISSOURI STARVING KIDS FOUNDATION"

[sly walrus]

is that a foundation that starves kids in missouri

[deep sapphire]

they already do that for free anyway

missouri is like the florida of the midwest

[dull garnet]

the self serve in tesco also asks about that shit

[sly walrus]

that hardly narrows it down

[dull garnet]

smh lemme just buy my meal deal smh

[deep sapphire]

going to subway where they charge you 15 dollars for a sub now

WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD A TIP

and if you say no they look at you like you're an asshole

[sly elk]

"Your total is $14.69. Hey do you want to donate to X good cause? It's a great cause!"
"Also please enter the amount you'd like to tip. We suggested 15% automatically"

[dull garnet]

haha tipping culture

[deep sapphire]

like kiss my ass you charge 3x as much for a sandwich as you did not even 10 years ago, how about you pay your fuckin employees well

[sly elk]

I do it when I'm getting curbside or using a BOGO coupon

[sly walrus]

just fuckin unionize

[dull garnet]

in central london they add 10-15% to your bill which you can opt out of if you want to embarass yourself

[sly elk]

but we're talking $1-2

[deep sapphire]

subway is a notoriously bad franchiser (is that a word I dunno)

supposedly most subway owners barely many any money

[sly elk]

afaik they are a "buy yourself a job" kinda place

[dull garnet]

sometimes they hand you the card reader thing to input your gratuity

[deep sapphire]

make any money**

[dull garnet]

i hit confirm twice rapidly

[sly elk]

if you have a manager they pay like 30-50k a year in profit maybe

[dull garnet]

£0

enjoy

[sly elk]

but if you have a manager, you're not really doing much

[deep sapphire]

remember quiznos

[sly elk]

quiznos is not subway

[deep sapphire]

how they drove a franchise owner to suicide

[sly elk]

quiznos was horrible horrible to their franchiseees

[sly walrus]

the fuck happened to quiznos

ah

[sly elk]

was it only 1 franchisee that committed sepaku?

[sly walrus]

that’s what happened

[sly elk]

I coulda swore there were multiple horror stories

[deep sapphire]

yeah I believe so

but numerous people complained about them

[sly elk]

I remember one in concord mysteriously burned to the ground

[deep sapphire]

how most of them ended up losing money on it

[sly elk]

mysteriously

[deep sapphire]

and how strict they were

subway is really bad too, and they wanted nothing but growth for years

[sly elk]

well yea quiznos basically scammed the shit out of their franchisees

[deep sapphire]

subway was doing extremely well during the 2008 collapse

[sly elk]

they advertised numbers that were completely crap

[deep sapphire]

and they ballooned in locations

[sly elk]

and then didn't promise territory

[deep sapphire]

yeah

[sly elk]

in the case of the quiznos I'm thinking of, they opened one in the mall across the damn street

[deep sapphire]

nobody misses quiznos

I ate there maybe 3 times

in my entire life

and each time it was like "meh"

its the KFC of sandwiches

[sly elk]

oh I miss the sandwiches they made when they first opened

[deep sapphire]

its food, thats the most I can say

[sly elk]

was like, honey mustard chicken club? It was fantastic.

[deep sapphire]

they werent very popular around here im sure california they were probably more spread out

[potent arrow]

Quiznos still exists in Canada btw

[sly elk]

you can get similar/better stuff from a top of the line sandwich shop

[deep sapphire]

being california is like the mecca of fast food

[sly elk]

but quiznos went downhill SUPER FAST

[deep sapphire]

I think they still exist here too but finding one is next to impossible

[potent arrow]

I'm convinced they are a money laundering front

I've never seen anyone eat in it

Ever

[deep sapphire]

176 (United States)
183 (International)
359 (Total)```

[sly elk]

like the sandwiches went from being amazing to the places weighing the ingredients and being super cheap... to the menu eliminating all the good stuff.. within like a year of quiznos launching out here

[sly walrus]

just like how there are 5 or 6 blockbusters that are still around

[dull garnet]

i thought it was 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJc3X6wzW1A

[paper tusk]

in alaska yeah

[deep sapphire]

its a shame they never recovered

[sly elk]

tbh in my misguided feelings, I think video rental can still be a viable business model

[deep sapphire]

I actually had that total access thing they did

[sly walrus]

they’re called libraries

[deep sapphire]

which compared to netflix at the time was much nicer cause you could just go to any location and exchange the movie with another one

[sly elk]

it's just, the movie studios aren't going to be willing to participate anymore

[deep sapphire]

where as netflix you had to send in your dvds

[dull garnet]

speaking of blockbuster there was a netflix show about one

[sly elk]

why would they bother selling physical media when they can rent DRM crap with tons of strings attached

[dull garnet]

and it used a crt with an lcd display swap as a prop

[sly elk]

I wanna say doing that is lame >>

[deep sapphire]

there will be a time in your life where CRTs will be extinct

[dull garnet]

i took a photo cus i'm sad

[deep sapphire]

I dont even think they manufacture cathode ray tubes anymore

[sly elk]

I doubt they do

[sly walrus]

then what will they play melee on

[sly elk]

however, there's still an endless supply of 5" monochrome CRTs

[potent arrow]

Chinese companies still do

[deep sapphire]

MUH INPUT DELAY i knew a guy like that

he was whining about how SF2 is impossible on an LCD or something

[potent arrow]

https://youtu.be/MoqflFfvkR0?feature=shared

He was actually discussing it recently

[sly elk]

heh

[potent arrow]

CRTs are still being produced

[sly elk]

intreesting

[potent arrow]

It's kinda funny

[sly elk]

tbh I think they should keep making CRTs

[dull garnet]

an affront to god

there was some Chinese CRT doing the rounds recently, what they aren't making anymore though I think is tubes

[sly elk]

which is odd because thanks to audio gear and nixie tubes being fashionable, there is demand for it lol

one thing I'd be curious about is a large (like 50") 4:3 LCD or OLED

it's probably never gonna happen

[dull garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWOaisty4dQ best i can do is a 40" plasma

[sly elk]

oh that is COOL

[dull garnet]

40" CRT

[sly elk]

those things scare me

it's partially because they always seem to have the teardrop design where 99% of the weight is in the front 2" of the chassis

[dull garnet]

tis the nature of a tube

i used to have a 28" widescreen CRT that felt super imbalanced

[sly elk]

i think at the 40" point the chassis should like have rails for counterweights or something lol

or at least small tabs on the back to tie it down

it's amazing they were able to make tubes that huge though

[deep sapphire]

we had a 32" Sony CRT and that thing was a beast to move, I cant even imagine the weight of that fucker

[umbral moss]

I'm debating getting new PC hardware to go into the modified cabinet I'm designing, but it's so expensive

[inland mauve]

that thing is huge or that lady is small

[deep sapphire]

no they were genuinely huge, that TV probably weighed 200+ lbs

thats a sick mod haha

[dull garnet]

I do like G5 conversions but I wouldn't ruin the aesthetic by spraying it black

[deep sapphire]

problem is they scratch so easily maybe they did it to hide it I dunno

I think it'd look cool powder coated

I had a G5 I dunno what I did with it

[dull garnet]

E-waste

[deep sapphire]

I remember some guy brought it in to my old shop many years ago to recycle it, I asked my boss if I could have it and he gave it to me for 20 bucks

[odd sand]

Yeah my parents had a 35" JVC and I think it weighed about 150lbs

Basically gave it away for free when selling the entertainment center it came with

Even though they only had it for like 5-7 years or something, but that was when flatpanels came out and they bought one off my brother who bought one he couldn't afford and needed the money at one point

Plasma tho so was costing them like $30/mo in electric bills

[deep sapphire]

its impressive we trusted these giant TVs for entertainment centers made of particle board from circuit city

[odd sand]

Ours was actually hardwood

[paper tusk]

can get this for 40 moneys and it'll be vastly easier on your wrist than a hand screwdriver

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r9a3CuFZL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

[deep sapphire]

ratcheting screwdriver has its perks IMO, you get more dexterity for places that need it, otherwise I would just use my impact driver on everything

though most of the time I do

[paper tusk]

[modest moss]

is that electric screwdriver by bob marley

no woman no cry

[deep sapphire]

I love this little guy

[wraith agate]

Is this the LTT screwdriver that took them like a year to make and costs like a fortune?

[deep sapphire]

yeah

[paper tusk]

I'm tempted to get something like that since makita's idea of innovation is 18v battery powered microwaves and coffee makers

[deep sapphire]

though I guess its pretty decent

[wraith agate]

The one they copied is better and cheaper

[deep sapphire]

even project farm gave it the top rating and he's pretty non biased

[paper tusk]

it's a good screwdriver but in the end it's a modified off the shelf part

[deep sapphire]

its similar to the uuuuh

magna? is that the brand

[wraith agate]

It's $70

[deep sapphire]

made by the same company but the pawl has more teeth

[wraith agate]

It's expensive

[deep sapphire]

so its a bit finer

but I agree 70 dollars for a manual screwdriver is kind of a meme

[wraith agate]

I'd love a screwdriver like that but not for that much

[paper tusk]

megapro

[deep sapphire]

you can buy a whole set of wera screwdrivers for that price

[paper tusk]

yeah

projectfarm also liked williams (snap-on odm)

[deep sapphire]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15s35v3/for_all_you_crying_that_linus_has_sold_his/

yeah Williams is pretty good I got some flank drive plus williams wrenches though they are ugly as shit cause they are painted yellow (I got the entire SAE set for 200 bucks)

[odd sand]

I bought a cheap Ryobi electric driver for computer stuff etc al

[deep sapphire]

I still will say Wera are my favorite screwdrivers, they are very comfortable and have a good tolerance

and avoid craftsman

[paper tusk]

for the moment I use a demolition screwdriver so that I can use it as a hammer when the bullshit computer parts piss me off

[deep sapphire]

yeah those are nice I got a milwaukee one

[odd sand]

Also makes me a lot less annoyed if I have to take things back out troubleshooting than if I had a manual one

[paper tusk]

that might be why the acer I have broke but I don't know why it did either

[deep sapphire]

did milwaukee ever finally release the US made hand tools lol

they announced them and every time I checked I could never find them at home depot

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Screwdriver-Set-with-Cushion-Grip-6-Piece-MT200-6/321180692

oh they do have them

must be pretty new only 2 reviews

[wraith agate]

Yeah...

[deep sapphire]

I think I watched the linus video on how he made the screwdriver and he did contract out to maxpro and its made in the same factory

its also a canadian company

im not knocking it just on its price, there are tons of overpriced tools that unless you use it often then you really dont need them

why buy makita or milwaukee when you can buy ryobi or porter cable if you never use them

[wraith agate]

True

[paper tusk]

because I'm a dumbass

[deep sapphire]

me too

im gonna buy a wright brand wrench set

[paper tusk]

[deep sapphire]

https://www.acmetools.com/wright-tool-18-pc-full-polish-metric-combination-wrenches-7-mm-to-24-mm-958/076799009586.html

WOAH THATS A SALE

still a lot though

[odd sand]

Kurwa

[deep sapphire]

but yeah this is kinda the same category as the LTT screwdriver, sure you could go buy a cheap ass wrench and for the most part it will work perfectly fine

but if you want something that you know will remove the most rusted piece of shit without busting your knuckles up

then you buy something like these

[paper tusk]

now I'm reminded to think about a double box set for the never times I'll remove something with my mid torque

[buoyant wasp]

[royal forge]

Basically coming out swinging

[sly elk]

i am also a fan of the wera screwdrivers

[odd sand]

Wait,so they sent a 3090ti and ltt didn't use it?? Where TF was it

[sly elk]

the first question I wanna ask is
why the hell did they think sending him anything was a good idea?

[royal forge]

Didnt they literally hire a logistics team

Dont they have writers??

Who are supposed to have done research?

[wraith agate]

Good decision

[sharp star]

oh god lmao

[dreamy chasm]

I guess I'm justified for not liking ltt even more now

[sly elk]

geez

I'm watching the GN video now

I changed my mind about my thoughts earlier

all of his points are valid lol

though if I had a one-of-a-king prototype that I based my whole business on

I 100% would never ever send it to Linus to do a video on

i'm surprised he didn't drop the damn thing on camera lol

[wraith agate]

Err I think he did

Given it was a small drop

But still

[sharp star]

I hate how the bad testing results aren't the worst of it

[wraith agate]

See if this was the only problem people would be less angry

[odd sand]

I don't think any of this was malicious on Linus part, but it does expose they have some very severe logistics issues after having grown too quickly

And that Linus has taken for granted the flippant off the cuff way they've done content for a long time, and now that they're in the "big time" they really should be using their resources to shore that up

Taran needs to set him straight on his hot takes tho bc he has 100 employees depending on him now and can't blow up their jobs being an idiot

[odd talon]

They keep on digging the hole

Especially Linus so Taran has his work cut out for him

And Luke

To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving.
I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health.

The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.

thanks to genius musk I can't see threads anymore

[sly elk]

it's.. that site ... what did you expect?

I suppose that's one good thing about the jeep forum I go to sometimes

[inland mauve]

which has drastically improved my enjoyment of tweets

[sly elk]

there's a lot of those people but they don't use slurs .. yet...

[sharp star]

OP was using slurs when recounting the harassment towards her

[inland mauve]

on the internet or within LTT?

[sharp star]

Within LTT.

[inland mauve]

[sharp star]

but holy shit it's just so fucking gross

[lost python]

well both, she does say she received a lot of hate from "fans" over time ever since she left

[sharp star]

Actually yeah I re-read it and you're right

I just woke up from an unpleasant nap and this just popped up on my feed

[vestal crane]

People were real salty with her for not giving details on why she left

[potent arrow]

Oh Jesus Christ this thing gets worse as I scroll

[vestal crane]

She also got a lot of hate for "accusing" LMG of sexual harrassment

She didn't, she just agreed with another person that the tech industry is kinda shitty for women just after leaving so people thought she was vague tweeting about LMG

[potent arrow]

why do I feel like LMG does not have a proper working HR department

[vestal crane]

There was also a group of people who accused her of using LTT to boost her own streaming career and then quit once she got to where so was

They do

The issue surrounding Maddison's harrassment was 100% a community issue

[potent arrow]

How is this community

That's just workplace harassment

[vestal crane]

No I meant the harrassment she got after she left

Not that

Thats fucking vile

[potent arrow]

Yeah

I'm talking about the tweet rn

Like jfc man

People wonder why we don't have many women in STEM

[vestal crane]

I hate this industry lmfao

It's just eughhhh

Engineering and Tech needs to change I swear

Ya just keep it in your pants. Thats where it always is anyway

[potent arrow]

Like yes I'm broad stroke here but so many workplaces have this issue it's fucking stupid

Russian roulette: sexism, racism, anti+LGBT, harrasment

All of the above

[inland mauve]

I've heard my male coworkers talk about female coworkers in the locker room when I was showering after working out, it's never going to change 😔

[vestal crane]

Nah I think it will

Its slowly improving

[potent arrow]

I have no hopes

[vestal crane]

But fuck is it miserable waiting

[potent arrow]

At least not in my lifetime

[vestal crane]

We just need more Barbie movies

[potent arrow]

At least I can fire people for being transphobic

[sly elk]

that would be fun

[vestal crane]

We need more movies that blatantly hate men /s

[potent arrow]

LOL

I will never get over when I was working at a factory and I broke a machine. A tech came and was looking for "Sarah" and didn't think it was me. So he starting talking and was like "Man women break everything, amirite? They suck at this shit"

Camera at every workstation.....

I'm glad we have a good HR

HR is there to protect the company

I thought they said that to you knowing full well it was you

[potent arrow]

Nope

if they care so much about masculinity and shoving their pps into something why don't all the sexists fuck eachother instead

You know. Theres things you think/do in your mind in private and things you do and think in public. Its not hard to be a decent fucking person even if you think differently privately

[vestal crane]

Yeah man, its not hard to mask

[wise jay]

cracks me up when people say shit like that in the workplace especially. I love seeing people get fired for that shit

[vestal crane]

People are just too used to getting away with being vile human trash

Yo dawg this aint the internet you cant say shit like that in public

[potent arrow]

I'm not sure I'm more upset at the fact that I don't look feminine enough or the sexism

[sly elk]

you should avoid saying that stuff on the internet too lol

Would you like to trade?

Sarah tried makeup?

Them blush and them fancy schmancy countour?

The welders and tradesmen redneck brutes I know, try SOOOO much harder to respect my pronouns and try to understand me

Then the engineers I work with are fucking sticky goons.

[sly elk]

6 months, i had very little PTO saved up and had a car accident on a friday right. monday I messaged my boss and let him know I was trying to get things figured out still, but I'd start working from home in a day or two and try to get as much as I could done

my boss emails me back tuesday and is like

I also hate that LMG will get away with all of this again.

[sly elk]

"I never said you could work from home, you better be here today"

The internet will forget

I just didn't answer his email

dropped off the laptop and my resignation friday

and that's what absolutely pisses me off

eh it was fine, my old company was awesome so I went bakc to work with them

still there

[potent arrow]

I would've gotten him hit with WBSIB here

[sly elk]

in fact my idiot boss came back, too (he also worked here) and he admitted I wasn't treated well lol

i think he was being a dick because his boss was being a dick

but it doesn't excuse him being a dick

annyywway yea don't deliberately hurt yourself ;_;

yea there's also always the family and medical leave act out here, among other things

[vestal crane]

The internet just doesn't care

[sly elk]

I didn't realize at the time lol

[potent arrow]

Posting my miqote again for all of this

[vestal crane]

Too many people don't actually give af about what Maddison went through and are only using it to get mad

[sly elk]

ya know the funny thing about gender stuff is I don't really mind someone calling me guy/girl/they

[vestal crane]

People love to feel like they're on "the good side"

[sly elk]

as long as they're not being an ass about it

[potent arrow]

Internet never takes anything seriously

[sly elk]

someone mistakes me for a girl I consider it a compliment lol

[potent arrow]

I just care if people try LMFAO

it's really not that hard

[sly elk]

means I looked pretty

[vestal crane]

Its not that they don't take it seriously, they just don't give af about it besides how it affects them

[potent arrow]

Some people act like calling me she/her like stepping on hot nails

Surely we will live in a world where all of this stuff is accepted widely so one day

Surely....

[vestal crane]

I had a friend who consistently misgenders me constantly and I called him out on it and his response was "Its just so hard"

No bitch it ain't

It just requires a small amount of effort

[wise jay]

ya if youre a friend in particular youd typically go the extra mile

[sharp star]

I had someone misgender me at least once online

Usually due to pfps or the fact that I play a female character in FF

[potent arrow]

I hate it, it's such a stupid excuse

[vestal crane]

I had someone tell me I type like a woman

[sly elk]

in overwatch i play mercy 99% of the time and sometimes after a series of games I get someone acting creepy hahaha.

[potent arrow]

What the fuck does that mean

[sharp star]

you fight like a cow

[vestal crane]

Apparently I'm bubbly and expressive

[potent arrow]

Huh?

[deep sapphire]

I'll tell you what you arent though

you arent playing halo rn

do your weeklies

[potent arrow]

I type like and ADHD clown

[sly elk]

OH I KNOW THIS ONE

[deep sapphire]

its funny cause linus was just talking about how he was offered 100 million dollars for his business but because he "cares" about his business he didnt accept the offer

yet pushes his employees like mules

[vestal crane]

Oh shit, weekly refresh happened

[wise jay]

I want a woman who'll play underrail so we can bond over getting killed repeatedly by Crawlers in the many dark passages in the game

[real edge]

back when I had nitro I used to use a lot of emotes because they're cute and expressive and people often couldn't tell what I was by my text and name/avatar

[potent arrow]

I think the funniest thing I've had happened was a waiter arguing with me that I should be addressed as a male because I was having dinner with my GF

[vestal crane]

...

[potent arrow]

Like they were adamant that I cannot address her as my GF if I was a female

[vestal crane]

I sure do love casual homophobia

[potent arrow]

I

Couldn't understand it

I don't understand their reasoning

[vestal crane]

Should've explained it to him in Roman terms

[potent arrow]

At all

[vestal crane]

Its only gay if you're a bottom

[potent arrow]

LOL

[inland mauve]

I had someone in the train misgender me once many years ago when I had long hair

but only once

I'm cisgender

[potent arrow]

Just

Sigh

[inland mauve]

he wasn't a dick about it, just a little oopsie

[potent arrow]

Sometimes I wonder why I go through all the trouble....
I have to have two names for work
I get misgendered by randos and then they argue
I read the news and nothing is getting better, in fact it's worse

[vestal crane]

Its so hard to be mad at people who make mistakes but god is it draining

[sly elk]

i love me some emoji!

[potent arrow]

Just so tired lmao

I really hope culture in STEM changes

[inland mauve]

STEM will have no choice but to change

or it will fall behind

[potent arrow]

I feel like trades has been historically the worst, but it's actually gotten so much better.
And STEM as gotten absolutely fucking no where

[vestal crane]

Trades have grown a lot lately as more and more people realise that a collage degree isn't the free pass it used to be

So uh, there's a video addressing the whole outcry. And it's on Floatplane. Locked to subscribers.

And it's leaked.

[royal forge]

Of course its on floatplane

Holy shit

[sly elk]

What's a floatplane

I'm amazed SwiftKey figured out what 8 wanted to say

[buoyant wasp]

You pay to subscribe to accounts for videos

The video doesn't include anything about Maddison's experience

[sharp star]

Yeah I just found out holy shit

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick

[royal forge]

Its..

So bad

[buoyant wasp]

There a lot of jokes

[royal forge]

Why put it on floatplane

Fuck sake

[sharp star]

so people can leak it to the rest of the internet

[buoyant wasp]

Can find it if you search new on the linus subreddit

[sharp star]

I found it on Twitter lmao

[buoyant wasp]

Why does he talk so fast

[buoyant wasp]

Did they really just shout out their store

[sharp star]

This video could've saved them, but nope, the Maddison stuff happened

[buoyant wasp]

In the middle of an apology

[sharp star]

Yes

[buoyant wasp]

They have uploaded to the official YouTube account

[sharp star]

"What do we do now?" Oh I dunno, address Maddison's treatment?

[buoyant wasp]

Doubt it

They're gonna be back in everyone's good books

[deep sapphire]

It’s so obvious he’s reading off a teleprompter

[wide hill]

they didn't use a Teleprompter Mirror

and yeah, clearly the eyes are focused above the camera

[wide hill]

i think that part requires more lawyer work to them to address

if what is said is true

I am amazed however, on how fast this drama is going

a single workday went by

[real edge]

is the latest linus apology the one that was on floatplane?

or was that a different video

[buoyant wasp]

Same one

[real edge]

ok

[lost python]

no way anyone believes this is real

[real edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY

either they suddenly really really fucking suck at making decent quality videos and threw a filter over this, or they really AI generated a video of the CEO

the difference between him and linus' wife is unreal

lol

[buoyant wasp]

How can it get worse

[real edge]

apparently linus put his wife as head of HR

[wide hill]

i thought that was only said to GN

[lost python]

even if, they said it publically so if anyone actually saw the video, they would have known

[wide hill]

eh, that's like meh

huh wait it kind of looks like it was said in their subreddit too

[lost python]

unrelated but i just noticed that my jabra headset stand had some foil on the bottom. i was wondering why dust is gathering there. thats a first

[inland mauve]

how did it get worse again

[inland mauve]

[lost python]

im curious because linus again says he only learned of all this on the 14th and was in contact with billet, but they said to GN that they didnt hear anything of them until GN released their video

[buoyant wasp]

He full of crap

[hot shadow]

fee fi fo fum, who atted me in here I'll drink all your rum

[potent arrow]

Lol

This video felt so insincere Jesus

[hot shadow]

wtf Sarah go to bed

[potent arrow]

8 AM!

I just woke up ;-;

[wide hill]

cause they thought they responded, but for billet it looked like LTT ignored them.

so, in LTT's side, they probably thought that they got the email, and never responded back

basically

[royal forge]

I just wanted to tell that Sarah is the new aunty now

Go for the throat I say

I had to do a double take because I initially mistook the Artesian Builds logo for Montech

I was like “wait a minute did Montech do something?” before going “oh, Artesian”

[sharp star]

okay so uh

After re-reading the Madison thread, carefully, I am now of the opinion that LTT should no longer exist because if the work environment is so bad that you have to CW: self-harm ||carve your leg wide open to go to the ER just so you can have a day off||, the whole thing is internally diseased and rotten to the core that there's no saving it

[odd sand]

So they did actually respond on Thursday and Billet simply didn't see it?

[wide hill]

no, it was never sent to them

cause they missed to add the "to:"

so they accidentally sent it before they added to: but they have added CC and BCC

since it looks like gmail, you can easily send a response with CTRL + Enter, so it might have forgotten to adden the "to" after writing the email

thats what i see from here

[odd sand]

Oh geez

God that sucks, because that's a mistake anyone could make

And then the GN video dropped before they could notice bc it had only been 1-2 business days

I'm sure given a few more days they would have sent them another email to be like uhh... address please?

(Not that that excuses the rest of it, but that particular part of the fiasco)

[wide hill]

from what billet saw, was pretty much, "we want to send you the gpu back" and not the email of "we want to pay you back the lost item"

it's like starting a new email chain and it never gets delivered

if it was simply that they never responded at all, it would have seemed more likely that billet would have sent an another email as a reminder

still, there are plenty of other bad things that isn't about that water cooler

that is just one small of LTT's problems

Brave picking a Gigabyte GPU

[wraith agate]

A whole month has passed since I built this PC, so a whole month without win11 crashing

Nice

[potent arrow]

Never had an issue, still buy them for my clients

Only fair for me to go by my own word eh?

[dull garnet]

You'll find a way to break it

[potent arrow]

I will

but it wont be gigabytes fault

my gpu is still broken

[dull garnet]

I'm kinda thinking of a new case to accommodate a Corsair large PSU because it's slightly too big for my case

[potent arrow]

I dont think im swapping from sff anytime soon

[dull garnet]

Mine is full atx but a meshify c isn't that big

I guess I could pull my storage drive out of my pc now I'm using a pi 4 as a nas though

[potent arrow]

could do that yeah

[dull garnet]

speaking of, i ordered a nicer case for that the other day

[sly elk]

I had one here for a while and it was great

One of the nicer built GPUs minus the sad single rgb led behind the gigabyte logo lol

[modest moss]

are pi 4 readily available again or did you already have one?

[dull garnet]

they're more available

[sly elk]

Digikey was steaming them into stock a few days ago

[dull garnet]

pihut have the 4GB in stock, pimoroni have the 2GB and 4GB

[sly elk]

Was funny because they’d list a few and they’d sell out

[dull garnet]

oh pihut have the 2GB too now

[modest moss]

hmm I might have to grab one and move plex to it from my old 2500k box

[dull garnet]

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4?variant=29157087445075

[sly elk]

Lol those are on a list of things that our buyers buy whenever they see them in stock

[dull garnet]

I'm using omv and have qbittorrent set up in docker

[sly elk]

Paperwork be damned lol

[dull garnet]

rss set to dl my airing shows

[modest moss]

4gb must be enough for plex

[dull garnet]

i've only got an old laptop hdd for storage rn

probably, although it isn't gonna be great for transcoding

but that is a given

[modest moss]

I'd rather not have transcoding anyway

[dull garnet]

true

fuckin daiz...

my nas setup uses less than 500MB of RAM

so I assume 4GB will be plenty for you

[modest moss]

I'll do some research

[dull garnet]

i just have an smb share on the network and vlc handles playback on my smart tv/android devices

Weeb nas

[wide hill]

i want to borrow my companys esxi servers forever to bring at home

Remember when AMD fanboys made fun of Intel for spectre

[dull garnet]

jesus

[sly elk]

Holy shit that’s awful

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire I just lost to a 163722828 mph wheel bearing snap ring

Right to the eye

[deep sapphire]

wear your safety squints

[potent arrow]

It went under

[deep sapphire]

ooof

I hate that shit

fuckin crawling under a rusty vehicle and rust gets under the safety squints

[potent arrow]

Ya

I was looking over the wheel bearing to see why the ring wasn't coming out

And the little needle on the end of my pliers broke

And the ring went flying

Fuck

Assassinated

Finally got a shipping notice for them this week

[umbral moss]

54%, good christ

what were they doing with prefetch/prediction that fucks the performance this much

[odd sand]

This is why I don't bother with applying any of the fixes bc I figure I'm not important enough for them to hack and I don't want to hamstring performance that badly.

Although I wonder if some of the fixes are baked into bios updates? Or would it be something else?

[umbral moss]

the thing is that you don't know it's being exploited, so you may very well be a worthwhile target

although I've never updated microcode on a CPU in the entire time I've been stuck on this blighted hellworld so

[odd sand]

I thought most of these required physical access to your system though?

[umbral moss]

if I recall, spectre/meltdown/rowhammer didn't

that's why it was such an issue

[dull garnet]

wtf is this ltt video

its like a fucking presentation

like an apple keynote

[odd sand]

Yeah its weird

Terans idea maybe?

[dull garnet]

no idea who that is

The Verge (@verge)

What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator. https://t.co/xlZEydFjlq

Teran (sp?) is the new CEO that Linus brought on that he knew from his NCIX days

[buoyant wasp]

[buoyant wasp]

[inland mauve]

well hopefully this will allow them to make meaningful change

more focus on quality over quantity

humane treatment of employees

no sexual harassment

[sly walrus]

probably change from a working business to a defunct one

[inland mauve]

you know, the basics

[deep sapphire]

That new CEO is a clown

Their apology video was like him talking way too fast, obviously read off a teleprompter with no emotion what do ever

The poor guy only recently took over
