Eber and Dmitri are fine, but outside of the usual big things that every tech youtuber reviews, their niche tends to be mouse/keyboard/headphone reviews, which I really don't care about, unless I'm actively looking for a new one of those.

Sounds like I need to pay more attention to them. I've seen them resurface in my recommendations after all this sense mi stuff.

GN has a dry, to the point style that's just refreshing and not a waste of my time.

I like HC for their camera work and high production value, but they seem like they're at the bottom of the vloggers when it comes to technical knowledge (with LTT in the middle and GN at the top). Kinda if MKBHD did computer reviews instead of focusing on gadgets/devices.

They're like GameTrailers for videogame reviews, I don't really listen too much to what's said, just let the video do the talking.

He did a video sending HDMI through water as a conductor (via some sort of compression device)

Sure, if arguing against fictitious people complaining about "assuming my gender" in order to feel secure in ones bigotry is your thing. They at least know what the gently caress they're talking about tech wise, and are willing to talk about their mistakes.

They're really bad at that though. Actually, I used to really like them because they are great at shooting video, but drat, any time they talk about audio it ends up being a massive disappointment.

Because we're in the SERIOUS hardware / software crap sub-forum and there is no place for sense of humours here. Everything has to be hard silicon performance numbers and overclocking is mandatory otherwise you're a FAS baby.

yeah that video is actually very interesting in exactly how it makes windows slow

the system had enough ram to nearly hold all of DOOM at once so even though it takes 4 seconds to load a control panel window the game itself runs almost normally

A while back I remember a goon linking one of the videos ranting about how they shouldn't give terrible advice to people, and the video literally starts off with "the proper way to do this is *describes professional backup server* but this is Linus Tech Tips so we're going to do THIS instead."

And somehow people don't get it.

The last third is google, desperately, in the hopes that someone else has already done the legwork and documented it in detail, only to find a post from 2006 that details your exact problem right down to reproducability, and then has "edit: nm i fixed it" appended to the bottom, with no further posts from that account thereafter.

THE ALGORITHM thinks I'd be super into alt-right/MRA/gamergate dudes talking into a webcam in front of their anime figurine collection for an hour, presumably because I watch a lot of nerd poo poo. I always do the "not interested in this channel" thing but it never stops.

If you've watched poo poo even ironically or whatever, delete it from your watch history. This seems to help for me when I start getting bad suggestions because I went on a dumb binge.

Anything can be used as a hammer if you try hard enough.
After almost two decades of solid Intel loyalty, I've just jumped ship and built my first AMD system.

Ryzen 2700X, Asus Prime X370 Pro, 16GB of G.Skill DDR4 3200, a 500GB Samsung 960EVO nVME SSD, and a GTX1060 6GB.

Given I use it for video editing, and it replaced an i7 3770, I do not for one second regret my decision. This thing is blindingly quick with multi threaded workloads and was very reasonably priced.

What's interesting is how often the Ryzen meets or beats the i5-8400 once overclocked. The Zen Uarch seems fully capable of beating Intel, it's just limited by the IF speed. I really hope Zen2 has an async clock for it, it'd probably be a huge performance plus system price gain.
