Cross-Section posted:https://youtu.be/MDsJJRNXjYI It's basically exactly that yeah. I'll give him the bitrate vs. resolution thing, but everything else could basically be summarized as "services cost money" and... yes, that's true, but it's completely pointless to state that like it's a new revelation.

Did Google sponsor this? (Also, I tracerouted the server streaming this dumb LTT video, and it's on the network of my ISP. Last I remember, Google does ask to ISPs put proxy/edge servers on their networks, hooked up to their dark fiber to save on bandwidth over backbone networks.)

Dunno, he mentioned it casually in one of those super long build and chat streams when talking about local storage on computers I speculate the reason is so there aren’t any notepad files on a local machine that aren’t backed up in case of anything

Everything they build they eventually have a follow up video on how it broke or didn’t work, so I’d imagine backups are pretty important at Ltt

It’s pretty impressive they’ve had these issues plaguing them for over a decade now. I wonder how much of it is the weird insistence to archive everything in original quality, no matter what. Or is it just a continuous and reliable source of content and a way to make some sponsorships work.

It’s none of that, it’s just “I know computers” arrogance thinking they don’t need someone who actually knows what they’re doing at an enterprise level to look at it even once. Said it before, they can make the content videos and then afterwards bring in the external consultant to actually do it, they get the content and the proper system.

I remember in college there was a guy who used to write all his assignments by double-clicking files on the school server in winscp, so they'd open in notepad, and then he'd compile using the ssh session he had open. I don't know if that's  or

This is why I haven't got these, I know they wouldn't work with half the cups I have because it seems like they were designed solely for use with full size pint glasses with fully flat bottoms.

njsykora posted:My money’s on a return that no-one opened the box to check and then got resold. On a $2000 item? That seems... unlikely. Newegg may be loving up their returns and RMAs, but it's not like they weren't opening the boxes. (They were opening the boxes, finding a damaged board, getting manufacturer denied repair, and trying to sell them again.) Seems more likely to be a theft. Possibly at newegg's warehouse, possibly during shipment, possibly in asia before newegg got it. Random metal blanks make be think at or near the factory. It's not like most people have a 6" aluminum disk sitting around. OTOH I'm also not sure what to think -- those weights would rattle around in the box and clang against each other. How did that work during any length of shipping time? And newegg, any time I've ever ordered from them (not for a few years now), have shipped stuff in an outer box. Package theft is gonna be someone stealing the whole thing. Some fedex worker isn't gonna open and carefully replace a GPU with correct weights like indiana jones. But this is why you don't gently caress up your reputation. Newegg has visibly hosed over their customers, so now anything is believable.

I imagine the box is weighed at each stop, and a record is kept. 2 bottles of soy is very stupid, as it's probably not even close to correct weight, but I think the idea is to throw the scent off where exactly the weight changed.

The box is weighted at every stop on the shipping route, it gets put in in the delivery truck... and then the thief does the soy sauce swap to hide when the weight changed? That doesn't seem like it's throwing off any scent. The opposite in fact.
