Speaking of computer jesus, what are your thoughts on the stadia dev machine video? I was visibly going WTF once he started disassembling it, like he never saw a professional OEM case. Be it for the quick replace psu or gorilla ripping the front when it just required four screws to take the front I/O out. All of this is explained in the freely available service manual and GN went passive aggressive in the comments when lot of people pointed out steve yelling at clouds without any reason to do so.

Scythe gave me a screwdriver for free with each cooler. They're not real fancy but they're long enough to tighten down the Fuma 2 and Mugen. The NH-D15 I just had to figure it out myself like some kind of caveman! Okay, I did just use the scythe one. Nobody tell Noctua.

The Stadia video was illustrative of how bad the service must have been that they were still dicking around with Vega cards that late in the game

Maybe it's market dependent but, grabbing a fully decked workstation when a design firm refreshed their systems, was a classic way to get a killer rig in my general area. All the things that escapes steve now is stuff that every nerd experienced decades ago here. I think my first QD PSU was in a two way HP CAD monster that weighted as much as a moped, running 64 vista stock. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Dec 8, 2022 |

Didn't Steve work for Dell way back before he started GN? I don't think it's lack of experience.

I don't think it was a case of him not understanding how to take the computer apart. It was probably more that he doesn't like non-standard "clever" solutions that make it hard to replace things and then playing it up for the camera. It was pretty much a fluff video. Didn't really have anything to do with Stadia as 99% of the machine was just an off the shelf Lenovo workstation.

I felt he was just funning around (especially since there have been so-goddamned-many teardowns of legit bad pre-builts this year). No-one watching is going to be meaningfully mislead by the acerbic commentary from a dev-kit teardown. Edit: I don't mean that in a pointed way. It's just... it was a novelty, in the sense of being a Stadia dev-kit, but other than cataloging the parts, there really wasn't much else to say about it. Edit: Though perhaps Steve would argue that the non-standard parts still suck, even in the dev-kit context, because very little, if any of it, could be meaningfully re-purposed when the machine is no longer needed. magimix fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Dec 8, 2022 |

Anyways I'm pretty sure Vega cards were one of the things that made Stadia possible. AMD put those out right before the 2017 crypto crash, they sucked for everything but mining crypto, and AMD ended up sitting on a ton of excess stock. I always figured that Google decided to do Stadia because they could get a sweet deal on a load of vega cards to run it. Of all the things that they cheaped out on, that was the totally excusable one. If they hadn't hosed up everything *else* and Stadia had actually gone somewhere, it would have been easy to upgrade them.

Klyith posted:RDNA desktop didn't come out until mid-2019, that was the only thing AMD had. Haven't watched the teardown vid yet but one thing stadia had was multiple GPUs in a system using PCIe switches. They had a card with a x16 gen4 interface to a switch to 2 x16 GPUs. So I think in the racks themselves they had a lot more GPUs per host, the devkit is probably like one of the instances worth of GPU power, or something like that.

Kerbtree posted:He’s probably give them less stick if they did’t cut basically every possible corner, ever. A case full of tool-less greebles so you can replace a PSU in under 1 minute isn't cut corners. That stuff costs more money than the cable routing tie-downs and 50 different fan mounting points and other "conveniences" in the average consumer case. Steve is being hyperbolic about it because he wants to make sure his audience knows why an OEM system is bad for anyone with enough aptitude to swap out parts in their own machine. Because that's cheaper and better for reducing waste etc. But that case is actually really nice for its intended purpose. It's highly serviceable even though nothing is replaceable. If you are an IT guy maintaining 100s of workstations in an office, that lenovo workstation is very nice.

One of Steve's bugaboos is his obsession with standardized stuff and re-using things forever, unless it's something he personally finds cool. It makes a ton of sense for consumer hardware to be standardized, but commercial hardware you just care about being able to swap things easily and secure replacements as needed.

Kerbtree posted:He’s probably give them less stick if they did’t cut basically every possible corner, ever. Workstations not made from standard parts have far more investment behind than a run of the mill atx case+innards. If a workstation fails, it's real money gone so a field tech must be able to replace everything with a onsite visit (up to 4hrs from SR opening if you got the cash for full coverage) and the more time the tech takes to repair, the more cash the oem pays. Also the "this is a one time usable part and you should feel bad about it" spiel gets kinda dishonest when every single modular psu has their own non-interchangeably wires, which steve's rarely rants on.

It looks like LTT were actually in touch with the Stadia developer that sent them their system so they were able to get a lot of documentation and other information about developing for Stadia that Steve didn't get (since he purchased his system off a random auction listing), some of which Linus shares in their video.

I also suspect, as he's mentioned they are shifting to another printer (local to them if I recall), so they probably ended up with boxes of blanks, and well, do something with em.

I know working IT for fashion the models all wear just plain rear end bikinis then the art people come in and mask out the old bikini and software then inserts the design, so you can have one model pose but like 15 designs.

Belated LTT backpack review now that I have carted it half way across the world: I got a $60 refund because if you have even the vaguest acquaintance with the channel you know that they are not going to be able to do taxes competently. It's definitely a tech dork backpack for people who are resigned to a lifetime of emptying their entire loving backpack at the TSA 'how are we going to pointlessly gently caress you around today' show, but it's very comfortable, very sturdy and I'm confident my laptop, tablet, camera, lens, etc is absolutely safe.
