I like Linus and he can do whatever he wants in the privacy of his own home in regards to hanging dong; but I do agree that maybe showing the home security cam footage of himself freeballing while trying to fight this particular fire, in his YT video explaining what had happened, was maybe just a bit much.

He's just doing YT a favor to see if his videos will still get banned. Gotta make sure the algorithm works.

ArsTechnica does this with their luxury car coverage and it’s pretty funny to see. The comments section is always mad they’re not reviewing Nissan Versas but they’re not the ones paying for day trips to San Diego.

It's loving infuriating Ars also does this on their rocket coverage handling SpaceX with kid gloves.

My biggest pet peeve on mechanical restoration channels is when, instead of machining the replacement part of the critically rusted out part, they just chuck everything in a rustoleum vat and call it a day. Putting a ton of bondo on a pitted/holed out part and then repainting it seems a bit like a fake out.

Wood working channels like Blackstone, and or random old cabinet restorations are my jam. For the longest time I would watch like metal workers fix up "old" knives and antique axes that's also pretty satisfying in all the different methods to get rust off of stuff. I'll do poo poo like that once a year to remove all the rust on my grill and seal it in mineral spirits and vegetable oil.

just wait until corps find out that real team building happens from shared trauma

When I worked at Fry's circa 2005-2006, that's how we all legit bonded. Just drinking being in early mid 20s and hating where we worked. Gaming their systems was one of the only perks of working there, having a Supervisor label something on clearance when it was some fancy new DLP TV for someone as long as they bought the warranty to make the store numbers look good, or keeping a processor that was in super high demand for someone so they could get a discount on it.

And then just getting absolutely blasted at a bar after closing.

poo poo retail is probably the only time I could see after hours drinking and bitching about work be any kind of helpful.

Since GN has been making GBS threads all over the "new" Intel gen of procs, does anyone else think that with the slower-ish output of LTT vids, that they're just waiting for other credible channels to do formulas and math work so they can just copy paste to make sure they don't gently caress up results again?

Gamers Nexus have just released their review of the production/release version of the Billet Labs monoblock (you know, the one Linus auctioned off).

I like the concept, and I wish something like this could be applied to current gen consoles as a way to solve their cooling issues from the poo poo console body design along with heat exhaust ports.

Even the series X? I thought that had some really excellent cooling design from the “stack” design to the whole Vapor chamber thing.

It is decent but it's just ultimately fan noise that gets to me. Plus why would you want an Xbox if you already have a PC? That would theoretically have a better cooling solution than an X-Box.

this is absolutely a "me" problem but I do a lot of gaming on the console lately because the PC is where "work" is, or is mentally associated with, and stepping away from it helps segregate the activities in my brain

I really only use consoles when it's games that can really only be played on console, Switch, PS4/5 if you don't want to wait a year to play something. It's nice to sit on the couch and play something on an 80in TV with good sound. I just hate the exhaust whine of the Playstation, Switch barely has any moving parts inside it, so there's no complaints there. Plus pretty much all my multiplayer game time is done on PC, PUBG, Hunt, Apex. Everything else outside of that is played through GamePass and it's super convenient. I have a work laptop, and a personal setup. Once work is done I just put the laptop away and hit a different video input to be on my personal machine, it also helps my office is pretty comfortable and I sit all day on a Fern.

Games are a relaxing thing for a lot of people and it's nice to just know that (buggy games and 30fps/60fps menu choices notwithstanding) you can just load up a game and it'll work on the console and look how the developers intend it to look.

Like because I have a PC with a 3070 in it I can't justify this round of consoles, and it lives under the TV as an ersatz console now, but I do get sucked into obsessing over graphics settings and wondering if I've got everything optimised in the best way between looking as nice as possible and playing as smoothly as possible. It (by which I mean I) kind of ruined Cyberpunk for me until I just gave up on raytracing so that I could crank all the other settings up and play the game nice and smoothly.

It's good to just let go of that poo poo with a console and play the game as-is without second guessing.

I mean there's lots of other things that can be less than smooth, debugging, weird Windows stuff (my xbox game bar on PC hasn't worked in a long time and I don't know why), installs and updates misbehaving. You solve so much of that with a closed system of a console.

It's also still not as elegant as it should be to just use as a gaming device. I need to dig out a mouse and keyboard to log on, mouse over to the game launchers - I can't just do it all with a controller.

DS4Windows lets you use a dualshock controller with the touchpad on it as a really sensitive mousepad and left click, it can't do right clicking unfortunately.

Honestly, I'm game for the back-of-board connectors if only for the ergonomics. Trying to plug in fan headers and power cables with a huge heatsink in the way is and always will be a gigantic pain in the rear end.

A shame that cable cover/GPU support block doesn't come with the case, also :laffo: at the rats nest it hides in the back, manufacturer should at least pony up for all the ties and clips you'll need to make that poo poo organized. And maybe even supply right angled connector heads to make sure the cables can be flush. Neat concept that I hope becomes way more normalized, but you can tell where they skimped.

Man he needs an editor.

I really don't see how it isn't edited properly when this entity, Gamer's Nexus, isn't a huge news corp reporting on all of this. They do this on their own because they feel it's newsworthy and put things into as much detail as possible to make sure facts are not misconstrued or manipulated in anyway.

News, print, radio, television,USED to take their time in reporting things. The only other program that I could compare something like this would be Frontline which is INCREDIBLY dense and thorough in reporting, but also has way more cash reserves to do their in-depth pieces.

Steve wanting to get people that were laid off, and or soon to be laid off employed is really loving cool.
