a lot of people went way overboard with mocking him (it was fun to poke some jabs at it, sure, but a little ridiculous how far it went) and there was definitely a little bit of the ol' gamer racism in some of it. And yeah I've forgotten the IO shield all the loving time on my old builds, thank god that decent motherboards have it already built in

Phones and laptops could stand to be a bit thicker than they currently are anyway, and if that increase allows for a design that's easier to upgrade and repair that's just fine. As it stands the iphone has that stupid loving camera bump for no reason when the back could just as easily be flush with the cameras if they added ~1-2mm of thickness to the phone. That said, yeah any attempt at making a phone that can be easily repaired is going to necessarily have compromises to efficient design to facilitate that ability to repair - you can't really make weird-rear end board and battery shapes if the user is expected to be able to replace them with another one down the road that might need a different design. Maybe a laptop this would probably be easier to do since there is a lot more space, so I see the argument there. As for the e-waste thing, sure you don't junk the whole phone but what happens with the old components after you replace them? The ones that are obsolete and can't be used anymore for things because developers seem to think that exponentially increasing compute power gives them leeway to be lazier with optimization? For that matter, batteries which just have a set lifespan regardless of if they're replaceable or not?

A bit disappointed in the sort of just weak magnet thing on there as decoration when it could have been like, a paint job or something, but it's great that it's not attached to some garbage PSU

lurker2006 posted:I appreciate Steve's work and all but if I'm being real no online retailer measures up to newegg's combination of selection and pricing. Steve said as much, that the reason he's doing this is because he used to use Newegg back in the day because it was a great place to buy things and to see how far it's fallen is super disappointing. I know "keeping people accountable" is a bit of a meme and joke lately but in this instance it seems to be his motive.

I have never considered the idea of a warranty for something like a backpack, i can't really imagine what would go wrong with it other than something tearing or a zipper going bad but I figure that just comes with the territory

TheFluff posted:Financialization is a fact in pretty much every manufacturing industry now, everyone is desperately trying to figure out how to pivot from selling things once to selling subscriptions. The rule of thumb is that one dollar of recurring revenue is worth seven dollars of one-time revenue, when it comes to things like valuations and whatnot. Nobody cares about actual profit today, everyone wants a story about potential profit tomorrow. I myself work for a company that sells physical devices direct to consumers, and while that's well and good, it's also insignificant even though it's making us a lot of money - the board's top priority is making us convert our enterprise customers to a subscription sales model as soon as possible. many such cases!

njsykora posted:A lot of big channels don't allow fan subtitling because of the abuse potential or because Youtube doesn't say when subs are fanmade or provided by the channel itself, so if the subs are bad (because the person doing the translation was just using Google translate) the channel gets blamed. Also LTT's fanbase would 100% think uploading hundreds of Klingon or Swedish Chef subtitles is hilarious. I think Youtube might've dropped the feature completely actually. they did and it sucked because there were some channels i watched that had an active community translating into english that made up a decent amount of their viewership, and after that the views dropped markedly because fan made subs became too much hassle for them to deal with in whatever their "replacement" for this feature ended up being

Interesting that the adapters they have is different from the one Igor tested and behaved entirely differently. whoa you mean igor came out with some hot take that was poorly sourced and ultimately either inaccurate or a red herring? no way dude?

Tiny Timbs posted:USB-C PD implementations annoy me. My current laptop (Asus Zephyrus G14) supports it but charging with USB-C disables the battery health functionality that lets power delivery bypass the battery once it's charged instead of endlessly charging and discharging it. USB-C -> Barrel Connector might be a way around that.

Charles Leclerc posted:It's also a really dumb premise because the greatest GPU of all time is objectively whatever is the fastest, latest GPU available. Idk "great" could mean a lot of things, and you could easily say that whatever card had the biggest uplift or value over the previous generation would qualify it. 9700 Pro and 1080Ti both seem like good contenders for that title.

okay i get the vitriol against jayz2cents (even if i don't necessarily agree with it) but linus? he's said a sorta clueless thing about unions once, was off the mark on the backpack warranty (lol that's a thing?) and makes a bunch of clickbait content. what's there to be super mad about with linus?

njsykora posted:There's been a concerted effort from some people to get that term used again, I've seen it popping up more and more in tech videos especially. I'd argue though that the hardcore PC gamer types never did accept that the term is poo poo and elitist. It feels like it's going to resurface to distinguish the people who use "real" PCs (ie, DIY desktops) from the filthy Fortnite playing casuals using handhelds and cheap prebuilts. look at the car industry, half the advertising for cars is about how superior having a big truck makes you, being elitist does work to sell people on things

Why are you surprised about them not caring about someone that experienced harassment? there's enough to be angry at linus tech tips about (the theft, the sexual harrassment poo poo going on) without reading into stuff like that, or "remembering" other things so you can get yourself more angry
