I've missed WAN-Shows like this. Just luke and linus. I love Dan and everyone else but this just feels more calmer and maybe even "personal"?

Just make the golf ball bright green and then you could see it.
Or better still just play a night with a night golf ball as they glow in the dark!

It was a warning ⚠️/ it was more to the fact / if I didn't react how they wanted / then they go off and make sure / …why .."when the say it ,.. they've got to do it"

2:44:00 I would say this is better, but it also means no content and that's why I'm here: content.

Dan, thanks for fixing it so quickly.

You should take a look at .kkrieger. All textures, models and everything is procedurally generated. Thus making the game 96 KILOBYTES.

On the sim rig.. yes its expensive but like most racing, it's reachable for many more than actually do it..
Look at rally below works teams. They are either successful private racing businesses or the buisness owner who just wants to do it and has the means to do it.

Look at you and badminton.. ok your more fiscally aware but your doing it to have a better experience yourself. You can't guarantee you will make profit with it but your doing it anyway.

I'll be honest. Being transparent with the Mac Address channel is the best route. Yeah, not happy to hear they're "playing ball" with Apple, but since I don't use Apple products where possible, I don't have any skin in that game. It's up to people using Apple products to decide if they want their reviews and news about Apple stuff to be tempered with "Apple Corp Expectations."

Two comments regarding the faster storage discussion:
#1 The PS5 has a dedicated hardware accellerator for direct storage. This wasn't just some fancy marketing speech and there is a legit reason why it doesn't work that well on PC yet. Because Sony went ahead and did create a custom piece of silicon for their specific application that is not available in the DIY space.

#2 A much bigger real world impact for consumer storage speed would be to increase memory access performance, not raw throughput. What's a 5 gigabyte per second link worth if your QLC memory throttles down to a couple Megabytes as soon as you hit it with random reads/writes (as real world applications tend to be). I feel there has been a disconnect between the memory technology itself and the interface it's connected to.

2:08:50 Searchability.
I was looking up a company called "independent films" yesterday.
I got 77 million pages of independent films and just 1 search result for the company. So I'ld say it's a stupid name, but in 1989 the internet wasn't a thing yet for businesses.
Singers though seem to do it on purpose, calling their albums unfindable titles.

I would be fine with opening like 1 new in box n64 for review purposes but opening 7 or 8 just to open them just seems like devaluing them to devalue them if that makes sense.

1:53:59 In chat: "oh my god is that the eiffel tower???"
Yes, that is the Eiffel tower.
They moved it just yesterday. It was a request of Linus to have it at the background for the show. It'll be back in Paris next week, though.

Wow, does Windows really not have Quick Resume for games yet? I thought for sure it would have come to PC after the Series X and Windows 11 release.

(I went with PS5/Series X/Apple silicone/Steamdeck this generation just to get some variety after 20+ years of PC building/gaming. My last build was in the Windows 10/RTX 2080-era and I just use that machine as my NAS now so I’m not up to date on Windows features.)

Transparency is almost never not a good thing.

Oh man, accelerator cards for everything! Just like the old days. 3D accelerator, physics accelerator and sound.

It's time for you to admit you fired Emily because you're transphobes! Why dont you have any LBGTQ+ merch?

54:29 the moon escape velocity is 2.4 Km/s, it’s unlikely you can get a golf ball that fast to escape its gravity.

1:06:40 "It's gozwha"
I have no clue who this is. No clue at all.
In fact, I can't think of anyone that might have a name that sounds like that.
People in chat were also asking "who?"

I get your guys' point on the "Never attribute to malice what can be attributable to ineptitude." HOWEVER, what scares me about this is having to trust that Gigabyte isn't going to sneak their own spyware on to people's PC's using this. Even if they can make that back door out of iron and make their data centers iron fortresses so the end user would never be hacked, we still have to trust Gigabyte with this power. We live in an age where information has never been more valuable than today. And we live in an age where Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook have CLEARLY SHOWN they don't care about end user privacy. Our data is minable and valuable, and here's a company that has a built in back door to our PC's through their product. How long before Gigabyte abuses that back door, and how much longer until we discover it? That scares me.

There was a time period a few years ago where MSI, NZXT, and Gigabyte all had dangerous products on the market and got SPANKED by GamersNexus over how bad their customer service and handling of this product. (I think it was the exploding power supplies that was Gigabyte's issue.) They have clearly shown in the past they will turn their noses up at customers, so you'll have to excuse me about trusting them with this going forward.

3:33:41 That's just a load of shit at worst, at best you worded that super poorly.

"I don't value a car that hasn't been driven" So you will never buy a car new because its never been driven so its not worth the 50k asking price? So you will buy used cars with 500,000kms on the clock because you don't care that its been used right? Despite the fact the new car HAS VALUE BECAUSE it HASN'T been used. Thus its a considerably more reliable vehicle, especially compared to most cars past the 300,000km mark.

"I don't value a console that hasn't been played" So you wouldn't buy a new console because it hasn't been played? Again its the same thing with a used car, the reliability on a used console just isn't as good, i wouldn't buy a used mining GPU without a heavy discount because it can fail and thus i'm out both the GPU and the cash i spent. I wouldn't pay for a used console without a heavy discount, because lord forbid the console stops reading discs or has some other issue not long after purchase.

I'm just gonna have to agree with Linus here with "you're just an idiot" because its just inherently a flawed argument. "I wouldn't pay 50k for a 1st Ed holo Charizard as i don't think that's worth it" 100% understandable, but using "I don't think things are valuable if they haven't been used" is just stupid. On one side, not understanding the value of it or caring is fine really, but to take the stance "Just open it bro, its got no value if you can't use it" is just plain stupid imo

Faster storage faster backups

The video DerBauer did showing the PowerColor GPU production facility is the perfect example of how a company can gain a huge PR boost from listening to what the content creator actually wants to see (and not just pushing the content creator to accept what marketing wants to push on them).

The number of people who commented on that video and said "my next card will be a PowerColor" (and probably those who made the same decision but didn't comment about it) and the overall good press they got for showing off their line and being open about it likely more than justifies whatever costs PowerColor incurred in making it happen.

Collectibles are. Like turning things into art. You're. Repurposing it. Choosing to look at it is it's new use. It's not like you're not. Using it.

Not sure what Luke meant by the evolution from Zelda BotW to TotK, they're both ugly and have bad performance.
Don't get me wrong, I love and play both games, they're amazing, but graphics aren't the reason why.

ROG paid huuge sums for Youse to not promote competition PC Gaming devices until we forget about ASUS being a bunch of tuesday visitation rights.

I wonder how much making that pool costed. I'm sure that for the money they are spending it's cheaper to bring a team from a hotter climate like anywhere else in south america and getting it done for WAY cheaper and faster.
