Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
1:11:19 Linus Sebastian is a Brony
Nobody: "ltt water bottle.."
Nobody again: "ltt store dot comm…"
Close your eyes, listen to Linus and imagine Steve Carell as Michael Scott being your favorite tech advisor…
The current issue with NiceHash stems more from the lack of decentralization, abuse of crypto networks, and multi dollar cut.
No one actually cares about NiceHash. They care about exerting power over others. There is no paying or forgiveness with those types of people. Doesn't matter if the company apologizes or what happens with the founder… It's forever a point these people can whine about. The only winning move is to ignore them.
@54:55 My American brain rn:❓❓❓🤯🤯
Linus hyping himself up with a "you got this" RIGHT at the start was so adorable
The voice announcing the trains at my local train station: 1:04:18
You dont understand sh*t
Linus releases an angry video with ~3M views railing against crypto while demanding that Nvidia unlock the hash rate limiter, gets 250K upvotes because none of his viewers have the braincells to comprehend the hypocrisy (and then later confirms his hypocrisy by releasing a full video on how to get in on crypto mining). Shortly later, Nvidia releases the unlocked driver. Accident? Coincidence? Hard to know. But either way, fuck you Linus.
Now you can actually use those "only mining cards" with official nvidia driver enabled GPU-passthrough? 😛 Make your own plex server or whatever.
About the growing scarcity of computer parts (GCs but not only that, memory too as their price have raised lately), IMHO there's another factor to consider: big companies like Wall Mart, Best Buy etc who have gone over their primal business leitmotivs in their offerings towards VAR avenues, e.g. selling their own lines of PC builds. The more they can stack in their stockrooms, the greater their leverage can be for such a market (acting as scalpers). At the very least, this would be something to explore and monitor…
This is my first podcast ever watched. The binge watching starts now!
I'm American and you can say it all day long if you want: The prior administration which shall not be named was galactically irresponsible and petty and stupid and vindictive for its own sake because it had the USD and lack of any real intra-governmental accountability to stand behind.
Will you guys be willing to ship internationally? To South Africa for example?
Even if miners don't grab them, scalpers still will. There will be no change for the typical gamer as they will still fetch extortionate prices until supply can recover.
Admittedly I don't catch most of these when they come out, so I just listen to them on a day off or something. Would like to offer my 2 cents as a 'murican.
I've honestly never directly paid any import duties on anything I've ordered from around the world (China, Malaysia, Germany, UK, Australia, etc), so it's not something most of us are familiar with. However, please don't let that stop you from hooking up other V.A.G.s, just start the program now and let America jump in at a later date, or at least let us register and pay the fees if we want to. I would still prefer paying MSRP + tax + duty fees vice buying from a scalper any day of the week, even if it ends up being a similar price.
no you are wrong, iPads are bad now. when i buy a tablet i want it to be a tablet not a laptop. a tablet becoming like a laptop is not a good thing. eg watching a video while lying on bed- it's very difficult to do with the new ipad but very comfortable with a normal tablet.
I am so happy you guys can eat now
why would anyone use mousepads in 2021
Why one needs to buy a VPN, if we have Tor?
Linus, being salty, aren't we?!
So I'm trying to find info on the verified actual gamer program.. How do I verify my gamer-ness ?
Time to send donos in rubles… get linus to do stuff for less than 1.50 USD
