[3:49:31] Outro ft. Outro tries to load 400 messages.
VLC / File Manager is a good Plex alternative. But Jellyfin setup is a breeze as well. You will not struggle, just make sure your transcoding GPU is working, and don't force a resolution setting from the server, so it doesn't break the player.
How are you Canadian and not mention "strange brew" a the best worst movie I'm dumbfounded.
Jellyfin is amazing! USE IT! F PLEX! SERIOUSLY!
In the case of the copied d brand products, I wonder if the influencers got d brand items put in the copies box.
Sounds like LTT needs humane mousetraps aka nonkill mousetraps so linus can get his cat tv back 😀
Edit: 1 min later Linus tells me they have livetraps.
Banana for scale is missing from the 15 yr tee! (in the fruit hexagon) I have one in my car's glove box. I call it the emergency banana.
Remember when taking apart phones took 2 minutes and a small screwdriver
59:59 As the nanometer of chips going lower and lower u can't really mess with it anymore unlocking cores because it is more and more sensitive and more precise..
Casetify is clearly just fucked here. Cut and dry case.
And a billion dollar company, they can hire someone to make something liek that completely original, and they wouldn't feel it, but they still went a cheap shitty crappy way and stole stuff.
Says enough about the company.
No that "merch" is not cool
2.14 – old dial phones could be "tapped" was big in New Zealand with phone boxes in the 1980s. rapidly tapping the hang up button would get access without payment … so sorry Linus but you wrong – planet was hacked!
no one is buying it.
Apple is also a stupid name, no one would know what we are talking about if they don't know the brand. It's the same for every brand
Linus Cat tips is missing
The hackers movie clip with the laptop, just checked, they said P6 chip, triple the speed of a pentium. They didn't say pentium 6.
P6 was Pentium Pro, Pentium 2, and Pentium 3s…. and some celerons, but lets not talk about those.
So yeah, you get the right one, and it may be triple the speed of an early pentium 1.
They called it Risc architecture.. though.
The only thing i can find that's P6 and Risc is this from the wiki page on the p6.
"P6 processors dynamically translate IA-32 instructions into sequences of buffered RISC-like micro-operations, then analyze and reorder the micro-operations to detect parallelizable operations that may be issued to more than one execution unit at once."
But Linus is right, rewatching this, the acting was terrible and it's super cringe.
Billion dollar company, come on Linus, stop spreading fake information…………………………..
1:26:06 Easy solution is have extra Dan(s) for the 2 or 3 times a year you know WANs are going to be busy
From now on, I will be referring to Canadian Dollars as Beaver Bucks
I’m here doing an overnight at Best Buy and it looks like we have pulled these cases off the shelf.
Instead of showing all merch messages at once, show one at a time like old text-based email clients
the new mouse product is lookin good! looks very realistic to a living mouse
can't wait for the ShortCircuit review
Ah yes, the man unwilling to spend another $200; $300; $500 on retesting the billet labs GPU-waterblock on the correct graphics card is now clowning on a company unwilling to buy an ifixit kit and pay people to take phones apart.
Where’s the wing Linus?
Day 02 of asking for a FREE PC
When Linus says "ok Napoleon dynamite fucking sucks" set off my google assistant on my phone and my wife's LOL. how is that even close
Threadripper pricing… welcome to the psychology of pricing. It’s the anchoring heuristic in its full glory that makes you choose the more expensive option and ignore the irrelevant option. Even if you know of it, you still fall foul of its effects…
