Those raptor drives are often cheaper than 2.5" – 3.5" drive adapters, with a better quality.
I see Linus wearing a fitbit air. Is there any chance for a review coming soon?
I love kagi search! been using since 2024!
2:29:42 licensing is the exact reason on why guitar hero games aren't backwards compatible
I bought my ps5 for 750aud before price increase. I got it an nvme 2tb for 160aud… Now my console and storage is worth like 1250-1400aud new 🫠 got my friend a 2tb nvme before price increases for his ps too, luck
Its not often you can recognize linus is canadian but sometimes there are signs
could anyone find the website luke booked the knife workshop at. I found one that seems like the right one but cant find where to book an acual class
I can't believe for one minute that Linus worries about the price of memory whilst his private jet is being refueled.
nvidia is killing their OG control panel? I'm not surprised. they'll do anything to get people to install their barely functional app I guess. unless they make it faster, i'm still gonna keep choosing not to install it.
Id love to see Linus play league and Sammy yell at him the entire time for not knowing what he is doing
Steam machine is just user devkit for broad version of SteamOS
Gamecube was also AMD ( ATI )
I have a NAS comprised of SSDs 😅 what happened to I for inexpensive in RAID???
It was for power efficiency, noise level, lancache, low latency.
1:47:06 can hire lawyers 😅
Kagi is very nice! And I cant wait till they come out with a browser.
If feels like what google was 20 years ago
Steam machine is going to be way overpriced now.
2:55:01 they have your address, think twice before not tipping.
Im glad that even though its new problems we are exploring new solutions tonight
Has the Pelican or whatever always been in the upper left corner?
I've long switched to startpage on desktop, which, just like duckduckgo, gets the data anonymized from google, however, since my "regular" searches are less tech and english focused, I end up still preferring google over national-built spying alternative on phone, which is a bummer.
And it's really unfortunate since other search engines work even worse than google for these tasks.
vro duckduckgo is peak af
Why are we watching them play T2T?
I have 6TB (2 and 4tb nvmes) in my Legion laptop. I think I paid like $300 total for both drives a while back 😅
How much is steam machine going to be on release seeing they have stuck 50% price increase on there handheld.
Cheap ram before GTA VI
