Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
I love my Motorola G Power that I got for $200, granted I don't take a lot of pics and don't care for a great camera. But for the price, I don't mind it. I mean when it stops working at some point, it's not a big deal to replace cuz I only spent $200 on it 🤷♂️
I should consider donate to Microsoft for using Windows and Office for free for about 20 years now!
Nothing to accept! If you need for work is understandable! But paying these prices because you can't wait a few monthes to upgrade your gaming rig is just dumb! Just don't be a su cker and wait!
Few months later and prices are dropping like rocks!
Why would you not want to mine crypto in every piece of silicon you have? Specially if you have cheap energy or even solar?
The lanyards LTT sells is illegal in the EU since they don’t have a break away lock. So stupid.
Hey I’m in this but not really
PGA extreme edition pillow please 🙂
Best hoodie yet
BUY A CHEAP PHONE. I bought a Galaxy A41 for 180€ in late 2019, recently replaced the battery for 20€ and now its as good as new and I can do everything I want to. Yes, I probably wont be able to play a racing game or something, but if you dont play mobile, the only reason to get a flagship is the camera.
25:12 my $900 phone had the network chip in it completely give out in less than a year. all three other people i know with the same phone had the same issue start around ~9ish months after they got it and had it completely dead in less than a year and a half. the phone i had before it was $1250 and I used it for the full two years before my carrier would replace it but by the end, the battery life was less than half of what it started at. it sucks
15 percent job, lol ! 😉 – i have a view
Sooo…. Maybe you can do what I have seen other apps do. When you download the app you get email info. Then you can send Emails with links to website subscription
Damnit, I have a razer keyboard. I guess I gotta throw it away because I'm too girl
It should be illegal to make 3rd-party-sourced money off of someone, without first entering into an official and mutually-consensual employer/employee relationship, where roles are clearly defined, understood and agreed upon. For a company to make money off of a person, without their knowledge, is literally slavery. The fact that they're unaware that they are functioning as a slaves, does not make them any-less a slave.
PinePhone Pro – 399 Dollars.
Knowing that you're no-longer Apple/Samsung/Google's bitch – Priceless.
Tech material scarcety is a marketing ploy. There is no "shortage". By deliberately under-producing products, not only do manufacturers and sellers dramatically reduce the cost of storing (and paying taxes on) products, they can also charge a premium for their wares. It's what you might call "a racket" and, if any collusion between companies could be proven, it is illegal in most developed countries.
I disagree with the comment of phones only lasting two years. My note 10+, which I just traded in was still fine. It's battery still lasted all day and then some. No noticeable degedation in performance. That phone is approaching three years old this year, I probably could have kept it for another two years with no issues. I just wanted the improved display and cameras of the s22 ultra.
Useless face diapers !!! A fool and his money is easily seperated.
i have a 2080ti with 12gbs vram and as long as the game is optomised i can run almost any game maxed in 4k at 60fps.
eg when cyberpunk first came out it would not run at 60fps on medium settings at 1080p
now its running in 4k 60fps on high (still cant use ray traceing but to be honest its not so great, it possably will be but right now its just extra eye candy that you can live without.
i keep saying this we need better optomised games and not be compleatly focused on ultra powerfull GPUs
that benifts the producers of GPUs not us.
"Razer's did a sexism" 🤣🤣🤣
someone who makes a conceited effort to commit a crime vs someone who made a mistake, however misguided they were in that moment to make the decisions that led up to it… is still a mistake, and deserves less punishment than something that was intentional and maybe even planned out
to clarify: it would be better to have a base punishment level, and then intentional and malicious actions on top of that should be punished further rather than differently
The issue you are having with the IOS app and Android app is a huge reason that there should be a legal requirement for allowing root access to users by default instead of having the user jump through hoops to set up developer mode or the increasingly popular "mini-apps" that run inside an approved app. We have done this for years on PC and the security issues that the companies site do not justify locking down the OS. There are many technical solutions that could make it so that people know they are gaining root access and the phone could be sold locked down by default, but it should be illegal to lock the hardware down.
My rule of thumb of a phone used to be to buy the used version of the flagship model that is 2 gens old around the month that the newest gen releases. Last phone I purchased was a Note 9, and it is still going strong and I don't think I am gonna need to replace it for a few more years. The specs are so high on the most recent flagships are so high that the battery is the only concern, though so far it has been lasting long enough for me and performance shows no noticeable slowdown.
God forbid that I need to replace the screen though, I just purchased the same model for my son, and the same phone was actually more expensive, so I considered buying one with a broken screen and having a new screen put in, but the screens were around 250, so that really isn't an option. The increase in value could be inflation or it could be the fact that the Note 9 is the last note with a headphone jack, not really sure…
It's nice that corporations are talking to the government about security of open source …
Maybe they should talk about how much profit Mojang/Microsoft made from Minecraft or Amazon, Googe… are making while using open source software for free, and how much of that money they are spending to review the freaking code they are using, and validate that it is safe/secure !
Even if you don't donate money for opensource code you are using while making money from them, at the very least you should check if it is safe when you are selling it!
If anyone else did that with not-software they would probably be sued. "Look at these used needles I have found, let me sell them for money as a product I made…"
I will miss LG phones because their audio is great. My V60 is still excellent and it has a headphone jack.
At 6:06, Luke took ten seconds to suggest, what I thought was, a pretty good idea. Secret shop Razer and try to return a mask. I could be wrong but I think that would be a good show considering how many views LTT got from past secret shopper videos. LInus responds by saying the story is long enough already, he doesn't care anymore, and he's at a point in his career where he just doesn't give a shit anymore, and then goes on a solid six-minute rant about Razer's keyboard switches and masks. Luke finally gets a second to chime in and what does LInus do?
12:30
Really bro? Really? If you need to check that shit, do it when you're commanding attention. It's so rude especially in front of an audience of people.
I own a 30 dollar phone and have no intention of paying more on a phone
Lol imagine thinking a Tesla is environmentally friendly, how fucking stupid. It's kinda sad people still call them environmentally friendly when it's all produced and charged on a majority thermal powered system. Nothing changes or it gets worse in terms of climate change with EVs. Unless the overall electrical infrastructure and manufacturing sector, nothing is gonna change
What if… LTT and/or Framework started up a side project modular laptop… where even the CPU was something that could be slotted in old-school PCMCIA style. Obviously, this would not work for x86/64 chips. But it could work really well with RISC-V if there's a version of that which could compete with ARM. If you design the laptop so that the CPU connections are closer to any one side of the parts bay, and design Performance CPUs to be non-removable from a module itself (and design it so the internals of the module allow ample space/connections for larger sized chips for potential future growth)… Then you can make generations of CPU sockets much larger and/or completely avoid socket-wars. With all of that said… you design cooling for the internal socket (and maybe apply the same concept to other major components like a GPU or SDR or such) and if a "CPU card" like that could be designed to be at least nearly as good as soldered, then the "mainboard" or motherboard or whatever you want to call it, then becomes much simpler by just being a PCB for connections to ports/modules, a chipset, and power splitting, and maybe RAM as well if that's not also cardified. Then, you can maybe also replace the chipset with a more advanced SOC so that even without the performance "CPU Card" it still operates like a smartphone or tablet.
It's a rather old way of designing a computer, but putting a modern-tech spin on the idea, could lead to some very interesting possibilities. This way, if all the different card-slot-things become a standardized form factor or whatever, when a mainboard/SOC reaches end of life, you can get a new shell and just slot all your components in and keep using them. I suspect this would be a really niche market, but if the design took off and it became a sort of standard for laptops, or maybe even a new device category or something, people would still want to buy "the latest and greatest" parts for it. So many things keep getting remade or upgrades and changes in various ways… but a lot of times changes will discard some of the good things about a previous system. I'm talking about revisiting some of computer history and seeing how applying some of those ideas with modern tech and concepts could make something new and more useful.
Edit: If this took off and became a norm… and the socket-card-thing for GPU used the full 16x lanes or whatever depending on design, then eGPUs could really shine using that port/socket/whatever and allowing for a properly seamless docked gaming experience. The "Desktop" PC could then become a power supply/eGPU/IO hub/water (or other) cooler. Could keep it the size of a tower and include a UPS. More modularity means more configure-ability for whatever use-case anyone might have.
Rip motorola, blackberry and LG. Bought my lg v60 and within a few months they said they were no longer making cellphones. The v35 and v60 are the 2 best phones ive ever owned
Advertising and marketing, must be held to claims, people purchased Masks because they specifically looked a way they did under the Marketing promise of actual N95 protection, so Razer should be held accountable for False advertising. and can be held negligent over a possible class action law suit.
Fin.
oh no, razer masks arent protecting you from basically the flu 🙁 how awful
Do Razer still make good laptops?
poco f1, lenovo z6 pro, poco x3 pro – were EPIC price:performance phones, matching the "flagsips" and costing 1/4 of their price.
I feel like the PS6 is right around the corner… F crazy…
Still wrong thumbnail lol
Razer is a shady company who will screw you over at every possibility. Avoid buying anything razer.
Televisions are a bit of an exception. 20 years ago, televisions were SIGNIFICANTLY more heavy. Flat screens weren't ubiquitous yet, and weight & size has a lot to do with retail price, especially when you're shipping tens or hundreds of thousands of them from China to the U.S or elsewhere. Those big heavy 42" TVs were NOT cheap to ship. They weren't cheap to make, either. Once all the manufacturers switched to flat screen productions, prices not only dropped due to competition and a maturing manufacturing process, but simply due to weight & size. That's why you can get a (off-brand) 50+ inch TV for less than $500. I remember when the cheapest 50" TV just cracked the $1,000 price point. It was a huge deal back then. It was then that TVs started weighing less. Back then, you absolutely required a second person to move a TV if it was over 40 inches. It was a common thing for buddies and coworkers to help each other when they bought a new TV, then after it was moved, the owner usually threw a party with beer and pizza, or had a BBQ. Now, my mom can carry her own 47" TV from her car to her living room.
10:14 is linus unironically going after them for a contextual pronoun? it is neutral/general in multiple languages' usage esp. in context.
'Their' might be better style/clearer but this isn't a talking point to actually go after someone about, the meaning or intent is clear, there isn't some kind of deep commitment to something here.
43:37 The moment when Luke is trying to leave the show
yeah i want to get a new pc but with the current crazy prices i'm hold off on that
DO AN AUDIO PRODUCTION PC BUILD!
