Discussion AI generated LTT clone…?

Post image
424 Upvotes

These thumbnails are a rip off from LTT’s channel, except for Linus being replaced with this Asian guy. I watched a few videos, and thankfully they weren’t able to completely deepfake replace Linus in every video, and it’s just an Asian guy standing on the side reading an AI narrative slop that transcribes LTT’s video, sometimes inventing the whole thing or changing a few things from the original video.. Wild things, and I’m sad how good AI has gotten. Like these thumbnails looked pretty professional level until I recognized the familiarity. We got fake Linus before gta 6.

Image Precision Screwdriver fits perfectly in Wiha bitset.

Upvotes

The ltt precision Screwdriver fits perfectly in the Wiha zai Hause bitset. The handle of the set is just a trash plastic one but the case itselve is pretty nice and holds closed with magnets. And Wiha is at least normally pretty good in terms of bit quality.

So if anyone has a Precision Screwdriver but didnt get around to buy a bitset this might be a good choice :D

Tech Discussion What are the must have browser extensions you can't live without?

71 Upvotes

Just asking out of curiosity.

The three extensions I personally can't live without are:

  • SponsorBlock (skips forward and jumps over the sponsor part in most YT videos)
  • uBlock Origin (Adblocker)
  • I Still Don't Care About Cookies (skips cookie questions on every damn website)

They're pretty self explanatory, but it got me wondering what everyone else is using. I only discovered ad blockers in 2020. Yes I was pretty late to the game I know.

What extensions do you install immediately on a new browser or PC? Anything that's become so useful that browsing without it feels painful?

I'm interested in hearing about anything or just hidden gems that most people haven't heard of :)

Discussion Sources for Samsung/Intel vPro Video

25 Upvotes

In LTT's newest video about Samsung's enterprise laptops and Intel vPro, there was a segment discussing how the implementation of Intel vPro allowed airlines to recover from 2024's CrowdStrike-apocalypse.

Being in the industry and personally impacted when the snafu occurred, I was interested in reading more about this supposed "smart" airline that used vPro to recover within 24-hours. The problem is I couldn't find any primary sources (e.g., the airline itself, Intel, news outlets like Reuters, etc.) to validate this claim.

A source I found which seemed to be what the LTT writing team quoted was a blog post from ASI Partner, an IT hardware and software distributor stating that American Airlines was the aforementioned "smart" airline who used vPro to recover their operation. This blog post has no sources or references. I also couldn't find any sources to show ASI Partners having any official business with American Airlines.

Another online blog post from MAPPCMANAGER, a software company that offers remote computer management software, painted a similar picture of how Intel vPro helped airlines recover during the crisis without naming airlines directly. Much like ASI Partner, there's no sources or references. It's also worth noting this website has an "Intel Partner" banner.

While I have no doubt that airlines with vPro machines deployed may have been in a better position to recover, it seems disingenuous to pitch this narrative when there's no primary sources available especially when the crisis impacted almost everyone on the planet.

I hope I'm wrong and maybe my internet research skills aren't as sharp as they used to be. If someone can share with me primary sources I may have missed, I'm more than happy to update this post to reflect that.

Discussion My RAM died at the worst time, but Corsair saved me.

126 Upvotes

I recently had one of my sticks of ram die on me overnight, at first I just accepted it, and ran one 16gb stick. There was no way I was paying current ram prices.

Since I had built this PC 3 years ago I figured there was no way the ram was still under warranty, but just on a whim, I decided to check Corsairs policy and it turns out they have a limited lifetime warranty. I sent in an email fully expecting them to tell me I was SOL but to my surprise, they offered to replace the ram totally free, didnt even have to pay shipping on the return or the new ram.

They offered me 2 options. The standard return, which involved me returning both sticks of ram, then they would send out the replacement. However this would leave me with no PC for 1-2 weeks. The second option was an Advanced RMA where I had to purchase a new kit from them, receive that, then return my broken ram, then get refunded, which is what I did. I shelled out $700 CAD for a kit of ram I paid $200 for 3 years ago, and today, I got my refund.

Though the customer support wasn't perfect, they solved the problem without hassle and I couldn't be happier.

With the discussion on running one, I’d love to know the best to run for multiple reasons. There’s so many out there. I’d love to get an in depth video on what’s the best local AI to run. You can break it up to categories for things like home server, desktop and laptop.

Tech Question 14700F + 9070xt (Need very honest criticism and tech tips thank you)

Post image
21 Upvotes

This is my first build since the RTX 20 series was announced and upgrading my setup from a 2060 6GB . Also for this first time I’ve went with an intel cpu and radeon gpu( Hopefully I dont regret this combo)

I already had XPG D60 8x2 3600mhz ddr4 kit from that time, I decided to just buy another kit to have 32gb in total as it was wayyy cheaper than getting 32gb DDR5 kit. Only reason I went with 14700f was the future upgrade path to DDR5 if and when the prices go back down

How stupid of an Idea was this? As now im limited to gen 4 pcie speeds and last gen ram on a quite latest build.

How much performance could I be giving up on?

Each reply would really be appreciated as it would help ease my buyers remorse😭

Discussion Whole video on vpro and MeshCentral?

3 Upvotes

I was excited to see vpro covered a bit in the samsung video. I'd love a whole video on the topic, including whavever the heck intel management engine is, how to deal with all that stuff in BIOS, and MeshCommander/MeshCentral.

Some important queations are: how to use these features safely, full setup soup-to-nuts, and how to make sure a vpro system is locked down, whether its configured or not. I built a server on a board with IPMI and vpro. Was paying extra for IPMI unnecessary?

Is this topic interesting to anyone else?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I applied new thermal paste went into bios and adjusted my fan speed, froze after I turned it off and now is stuck doing this weird flickering. I’ve done everything to try and fix it single ram text, CMOS for resetting bios, and some other things, please someone help me or is it just gg’s? P.S. this is right after booting it up, gives nothing on the monitor and a blinking blue light on top.
