Didnt we cancel this loser?
You'd have to hope for him to have committed an actual crime to be canceled, so good luck.
Serious hardware people don't watch LTT.
Oh yeah? And what makes you a ~serious~ hardware person?
serious hardware people don't post in this subreddit.
Baseless hate, fun
very interesting subject ruined by Linus shenanigans and his 4 thousands ads for worthless merch.
SponsorBlock exists solely for that
Now if only science could invent a way to not give away a view statistic
They did, it's called youtube-dl
Unsubscribe button worked for me
You could have left it at merch, I have the backpack and screwdriver and would call them the opposite of worthless. Screwdriver sees routine use on my car and building for friends, and the backpack goes everywhere with me, and often hauls my tools and multiple laptops.
I understand but liking ads, I block them as well, but at least have a good reason to disparage them, or be honest.
I also have the screwdriver so I guess his methods. but now that he has multiple decent products he has too shoehorn every item on every single video and as the catalog expands he expends more and more time on the item in addition to the video sponsor. it was fine when it was a single hoodie but now is hoodies, underwear, screwdriver, backpack, water bottle, desk pads, etc. like hell one time at the beginning of the video used to be tolerable but now it's just absurd.
Trash content for clicks. Continuing to take LTT less and less seriously.
Will still get million views, not that I like it 🙄
LTT is entertainment media, there's absolutely no reason to watch them unless it's for fun, don't use them to learn anything.
It would be like watching Top Gear to get accurate car reviews.
Comparing them to Top Gear is insulting to Top Gear.
Most people don't seem to agree. Lot of apologists in this thread.
taobao(mainland china) and taobao(worldwide) are 2 completely different things, imo taobao(worldwide) is just another aliexpress
Just another? Taobao is the mainland version, aliexpress the international. Both are the same company, alibaba.
You can select worldwide in a dropdown menu on Taobao and it'll take you to it
The china version of aliexpress is 1688. Taobao has an international version as well, though I don’t see the point tbh.
Afaik you need to set up a separate storefront on AliExpress catering to international buyers, but there's no such requirements for Taobao even on the "international" website. It's just set up as a convenience for people browsing the site from overseas, and also provides support for foreign currency payments, but other than that it's up to the seller to manage everything.
The whole video feels like a vehicle to talk about the salvage-chipset motherboard market in China, which is genuinely very fascinating. They're all over AliExpress, usually sold as a platform kit with a 6-10 core Xeon and 16-32GB of quad-channel RAM (DDR3 or 4 depending on the CPU gen) for around $150-200. This can legitimately be a fairly powerful setup once paired with a modern GPU.
Also, the fact that Russian enthusiast forums have thousands of pages of research and custom software for these boards is somehow not surprising whatsoever. Russia is full of competent technicians, but they also don't have a lot of money, so extracting every possible drop of value out of cheap hardware only makes sense.
Phils Computer Lab has a much more extensive series of videos about all the topics.
for around $150-200
That's a bad deal. You can get a Ryzen 5 5500 and a 450 or 520 motherboard for $160-170
It includes RAM.
X99 is good step up for anyone looking to make a step up from consumer hardware for building out the next level of Homelab/NAS/VM/Media server.
I'm still runnign a 5820k although overclocked. I had thought about upgrading to a i7-6950X just for fun, they are cheap now but I woudl think almost any modern CPU is going to be better. A 7800X3D isn't much more expensive then a second hand one anyway.
But do be aware that by building your NAS / homelab around x99 instead of OEM desktop Skylake, you are spending quite a lot of electricity to buy experience with high-port-count platforms.
Yeah I used to have a Xeon build similar to what you described and I could get some fairly modern games running fine on ddr3 (though I was limited to a gt730 as a gpu because I didn’t have the cash to buy a gpu)
How many ads are in this video omg.
Pretty random from LTT considering so many channels have done similar videos in the past, LTT may have even done one.
Fun fact: One of the earliest places to discuss hacked / salvaged server parts on Tieba in the Chinese community is named after PIII Tualatin
