Linus Tech Tips

This isn't just the obvious 'adult entertainment' content like you might think, things like Reddit posts marked nsfw, discord channels marked nsfw etc are now all completely inaccessible on UK internet, unless you sign up for an account and submit to suppling the platform with a photo of your face or ID. This law will technically also apply to platforms like Steam which (I guess until recently) host games rated 18+.

And obviously it can all be circumvented immediately by using a VPN, making the whole endeavour completely pointless.

Message to Linus and the team: STOP PUTTING VASELINE IN MOTHERBOARD SOCKETS! (old.reddit.com)

First off want to say I thoroughly enjoy the "bad cooling ideas" series and the overclocking stuff.

But watching ya'll insulate the motherboards with Vaseline for the socket hurts to watch.

Speaking for the XOC community who's been doing this thing for 2 decades plus. It's probably caused ya'll more harm than good. Even with the ILM applying a ton of mounting pressure, Vaseline and other finger greases etc especially on modern CPUs/RAM contacts, due to the signal integrity they run at can cause major instability even at JEDEC.

Living in a 80%+ high humidity environment, you don't need vas in the socket. Once you go sub zero the condensation you do have to look out for is around the socket, not the socket itself. Even with the CPU dumping tons of heat.

Hope to see more video with crazy cooling stuff, and hopefully less Vaseline. ;D

The newest exclusive is locked for me, asks me to upgrade to watch it. Or is it time gated for some reason?

ShortCircuit request: when showcasing laptops, include their fit with the commuter and regular backpacks (old.reddit.com)

As the title says, I'd love for them to have both (or just the commuter) backpacks on set for laptop showcases.

It would prevent scenarios like the MBP 16-inch fiasco where we didn't know until we had both products in hand if the laptop would fit inside or not.

It's also a natural hook for lttstore.com
