- My New TV Sucks Now...E7
My New TV Sucks Now...I won't be the only one in North America with the 115" TCL TV for long, but even worse than that is that HiSense has made a 110" TV that has double the brightness, and double the dimming zones. On the bright side maybe these means we get to have more videos? - This WAS under NDA... Until I Called in a FavorE8
This WAS under NDA... Until I Called in a FavorIntel showered us the goods on probably the single thing I'm most excited about from CES 2024, and it's...Thunderbolt? Seriously, this is so cool. Not only that, but Wi-Fi 7 seems like it will actually be an increase that actually matters to regular people- as well as niche corner-case weridos like me lol - AMD says these are the same... We DISAGREE.E17
AMD says these are the same... We DISAGREE.Do you really know if your CPU is performing the same as the ones we review? We don’t know. But we know that if we want to increase our testing capacity, we need to PARALLELIZE. But that means we need nearly identical test benches. And trying to make that happen sent us down a far deeper rabbit hole than we could have anticipated. - My network is bigger than yours ;)E18
My network is bigger than yours ;)We have a TON of infrastructure and networking upgrades in the pipeline, but the first step was to both upgrade and correct some serious flaws in our networking. As is, a single failure could bring down our entire network for all three buildings. Today we fix that by building out a redundant high availability core switching setup with the help of Dell EMC's S5232F-ON 32 Port 100G switches, and a bunch of gear from InfiniteCables, Ubiquiti, and Hammond Manufacturing! - How to set up a PC, the last guide you'll ever need!E26
How to set up a PC, the last guide you'll ever need!Original Title: How to set up your new PC in 30 minutes Before you game, work, or watch on your new PC, there are some important things to ensure your CPU, GPU, RAM, and more are all working the way they’re intended. Good news: It’s easy when you know how! - Noob vs Pro PC Build ChallengeE29
Noob vs Pro PC Build ChallengeBuilding your first computer is hard. Every component, from CPU to GPU, is one wrong move away from being dead. That’s why we make our guides – to help you assembl e your new gaming rig painlessly. Whether you’re a total noob or a seasoned pro, you are going to love watching us compete fairly to see who is the best – unless L inus cheats… - The ALL LOGITECH Gaming SetupE30
The ALL LOGITECH Gaming SetupLogitech makes a lot of computer peripherals. From keyboards for your mom, to keyboards for your gamer bros, if there is a category of product that lives on your d esk, Logitech probably has their hat in the ring. And after creating some iconic pieces of kit, like the Logitech G Pro Superlight, or the MX Master line-up of pro ducts, it's no wonder they're a top brand in a space crowded with competitors like Corsair, Razer, Cooler Master, and many more. But is it all good? We build a ful l gaming setup using only Logitech products to find out. - Notice Anything Weird?E34
Notice Anything Weird?We were SHOCKED to spot high end gaming peripherals at the auto parts store, but things aren’t always what they seem. Mice, Keyboards, Headsets and Speakers. ALL RGB! These look like Razer but truthfully, you’d be k-razer to buy them from the Hardware and Auto store like we did. Except for one budget device that costs less than $10 that is actually pretty okay. - My Fan is LONGER than YOUR fanE41
My Fan is LONGER than YOUR fanSmall Form Factor cases are pushing the boundaries of how much computing power can fit in a tiny chassis. From enclosures like the Formd T1, SSUPD Meshlicious, DanCase C4-SFX, and Fractal Terra, there is no shortage of small cases that can accommodate big power. But can they do it with just one wacky long fan? Probably not. The Meshless AIO SFF by Meshless Design claims a SINGLE crossflow fan (AKA tangential fan) can cool a 4090 and an i9-14900k. Join us as we build in this crazy little case. - I’m Really Good at Building Computers – Reacting to our Best PCsE43
I’m Really Good at Building Computers – Reacting to our Best PCsLTT has built a LOT of PCs over the years and – surprisingly – not all of them were jank messes of questionable watercooling and hair-brained GPU mounting techniques. But which ones were the “Best of the Best?” We asked you, the audience, to select a few, and y’all sure did deliver. - I Will Never Watercool Again – Water Cooling Maintenance GuideE45
I Will Never Watercool Again – Water Cooling Maintenance GuideTRUST ME – you don’t need to water cool your next PC for a great gaming experience. But it might be too late for you, and we’re here to help you clean and maintain your loop to increase the longevity and performance of your pump, blocks and radiators. Whether it’s an AIO, a pre-blocked GPU or something totally custom – we have you covered in this video. - This Server CANNOT Lose Data…E52
This Server CANNOT Lose Data…We’ve gone through many evolutions of our main video editing server Whonnock, but they’ve all shared a similar problem - there is only one of them. Today, we change that b y deploying a high availability storage cluster powered by Supermicro’s GrandTwin multi node servers and Weka, a distributed NVMe-first clustered file system. It’s fast… v ery, very fast. - I Made a Wifi Cracking VanE53
I Made a Wifi Cracking VanDid you know that you can get the internet wirelessly now? Well, you can, and while it might be amazing, it comes with a certain level of risk, especially if you are using a simple password and happen to run afoul a person with a van full of RTX 4090s. Just how fast can a nefarious van dweller with a bottomless budget gain access to your precious shared network drive? The answer might shock you. Big shout out to Comino for letting us borrow this absolute leaf blower of a server, it's been so much fun to play with. - I Need a Home Theater PC... NOW! - NVIDIA RTX HDRE56
I Need a Home Theater PC... NOW! - NVIDIA RTX HDRNVIDIA's latest feature allows you to watch SDR content in HDR, like old movies and shows that never got remastered. But upmapping isn't always easy, so have they gotten it right? Come check out RTX Video HDR and see for yourself. - Paying for Cloud Storage is StupidE57
Paying for Cloud Storage is StupidIf you are tired for paying for Cloud Storage like Google Drive or ICloud? Then we found the NAS Device for you! This tiny computer is so small it can fit in your pocket and have over 30TB of SSD Storage. For under $100 you can have a powerful ARM based board to call youre own! - We Built a PC That PUNISHES the Gamer – feat. LudwigE61
We Built a PC That PUNISHES the Gamer – feat. LudwigLudwig is a popular streamer and Youtuber that is known for a lot of things, not least of which is his love of bidets and occasional playthroughs of video games like Minecraft. But what kind of shenanigans can we subject Bidet Bro to that he wouldn’t have already experienced in his Chess Boxing events or Mr Beast Island? How about a computer that makes Minecraft a punishing experience? I just hope he doesn’t hate us too much after this… Here’s the source code for the ESP32 if you want to do something similar and have the knowhow: https://pastebin.com/gZXbA2fq - I Can’t Believe These are Real - Reacting to Ridiculous PCs on CraigslistE62
I Can’t Believe These are Real - Reacting to Ridiculous PCs on CraigslistWe’ve all seen ads for gaming PCs or hardware that just seem too wild to be real. “No Low ballers! I know what I got!” when all they’ve got is a pile of e-waste. We collected a bunch of ridiculous listings and watched our heroes slowly lose their minds… - How to Build a PC, the last guide you’ll ever need! (2024 Update)E63

Well Today Linus investigates some of the weirdest Linux ISO’s we have come across! Warning, we probably dont pick your favorite Distro, so let us know which one we should look at next! - The North Korean Gaming ConsoleE65
The North Korean Gaming ConsoleNorth Korea made a Wii clone console. North Korea has video games. I have so many questions. What are these consoles? Who made them? What games do they have? When compared to games from the rest of the world, are DPRK gamers getting titles that are Kim Jong Unique or are these games just same same but different? Do they have a game where you play as a plastic bag floating through the wind? So many questions! - The Humble PCE71
The Humble PCAll gaming computers have started looking the same. So boring, not humble, and r/battlestations has become saturated. NOT TODAY! Linus and Elijah bought a “Humble” computer case and decided to build a computer that even Kendrick Lamar would be proud of! There's water-cooling, Gold fittings, and of course humility. - I had no idea SHEIN sold PC parts…E72
I had no idea SHEIN sold PC parts…You know – and probably HATE – Shein. They’ve built a reputation for Low Quality Clothes and Questionable business practices. But they’ve become a 3rd party marketplace, like Aliexpress, Temu or Wish – and they now sell COMPUTER PARTS. But don’t buy them – or anything else from Shein for that matter. Watch the video and find out why. - I shouldn’t have kept the $1,000,000 computerE76
I shouldn’t have kept the $1,000,000 computerWe still have the $1,000,000 Computer, a cluster of over a petabyte of NVMe storage that can run at speeds in excess of 100GB/s! The problem is, it draws a RIDICULOUS amount of power, and subsequently generates a RIDICULOUS amount of heat… so much that its overwhelming the AC in our server room. Today we fix that… at least we hope. - The Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide Gaming SetupE78
The Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide Gaming SetupThe 86" LG Ultra Stretch Digital Signage Display has an aspect ratio of 58:9, making it relatively wider than just about any other display we've tried to game on. How well does it game? The answer is more interesting than you might think, and depends much more on how the game was made than when. - Here's why Chrome is SLOW (It's NOT your RAM)E80
Here's why Chrome is SLOW (It's NOT your RAM)Google Chrome isn't as good as it used to be. While it was a great replacement for Internet Explorer and Firefox and Safari, but as it's become the dominant browser, it seems like it ain't quite how it used to be. And now that browsers like Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera GX and Vivaldi have all switched to run on Chromium, we decided to get to the bottom of those performance woes. - I was too poor to afford thisE83
I was too poor to afford thisSometimes PC DREAMS DO become reality! We’ve assembled high-end gaming parts of years past to build our top tier fantasy retro desktop rig. But there are a more than a few hiccups, and maybe our Dreams will transform into nightmares. Y2K more like WHY-2K? Either way, the 2001 Dream Machine from Maximum PC is here. - I Bought 6 PC “Speed Up” Tools to See if They WorkE86
I Bought 6 PC “Speed Up” Tools to See if They WorkEveryone wants their computer to be running in the best condition possible, but they dont want to re install windows.

The only way to find out was to hand over our credit card, and get Labs to test them! - Dare Me to Take This "Laptop" to Starbucks?E87
Dare Me to Take This "Laptop" to Starbucks?Have you ever thought "Laptops sure are great, but I wish they had 3 monitors, desktop components, and weighed 20 times as much"? Good news! With the MaCase B43 chassis your PC can go from a portable, reasonably powered slate that lives in your backpack to a monstrously huge Frankenstein machine capable of running several instances of Crysis. This thing games so hard you'll totally forget about the disc you slipped in your back while trying to get it up onto the table. - Why it Was Almost Impossible to Put a Computer in SpaceE89
Why it Was Almost Impossible to Put a Computer in SpaceIt’s really hard to put a computer into space… so hard in fact that laptops on the international space station are treated as effectively disposable. So when the folks at HPE wanted to put a SERVER on the ISS, people were a bit skeptical… and it turned out even with the help of KIOXIA’s fast and reliable storage devices, to be harder than they thought. - The Most Awkward Upgrade….

Hey Siri, I’m Giving You A Second ChanceWhile most of these updates and features for iPad OS 18, iOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia aren't exactly new, it was pretty cool seeing them at Apple's 2024 WWDC event.

Will Tim Cook FINALLY find a way to sell more Vision Pros? - The Ultimate Gamer Camper VanE102

I only paid $1500 for this HUGE TVEveryone knows, big TVs are EXPENSIVE. At least, that's what Samsung and LG and Sony want you to think. According to TCL, big TV's don't have to be expensive. We g ot this 98" TV open box from Best Buy for less than $1500 bucks. But what's the catch? Is it OLED? Is it VA? Is it made out of several smaller TV's that no one wan ts?

I thought this product was DOOMED 10 years agoAfter a long time in development, the VR treadmill dubbed the Virtuix Omni One has finally made its way to market. But with the future of VR being as uncertain as it is, can a product like this survive without being backed from the likes of Meta (makers of the Quest 3 and Quest 3S) or Apple (makers of The Vision Pro)? While it comes with a Pico 4E headset, at $2600 bucks, the jury is still out on whether the Virtuix Omni One is the future of immersion. - I Tried Your Darkest PC FantasiesE171
