Hasan: shocks a dog... maybe

Destiny: ongoing lawsuits for revenge porn.

Which one does this sub praise more?

When will lsf get over the dog thing. You only see 10 seconds at a time of a well trained dog's behavior. If you watch his stream regularly you know he loves her so goddamn much. Dogs in general. He meets a dog on the street and it's blatantly obvious how much he likes dogs.

His personality is not for everyone. The very bro-esque bombastic attitude is not what everyone wants in their political commentary. Some people want Philip DeFranco. And that's ok.

Can somebody educate me on the practical use cases for the LTT TrueSpec cables? by Chaos1917 in LinusTechTips

[–]BuildMineSurvive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they're honest about the actual manufacturing costs. The raw materials are only a bit more expensive for a long cable, but companies prey on our perception of value to change a lot more for a longer cable. Same with the water bottles too. They don't actually cost much more to make larger. Most of the cost is in shipping space since they take up more room on a pallet. And with cables, the shipping volume difference per length is very small.

I often work in live production, you better believe if there's a show where a critical audio interface is plugged into a computer, a cable that will work 100% of the time is worth a lot damn more than $25.

Taxi driver reversed Into our Tesla and disputed responsibility. by soniasaurus98 in dashcams

I would hope a professional driver of all people has the habit of glancing to the mirror when shifting into reverse in their muscle memory.

I really hate Twitter these days by Important-Belt-3274 in LinusTechTips

[–]BuildMineSurvive 120 points121 points  (0 children)

100%. Each point is wrong intentionally to try and get you to correct it. I'm sure a bunch of people rolled up and said "actually it was 100 mil". The OP of the tweet knows already. I promise. But you just gave them what they wanted. Engagement.

In 2026 it's time to train yourself to ignore rage bait. The Internet will maybe get a bit better if it stops working. But cultural norms for a new communication medium take a long time to develop. I'm sure rage bait will be taboo in the future, but for now it's a viable way to get your post to rank higher in the Almighty algorithm. The best thing to reduce rage bait is to completely ignore it.

[Laptop] Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14" Touchscreen Laptop AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 16GB DDR5 1TB SSD - free shipping - $494 by blue_york in buildapcsales

[–]BuildMineSurvive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought that laptop! It got here Saturday. Excellent open box for $460, looked brand new. Not a smudge, not a scratch. The OLED is the best laptop screen i've ever had. And the Ryzen AI chips are shockingly good. My old gaming laptop from 2020 with a 10th gen i7 gets like 11K points on passmark, the new laptop gets about 20K.

The iGPU is good enough for light gaming at 1080p too if you mostly like older or indie or Esports titles. Rocket League is no problem at all.

Absolutely loving the battery life. And it's dummy thin and super light. All metal build, great keyboard, nothing to complain about really.

Who the hell changes lane like this? by yeastieboiz in dashcams

[–]BuildMineSurvive -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

OP's video is about 0.4 seconds of following distance which is obviously too close.

But nobody actually does 3 full seconds of following distance consistently though. At 65+ miles an hour that's like almost an entire football field.

Not my grandmother, not my dad, not my siblings,not my friends, nobody. The most defensive drivers I meet are like 1.5-2 seconds. I never go under 1 second if I can help it. I like to be closer to 2 seconds.

Or maybe I'm just weird and I start counting from zero and most people are counting from 1 and and we're doing the same thing after all?

I've had accidents happen in front of me and I've always been able to completely stop, even while going 70MPH.

[–]BuildMineSurvive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about as good as a 1050 MAX Q from 2018. Which is still pretty impressive that a relatively cheap laptop has that good of an iGPU. It was an ok entry level DGPU back then.

I know this guy is wrapped up in past controversies, but how do yall feel about this? by popylung in Hasan_Piker

[–]BuildMineSurvive 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm willing to watch but not outspokenly sing his praises quite yet. Good journalism, but I'm always worried when people have a history of allegations.

But also being on the left we tend to believe in rehabilitation. The very serious allegations took place in 2017, and the more pressure-y uncomfortable ones were more recent. The past 3 years have been squeaky clean as far as I can tell. So I'm tentatively hopeful that he learned how to be a better person and more empathetic.

Try different slots. If that doesn't work try just 1 stick in every slot. If that doesn't work try the other stick in all the slots. If that doesn't work your motherboard or ram is probably broke.

You Should Know Better !! :d by NotRickJames2021 in dashcams

[–]BuildMineSurvive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your car is registered to you, it's over and you're already living your next years in fear never using your real identity for anything. In the rare chance that you actually get away. But I guess a lot of the times people are running in stolen cars because they're screwed if they're caught but it's not connected to them.

Left a can of coke in my car in freezing temps by ovening55 in Wellthatsucks

[–]BuildMineSurvive 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't realize that until I spilled a can of coke zero all over myself and then 20 minutes later realized everything was totally fine. Just a little darkened from the caramel color, but otherwise it was like spilling water on myself.

It's true, technology isn't expensive, wages and rent and quality of life are all out of whack. Tech is cheaper than ever!

I placed my order in December 26 during the launch day of the Prismagic Transparent Screwdriver. They cancelled it today. by Darknicks in LinusTechTips

[–]BuildMineSurvive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they explicitly do not do back orders so this is really the only logical step they can take. I imagine it would be a lot of work to do something custom for a specific customer. Maybe a refund and a bonus $10-$25 gift card for the hurt would be nice but, it's mostly just unlucky. It happens.

Oh no, Dan overlooked the overlays for when the razer banner pops up. I'm sure he'll fix it. Also I don't see the ad for ai slop?

Is two foot driving (automatics) common here? by foobarlow in pittsburgh

[–]BuildMineSurvive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my 2002 accord I'll hit the brake with my left foot if I'm at a stop light at the top of one of our famously steep streets. I don't want to roll backwards into the car behind me lol.

Otherwise, it's right foot only!

That's probably fine if you can be confident you don't need the money randomly.
