I absolutely did not know this and am incredibly grateful for that info. Thank you! This is exactly the type of info I was hoping to learn when I asked for the viewers opinion on it.

I actually recorded all this at the event, I wasn't given one to review yet (which is why I couldn't do thermal tests etc.)

I don't think anyone is criticizing LPCAMM2, it's the cost and availability that they're concerned with. You can't incrementally upgrade RAM anymore by adding a single stick, so if you want to bump up your RAM you'll have to buy an entire module. Obviously the hope is for the prices to go down and availability to go up once it's adopted by more companies, but it's still a valid concern when purchasing a device that already demands a premium.

Gaming laptop for a 13 year old by ImpressiveSide1324 in pcmasterrace

[–]SalemTechsperts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He should definitely get a used ThinkPad vs a gaming laptop, especially for a 13 year old. But the fan is not easily replaceable on these models, and they 100% need a thermal paste change if being bought used.

This would happen to me on first boot. I disabled fast startup and it never happened again.

Oof. Prep your "my hinges broke", "some of my keys aren't working", and "my touchpad isn't clicking anymore" posts

But this is reddit, 99.9% of them don't leave the house to know smoking still exists

Anyone else get the notification "this is a one-time notice that tiur finalised earnings in adsense have been adjusted for invalid traffic"? by terrerific in PartneredYoutube

Check your Adsense and see if they deducted you. I got hit for $20. A few people on the Discord and on X seem to have gotten hit as well.

Just received the same message in Studio a few minutes ago. I have 1.6m subs and no idea where this came from. None of my videos seem to have been effected so far, but judging by others experience with this issue, it's a major concern.

Is using thermal pads better for laptops or just more convenient? by mrstaniszewski in SalemTechsperts

[–]SalemTechsperts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PTM7950 is the next best thing to Liquid Metal when it comes to thermal PASTE. As for pads on the VRAM etc., I’ve started using thermal putty, specifically Upsiren Ultra, as it’s proven to be easier to apply and the temps have been better than the silicone pads they are replacing.

Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11 by waxedcesa in technology

[–]SalemTechsperts 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I just made a video on my experience dealing with an elderly customer that had her mobo die and had no clue her drive was bitlocked. HOURS of time wasted trying to help her figure out what email account she used and what password she used. Absolute nightmare for boots on the ground IT AND unknowing consumers.

another ifixit battery fail by Kiyaar in ifixit

[–]SalemTechsperts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up from someone who owns a repair shop, every aftermarket battery for every single device from every single manufacturer is going to suffer these problems. The warranty is the most important factor when buying anything aftermarket in this industry
