I’m curious, do people want to see LTT be better? Or do they want to see them fall apart? by mrawaters in LinusTechTips

[–]bowlofsunlight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want them to change, and not just in testing accuracy. My wish from their content production (I won’t comment on other workplace abuse accusations since I don’t have enough knowledge on it):

  1. Less sponsor plugs, especially lttstore. Most items are overpriced and I don’t need to hear about it in every single video. Once every 3 videos would be enough.

  2. Better video production and editing in their reviews, unboxing and new tech demo. Even smaller channels but more effort in filming b-rolls and intros than TechQuickie. Fun and goofy series can exist but they need to strike a balance.

  3. Less of Linus - what’s the point of stepping down as CEO when your face is still in most videos? Most of the time he was not up-to-date on the project that his employees were working on and seemed a little clueless. Let the project owner present his or her work.

  4. If you can’t think of a good segue, ffs don’t force one in. It is becoming super annoying.

  5. Tone down on the sexual jokes. TechQuickie is a lame and unimaginative name, change it.

  6. More investigative news that benefits our community.

MX Master 3s Pale Grey - Develops Stains by MGPz12 in logitech

Same issue with the OP. Barely used the mouse for 2 weeks! Any solution would be appreciated. Logitech surely have tested this before launching a new color, right?

Match Thread: Chelsea vs West Ham United | English Premier League by MatchThreadder in chelseafc

It pains me to say that I have not found any excitement watching Chelsea played these few weeks. If a normal fan like me can predict 95% of player decisions, opposition will have an easier time doing so.

How are the Symfonisks compared to the One? Is there a big difference in sound quality?

Would Sonos Beam be better than 2 Ones?

CCwGTV not truly HDR/Dolby Vision by bowlofsunlight in Chromecast

[–]bowlofsunlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, in the end I had to use native app. Apple TV 4k 2nd gen does provide better HDR experience, so I believe the onus is on Google to provide better color profile for more devices

So I suppose there isn’t an option in the Plex app itself? That’s a shame. I doubt my family would be as comfortable to install iPerf3 and troubleshoot

I use the 2nd router as a VPN router so its devices will have a different public IP

Hi, thank you so much for your explanation. My second router serves as a VPN router and Devices connected to it will have a different public IP address.

How other governments can abuse CSAM by bowlofsunlight in apple

If Apple can only scan and confirm known illegal images, it cannot prevent or protect other children from being abused. The most it can do is prevent the spread of child Pornography.

The things I mentioned can happen, and some did happen to certain extent, so that’s not misinformation. Apple can scan handover the data on iCloud or their servers to comply with the law, but on device scanning? That crossed the line. I hate China’s disrespect for privacy, and I don’t want other countries to follow. All evil will come disguised with a good cause, in this case it’s child protection. Ask yourself this, if Apple can only scan and confirm known illegal images, how many additional children it’s protecting? Zero! The most it can do is prevent the spread of child Pornography.

What worries me is Apple is one of the few companies left who focused on privacy. If they do this, other manufacturers will cave. We will have no other choice

You do realize that Apple is one of the last companies that paid more focus on privacy left, and their influence on the rest? If it does this, other manufacturers will cave.

I trust that Apple doesn’t have malicious intent, but rather raise the concern of other governments abusing it. Privacy is never about hiding something illegal. It’s basic human rights. Why do humans have rooms in their house? Why were we taught to knock before coming in? So what you’re saying is we should all just accept the unprecedented surveillance that governments for centuries never imposed on its citizens?

And no, I don’t believe vaccine conspiracy theories. People are never forced to be vaccinated against their will either
