Linus is a worker.

I gained so much respect for him with the Louis situation.

He's progressed so much since I stopped watching around 5 years ago. It's pretty crazy

Yes, he tries to speak too deliberately because he has a nerd lisp.

Yeah, Alan was great. I don't think I've ever seen anything as in-depth his SDD/HDD reviews. #blessedtohavebeenthere

Yeah no one else did it.

He literally found the whole 830/840 Samsung issue.

All those known issues and fixes came from him.

Too bad him and Ryan are Intel shills now. Very unfortunate for consumers.

Intel sucked up a lot of good reviewers.

Like HardForums owner.

HardForums dead
OCN dead (sort of)

Not many good forums anymore. Nothing like the quality of posters we used to have on OCN. That place was a wealth of knowledge.

One good thing Anand of AnandTech is back from Apple. He left to be an Apple employee but came back almost two years ago. They are putting out good content again.

Youtube killed forums and the general socialization of the OC community. Just my personal opinion.


Also applicable to this thread and what it was and had to offer.

Yep.

Made ppl generally dumber. The new comers know nothing about CS. I mean I barely do, but have a solid working knowledge.

They are missing that with these YouTube videos.

Everyone is just like an "enduser" now. They have no clue how it actually works.

Not to take away from the discussion, but I’m spending a few weeks in Pittsburgh for the holidays and I’m looking for a decent game to play during my down time.

Is Fallen Order worth it?

I’ve been wanting a first person single player only SW game for a while, but I’m hesitant on trusting anything that EA makes now.

Fallen Order is fun at first but becomes very repetative. Still enjoyable if you are a SW fan. Esp if you read the novels and comics.

I'm jelly of you spending the holidays in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is an awesome city. Even better during the holidays.

Edt: Going to a game?

I’m flying up there Sunday. Mainly spending time with family. I probably won’t be able to go to the Bills game though. I’m a little disappointed that’s the last home game of the year. Wish there would have been 1 more I could’ve went too.

And yeah, Pittsburgh is an awesome place to be during the holidays.

I was up there last year too. We got very lucky with the weather because it was really nice. Anticipating a lot more snow this year though.

Do locals do the downtown exhibits every year?

I had so much fun for Christmas in DT Pittsburgh.

I've reached a turning point in my life. I bought a Windows activation key for the time ever.
