If anyone wants to spend a few minutes eating popcorn, r/LTT has been burning to ash all day: LINK

Brilliant move on their part, that video is probably going to rake in the views

Not brilliant at all. What little they make on that one video, they are going to lose many times over in lost floatplane subscriptions. Since this all hit the fan, LTT has lost about 2,500 subscribers and rising: LINK
At $5/month per sub, LTT has lost about $12,500 in recurring monthly revenue, or over $150,000 per year.

They've lost at least 10k subs on Floatplane. That's $50k a month.

I didn't know floatplane had even gotten that big 
I remember being a sub on vessel way back when for a buck, but whenever it was bought out I never moved over
Edit: but there's no telling how much they make from their own sponsor plug from that video. This still just screams social media drama BS

May have started out that way (though the Billet thing was dirty), but now he’s dealing with a full blown hostile work environment/sexual harassment cluster frick. This meme covers it in a nutshell:

It’s more than just an issue with their benchmarks. They negligently handled a prototype gpu cooling component from a fledging start up and did a half assed and improper review of it and told millions of their subscribers that it was a terrible product, when by all accounts, they tested it on an incorrect GPU. The start up requested the prototype back months ago after they made their video and Linus’ team replied and said they would send it back, except they didn’t and auctioned it off instead … there is more issues as well, but that is the one that stuck out the most. Their response was to play the victim and blame gamers nexus for not contacting them before going public so they could do damage control for their massive frick ups. They released a public apology video that also includes ads and sponsorships and is also YouTube monetized , they are incredibly tone deaf at the moment.
Well, if you put it that way, yeah it sounds bad. lol

Tech Jesus got called out by one of LTT's employees in some sort of speaking engagement event thing regarding data and benchmarks.
Tech Jesus didn't respond, but then Linus went on his WAN show and basically called him out.
Then Tech Jesus went scorched earth

LTTs fanboys are basically all over Steve right now.
Steve has a company that has 3 or 4 employees. He risked a whole lot to do what he did.

I think it’s 6 or 7, but yeah, very small. With that said, there’s nearly zero overlap between his supporters and Linus’. They might brigade a few videos, but I imagine patreon subs and store purchases are going to go up. Steve comes off as feeling very secure in his place in the industry these days.

Any recs on a great wireless headset? I've tried SteelSeries Arctis 1, Sony Pulse and Logitech G733 but each of them has been somewhat disappointing.

MSI leaks Intel 14th Gen Core specs, confirms it’s 3% faster on average than 13th Gen
Welcome back to the real Intel.

It’s just a refresh of 13th gen. It’s not a major architecture change and still can be used in the 1170 socket. As long as the prices stay consistent I don’t really see an issue.

No gains of any kind and you don't see an issue? 
You know AMD's refreshes still see nice gains right? And what does same socket matter if it's same performance and a dead socket?
That company is still so bad. No one is going to buy a dead socket cpu with no gains, no one.

I genuinely don’t understand why AMD seems so intent to follow Nvidia in losing the fricking plot…
AMD announces Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB and RX 7700 XT 12GB graphics cards
AMD’s internal testing puts the 7800XT 3.5% above the 4070 for $100 less, which is great in theory. The problem is that you can buy a 6800XT right now for the exact same $499 list price as the 7800XT. And the 6800XT is, drumroll please… about 3% faster than the 4070.
So the 7800XT offers the same performance and moderately better power efficiency for the same price as the 6800XT… here’s to hoping next gen from both companies is more interesting than this one, though that’s a very low bar to get over

That's why I grabbed the 4070 for $450, nothing was coming close to that price+perf until next Gen at best.

If they’re priced the same as current 13th gen… why would anyone care? It’s actually potentially really nice if it leads to decent price cuts for 13th gen CPU’s.

Again, who is going to buy a dead socket with no performance gains? Current gen or last gen.
Just hasn't worked that way for Intel since about 2nd gen Ryzen. Would argue it is significantly worse now than then as well. Any discount will just be met with AMD discounts at more performance and a 3+ year alive socket.
But I'm sure AMD is ecstatic. Big dub for them again.

FSR3 looking really good!

In terms of fluidity and clarity, FSR 3 looked a match for DLSS 3 - a view shared by Alex, Rich and John, who were all present to see the demos in person. A great start for FSR 3.
