[QUOTE=RoboChimp;52628762]I think that's the best chroma key Linus has ever done, must be those new RED cameras.[/QUOTE] I thought you said it was the best chroma key ever done, and I had the strangest look on my face. I can't even remember the last time they did a key.

Ignoring for the second the obnoxiousness of the content matter, the latest Mitchie M video has me thinking: [video=youtube;AqyCNIllQ7o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqyCNIllQ7o[/video] Are designers slowly swinging back over to maximalism again? I have to say I don't mind the minimalist-maximalism of the kawaii or material design paradigm, but Android O's shitty emojis and things like Nidhogg 2 got me worried.

So the least supported edge on my EVGA 1080 Ti GPU card is kinda bending down due to the weight of the graphics card. Is this a concern? It's properly mounted on the PCI-E lane, and the bracket on the desktop case so I'd assume there isn't much I can do about it.

Backblaze just posted Q2's HDD stats, and looks like some of Seagate's drives are as cancer as ever [img]https://www.backblaze.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/blog-quarterly-Q2-2017.jpg[/img] [URL="https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-stats-q2-2017/"]Source[/URL]

No MTBF or other weighted data, completely useless table.

I'm not sure I understand the "Failure Rate" stat? 18 out of 500+ drives failed, how does 30% relate to that? [editline]30th August 2017[/editline] Also of note, this really only proves they have a ~1% failure rate when you cram 60 of the cheapest ones you can find into a 4U rack and run them 24/7 I've never particularly held Backblaze stats in high regard :v:

No idea where your figure of 18 failures comes from because it's not in either graph so I'll use one that is. So for the ST4000DM001, 400 drives, 5998 days, 5 failures. 5998 / 400 gets us 14.995 days per drive. 365 / 14.995 gets us a 24.341447149049683227742580860287th of a year per drive. 400 / 5 gets us a 1.25% failure rate after 14.995 days, multiply by the fraction of a year and we get 30.426808936312104034678226075359%

If you could pick between playing games on a 1440p IPS monitor vs a 1080p TN 144hz monitor, which one would you pick? I bought myself the AOC Q2577PWQ (1440p IPS) to replace my aging third monitor (BenQ T2200HD) and the colors on it are amazing compared to my primary display, the BenQ XL2411Z (TN 144hz). I've adjusted the settings on it according to pcmonitors.info for supposedly the best color accuracy as far as this monitor goes but the difference is still night and day between this and the new one. Playing games on this now with this fancy IPS next to it makes everything feel so washed out and non-immersive that I've begun considering to sacrifice 144hz for the higher res and better colors. In the end, I'll probably buy a 1440p IPS 144hz display but that's outside my budget for now.

Is temperature the only thing I have to really worry about in an overclock? I'm mining with NiceHash on university power and managed to go from 299 H/s to 435 H/s on my 1070 by bumping the voltage up to 1081 mV, +150 Mhz on the vcore and +400 Mhz on the memory. The temperature isn't budging past 50 C. As long as temps are kept low things should be okay, right?

Oh my god they changed the youtube ui It's terrible At least there's a dark mode

I love how this design has been available for months and people act all surprised, only thing that actually changed is the logo.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52630340]I love how this design has been available for months and people act all surprised, only thing that actually changed is the logo.[/QUOTE] It hasn't hit me yet (Except the logo) and I'm thankful. Because Youtube+'s replacement isn't fully ready just yet.

I like the dark mode, just sucks that playlists got broken.

Really fucking great colours and contrast, some minor response time issues with blurring over greys but it's a good monitor overall. The freesync support is balls though.

Just have to ignore the overdrive that causes some artifacts.

[I]Are you kidding me[/I] [I]guess what my office just upgraded its APs to fuckit[/I] I'm just going to be straight with the sales rep. Company just got a bunch of em and I wanted one too.

Hmm Cisco Merakis are pretty cheap on ebay...

Quantum dot is nice, but it's basically just a backlight technology, making the CRI/Spectrum of the light much more distributed and even. Nothing quite like OLED yet, though Samsung is trying.

Disturbing lack of OLED monitors.
