My pc is like 5 feet away from me on an elevated ventilated pedestal, zero RGB. theres zero way a drink could touch my PC. I can see this happening to a lot of reddit fags since they like to let their cats climb all over their desk and rest on the top of their cases.
I just realised I used PC as a pejorative and it really referred to monitor and mouse. My PC box is mounted to the bottom of the desk with a couple brackets so it doesn't get in the way of me or the cat.
Aparently the sponsor of this video(Epomaker) is also a scummy and shady company
newegg really is crate & barrel for young men, guys whose idea of a hobby is just buying tech they don't need and sticking it on a shelf might as well be the male version of buying tons of throw pillows and macrame wall hangers and putting them all over the house.
Why on earth would anyone buy one of these dumbass products? Apart from being a halo product to attract sweaty unwashed neckbeards (imagine the smell) at conventions, what's the point?
Apparently some retards buy them? This thing is just a rip off of the acer "thronos" chair from a few years back that ran $20k(and eventually they made one without the motor for 14k). I assume the market is somehow split between morons who have won the lottery/received an inheritance/whatever and dumb companies wasting money on crap like this for convention booths.
In a purely theoretical world, its a setpiece computer for a rich mans home. In any practical world, the kind of person who has both the money and social connections to benefit from having a setpiece in his home to strike up conversation is unlikely to actually be interested in making it a weird battlestation as opposed to something more classical like a piano.
Yeah not a chance anyone interested in a simpit would buy anything like this. It reminds me of stupid rich nerd shit as it's basically just the "battle station" that the nerd had in Grandma's Boy. Hollywood-hacker-chic? I dunno. Even if this thing is 3 grand, you can get yourself a much better chair and proper desk for under 3 grand even including herman miller, steelcase, whatever.
That might've been true in the 80s, but today there are tons of software nerds who blew straight through academia without developing the slightest appreciation for anything outside the little cultural bubble they've maintained since they were 12 and now make a ton of money and spend it exclusively on gaudy shit. That said this thing probably won't sell because it doesn't have a Marvel logo on it.
I have friends like that. While I took the short straw on comp uni, I have friends who makes 6+ figures and live from paycheck to paycheck and don't see anything wrong with it
At roughly eleven Billion transistors for that cpu, a 0.25% deviation rate is frankly remarkable, not terrible. At that point your likely contending with unironically quantum bullshit effects and other "beyond the reasonable grasp to ever address" quirks of nanoscale engineering, across billions of failure points - give or take a few atoms here or there over that entire count and it can be significant. How is it that Linus, in his pursuit of the lab, consistently and universally proves himself more and more ignorant to the hardware that he claims he's going to have the expertise to rate at a industry certified level? I get that he doesn't have to know it personally, but does he not ever talk to any of these folks he has?
If you actually watched the video you'll know that the variance was 4%, which is a lot for a product that should be identical. Only through binning did they get that down to 0.25. You disingenuous retard.
