What good is a country that censors what citizens see? Doesn't one side claim to be a bastion of freedom? It goes both ways. Let's see how it plays out. Starting to feel like more of a "we can't lose big tech" or "we don't want to lose our political positions" than anything else. 🤷  The AP article saying Biden will not take action in his term. Finally a bit of common sense. See the latest news here:  https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-trump-executive-order-1e95d9836bf6f8c0c245ed1c3234d968  If there were real security concerns, then our government should work with Alphabet (Google) and Apple to have their mobile operating systems prevent various forms of information from being gathered and transferred through *all* apps on their platforms.  I'll be talking about Android because I have pretty much no experience using Apple devices.  Ever have an Android app literally harass you asking to share your contacts? At least on Android phones, you lite...

In Windows 10 there is a notification side panel. Inside it you could easily toggle the night mode, which they call night light.  What's good about this feature? It's a lot more pleasant to look at screens when color accuracy isn't needed. Windows itself shifts to a golden color cast. It doesn't need to only be for use in the evening.  I looked around in Windows 11, but there appears to be no way to toggle the feature without digging into system settings or enabling a fixed daily timer.  My overall experience with Windows 11 tends to be one of frustration with the limited nature of its interface and intentional inconvenient multi-step design. We see that in the desktop context menu and the taskbar to name a few vital pieces of the operating system.  Do the interface designers actually use Windows day to day? Who knows, lol. Maybe most of Microsoft is using Apple devices or Linux these days, lol.  The Github page. Thankfully,  someone called aouronga on GitH...

 I found the max TDP setting in MSI's bios and currently have my 12 core 9900x set to 45 watts. 😄 Looks like it is capped to 60 actual watts. With CPU ID's stress test the 9900x TDP limited is still a sizable portion of a 16 core 5950x score.  CPU ID and HWMonitor when the 9900x is TDP limited to 45 watts. Also, I'm surprised that PBO was set to enabled by default. At least from what I could discern from the BIOS at the moment. It wasn't set to AUTO. Is this a thing for X670E motherboards or MSI? Anyways, it's neat you can adjust settings toward cool and quiet rather than the opposite for people that like it. This is making me want a second current era computer to mess around with and one set up for full reliability and work. Component makers, let's collab? 🙏 A test bench build would be super useful.

I posted a technology news video on my related channel. These days OBS is a program I use a lot for all of my online video work! It's nice to see it is getting sustained development. Sadly, it doesn't look like the the Application Audio Capture beta functionality was worked on. I use that feature due to what it offers, but it doesn't work amazingly well with my current PC hardware and operating system. I get garbled sound from audio sources randomly.  Timecodes from the video:  0:00 Multitrack Video live on Twitch  2:06 Intel 13 and 14th gen high-end CPU problems 2:31 Intel ARC tested on 250 games.  2:53 Lian Li's weird edge PSU 3:27 Realtek 5Gb ethernet getting cheaper  3:41 CUDIMM memory standard added to the list  4:19 LTT website is live and Gamer's Nexus site talk  Information and links from the video:  The OBS Project information:  https://obsproject.com/   https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/30.2.0   https://obsproject.com/kb/application-aud...

(I used Claude AI to generate this article based on my video's transcript, so keep that in mind it might not be perfect even though I've gone through it to correct any issues I see. Also keep in mind that I've done further testing with an ASUS Proart 4060 compared to the MSI 1060 on my old PC and noticed a few situations where the CPU was limiting performance such as FFXIV minimum framerates.) I recently decided to take a look at the GIGABYTE RTX 4060 low profile version. This was the cheapest RTX 4060 card I could find as an Amazon Warehouse Deal, and I was curious to see if my old computer would benefit from upgrading from a GTX 1060 6GB to this new card. Low profile! My current system is built around an Intel i7-6700 CPU, which is likely to be the main limitation in this comparison. I was particularly interested in the sound profile of this card given its tiny size. I don't take a look in the video, but potential benefits of AV1 encode/decode are one reason I wanted...

 I might as well start things off here!  I'm working on a second GPU video because I had ended up swapping out the cheap Amazon Warehouse Deals RTX 4060 one for a larger quieter one. I also was able to do 4k tests without a 4k monitor by using the Atomos Ninja V. Starting to look through the results. Here is one in Google Sheets on Affinity Photo 2 using their built-in benchmark.  The ASUS Proart RTX 4060 has a performance and quiet mode which is what the PM and SM data lines mean. So far from what I've seen of the data these two modes don't mean much from a performance standpoint, at least on my old i7-6700 based PC build. It feels like a marketing based feature and I'm probably going to leave the card in quiet mode.  I'm not sure how much of a difference these scores mean in practice between the GTX 1060 and RTX 4060, but the number is larger! haha
