>Nvidia no longer explicitly mentions gaming revenue, driven by GeForce graphics cards, as a separate item for the first time. GeForce thus disappears into obscurity.

My 2ish year old Pro Hat

Proper care instructions were not followed. Worn daily working out in the sun. I love a good worn hat. You can notice the original color at the closure strap.

Is this a sign of greater things to come?

Ya, I know the pricing doesn't line up, but I'm thinking long term here. Might shake up the market.

Guys. How is this okay?

I honestly expect to get banned because of thisz and that makes me sad. Cause I’m actually really sad
How all of this is playing out.

And I don’t mean this in bad faith.
But how are comments like this okay? Like if roles were reversed people would be getting banned (and rightfully so) for making comments like this

Honestly I don’t mean this with any bad will. But it makes me sad this this is makes me sad as to what things have come down to.

Linus. I have a lot of respect for you and all that you have done. You channel is awesome, but comments like this are not okay.

Please do better.
Respectfully, a long time supporter.

Trying to remember a recent sponsor

There was a video I watched somewhat recently where the sponsorship was for a Reddit alternative, but I can't remember what it was, and to no avail, I clicked through probably 20 videos to find the one with the sponsorship. Does anyone remember what it was?

My regular googling has come up with Tildes, but I do not remember for sure if that was it, and I couldn't find Tildes on the Sponsors/Partnerships list.

“Camping”

Took my 70s pop-up to modern times. Nothing special about the PC or monitors to speak about really, but for those who are curious: EVGA 3060TI, Ryzen 5500, 32GB DDR4 and 2 TB 870 SSD. LG 4K monitor and a cheap portable on the side for chatting to people. Using starlink mini for internet.

Win updates is so disruptive

I have such a big issue with windows updates. It takes so much productivity out.

Firstly. Windows updates don’t always install properly (they fail). If they fail or do something bad, then you have to spend time rolling your system back.

NEXT ISSUE, windows updates needing multiple restarts. “Restart and update”. It still still then says you need to restart again.

Biggest issue: the updates that break something like a critical function or stops things working. It’s like rolling a dice with win 11 updates these days.

It needs to be like MacOS where it’s one install, one and done.

Is the appliance/tech market ready for no frills type of brand?

No frills is a (canadian?) super market that carries no brands and just sells you cans with minimal labeling that says sauce, beans etc...

Is the market ready for a similar approach in appliances, home tech? simple fridge, washing machine, dishwasher.. things that dont have an app, dont connect to the internet.. just does the thing it was designed for and calls it a day.

I watched elijah's online pot SC and goodness me.. that thing combined the worst in "smart appliances" and the hassle of cooking and cleaning to the point we are 10 steps behind!

Self hosted multigame server

Hi guys, hoping LTT will do this as a video, mainly comparing the options but there's some cool ways to easily host multiple game servers, like docker, Pterodactyl, pelican, and CubeCoders AMP. I'm a bias to AMP but it requires a 1 time purchase based on the amount of games you plan to host. Just wanted to plant the idea! Also here's some eye candy for you'll.

It might be time to do a sequel?

Maybe even take it one step further and try multiple open source alternatives to software he already uses? With the success of Linux Challenge 2 it might be worth showcasing what the wider open source scene is like. Try Zen or Helium browser. Libre Office. etc. etc.

Good news, another nail in the Adobe coffin. Firefox 151 helps you edit PDFs

Saw this and as a very long time Firefox user had to give it a try. For super basic PDF editing there is even less reason to use Adobe Acrobat and I imagine that Chromium will have a similar feature soon.

Bring back jank!

I’ve seen some sentiment lingering in the Reddit that people miss the days of LTT Jank, and I for one agree. I want to see interesting work arounds and things that technically shouldn’t work, be executed anyways. I don’t need to see a video about Ubiquiti sending you replacement chargers and then hiring somebody else (not even Brian the electrician) to install them…Like come on guys at one point you route your own flipping water block! That was *flips through notes* 8 years ago… Eitherway as a sub since 2012 & a floatplane subscriber, I miss Jank builds. If you feel the same way share your favourite videos below! Mine is this one!

For those of you who miss Jank, both Jake and Alex/Andy’s new channel(s) have plenty of it. Also buy Nick his Rivian(maybe they did idk)

New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing

$749 for Plex Lifetime after July 1, 2026. I already have lifetime from years ago but so glad I switched to Emby earlier this year. This is insane. For the record, Emby has a ton of client apps nowadays (https://emby.tv/download.html).

A way to make CSF not dormant

I know a video like this is for Floatplane only, but, I think it would be nice to see these 'fun and games' type of vids drip-fed onto Channel Super Fun, even on a 2-6 month (or more) delay. That way Floatplane can have it first and enjoy it, but then the YouTube audience can eventually see it at some point.

Or, a completely separate idea, even a once a year video on CSF would be enough; I know the channel doesn't make any $$$ for the company + there are other reasons documented on the WAN Show and this subreddit for why the channel has basically been left behind.

But something is better than nothing, right?
