Tiny Pc - Sentry 2.0
I had a lot of fun with this build. I am very happy with the Ryzen 2700 + Windforce 2070.I watched the intro the editor put together and had a gutteral laugh. Hope you enjoy.Also, apologies to Falco:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVikZ8Oe_XA&t=57
Ultra XXL Patron Q+A
Every question under the sun, answered in an overly verbose and pedantic video. Normies turn back now. B-)(This is the long/uncut version of the Q+A, so a lot more questions answered!)
Q&A Spectacular
Podcast still coming soonish :DPatrons, there is a preroll on this but you can use:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2cPsdIhJ58&feature=youtu.be&t=33 to skip it.It was sponsored by patrons too :D (Wendell wants a new camera, the panasonic s1. We don't need it. But he wants it. So look forward to more preroll for a while lol .There is a 1 ish hour version of this coming for patrons also. So if you want, wait and dont watch this short "everyman" version? :D
AData SX8200 Pro
This thing is awesome. Must. Test. Raid!For compiling on Linux, the firmware is about as fast as optane, which is very impressive for a NAND device.
【Virtual Reality with AVA Direct】
We've had a blast this past week playing with the Vive Pro, and here's a little review of the setup. Thank you to AVADirect!
VR fun
Wooooo :
The Most Terrible Intro
So this is a thing. We found the Radeon VII is an expecially good value for content creators. While it matched the 2080 in performance, it was a more stable gaming experience in terms of frametimes and performance consistency.The experience was marred only by the default relatively loud fan profile; applying "autoundervolt" via the Radeon software solved all the complaints we might have had, thought.The intro is a reference to Prince. They thought it would be too obscure to use the Egypt...

This is up early, though may need more time to finish processing. :)
Socket to me?
Here a great E-P-Y-C something.. idk we'll use that for the next title. World's blankiest blank? So Many Somethings, Some More Something Elses? Idk.Ten Architects One Server just isn't as interesting as 6 editors one PC :DThe first of.. rather a lot.. of videos on this. :)
Linux Lives!
This is like the 2.5th video for the continuation of the Linux gaming series.Finally, the agesa/firmware is pretty stable. I don't think the Vega reset bug is going to be fixed in f/w. It's annoying, but non-fatal.So the VM stuff continues. I've been working on some interesting stuff but I've gotta get back to making Linux content. QEMU 4.0 has some fixes for the problems I had newbs would be likely to encounter.
2060 Testing
It's too fast! (for a 2060). But it costs $100 more! Gaaaaaaah. Let me know if we made any egregious mistakes. New helper for benchmarks and organization.:DSome 2070 reviews coming up too..but... its so fast?Weird.wendell
Vlog Part 2
This is dry run #2 of the video that got canned. Going to add a bit more broll, then drop it :Dthanks y'all
One For The Dust Bin
This was way too long and didn't say enough. I'm practicing being a better communicator, so I am going to do a different version of this at a different angle that is maybe more information dense.I am having fun with computer science -- that's always a given -- but sharing it with y'all. That's the tricky part that's a bit of a time vampire for me.Some work doesn't always translate to interesting videos. Though I was surprised the 2990WX+EPYC coverage got the attention...
You guys rock!!!
Could not have done this without you patrons.Sorry you guys didn't get a sneak peek-- maybe we can do some behind the scenes here.I made it live soon as youtube made the 1080p versions available. Aaaaand now it's back to 360p. LovelySeriously though, this project took 3 months! On and off, as I had time. And you guys made it possible. So thank you THANK YOU thank you!This is a huge deal, at least for Threadripper users. Because the 2990WX weird performance quirks are not the 2990WX's...
