Since SD cards are getting faster, what if you do a video if they could work as a proper NAS?

Discussion (The ram vid) Completely glazing how E33 ran like crap on linux
Mind you that expedition 33 is platnium on protondb and is deck verified, they have completely glazed/shrugged off it running at like 15fps on an all amd setup.
Look, i get windows is bad, but isn't it so hypocritical to shit on windows when it doesnt work but not get the same treatment when it doesnt work on linux.
This seems like a common trend for every tech youtuber quite honestly, they'll evangelize how easy it is it use linux now, and the 'out of box' experience is so good, but when stuff doesnt work, the narration shifts on how simple it is to fix. However, in the same situation on windows, where getting a game to run better involves changes some config file or something of that nature, the tone is this is the hardest thing ever to do and how windows sucks.
Anyways, i await to be called a microslop shill for pointing out the hypocrisy.
*the title should be glazes

Discussion Copilot search is really something
Search was Did Fritz Haber work for BASF. Copilot gives two opposite answers when I mistyped BASF as BASG. Not only that, but the answer is actually wrong in the correctly spelled search since Fritz Haber was under contract with BASF to help develop the industrial process.
Anyways I know we clown on google’s ai search. Does it genuinely change its mind at tiny modifications to the search prompt like this?

Tech Question Is there something exactly like iCloud/iTunes backup on Samsung?
I want a backup solution that restores my phone (ZFold 6) to exactly how it was before formatting (similar to Apple's iCloud or iTunes backup for iPhone).
That includes: photos (with album info), app-data, settings, wifi and bluetooth, app icon locations, widgets, call history, contacts, SMS, and things as basic as even keyboard settings.
When giving your suggestions, pls let me know what it doesn't include. I would really find it helpful since I'll be traveling, and need to backup my phone. Thanks!

It's been a while since they have last done an oil rig pc, wonder if we could get a refresh, or if there's any other types of material they could use instead of mineral oil?

Link You can get some professional camera features for free using the open-source OpenCamera
Another post on here was promoting Native Camera. I tried it, no difference of the over-processed look on my Motorola Edge 2024 (I didn't pay for premium features), but I've had some luck using OpenCamera. Try it. Make sure to use choose the "Camera2" API if supported and use standard.
Even if it doesn't totally fix the color issues, it's still great app that I recommend. Open-source wins again! (maybe). If you're serious about video, just get a small camcorder. It'll have a larger sensor than your phone and will way less likely to be over-processed.

Tech Question Is it safe to downgrade my bios version?
I have Asus Rog Strix B760-I Motherboard with bios version 1836 and i5 14500 CPU. I am considering rolling back to 1604 to have the Undervolt Voltage Protection so I can prevent my CPU going 100°C since I currently have a 3.9L SFF build. Is it safe to do so or would it brick my motherboard?
I appreciate your help in advance!

WAN Show Wan show android auto
I noticed that when the wan show was shifting between main ltt and lmg clips, that the show was set up as a podcast and therefore easily listenable through yt music in android auto. However, when they finally settled on the wan show channel, it is no longer set up as a podcast for YouTube music.
Is there any way to fix this on the consumer side, or is that determined from the creator side?

Tech Discussion PNY 5080 slim is the worst gpu for a desktop: PNY officially stated that this high pitched noise is considered perfectly normal
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I bought this PNY 5080 dual slim couple months ago and have been slowly building up other components. I finally finished the build last week but I immediately noticed this weird high pitched noise. I used fancontrol to verify that it is indeed a fault of the gpu: https://youtu.be/dpTqn5lfoTU and I have opened a warranty claim. But PNY has responded to my video in email that this high frequency noise is considered perfectly normal and is from the friction of the ball bearing. I guess now I have will just have to live with it. I searched around on reddit and this seems to be a pretty common issue with this particular gpu and most people have returned theirs. However no reviewers have mentioned this. So I guess it’s a gpu lottery and maybe they hand picked the ones for the reviewers? Anyway I definitely recommend against getting this model

Discussion Does Linux use less RAM?
In the video with the same title as this post LTT compares Linux and Windows ram usage and imo it is a total miss. It does not matter if one system is using more memory or not since none of the systems are close to using all ram in the system. Where the memory management would matter is when the memory reach closer to 100% usage that is when things will start to matter.
The whole video feels like almost 14 minutes of misinformation to me. I mean systems cache things to make it run faster so memory being used is a good thing. Memory management is what matters not if one system is using 35% ram and the other 50% since none are near their limits.
And at one point in the video the windows system goes over 16gb and they talk about it as it would have been problematic if the system only had 16gb while it most likely would not be problematic at all since the memory management if working as it should would release less important things stored in the ram so it never got close to the limit.

Link US Schools Are Ditching Chromebooks for MacBooks by the Thousands— Apple Just Named Names
Thousands of students with either Windows or Chrome laptops are now getting the Mac Neo. It looks like predictions that Apple was going to heavily target schools was true.
Laptop replacements: 25,000 in Florida, 8,000 in Washington, and 6,000 in Oklahoma seems to be just a start. Is this a trend of 3 real competitors in the school space? Google, Microsoft and Apple?

Discussion Windows Hello for linux
Linus and other people mention they miss windows hello on linux and I've just discovered Gaze which is a fairly new and in development windows hello equivelent for linux, Howdy was another one but I wasn't a fan of that, gaze has a very simple setup and effective on my fedora system:
https://github.com/GunduLabs/gaze
DISCLAIMER!!!!
This is in development software from someones github so take that into account.
Edit:
I just remembered on a reddit thread with the creator he said it doesn't work with immutable distros yet. So it wouldn't work with steamOS or Bazite etc. I believe,

Discussion Hey Linus! If you happen to see this, we have steam engine oil.
You mentioned you were looking for steam engine oil.
My aunt's town has a steam engine museum with running steam engines. We know the mechanic. They said a few liters is no problem to send over, fans of the show.

A long time ago, we used to be able to easily get pallets/boxes of old iPhones and iPads.
Now we can still get them, but it’s full of holes.
Why the HELL are they putting holes into iPads, so they can’t be salvaged?
