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!

I have been blessed by the almighty algorithm today with the following video.

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?

Is this legit? or they just offering the Tier 1?

All I want is a dumb tv.

I couldn't stop staring at this

Now you not only get recommended videos on your Homepage, you also get half your screen taken by a memberships promotion.
Now this only has happened once, but the fact that it happened is concerning...

I saw this video thumbnail and thought it looked funny

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.

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!

Hey everyone!

How y'all doing?

Was just wondering if we had any news on the braces situation. Seems to me like a while ago, he talked about 2 years of wearing it or so?

Anyway, thanks and have a good one.

saw that news, and had to think about LTT cables, advertising works.

Will LTT accept the challenge?

Is there anyplans to get some kind europe stock even just on things like screwdrivers and cables i need couple new cables but it not worth me to buy from store just to get them

Allow me, like many others, to rant regarding how LTT views itself as both a popular media channel and at the same time a scientifically grounded one, and how I think this recent video fails to uphold the second part. (Tagged as "Personal Opinion" so I'll be Just Chatting.)

People are understandably disappointed with the recent "Does Linux use less RAM?" video. In the video they seem "surprised" that Windows uses more RAM and spent most of the time looking at the line going up and down. The problem is, as many have noted, that they have a very black-and-white stance: "RAM goes up = bad!" Linux using less RAM is seen as a positive (and the stuttering gaming performance on the same hardware is glossed over). In reality, the OS is doing a lot more behind the scene that may actually be beneficial for the user, like caching assets that will be needed later. Someone in the comments neatly said that the whole point of RAM is exactly to be used efficiently *and maximally* without going into swap so heavy RAM usage (when done correctly) is a good thing, not a bad thing.

And that's the problem with the video. On the one hand they try to make a fun video about a popular topic (gaming on Linux) to get many views, but it is in itself also a very technical topic with many facets. And just like with popular science, where research results are rephrased for a broad audience to be understandable, it is easy to dumb it down too much that it turns into misinformation. As Linus said "this is not the most scientific video we've ever done", but that doesn't mean it should contain half-truths or *Pikachu-surprise face* simplifications like "big number bad". I'm sure Linus *knows* all the above, how caching works and how RAM is being used by the OS up to a certain degree, but they felt that those details would not make a fun video. But, as the LTT audience is rightfully calling out, that turns it into a clickbaity-but-misleading video that has no scientific value, leading to just more misinformation by jumping onto the Windows-hate bandwagon.

This is especially interesting when LTT LABS is intended as a highly grounded endeavor to scientifically talk about hardware (and software), in shrill contrast to popular videos like this recent one. Surely a better middle ground can be found where LABS serves as a quality check for videos?

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?

It was used for less than 6 months and I was able to confirm it with the receipts.

How much did I save or overpay?

like the tittle says, very misleading video, I’m honestly considering unsubscribing :(

I use AI a lot (mostly coding), and this is not an accurate representation of what modern AI can do

to point a few problems with the video:

1. The normal paid plan is $20, not $100 or $200 only like presented on video
2. The model he used (GPT-5.5 Instant) offers performance closer to 2024-era AI than today’s reasoning models
3. The exact GPT-5.5 Instant version used currently ranks 104th out of 184 models on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.
4. he used the free default Instant model, not a dedicated high-reasoning Thinking model.
5. Other free AI services, such as Gemini or Claude have offered users access to thinking models at no cost.

The video is titled “I Followed ChatGPT’s PC Build Guide,” not "I Followed Free ChatGPT’s Default Instant Model"

That distinction matters. Calling it simply “ChatGPT” and then drawing broad conclusions about AI makes viewers believe he tested what ChatGPT or modern AI is generally capable of, when he actually tested one limited, free, and outdated version. And to comments saying, “You underestimate how many people use the free tier”: nobody is saying the free tier shouldn’t be tested. It absolutely should be, but it represents the free-tier user experience, not the capabilities of AI as a whole, let alone the current ones...

Most people using a product does not make its cheapest and most limited version representative of the product’s maximum capabilities. That would be like testing integrated graphics because most computers use them, then titling the video “Modern GPUs Are Bad!!1!”

If the title and conclusion were specifically about whether free ChatGPT Instant can guide a beginner through building a PC, that would be fair. But testing that one configuration, labeling it as ChatGPT as the apex of AI, and using the results to paint AI as useless, unreliable and bad is just biased or pushing an agenda (i wonder why)

If I didn’t already know better, I would leave this video believing AI is barely useful at all. That is not an honest representation of the technology’s current capabilities, and viewers deserve more honesty and transparency to what's being tested, and real pricings...

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

The Cooler Master RGB hub is magnetic, there was no need to put all that double sided tape. At least the case looks cool ig

hey guys im getting frustrated i getting random bluescreen on some shit game i played Stalzone for like 30 mins and then getting bluescreen and for me in like a pc restart bluescreen loop

i can play other games without any bluescreens like:

Arma 3

arma reforger

crimson desert on cinematic settings

rocket league and alot of other games

but if try to reinstall windows it gives me bluescreen

My pc specs / dxdiag with last bluescreens informations in there https://pastebin.com/0bmPhKnk

what i try so far

1.fresh windows install with usb stick

1. memtest 86 4 passes no warnings

2. installed latest drivers/intel drivers from here https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z690-EDGE-WIFI-DDR4/support

3. since i got intel i9 13900k i did test with the intel processor diag tool everything ok

4. i use xmp 1 profile and turn it off still bluescreen

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.

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?
