I could *see* the humor in it, but all it does is breed more distrust to the media, which will put lives at risk, when it comes to weather stuff.
I am a headphone person. If I was to get speakers I'd go for wired, less chance of interference and (in general) better quality in sound.
I trust my local weather people, usually one of them gets it right. There was 1 meteorologist who got the weather right 100% everytime, but he passed away 2yrs ago. It's been hard finding a local station with someone like that since their passing. My folks tell me to watch this one station cause their weather is really accurate, but I refuse to watch Fox news just for "accurate weather". Their reporter's have 0 chemistry together & come off like they tolerate each other tbh. =_=
What are your thoughts on "gaming news media" on youtube like The Know & or etc?
I don't know about "The Know" but for the most part, I have just came to accept that Fox Mulder from the X Files is correct "Trust no one".
The Media from mainstream to niche all have been caught lying (or just wrong in basic facts) for their own gain in massive ways.
Recently The Verge made a video on "how to make a gaming PC" it was massively flawed instead of using a dot of thermal paste, it was described by some as a "Bukkake", using single channel mode in their RAM, not putting things together, talking about how "Great" Nvidia RTX will be (the major opinion on RTX is 1) the test benches wont justify the crazy jack up prices and 2) there is some serious shade from Nvidia about how they are handling it). Oh also his storage device is only 400 some GBs, for a "gaming PC"...you wont be getting much games on that bud.
A better list stolen from a user on Reddit:
Quote: Installing the motherboard before all else. It's a MUCH better idea to install the parts which go directly into the motherboard beforehand such as the CPU, RAM, and (in this case) NVMe SSD. After all, it's a lot easier to work on these when they're out of the case, so why not do it when it's out of the case?
Drive speed is quite overrated here. Faster drives only contribute to faster loading in regards to games, and have such a minor impact on FPS it might as well not. Yes, if you're spending $2000+ on a PC you should be investing into high speed storage, but for the budget user, it's pretty low down the totem pole.
While his installation of the GPU was relatively fine (though you should remove the covers on the case before installing), his decision to buy a 1080, then desire to upgrade to RTX when the line is coming out literally next week from when this video was released is an exceedingly stupid way to waste your money. If you want a new generation of graphics cards and they're not far off, wait. Don't spend your money on a current gen card (especially a flagship like the 1080) when the next generation is this close to release.
For this system, and his desires, 850W PSU is overkill. Unless you're doing SLI or something there's not much reason to have such a beefy power supply. Yes, $2k budget, but you want that money to go to things which make your build better, rather than being superfluous and wasteful.
Installing the CPU cooler before the CPU itself. Just do it all in one fell swoop rather than making it needlessly contrived!
Application of paste is kind of... odd. Normally, you just go for a thin sliver of it (about the size of a grain of rice) across the center. The way they did it is much more likely to result in applying too much, and it doesn't really have any advantages over the rice grain method I mentioned.
A Cooler like the one he is using usually requires mounting braces on the back of the motherboard as well as on the front. Unless his is some special model which doesn't (which I find relatively unlikely) or did it offscreen before applying the board (which would be weird as that's a crucial part of installing the cooler), odds are he didn't safely mount the cooler.
Random question: Do you like dragons?
Indifferent? I don't hate them nor am I in to them...
Do you prefer the eastern or western concepts of dragons?
Which one are you more indifferent toward? XD
I mean you aren't wrong!
What do you think of Overwatch?
What are your feelings on wizards?

Have it, never fully got in to it, I think I only did a few matches. Also I got turned off by the meta-meta game of some policies Blizzard started to do.

Does that make you a pc wizard? ;D

Sadly no. In the IT beards are a symbol of experience. Wizard beards are reserved for those who are masters of their craft and have spent decades in the craft.
Also I shall never reach wizard or even beyond basic ranks, as I can't grow facial hair.
You could just be scruffy looking.

Favorite kind of starship design? (if any.)
I guess The "classic" Star Destroyers. Design flaws included (exposed bridge for one...)
