    Youtuber Spencer Cornelia Joins The Dark Side

    I remember having to decide whether to upgrade to the next gen BMW which had the newer (N56?) or doing something else. Went with the Lexus RX350 F-Sport. I know it's not a performance car but it is world class in reliability. I'm gonna test to see if it's true it will go 200k miles with only...

    No I'm in the NYC area so it's gas. I remember I had a shaking issue that turned out to be a vibrating sensor that needed to be replaced. I had no idea cars required stuff like that. Maybe it's just performance cars. Let me guess you must be able to do your own repairs. If I was car...

    Yeah ads are an annoyance but the creators are fighting for your views. So if their ads get too offensive, you can complain. If enough people complain, they will do something about it. Try doing that with CNBC or another network channel. How long does it take to ignore dumb ads...

    Yeah some of the creators do go overboard with their bias but videos like OP help to give an opposing viewpoint. But that's why I love the 2x speed-up or just simply click to a later segment. If you have half a mind, you quickly separate crap from the good stuff. That's what subscribing is for.

    Woah, you seem to have quite a bit of difficulty searching. I've found YouTube to be a treasure trove of useful information. In the past, it has helped me to fix my Lexus SUV headlight and installed video cam in my BMW SUV. For programmers, I must say googling might be 50% help solving their...

    Youtuber Spencer Cornelia Joins The Dark Side

    This statement perfectly illustrates the importance of YouTube and the Internet (wikipedia). That information is now easily accessible to ANYONE in the entire world. The old adage that "Made In China" meant the products were poorly made is no longer true. Tim Cook mentioned that they...

    Not sure why I never really got into Reddit, definitely believe upvoting is the best way to get some types of information. Yes YouTube content creators can do an excellent job of breaking down information if you are not an expert on the topic. Lately it's been interesting for me to see the...

    No my friend, I'm not living in the past. I was once like you, I held onto my cable TV because I was so used to it. But then I discovered it was better to cut the cord. Eventually I realized even YouTubeTV with its 50-100 channels was antiquated and still too much, a relic of the past...

    Glib responses like the tiktok comment just shows your ignorance. Trying to compare tiktok with YouTube. There is a reason why most broadcast/cable shows now have a presence on YouTube. I can get my quick take on important news items by narrowing on the YouTube CNBC news bit about a...

    Yes I do know how quickly it takes. I'm AMAZED at how quickly MeetKevin can do ONE take summaries WITHIN his longer live sessions. But I also do know how long it takes for QUALITY videos to make. Lots of YouTubers bemoan the amount of time that it takes to build quality videos. Viewers...

    Youtuber Spencer Cornelia Joins The Dark Side

    LOL, one of the YouTubers, MeetKevin, tried to run for governor of California and barely made a ripple. Most of these YouTubers content creators are making mad coin doing financial YouTube videos. I have to say I mostly stopped watching regular broadcast/cable TV and now prefer going to...

    Fidelity crypto trading

    Apparently Senator Durbin has similar concerns about Fidelity and crypto trading. I wouldn't mind that Fidelity shelved its crypto offering.

    Time for a new laptop

    Only USB-C with DisplayPort functionality allows video support. Plus make sure the USB-C cable can handle video. Beyond that, monitors should work. I don't think most laptops have more than one HDMI port. Another option that you should consider is a KVM like Plugable. It will provide...

    Time for a new laptop

    Are you a gamer? GPU really only matters for people who game a lot and at high resolutions. Generally better to opt for as much CPU as you can get if you are not a gamer or just a casual one. I have my laptop using USB-C (DP 1.4) to 34" Ultrawide and HDMI to 27" screen...

    Time for a new laptop

    Gotta be careful of these "innovative" laptops like the Asus Zenbook. I really think you need to spend time with them to know their limitations. Nagging feeling that there might be something lacking with the design.

    Time for a new laptop

    I mentioned the reason. IdeaPad has a GREAT keyboard, full sized arrow keys/num pad better than the ThinkPad IMHO. Also that 16" 2560x1600 high rez screen is really great. The Alienware x14 is lighter at 4lb but it only had a 14" 1920x800 screen. This is not an issue as a desktop laptop...

    Time for a new laptop

    Migrated to all laptops 4 years ago after getting tired of dealing with driver and hardware issue when building midtower PCs. Rather than going with a vendor completed PC rig, thought having laptops would be much more mobile ie if there is a fire, just grab the laptop and go. I have a...

    Fidelity crypto trading

    As someone who has their entire retirement account with Fidelity, Fidelity is DEFINITELY an institution that is too big to fail. I believe it's, by far, the custodian with the most retirement funds. 40 million investors with $9.6 TRILLION assets under administration and additional $3.6...

    Binance's CZ take on the fiasco

    Let's be real. The entire thing was their personal piggy bank. It would have be interesting to see them try and justify it if either Singh or SBF used their full loan. Also I thought it was $1B for SBF. In any case, they did WHATEVER THE F*CK THEY WANTED.

    Bitcoin Will Worth $1 Million By This Date, Predicts Cathie Wood

    She needs to put at least 50% of her net worth in the crap that she pushes. It's real easy to be bullish when it's other people's money.
