Haha hate to say it, tek has gone backwards :p
Logan's MSI laptop with its 16gbs off ram, wow, I could accomplish a lot more with Excel (GIMP 2.8) with that type of 'tech-power' :)
Lets crack open that source code Wendall!!
I'm looking forward to the Tek's China (Taipei) video coverage, Taipei seems to be light-years ahead of the West in computech advancements.
Logan use Bitwig Studio. It's native to linux and has ex ableton developers working on it. It's really cool.
No 180 jokes... Disapointed :(
Please ask Oneplus One to add Micro SD slots into their next phone! (or even the current generation)
Okay folks ;)
This is how it is in the UK - We don't have a president, we have a Prime Minister. We are a union of four different countries, these are England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. However, all four countries are governed from Westminster in London.
That fact is what's causing problems here, without going too deep into politics, what has happened in the election is that people have voted for different parties in each of the other countries, however, the 'First Past The Post' system ensured that more votes went to the Conservatives (Your equivalent; The Republicans) since England has a larger population.
Here, in Scotland, we voted overwhelmingly for the Scottish National Party(SNP), pushing pretty much every other party out of the 59 Scottish parliamentary seats (think Senate), but, like I said above, we'll still be mainly governed by the Conservative majority in England.

I hate to defend Hillary, but you can't just look at the average pay of the men and women on her staff, and then conclude that there is sexism because men get paid more. Maybe more men occupy the higher-up positions, or maybe work more overtime.
Anyone know what that glowy purply/orangish looking thing behind Wendell is?
Thanks guys, great Tek, as always. Q: Which Feynman book were you talking about?
Isn't HGST a Western Digital company??
Don't get me wrong, I'm not siding with the ISP's, but digital TV is not like the Internet. This is a very simplified diagram that shows the difference.
From the user's perspective it looks like it's the same speed, but on the backend it's different. That's because on TV, all channels are transmitted in the same time, so every user receives the exact same signal. The link between the provider and the splitter has the same speed as the link between the splitter and the user, because both carry the exact same signal.
The internet doesn't work that way, ever user gets a different signal, so to guarantee that the speed of the link between the user and the switch or router is always X Mbit/s for all users, the speed of the link between the switch or router and the provider needs to be X Mbit/s times the number of users.
Question to enermax
If possible it would be nice to know why Enermax stopped selling the Luxuray computer case. I love the more classy style of it and am pretty happy with it.
My 2 pence on the UK at the moment
The position in the UK is in my opinion very problematic for technology at the moment. We used to have a "coalition" government, this meant that two parties had to share the power. These two parties were conservative and liberal democrat. In the most recent election conservative remained in power but the lib dems were thrown out. The Lib Dems were the party that blocked a fair bit of the snooping policies that the conservatives tried to pass. Now that they have gone the snoopers charter has already been passed through. The government wants to leave the EU in part because the EU human rights claim we have a right to privacy. The conservatives have already said that they would create British rights instead. I imagine that the privacy stuff will be "forgotten" from the new set of rights.
This is the same government that implemented internet filtering meaning that some websites are blocked in the UK. They also made family filtered internet the default option that you have to disable if you want access to "non family friendly sites" such as certain grand theft auto forums and other content.
While the internet connectivity is pretty good in the UK and mobile contracts are pretty fair (i pay £12.90 [$20] for unlimited mobile internet [fair usage of 1tb per month] and free roaming in many countries[including the US]) we are heading towards some pretty serious censorship and frankly i am worried.
Especially since i never heard anyone talk about technology policies during the election. Most of the other parties had written in their manifestos that they wanted to reduce the internet snooping and censorship.
I struggle to find many reasons why you would want to run a technology company form the UK which in my opinion is going to cause this country a lot of issues going into the digital age.
Offtopic but possibly important:
Is the "About the teksyndicate.com category" Supposed to contain what looks like default example text?
Digital broadcast TV, yes, correct. But VOD services are packet switched and still mpeg2 in a lot of markets. Some cable providers also have a "remote dvr" type service where they do the dvr function in order that you can run the dvr shows for any tv in your house, or stream to ipad (e.g. slingbox type service that is hosted by the company). Those are packet switched networks also.
And, for last mile, if the bandwidth weren't used up by a constant digital signal, you'd have more room for a packet switched digital signal in the last mile which is where the bandwidth crunch is. The backhaul networks are all already fiber anyway.
I agree, but the way Logan said it on the tek sounded like if you have X Mbit/s on digital broadcast TV, than you can automatically also have the same speed for Internet on the same link if the TV signal was removed, which is not always true.
It is true if the backhaul is fiber, but if it wasn't, then it's false.

Can you ask OnePlus why Oxygen OS is not updated to 5.1.1 and what is there update schedule for Oxygen OS ?
