NVIDIA’s popular GeForce Now cloud gaming service just emailed all their members with an “Important Update”. Which, as expected, is a BAD thing… why does “Important Update” always equal bad news nowadays?! In this video I discuss exactly what GeForce Now changes are being introduced in January 2025, and why it sucks. If you prefer … Read more
I have always wondered what PC/laptop set-ups the big tech creators use for their own personal gaming and/or video editing, so I emailed ten of my favorite creators and I asked them. The results were really interesting for a few different reasons, as I explore in this video. If you prefer text over video, please … Read more
When I attempted to upgrade my study from 1 to 10 Gigabit networking, I quickly found that there is a world of non-Ethernet based home networking out there. In-fact, Ethernet is barely ever used as the central delivery mechanism for 10Gb, 25Gb and 100 Gigabit networks. So in this video I run through exactly how … Read more
In a previous video I discuss how it’s unusually not advisable to power your low or mid range GPU with a single PCIe cable, due to inherent limitations that exist in the PCIe cable – especially if it’s a budget (low guage) one. But what about high end graphics cards, like cards from NVIDIA like … Read more
When choosing a new PSU, it’s easy to get decision paralysis – especially when people sometimes say that multi-rail PSUs are “safer”. They’re also more expensive, and some people say that they can lead to more crashes (in certain cases). So… which is best: single-rail or multi-rail PSUs? That’s exactly what I explore in this … Read more

So in this video I show off Clean Meter. I show how to set it up, how it looks, what customization options it has, … Read more
I recently had a consult call with Taran (the awesome former LTT editor) and he said that getting another monitor would be a big productivity booster. So after remembering that I had an old 22″ 1080p monitor in my cupboard, I set it up… in a slightly quirky way. It’s mounted to a 360 degree … Read more
Life is EXPENSIVE nowadays, so it’s easy to be tempted by second hand PC parts that are sometimes available at a big discount to the full retail price. But is it sensible to buy used RAM, CPUs, motherboards and more? Are there some components you should NEVER buy second hand (like storage) and some that … Read more
I have seven network switches in my home: six unmanaged switches, and one managed switch. Why did I choose unmanaged in most areas, but a managed switch in my study? I answer this question and more in this video, and I also dive into a hands-on demo of the Ubiquiti management dashboard (the UniFi web … Read more
I recently got fed up with being unable to fit small extra devices in my old micro ATX case, like my 10 Gigabit networking card. So I decided to upsize to ATX by purchasing a cheap mid-tower case (CiT Galaxy) and a quality B550 motherboard – the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2. This combination has … Read more
