  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    If you're testing throughput of a network then you use a tool that tests throughput. Want to know why he didn't? He's probably never heard of iperf because he's a fraud. Windows file transfer is not accurate and can be effected by drive speeds. It's insane to me how dumb some people are that watch his videos. That now includes you. The brain rot his channel has caused is real, I can't imagine saying windows file transfer is an accurate measure of throughput, lmao. You're an imbecile. This is exactly why I say LTT has done more harm to the tech community than anything. He has you believing windows file transfer is a legitimate measure of throughput! Ahahahahaha!

    And the fact he would be running Windows tells you all you need to know about his tech expertise. Windows is a joke of an OS with laughable workflows and no customization. Dude is a warehouse employee that got a cult YouTube following from dropping hardware, he knows nothing about tech. Almost every video I've watched of his has me cringing over his incompetence, it's insane someone that gets so much constantly wrong has amassed such a following. But I guess, most people are just really that dumb, and punchable face thumbnails with click bait titles are enough to gain subs.

    Their entire purpose for installing the interconnect was for transferring video files for editing. If that's the only thing it's going to be used for, there is no better test than doing exactly that. Iperf isn't going to tell you the windows file transfer speed, only Windows file transfers will.

    I hate the guy too. He's a smarmy jackass that thinks he knows everything. I can't stand watching him. Unfortunately even idiots get things right on occasion. This was one of those times.

    And transferring huge video files for editing using Windows file transfer is equally moronic to using it as a tool to measure throughput. If that's actually thier workflow, they are bigger imbeciles than I could ever imagine. And so are you for thinking that's okay.

    When you run a new line, and you want to specifically test that line.... which is what he stated, you use iperf.

    You can try and defend it all you want but all you're doing is proving that you don't know shit. You think a test that has more variables, is less repeatable, and less accurate is the best test... you're just as incompetent

    Wow, you're almost as full of yourself as Linus. Have a nice day!
