they've always done that. if you buy a desktop from any of the big brands, the case/motherboard/power supply are all proprietary AF and will only fit each other. everything else is usually at least partially upgradeable

@@bradhaines3142 Yeah, the compatible intel Wifi/BlueTooth card was only like $25 and it works great.
Very random concordance, but I was just watching ProZD's 90's Sears AC ad video which ended in black and white. And what did I see the second this video once queued? Riley in black and white! I almost thought my 10+ year old monitor was finally giving out! XD;
0:10 NO!... The inability to change CPU COOLERS is the absolute deal breaker for so many people. I managed to install a Xonar SE, HD60 pro, 970 Evo Plus, 16GB of T-Force RGB DDR4 memory, and even replaced the case fan with a Noctua Redux 80mm fan. But I can assure you that's about as far as upgrades periodically go unless you can create yourself a copper cold plate variant of Dell stock heatsink/80mm fans. I'm referring to the SFF 7040 specifically, I was forced to get a mediocre PC cause Bungie/343 and Xbox Live rushed me.
So the world's first ever Cy-borg has been made. In true Warhammer 40k style as well.
That opening should have gone on for like half an hour.🏆
Getting a dell ads while watching riley roasting dell
Nice lol
Well, they certainly don't want to be Dell anymore.... since the 90's...
Riley is AMAZING & easily my fav person @ LTT, maybe even just on the internet. Buts it’s not the same without a peanut gallery!
That last story is great. Imagine being trapped forever in your own skull but now technology can at least let you talk to the outside world.
That brain computer interface is getting us closer to making power armor, Mechs, cybernetic limbs, and a full virtual internet.
Needs more heckling!
Riley is the best part of tech news
As someone who didn’t know you had a Marcus on your staff 0:14 really messed up my morning
Man, that was a good intro.
Where is the longer tech linked SVU
Intro was legendary
Shout to that one part of Rileys hair. Alfalfa spirit
Umm, i thought DDR5 laptops should by default support 128GB of RAM, and up to 256GB with 4 slots
are there 64gb sticks? biggest i heard was 32gb
@@bradhaines3142 You're thinking of DDR4. DDR4, DDR5 double's the density, which is really the only reason to get DDR5, but no chipsets support it, meaning there is no reason to get DDR5 outside of edge use cases where bandwidth is more important than latency.
I've got a sub $100 kit of DDR4 on my 5700G that runs at 4933CL17-17-17-30
Faster and FAR better latency than DDR5 5400CL38
And latency better than DDR5 6667CL42
"that's not the right take-away' lol
That last news LMAO
0:48 wasn't dell working on some framework-like laptop concepts just a few months ago though? sometimes i really wonder what's going on in these tech companies.
That last joke... 👌
Not gonna lie, that last news story is amazing
Riley my boy at it again
Riley rocking the fresh cut
Damn, an Xsplit ad.
Riley, you are fantastic. Thank you for not adding sexual innuendoes or trash into these videos.

Dell,you can't pull an Apple without building a cult.
How many episodes of Tech News have there been and how do they always have a unique intro.
I only use the small charger in emergency's, aka, my brother forgot to plug in again...
despite it rarely getting used, i'd almost HAVE to buy one. Even if it wasn't for the occasional oopsie, It's peace of mind knowing in a emergency i could plug in almost anywhere.
I think companies should just offer the option of getting chargers for no extra cost when buying a product, be it a car or phone or whatever. It is wasteful if someone isn’t going to use it, but it may be necessary for the consumer if it’s an accessory they never had before.
Riley makes me ridiculously excited to watch LinkTeched or whatever this show is called.
I'm here for the mustache and wit.
literally right after he said "yeah... we can talk about tech news" my headset turned off... that timing
I love episodes where James is not talking in the background
Riley was really on it today!!
Imagine writing a book at the speed of thought.
Winds of Winter would still be delayed ad infinium.
Wow, haven't heard Xsplit in a while.
