FYI: Cheat engine is quite innocuous afaik. I've only used it to enable speed-up in certain singleplayer games, like RPGMaker games.

[@j.d.8593]

It can also be used to add money or level up faster on some single player games, it is a very useful tool.

[@aidrianpatullo598]

there have been instances of people using it to cheat in trackmania by slowing down the game to half speed, the replays would then be uploaded at full speed making it impossible to detect without scanning the input file

[@CaptainAwsome]

what it does is allow you to modify geame memory

[@bobsaget8791]

it can also be used in certain badly designed multiplayer games, it's just a tool for modifying memory values, I've used it to give myself money in red dead online to avoid doing the same mission 15 times to buy a single coat

For the graphics card: I would have tried to straighten out the PCB as much as possible, AND THEN stuck the PCB into a toaster oven to reflow the solder which would have tried to re-establish any connectors.

[@treysmithberger5373]

Hey Linus (if you read this) and team! This video fucking rocked the writing and passing was great; and I can't believe you got everything but the GPU working! One bit of constructive criticism is it really felt like the sponsor segue at the end was very abrupt. In my opinion it might have been nicer for the audience to have one final wrap up sort of summarizing the video. Maybe even with some graphic about how much money you were able to recoup since you mentioned money a couple times already. Keep up the good work!

[@jdthebomb]

Could have thrown the graphics card in the oven for a minute or so on low to try and melt things back in place.

I had the same thought. I'm kinda shocked Linus didn't think to try it himself.

Ok story time - about 6 months ago, me, my boss and a colleague of mine were walking down the street when we heard a loud sound. It was the sound of broken glass, bend metal and general destruction. We saw that something had fallen from the fifth flour window of a nearby window. At first i tough it was the AC unit, but it turned out to be a PC, along with a monitor and some peripherals. We started to warn people not to go near the building since we were unsure if there weren't more stuff coming down. About 5 mins later a woman came down crying and asking neighbors for help. Turned out her teenage son had some rage inducing moment that lead up to that point. Good thing there were no people waking near the building at that point. I've been thinking a lot about this kid lately. My teen years were some of the most confusing and generally shitty part my life. I hope he is doing better now.

Cheat engine can be used in online multiplayer games too, like GTA V to scam the casinos and get unlimited money. Any game that the money is held gameside and not server side can be exploited with cheat engine. It essentially reads and writes memory values.

Even without watching the results yet, I would say that video card is toast. The gpu and memory I bet has ripped pads and no telling how many broken traces, being that bent the best thing is to sell it for parts cheap. Memory, cpu and ssd are the only things I thought would be good initialy, but I was wrong. I was shocked the MB worked and the pci-e slot was not ripped out.

[@sepiar7682]

Funny video! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="321">5:21</a> Btw to be fair, at least with my first year physics knowledge, you did not give the AI's enough information to actually accurately calculate the forces the case experienced, only the impulse, so they just had to assume some impact time frame to divide by that I don't think even a human would have good intuition for. Anyway have a good day!

That damage can be caused from the cooler ripping down when the PC hit. The cooler causes the mainboard to spring forward due to the force of the large aluminum cooler fins and it slammed into the GPU and destroyed it. 100% possible, 100% seen it 100% sucks to be him.
