WATCH OUT Power Supply Makers! - LTT Labs Update

[@eldibs]

Imagine being so confident in your product that you help provide the media with exactly the tools they need to tell if your product is good or bad. Good job, Seasonic.

[@jono6379]

It's a good thing for seasonic because there will be no surprises from the ltt test if they are using the same equipment

[@fernando858CA]

I purchased a Seasonic power supply because of the great rep like 6 years ago, not even one of the top tiers and only 620 watts. I have upgraded to a 3070 and a Ryzen 5600X and it still works perfectly even on 100% loads (on the graphics card at least). Between the rep, my experience and knowing they are promoting the fair and full testing of their products (and the competition's) makes me think I will continue to use them on any future upgrade.

[@c2thew]

Correct. This is a huge advantage for seasonic for putting their money where there mouth is. A third party validating their results is a huge win for the brand. Watching the competition fail with false advertising will keep trusted brands on top.

Your transparency and excitement are what make me believe in this project, and boy am I looking forward to the end result!

[@benwu7980]

I's also a big insight into what sort of timelines industrial side of things work versus consumer products. We get a launch date a few weeks before things are on the shelves to buy (in theory). Seeing even the price on industrial stuff is a chore, it's all 'price upon request' etc and can be shocking how long it can be for a product to arrive. Like getting that oscilloscope after select which want , and i assume it's similarly high end. Or the costing for that TDK foam they imported. Also having to build the team with actual expertise.

The Lab might just be the coolest thing LTT ever done. Can't imagine overall costs, and how long will it take to recoup the costs, but they could easily become industry-leading tech investigators, if their testing is frequent enough and in depth enough.

[@edwardscott3262]

Well considering how much companies spend on advertising they have a huge discretionary spending budget when it comes to paying "influencers". One bad power supply by a large company could result in a huge perfectly legal "windfall". Paying for better press is legal for businesses. It's also way more common than people think. LTT is probably going to get a major education in what's not only legal in business, but also considered a fiduciary duty. While bribery, stalking, harassment and everything else is illegal for normal people. For businesses it's not only legal it's encouraged. A great example of all the above is movie promotions. Any time you have ever seen a movie star talking about their new movie on TV news or elsewhere the studio is paying for that.

That’s really cool! It seems extraordinarily difficult to find good information on much of anything cellular network related - and while I found a DEFCON talk about programming SIM cards, trying to find basic information on how to interface with them, see the raw info on them, learn more about their capabilities and how they work in verifying that you’re a subscriber, I guess it’s too “nothing you’d do at home,” and maybe too obscure. What sorts of programs/tools do you use to work with them?

[@benwu7980]

One of the Firecell kits come with a smartphone and a sim. I've not used a sim reader or programmer since 2g era so I'm not sure how that's gonna work for them testing other phones. Would have to assume they just get network unlocked phones and use the sim provided by Firecell. Also I don't think they need worry about licensing authorities for that kit, it's very low range, even if was just outside the chamber it wouldn't reach outside the building.

I’m so glad that they’re taking the time to do it right. With the public plans fully realized, Labs is going to be incredible, and I’m sure they have more in store, or at least will once more work is done.

[@forgotn42]

It's really incredible seeing all of the testing gear you're setting up. It's at a level that once it's all set up and running smoothly, you could be doing certifications of the products & games. It would be impressive to eventually see an LTT certification on products in stores.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Seasonic is such a bro 👊 from freestyle ad spots to helping you guys test their stuff.

[@Hayai_]

Been watching you from when I was a kid to an adult with a tech career, great to see LTT stronger than ever and moving into R&D ♥

[@Weepsy_]

Finally he uses the ultra-expensive psu tester for S C I E N C E

[@shidbbussin]

Does anyone else want an "LTT Lab total cost SO FAR" video or just me? This equipment is wild, and I need to know how much has gone into this!

[@Real.eKolin]

If I remember correctly $3-4m was mentioned in a podcast at some point

[@Tuen9]

This is so sick! When all these lab groups are firing properly, this will produce so many test results that will be so fascinating to watch unfold. High quality benchmarking and high quality content all in one!

[@ohellgaming]

I’m super excited for Display Test. As a colorist, this is going to be amazing! Love it, that you guys expand in so many ways and getting us amazing content!

[@mnemonic6047]

Hi Linus, I just wanted to say that I feel really happy seeing you develop your channel, even though you'll never read this comment, You've been my guide to computers, since NCIX tech tips videos, you've motivated me to go to IT engineering school to learn to become a computer technician, and i'm still on the road to become an systems administrator, You've been my reference for computers for years, Computers is a passion for me like for you, I've learned so much from your channel, and I feel happy to see you advancing and develop your technical tools to show and teach us more about computers and its interity of lore. I live in France, and even though there's a language barrier, I'm happy to be subscribed to you ! :)

[@KYSMO]

Best channel.

[@404_Name_Not_Found]

I don't think many people appreciate just how valuable the data that will come out of the lab will be.

[@WillUlt1mate11]

These segues to sponsors are reaching new heights! Editors on 🔥 so keep up the epic work!

[@Klldarkness6008]

*Picks up highly powered metal box* Good ole Linus

[@NattMoir]

I love the lab updates. There is always so much progress to show, so many cool things. I would love to work there, it looks like the perfect environment with the perfect people around. Can't wait to see it finished one day!

[@Psykomancer]

17:13 Is that Wendel just casually walking around in Linus's lab? He is like an omnipresent technical support deity that imparts deep knowledge to good linux users.

[@comicsansgreenkirby]

That piece of lab equipment is beautiful! Hoping for the best of scientific results for public media!

[@Keptains]

PLEASE: Bring as much content as possible about the lab. I dont wanna be mean or something but lab content is the best you guys have every done. Every single sub-topic in this video could still be its own 20 minute video. Im loving it, so hyped!

[@davismccoy77]

Hey Linus, I have an EVGA supernova 650 that’s got a weird intermittent issue. If you want it for the PSU tester I’ll send it to you.

[@DanteMetaphor]

another supernova user here, i have the g3 1000, mine has a fan curve that once ramped up, never ramps back down until you power cycle.

[@gamingfox9845]

This is incredibly cool. LTT was already household name in the tech media space and one of the go-to places for non-biased information. With the new lab they can really throw weight around, calling out manufacturers potential malpractice. Incredible work LTT Team!

[@leonarbitrarynonsense359]

Honestly this is such an awesome project : a true independent and trustworthy voice to hold manufacturers to higher standards. Go Team LTT !

[@ohnoboohoo]

I see cease and desist letters with potential for some corporate lawsuits in the near future... I hope the writing and PR teams are ready to tip toe on egg shells and still give the most non biased reviews and test results under extreme pressure from these conglomerates. I salute LTT and their work for the betterment of the industry, I just hope they're not flying too close to the sun.

[@itskdog]

If the analysis is based on data that they collected themselves, there's no chance of a lawsuit succeeding. If anything, they can go harder in misleading advertising as they can test to such a higher level. They're using the exact same equipment that the manufacturers use themselves - when they first specced the PSU tester it was actually better specced than Seasonic's own one. Don't think that manufacturers won't buy the competition's product and use their own testing equipment on it to compare the products to make sure theirs is better.

[@Brurgh]

As much as I am skeptical of all big industry. There is no way they can stop LTT from doing their labs testing. Its an indipendant reviewing platform as much as they can try they cannot silence the media. Sketchy Tech companies will be shaking in their boots because there is a media company that can test their claims scientifically and thoroughly. I mean we have seen with the recent PSU explosions and GPU cable melting debacles they don't need help showing the shortfalls in their products.

[@smashallpots1428]

honestly im surprised this is the only content being made about the labs and you guy didnt just make a new channel and put together a group to just make videos regularly to try to recoup some cost...and maybe get another play button or two for the wall

[@hamstap85]

With every successive labs video Linus feels a bit more and more out of his depth, things are actually moving along quite fast. Any one of these endeavors could expect to take a while, all of them together? How busy is everyone!

[@TheMagico13]

It's definitely reassuring to see a leader who knows that he's not an expert in everything and when to defer to the people he's hired to be the experts. He's genuinely interested in everything but knows he's spread too thin and has to delegate, and the people he delegates to also need time and support to do their jobs. Makes me excited to see what sort of data we start getting out of the lab when it's all up and running.

[@pierssegal5910]

@@TheMagico13 he definitely seems to have a good sense of exactly how much value his personal involvement can offer vs staying out of the way.

[@renzar5016]

So great to see the passion for accurate testing and that the motive is to apply pressure for better products. Super great stuff, I've always enjoyed LTT content, especially seeing the effort for attaining the greatest accuracy.

[@theredstormer8078]

Honestly so hyped for this. Nobody's done it before and I don't think anybody else was going to. I didn't even see this whole lab thing coming but I guess it makes sense if you want the real numbers on everything! It's actually moving way faster than I thought it would.

[@512TheWolf512]

eeeeeeeh. as a metallurgist, calling THAT "metal 3d printing"is a huge fucking stretch. it's simple powder metallurgy (which is a vey old technique at this point) with a 3d-printer assisting in mold forming. i don't see anything NDA-worthy about that.

[@fish3977]

Isn't that the same thing as those silver clays you can basically fire in an oven?

[@kanetw_]

Yeah, it's the same concept as every other MIM or MIM-derivative (Ultrafuse's Metal-via-FDM, etc.). NDAing the *sintering oven* for it is hilarious.

[@Baba_Kush]

So, as far as I know, the Wagos you are using have a rating of 20 amps. Therefore, I would recommend switching them to something with a higher rating. However, those are indeed some nice lab bench power supplies!

[@LukasLiwandouw]

You guys should also do a LTT Approved Certificate and issue it to qualified products/customers. (and charge money for it)

[@itskdog]

That was asked on WAN Show before, and Linus has said that the biggest issue with that is working out how to avoid looking biased to products they've put their seal of approval on. Even as it is he gets called a shill for any product that gets an even slightly positive review (even with NVIDIA, who he's regularly highly critical of their business practices and LMG were cut off from all NVIDIA sponsorships after standing up for Hardware Unboxed)

[@JayFochs1337]

3:12 I'll never get why people whine about having better, publicly available knowledge for absolutely free on someone else's time/dime. Thank you LTT, I'm glad you're the ones testing and reviewing stuff so I don't have to dive down obscure forums and wait weeks for emails back from manufactures that have a lot of words but say very little. Plus, you guys use sound equipment from where I work (or have) so obviously you know what you're doin! 😉

[@winterlord22]

Linus, idk what you're on about. These updates are awesome! And of course we're hungry for more updates on the subject, but the rate at which you update is nothing to sneeze at. All of it is awesome. Love it!

Love the update for the lab! So much progress. Also, I really like Tynan on video, he is really confident and fun to watch. Would love to see more video's with him.

[@kylestewart4444]

The reach that LTT has, paired with a lab outfitted with professional testing equipment and technicians is the best way to start keeping manufacturers honest and customers informed. Good on you guys.
