This is highly impressive the applications are limitless i would go as far as loosely calling this "revolutionary" also the fact that its open source is excellent now things are getting interesting once again in the pc universe. I have a strong feeling this product could have strong applications for astrophysics its very exciting.
What about latency from OS? Network? Disk? Do we have bounded latency and can rely on it so that we can rely on timestamp instead of consensus protocol? Or do we fix things by anti-entropy?
LTT I'm having a problem that I think you guys should make a fix for on tech quicky. It's with screen tearing. It makes my OBS recordings look pretty bad. I've looked at all the tutorials online on how to fix screen tearing but nothing seems to be working.
what? computers can absolutely handle packets with future timestamps. there is no reason anyone should be adding a 20ms processing delay just to makes sure the timestamp is in the past. even IF a computer could only handle past timestamps, this would be easily solved by just editing them to appear in the past. this can be done by the sending or receiving computer with virtually no overhead
hi linus i got problem with my gpu gt630 i cant instal new grapics driver i got 2018 driver also randomly my screen turns off but pc still works so what problem is it can you help me pls pls pls
I don't buy the supposed benefits for gamers. It's great if you can have precise timestamps from every participant in a network, but that is completely useless if you cannot trust every participant in the network to truthfully report them. If precise timestamps where to be used for detecting who shot first as in the example Linus mentioned, what stops a player from always reporting the earliest timestamps possible in order to have a higher chance of being the winner in an encounter?
Also the claimed use case for security purposes is probably very niche, since regular IP communication usually doesn't have constant and predictable latencies anyways, since there are delays from buffering and from packets taking different routes, that can change the latency at any time, without anyone trying to tamper with the connection.
I would definitely buy one to try some different projects if they were cheaper. Games that have large asset counts and lots of physics going on for multiplayer seems like something that could really benefit from something like this.
Hey we use these Symmetricon atomic clocks to track whales!
The key ability of these clock sources is that they have a very low drift once stabilised to an external reference source (ie GPS). You can then remove the GPS, stick the thing underwater for several months, and know that your data timestamps are accurate to within several milliseconds (good enough to find aquatic callers).
PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is an independent thing, which doesn't necessarily rely on an atomic clock as its timing reference (we use GPS referenced PTP grand masters at work)… Although technically the GPS satellites use atomic clocks as their references… so it is sort of true…
What you DO need for PTP that Linus touched on is a a network card that supports hardware timestamping, where the card knows its own physical time delays to the nanosecond for acquiring packets. If you want to access a PTP server over a switch and maintain best accuracy, then you also need a 'transparent switch' where the switch actually detects the PTP timing packets and UPDATES their contents (timestamps) based on its own knowledge of how long it handled (delayed) the packet! Crazy stuff, but super handy when building an army of robots to assemble a car to make sure they work together correctly.
Fanatec sticker on a laptop in that vid. Does that mean some sim racing content at some point? 🧐
didn't quartz do this already?

We're going to tell you about our sponsor, glasswire.
No your not.
Could this work on vm?
Ok. So, the time is accurate across the group.

the comp gaming stuff is huge with this, seriously
Water cooling radioactive clock when?
We need a looping gif of Alex punched off doll Linus
I would love to see an LMG office implementation to see a closer-to-real-world example of improvements.
incredible
No one:
Linus: Did you say Alex is an inbread??
Finally A Generation Leap
Now everything make sense why I never got headshot in battlefield 4.
As a crypto geek this has a lot of great uses
chase saying that's good is just solid gold

Can you use it to buy gpus before the scalpers.
1:13 "calc.exe" hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It is me or the mic audio quality is worse in this video? .-.
hi linus i got problem with my gpu gt630 i cant instal new grapics driver i got 2018 driver also randomly my screen turns off but pc still works so what problem is it can you help me pls pls pls
I'm here for the messy hair, backwards hat Linus
i live in aud with 250+ ping and im hearing reduced ping might be coming. yes please
Ian had this card on his channel two weeks ago and brought it up even before that.
imagine if it meltsdown
Who needs Internet security
Get yourself an Alex 0:45
As someone in a place referred to as “the end of the world”
Getting that gaming timing would be nice lol
Ok,, Now show us how to use this thing to get more FPS out of CSGO?
Jasus Linus these clickbait titles are getting out of hand!
Pls do a Custom Build again!!! I love those vids bcs it is so EXPENSIVE!! Where do you get your sponsors😂😂

if linus tech tips gives me a pc i would like to every video DAY 1
The nerd in me would've clicked this video way sooner if the title was less vague
How is the sponcer not "PULSE" Way?
$1600 for a 3090 🤣🤣🤣
Silly Linus.
It is very interesting… when it costs 5$
so this is a replacement for quartz clocks?
We have found a way. Good job, lads.
Someone call EA I thank you found the solution to all thier games issues, other than the junk software they run.
Why is this PCIe Card RADIOACTIVE? LINUS TOUCHT THIS !
I thought express VPN was gonna be the sponsor

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.
