Upload: T3 Episode 002

Hello Everyone!


Just thought I'd make a post and let you all know that Terrius Talks Tech episode 2 has been uploaded. I got inspired to make a video about the Jayden K. Smith chain letter hoax going around Facebook.


 It is important to note there is no way for somebody to hack your Facebook account simply through a friend request. They can however gain access to personal information that is viewable by your friends, such as birthdate, birth town, current address, and through social engineering they can try to coax other information out of you that can in the end potentially be used to Hijack your account, or worse, steal your identity.

 The moral of these scams is simple, only add people you trust to your friends list, and never follow a link from any source that you cannot verify the legitimacy of. This isn’t to say that you should fear every single friend request, simply exercise some caution, after all now-a-days so much of our personal information is online that a simple Facebook friend request can easily lead to the start of Identity Theft.

Sourdough Starter instructions

Today we are doing something different, rather than an electronics video I thought I would share my method for making sourdough starter! My method for making sourdough starter requires the use of a kitchen scale be it Analog or digital, baker’s choice. We use the scale in order to maintain the starter at a 100% hydration level, which simply means the amount of water and flour is equal. Before beginning my starter I like to measure out a week or two worth of flour, this flour is a mixture of 50% unbleached white, 25% whole wheat, and 25% whole rye. I generally like to mix up about 800 grams worth, or 28ish ounces. I find that adding the whole wheat and rye flours strengthens the starter and provides it with additional nutrients not readily available in the white flour. Generally after this initial batch of flour runs out I will remove the rye and switch to a 50% white 50% whole wheat mixture. I find that this combination of flours works best for me; however you can use basically ...

Hello everyone! Episode 3 of Terrius Talks Tech went up this morning. I am hoping to start posting a new T₃ video at least every other Tuesday as I find them very fun to make (though perhaps a bit more difficult)! For today's episode I decided to see if I could make some graphs and a spreadsheet to help me get a better view of the AMD Ryzen Ecosystem as a whole. Thus I decided to aggregate 10 different sites worth of Ryzen (and Intel) benchmarks to find out what the Mean performance is of the platform. The most annoying part of looking at benchmarks for me is the variance to what settings people use. Therefore I figured by aggregating the data it would balance out the extremes of setting choices that bench markers may have chosen. The synthetic benchmark aggregation was super easy and took almost no time at all. The real hard part was trying to find games that a majority of reviewers reported scores for, in the end I settled on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Rise of the Tomb Raider, G...
