Best 4K TVs for Gaming @GarryFL tweets, "Hi Patrick & Shannon. Long time fan here since DL.TV. Can you please discuss what would be a good 4k tv to game on via a pc and or console. Thanks!" We explain why it's a tough time to buy a new 2018 TV, what to look for, input lag (and how much is too much), and rtings.com's excellent input lag testing, deals on LG's B7 and TCL's P607, and more in the video!
pfSense or UniFi Security Gateway??? Randy tweets, "@TekThing What would be the benefits of replacing my pfSense router with a Unifi Security Gateway, other than the ability to manage it from my Unifi Controller?" Answer in the video! https://twitter.com/strra/status/977154813141151744

Patrick’s Beard and Social Media... Simon says "@TekThing Does @patricknorton's beard have it's own social media presence? If not then why not?!" [[laughter]] and answer in the video!
Do Something Analog! Like Eric, who writes, "My favorite analog (mostly) activity is working on cars. This time it was my old '97 F150 needing a couple of new pulleys and a water pump while I was in there. Since no one had the special tool I needed I made my own fan clutch tools." Photos of the wrench Eric made from an old mower blade and a pipe, and "the pulley holder is from a piece of flat steel I've had for over 10 years and just keep grind/drilling into different tools" in the video!
