default hud, so it doesn't suck

AFAIK the thermal measurements are taken from diodes that are integrated into the CPU cores, correct? I don't think the temperature measured from any software is going to be measuring the temperature of the IHS.

There has already been a huge explanation of how valve wants to standardize the look of the game for streams etc...

You can see inside of your arms

you can't turn them off, i'd consider that pretty intrusive

also i'm not going to repeat the argument of "viewmodels look bad with high fov" again, that's already been discussed and explained many times in this thread

tbh I couldn't care less what the viewmodels are locked to as long as I can turn them off

If people are having issues with dropped frames I doubt that's related to the codec or the encode and it's rather the fault of their computer having issues with the codec for some reason.

Also, it depends on the length and size of the video you uploaded. For me, a 30 minute ~10GB 1440p60 upload will take upwards of 24 hours to finish encoding to full 1440p60 vp9.

Videos for youtube are encoded to 2 main formats: h.264 for older devices, and and vp9 for newer devices (or devices powerful enough to software decode). VP9 is a second generation codec (like HEVC/h.265) that has the ability to store videos in much higher quality with a lower bitrate. Only problem is they take much longer to encode. Due to this, Youtube will provide the fastest-processed encode first, then later will switch to the higher quality-lower bitrate encode once it becomes available.

I just wish that when I uploaded 1440p60 videos, "publish as soon as is finished processing" didn't mean "publish as soon as h.264 360p is done."

You can check the codec that is being used by right clicking on a video and selecting "Stats for nerds".

See "Mime Type: video/webm; codecs="vp9""

Have some anecdotal evidence:

Tragic is ok as long as you get lucky with what host your server is on. There's a chance you could get put on a crowded host (one that's running too many servers for its hardware to properly support, this might only be an issue with Chicago since so many teams want servers there). We had this happen last season (highlander) with our server, even with the "priority booster" addon you can purchase. Server was fine before ~6PM, but after that it would gradually degrade until server fps was extremely unstable (fluctuations of +/- 20fps, server frametime std dev ~8ms) at about 9PM when everyone was having scrims.

On match nights, server was averaging 30fps and occasionally dropping into single digit fps (server frametime std dev of over 40-50 ms). Repeated contact with support only yielded the standard "try resetting your server/running with no plugins" response, which we did to no effect.

I'm assuming you're on a local server on a jump map staring at a wall.

What is your fps dropping to when it does drop?

Is the value of your "closecaption" cvar during playback different from the value it was set to when the demo was recorded?

What exactly do you mean by "bad lerp settings"? What effects are these having?

Yes let's start this debate again and expect different results
