I like Linus. It's one thing to be dry and analytical for hours and hours and argue about how effective something is, or what can go wrong, he just goes out and does it and it's super often a total trainwreck. And he doesn't care.

Yeah it's basically a gimmick of "do dumb poo poo with expensive hardware" it's not a serious channel and that's fine.

Xae posted:His setup was 5% less than optimal. His setup was catastrophic. Could it have been worse? Sure, I guess . 100 drives in Raid 0. Could it have been not-catastrophic? Not with Linus. 5% less optimal would have meant to have a half-an-hour downtime. He went above and beyond the call of duty on that one.

Yeah, I don't mind his videos about screwing around with tech (which is the whole appeal of his channel), but the literal fire code and OSHA violations in his server room rebuild videos were not that and worthy of mockery.

Running a thunderbolt cable through a wall for his networking was boss af. He's fun to watch and see him mess poo poo up and repent and be human about tech (which is very rare).

I’m semi local to Linus and he’ll always be linked to the computer store he did videos for, who crushed all other local competition and then went bankrupt abruptly due to being horribly poorly run, leaving myself and many others in the lurch. Rest in piss, NCIX

That everyone can agree on, at least he's doing something genuinely fresh despite all the cringe. While video games on YT is: "Hey remember how traditional *game journalism* sucked so hard? Now we are so much, much worse ever imaginable!"

OK I see some opinions came out; sounds like he’s a giant doofus who has access to cool poo poo and makes money off a YT channel doing silly things with that poo poo. Respect that hustle, I guess. I was sort of tempted by the 8086K but I agree with the poster that suggested $386 was a perfectly acceptable homage and there was no need to go $486 on us. I moved recently and found the boxes for my most recent motherboards: Asus P5Q Pro (Core 2 Duo), an eVGA X58 board for a server (PCIe lanes for HBAs), Asus P8P67 Pro (2600K lyfe) and then a Supermicro Skylake Xeon mobo for an ESXi host. No AMD (yet...).

Dumb marketing aside, there’s a difference between a “cash grab” and a product that’s just not enticing for the price.

Combat Pretzel posted:Maybe I'm not seeing it, but what's wrong with that RAID config? It's like RAID10, but instead of mirrors, it's arrays with parity. It's aptly called RAID50, too. Raid 5-0 is okay...ish... until you get so large that double-disk failures are very likely. Raid 0-5 (a raid 0 of raid 5 arrays) is playing with fire the second a controller decides to blip.

Speaking of Linus and Intel products, he found one of those Intel "XCC" CPUs on Computex show floor but with a "normal" custom ambient water loop setup. He wasn't allowed to run CPUZ but was allowed to run Cinebench. In that configuration it scored just over 6000, which is about twice what the Threadripper 1950X scores (so the 32-core Threadripper 2 would probably beat it due to the Zen+ IPC improvements). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NXZHLYtBi8
