People who are actually capable of defending themselves and exercising the judgement of when to use lethal force and when to deescalate don't post about it.

People who post about it 100% have poo poo politics and are into murderfantasy.

Having lived in Orange County for grad school for a few years, it makes 100% more sense when I found out that he's based out of there. Not saying that everyone there is a shithead (there's actually a lot of cool local activism by undocumented young people), but they have some of the most vile fashy conservatives in the country.

Yes, because the purpose of his channel is not to provide useful information - it is to entertain. If you want to be advertised to while being entertained, watch MKBHD. If you want useful information, watch Steve.

But what's entertaining about a video that's entirely advertising the phone? And passed off as some sort of meaningful review, even. It's bizarre

I used to enjoy him but for some reason this year it feels like something changed. Like everything is much more corporate and a glorified infomercial. As weird as this sounds I think I started noticing when on his podcast he offhandedly mentioned Apple's style guidelines about not using an article with their products. For example, "The camera on iPhone is amazing". The more I watched the more I realized he does it to other phones as well and it drives me nuts.

I've switched to GSM Arena for actual reviews and Mr Whose The Boss for reviews/entertainment

Edit: Yes that definitely soured me on him. His recent Zuck interview has me very much thinking of finally unsubscribing.

Yeah I used to watch his videos every once in a while but haven't seen a single one this year either. I used to like the production values and the basic "here's what it's like to actually use" approach but recent it's been too just too whorish.

Agreed. I want to see more Buick's, more 5000W bluetooth speakers, and more $50k+ worth of used engineering/prototyping/CNC equipment to make horribly stupid ideas because all the writesr are hacks not to mention more videos' of going into Anthony's basement apartment filled with furry poo poo.

Just lol if you watch LTT and expect it to be anything more than a fun gently caress around with tech with info / opinion sprinkled throughout. Whole Room Watercooling was like 5 years ago, if you haven't realized at this point that the channel is a little tiny bit not educational i don't know what to say.

Linus I get. He's very clearly pivoted to just being silly. Apple guy and Unbox guy I watched while shopping for a phone and they're just not helpful. The stuff they comment on isn't useful information, it's just re-packaged marketing. And when it becomes pure entertainment without education it's not very entertaining stuff. I mostly watched Flossy Carter that guy at least uses the phone. And his cat is cute.

Most of the tech youtubers remind me a lot of watching gaming journalism go down the shitter in the 90s.

He doesn't even pass it off as educational though. He's explicitly said it's for entertainment.

Since we're talking about Linus as entertainment, I'm going to link my favorite LTT video:

This seems far less researched and scripted than most of their videos, and you can tell he's really getting frustrated.

If the clip was carrying any significant amount of current itself it would get super hot pretty quick, but not as fast as it blew itself up. Yes I might happen to have had a paperclip shaped mark on my finger for a few days 😂

Unbelievable. Usually he has a lot more common sense (minus the crazy gun stuff, but at least he kept that off his 8-bit guy channel) but that was painful to watch, and stupid to boot.

Cutting the PSU case rather than a slot in the screw, or just buying the right driver? Replacing a slow blow fuse with a fast blow? Using a paperclip on a keyed mains supply output without first checking the pin-outs with the multimeter he has, or even looking at the wire colour coding? Powering it up in the first place without giving the internals a check after it's been in storage for 30 years? Crazy.

Appallingly stupid. I did like how he finished the video with a quip about hoping things go better the next time Computer Reset calls him. Like there's going to be a next time once they see that video.

Yeah, that was really baffling especially when a video literally from a week before shows him doing competent electric work on his new shed (at least to a layman). How the hell do you gently caress that up?

16 bit? Back when we was kids we only got a single bit on Christmas, as a treat
And we had to share it!
I knew of a few places like Computer Reset, but none that made it through the 2010’s. That and the sheer size of the place is why it’s so unique.

I think they’re just happy to exchange money for new old stock, TBQH.

In terms of other keyboard playing retro computer youtubers, I've recently started watching Tech Tangents, a nice sub 100k channel who has some interesting stuff / makes good background noise in COVID times. Would have a great voice for a greybeard. Haven't looked at his social media so objectionableness is unknown.
