Employees with HR problems never get a good outcome even in large companies so I doubt it actually makes much of a difference. HR exists to protect the employer not the employee

I know in the videos he's there to help set up but there's a ton of "we" and "our room" talk that makes it sound like he's going to live there too. I could just be seeing stuff that's not there too, who knows.

Agreeing that it's probably just he expects to hang out there a lot, but honestly if somebody's first exposure to LTT was one of those videos and they concluded Jake was in a poly triad with Linus and his wife I'd have a hard time saying they're wrong.

I'm pretty sure, during one of the new home videos, they mentioned that Jake lived with Linus and family for a while. It looks to me like it's just a good friendship honestly. As to using staff to move equipment. Linus does seem to be stuck in the mindset of "I'm not rich, I have to save every penny I can because I'm so poor." Given what I remember of how he grew up (split family, never had a lot of money), that can be a real hard mindset to get out of. He's said a few times that he is a literal millionaire now, so the optics do come across pretty bad, especially when you add on his blindness to "I'm the best boss, union isn't needed" he's said in the past. That said, what with fuel prices atm, even if he paid the staff that was there overtime, it probably came out well cheaper than a moving company. Also a moving company could be a real gamble with some of the equipment and furniture he has in that place. A lot of times, they (the movers) don't give a crap about it. As long as it gets from point A to point B in a mostly complete fashion, their job is done. I've seen a very few companies actually care about your stuff, but most of the time they can be worse than UPS and FedEx combined as to how the condition of your things fare during the move.

more of a general knowledge question: is USB-C as a connector more expensive than micro-USB, at scale, such that we're still going to be seeing a divide between them in cheap vs. premium parts/components moving forward, or can we expect universal adoption of USB-C, if it hasn't happened already?

Shouldn't usb-c naturally take over due to the higher power delivery available?

Because it can be plugged in either way, it does take more connections (each side) than previous USB plugs. But at scale, the costs is maybe in the cent or two per for basic cables. Once it gets into power delivery, especially to meet the new max (which I don't think any cable's exist yet for), that does take more money and quality, but that hasn't ever stopped places from making very cheap cables before, so. I think we will get to USB-C as a universal connection once Apple switches. Europe slapped them pretty hard over it, and rumor is the next model of phone will be USB-C instead of Lightning. Cheap and/or knockoff stuff (so anything that has a USB connection for power) I suspect will stay Micro-USB for a while yet, as the stockpile of Micro cables that are laying around has to be substantial. Eventually though I think everything will just be C, unless D, E, F, or whatever they decided to make that is "better" shows up.

Given that Europe mandated usb-c on pretty much every phone produced after 2023, microusb will slowly evaporate from anything but dollar store products as economies of scale will make female C connectors as cheap if not more than micro-usb.

As for the connectors, at a quick glance they seem to cost twice as much as micro. E.g. 25c for Micro B https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-cs-fci/10118193-0001LF/2785388 43c for Type-C https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/gct/USB4105-GF-A/11198441 obviously ymmv with suppliers and quantities but this seems fairly representative. I know companies are cheap bastards but this seems like a no-brainer for anything but disposable knick-knacks.
