^^^ I loled when they did that in the video. Also to be fair when they said that in the launch presentation. Also when this one showed up in my recommendations after searching for banggood drill reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wwia_aRL0c

After getting over Tech deals hair and teeth, I really enjoy him. Even with his home shopping network like delivery. But I also know poo poo-all about the nitty gritty of computer tech.

To be fair to the tech deals guy, some of the original micro-stutter research by the TR and PCPer guys (they quit their sites) was very difficult to do with standard frame logging. There was that special equipment nvidia developed to see it that involved capturing high-speed video and analyzing each frame to see what was actually happening on the display, because fraps or even internal game logging wasn't accurate to that level. But OTOH I dunno if the techdeals guy is testing poo poo with any extra-special methods himself. If what he's calling "micro-stutter" is what everyone else calls "1% lows" then he's wildly off base. And on the third hand IMO micro-stutter -- the real micro-stutter not 1% low frames -- is the biggest loving boogieman. Even back 5-10 years ago, when it was much worse and a thing you could point out in the data, it was like whoooooooo gives a poo poo. Micro-stutter only shows up when your framerate is significantly higher than your screen refresh rate. Turn on vsync and poof it's gone. The research into how you detect stuff like that was really neat, but the results only matter to people who care more about jerking it to benchmarks than playing games.

Tech Deals has some great no-nonsense purchasing advice. A lot of his videos are super long though but he gets really nerdy about bang for buck and I appreciate it.

I’m really loving tired of Linus‘s teeshirt lottery scam. He’s doing another limited run of T-shirts and people are straight up asking if this one has a prize connected he’s like” oh no no no no no I would never do such a thing but if you buy the shirt something might happen.” They deserve to have Canada‘s legal arm up their rear end for this, it is obvious what’s going on here.

Sorry I’m not excited about people scamming children on youtube with gambling schemes? Some Goon posted:Gonna need some background there. People are buying Linus's shirts? At some point during the pandemic he decided to have a giveaway where some shirts would be different and then those people would win some prizes. Then the very same evening he decided that he announced another limited run but definitely not guaranteeing the same thing would happen because that would be super illegal, according to him. Now every single shirt is a limited run where he winks at the camera and says that he can’t promise anything but something might happen if you buy it. It’s loving loot crates for YouTube.

Yeah this is a whole thing among techies right now, retro game reproduction carts do a similar thing. Like the reproduction run of Street Fighter 2 carts where some people would randomly get a translucent green cart instead of a regular grey one.

cage-free egghead posted:It's buying a tangible item with the chance of something extra. That's not gambling lol It’s illegal to announce there’s a chance of getting something extra according to him when he did it the first time which is why he couldn’t announce it before he sold all the shirts. Seems like a pretty fun and fair competition when done like that. (The first time) Then 10 minutes later he announced that they were going to do another limited run of T-shirts that have a picture of a keyboard on the front but “definitely not confirming that this is another contest.” The 300 shirts sold out in minutes and they were all gone before the show ended. Edit: In a lot of ways this is way shittier than it being upfront and openly a contest but apparently that’s illegal according to him. spunkshui fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Nov 8, 2020 |

It’s not illegal, he would just have to do a lot more work to do it legally, especially internationally.

Let's get REAL MAD that this Canadian company based in British Columbia advertises the poo poo out of their store and as a PROUD CANADIAN the store is in all US Dollars and probably even ships from AMERICA. Where's the justice in that, Linus? Sounds like dilution of Canadian culture and businesses which is probably breaking a bunch of provincial and federal laws. I'm writing a letter to Horgan & Trudeau as we speak!
