I always thought Linus was annoying but tolerable, but this Jake guy is terrible and should not be allowed in front of the camera. Case in point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiHs8Wg_ZhE

I actually like Jake because he clearly doesn’t put up with Linus’s poo poo. Apparently they hired him after he verbally berated a few of their videos and he’s their youngest staff member

I love how they have at least two lots, several sets and some other big spaces yet they have their editors cooped in that tiny den.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo3lUw9GUJA This came up in my rec's and I'm super glad I watched it. It's great how this lad is super casual with his state of dress, but his rundown and presentation is really good! Reminds my why I liked youtube in the first place. Looking back at 90's rendering warms my heart. Also....16gb of 1993 ram!

In this one Linus is actively trying to make his editor's lives worse just to save a buck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riSffWEtrF0 Keep in mind this is the same person who did THIS to an $80,000 RED Digital Cinema camera: ![]()

There's a perfectly serviceable option called bcache on Linux. It does in particular what he's wishing for in regards to new incoming data. But I guess that wouldn't make much of a video.

It's weird because he's not so atrociously dumb that he couldn't pick it up, he just chooses to keep his head immersed in the Wintel world. Possibly because, like a lot of voices of experience about hardware, he sees everything's peak potential as being "for gamers" and doesn't care to learn a drat thing about the enterprise environment his businesses nonetheless has to adopt to work properly. Linus just seems like the kind of guy who would use a 2080ti and a motherboard with "Gamers Rise UP" emblazoned in RGB to run a simple database server. It works only because his audience is predominately people more impressed by gaming FPS charts than any other sort of benchmark. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Mar 5, 2019 |

Are there good summaries of LTT videos so you don't actually have to watch them if there isn't anything entertaining in them. Other than this thread of course.

Thing is that technology isn't really expensive as their products are fair prices, it's more the cost of the media, but, you know, why pay a reasonable price for something that will work out of the box when you could make something poo poo.

He used an ASRock gaming mother board and consumer everythin, to run 3X raids in a raid. And then when it stopped working because it’s obviously a massive hack, he was flabbergasted that it was his only copy of some Data.

I think I'm all Linus'ed out. I don't know if it's just overexposure but the only thing that keeps me watching is Riley.

Probably the most inspirational video I watched was when he made a space for the kids under the stairs with the tv fixed on an angle and a floor cushion to sit on. I ended up getting a floor cushion for my media room, excellent for watching a projector. Perhaps they could do some more fun stuff like outdoor projection on the buildings, but they don't seem to bother. It's almost like their production schedule has hurt the content.

I like Nexus for how in depth it is but the guy sounds so disinterested when he speaks. It's like the opposite of Linus. I do enjoy the LMG behind the scenes stuff.

I wish Nexus guy cleaned himself up a bit. He looks like he crawled out from a goon den. That said the quality of his content is pretty good. Most of the stuff goes over my head but he sums up the important points very well. He also seems to value trust of his viewers, so much so that he released this 25 minute cringe-train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3n80GxU-Zs CoolerMaster gave him a factory tour, a review case with custom filter, and literal pounds of candy filled inside. He ends up having his team spend twice as long reviewing this case to find something, anything redeeming about this case because it was performing badly in everything. After failing to find anything of positive substance, he releases this video where he pretty thoroughly reviews it, showing all the flaws, and looking genuinely upset that he's going to ruin at least a few people's days.

He's preserving, in some way, classic video transmission tech. There are clever aspects to his videos too, like his VHS episode that demonstrated SP/LP/SLP.

Speaking of Linus, I'm actually enjoying them rotating hosts now and it's not just Linus for every god drat thing. If anything I consider him the weakest link in terms of hosting for numerous reasons. Hell, even Dennis is more enjoyable.

I think they are just putting out videos that were shot while he was on vacation and eventually he’ll be back full time on the videos again.

This was honestly great because he clearly loving knows what he's doing and he did it in a pretty fun and amusing way even though the choice of case was absolutely atrocious and probably choked the gently caress out of thermals but oh well.

Yeah it is kinda arguable you're actually ahead on price to performance, but I was impressed with that one. Lots of little tips people don't think about and friendly delivery.

Thanks to LGR I now know that the strange staccato cadence of the 'default' text to speech voice in the 90s was actually just how the guy who made it talked. I had always assumed it was a software limitation.
