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.

Canine Blues Arooo posted: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

Endymion FRS MK1 posted: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. On the other hand, Tech Jesus is having none of it with the 3090 shenanigans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgs-VbqsuKo

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. This video was boring and the editing was boring. I want to see the mans make big faces at a TV and tell me how cool [PRODUCT] is. That's at least a fun video. /s

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.

Since we're talking about Linus as entertainment, I'm going to link my favorite LTT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YigN2mkQMPc 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.

"Here's this mysterious cable I don't understand the wiring on" It's blue, green/yellow and brown. Commonly accepted colours for neutral, earth, live. Why did that guy think that a chunky flex cable was just a switch line?

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?

At least he didn't gently caress with that brand new looking Model M keyboard, I guess.

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. Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Sep 26, 2020 |

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.
