tbh the LTTStore merch is kind of a bad example to use for this conversation because the logos tend to be pretty subdued and they are genuinely doing interesting design work. Same for the GN merch. Compare this to sites like GiantBomb and Nextlander which plaster a big "GIANTBOMB.COM" right up front.

Tumi stuff is really well made for as good as it looks. My bag that I’ve traveled with for years and years looks brand new. I just picked up a new one that started at $600 but hit the outlets a year later at $200 Having a bunch of smart compartments for electronics, cables, and bottles really helps keep things organized and clean when traveling

CoolCab posted:bud i wasn't attacking you or your purchase, but their product placement decision in the market. i entirely legit don't care about high end backpacks so i don't say that to be snotty i am totally unironically ignorant maybe they're launching the apple for backpacks and the pricing is a steal i have no way of knowing. i'm sorry do you want to wager, like if you'll pay me i'll see if i can go dig up statistics on the average per unit sale cost of a backpack i bet it's a hell of a lot closer to 25 than 250 and i am very critical of linus tech tips ability to command the same premium pricing as your market dominant Calvin Klein high end designer of the backpack market (whoever that is). i mean poo poo it's 2022 and this is an influencer culture, who knows. it's your money and if you can swing it i hope it's a good backpack, legit i wasn't being lovely, but i still am incredibly cynical about it - i think it's going to enter a rough market with consumer spending on a massive downturn globally. I still think you’re talking about it like it has a giant print of Linus’ face winking at you instead of the letters “LTT” in a small patch

The Grumbles posted:Edit: I just listened to the WAN show clip and it's kind of a wild take. His argument for not providing a warranty is that if he died tomorrow he wouldn't want his wife to feel obliged to run the company, thus going through the trauma of seeing her dead husband's face over all the branding (he actually said this), which is the situation he'd be creating by providing a legally binding obligation to repair his expensive backpack over the next 10 years. What the heck

The "INTEL GAVE US $9,000 TO SPEND ON A GAMING MACHINE" genre of videos could not be less interesting to me, since they invariably show off some relatively minor performance gain with tech that simply hasn't realized the benefit of manufacturing efficiencies.

The only thing that appears to have actually happened was Linus inviting her to his hotel at nighttime, presumably to discuss floatplane, which may have been well-intentioned or not but either way she was understandably uncomfortable with accepting. Everything besides that seems to be a mix of internet drama, lashing out, hyperbole, sarcasm, and warring fanbases. There are obviously no substantial or serious accusations happening. In short I now think they should both shut the gently caress up.

CoolCab posted:and why would she possibly lie about the emails and then not lie about the fact she hosed up and didn't send them? doesn't make any sense. That should really be the end of the story, because it completely undermines this years-long tale of "How can I really know that I wasn't being shut out because I turned down his advances???" I don't really believe that somebody who actually cared about getting onto the video network would make some "whoops I forgot to send the emails" mistake but whatever.

Nobody steal this idea.

I’ve bought a couple sets of Black and Decker ratcheting screwdriver kits but they both broke because they use a metal band and ball bearing to hold the bits in and that wears out pretty quickly I’ve got a Wera one on my list now
