Excellent. I've been hoping for a thread like this for awhile. I posted this in one of the other threads so: Linus has some tips for Steve on how to make GamersNexus better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uls6aeqXWBM (also actual commentary)

Theophany posted:https://www.ncix.com/detail/zalman-reserator-1-external-fanless-5a-11765.htm There were a couple episodes on LTT of Linus going to the NCIX liquidation auction and reminiscing. Apparently he was their watercooling order guy at some point, so he spends a bunch of time looking through box lots of old lovely fittings/et cetera and going "why did I EVER think anyone was going to buy this" including Reserator tubing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29LL3blOxds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDZfh5IjGv8

Yeah TechQuickie is great. A couple little issues here or there, but genuinely informative. Linus apparently also has a channel about just his cats, which is a treat. I liked these two videos of Tech Jesus exploring Tech Heaven Market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgNirAOLRDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPTfhqKHg3s

MaxxBot posted:Yeah this one is the most interesting theme yet, got a kick out of him being all excited about the phonebook only to find out 90% of the numbers were dead. I’m finally getting around to watching it and it is an incredible insane schaedenfreude machine. Scrapyard Wars is usually cringe inducing, but learning that people cannot operate at all without the Internet is a whole other level.

I cackled like a loving fiend at that PCI extender monstrosity that he was doing with more hardware than my life is worth - and yet was completely shut down by good old device identifier limits or whatever. Linus really shows that money doesn't mean sense.

K8.0 posted:There were allegations a few years back that multiple people at the top of the organization were involved in something extremely unsavory. At the time I just dismissed it as sour grapes from someone who got fired or something, but now I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to come. What organization? Ars Technica?

Harminoff posted:I Imagine if this was Apple instead of Microsoft LTT wouldn't be around any more. Did you actually watch the video? It's a response to a bunch of viewers freaking out at the activation notices and he walks them through how activating doesn't make any sense for temporary demo machines, explains his licensing and shows how he keeps licenses on hand for those machines, they just don't get activated. It's a clickbait title and sane video, which is the same as most LTT content; it's explaining why and how he wouldn't get sued/he's fine if he gets audited, etc. He's not actually a pirate, it just looks that way to the uninformed.

Wirth1000 posted: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! i'm not being some idiot for canadian patriotism, "don't gently caress with quebec" is basically an unspoken rule in Canada

Arivia posted:linus had better hope none of these shirts period ever sell to a quebecker or he's in for some real hard poo poo running a small time lottery for local people is not uncommon or illegal in Canada, 50/50 draws are common at sporting events and community stuff all over (well, pre-pandemic) but it's local and small that's not what linus is doing and if he fucks with quebec they will murder his company as an example (Canada has very very heavy strict interprovincial trade laws)

MrOnBicycle posted:I read the OP and sorry you can't just say that someone is persona non grata without telling me why and expect me to not be curious as hell and ask why. he's a texas CHUD which was already bad enough but awhile back he got a prototype IBM computer to work on, very very rare, and proceeded to gently caress it up in pretty much every way possible doing the most absurdly stupid boneheaded basic idiot things like using a dremel to remove case screws instead of just buying a security bit from his local hardware store then deliberately shorted the entire system as "troubleshooting" then he went "oh well, this one didn't work, I guess I'll get another one and see if that one's in better shape" and proceeded to gently caress up the rest of that set of prototypes too so politically he wasn't great, then he proved himself super unworthy of the trust and authority people gave him, and his response was to basically go "no gently caress you you're not my dad, trump's my dad" to the community at large watching him is kind of awkward now because he gets cool video ideas and does cool things but he's proven himself to be a giant loving idiot in every aspect so you can't trust ANYTHING he says or that his work is actually worthwhile

Guitarchitect posted:I figured it was probably "Global Affiliate Zone" - had a similar thing happen two years ago. Family friend posting endlessly on social media about his passive income, seemed very MLM-y, so when he made a "contact me" post I thought I'd reach out for kicks. He sent me his link and pestered me a bit afterwards about it... despite him being a family friend and me knowing him since I was an infant, there was literally zero "omg hi it's been so long how are you?" - it was just straight down to business. Essentially what GAZ does is show you how to run an "online business" and they basically fully set it up for you based upon a "product". they say oh, this will work for anything and you don't have to use this product, but everything is made as an example for this product. So you'd be stupid not to just use it for the product it was designed for. Okay I guess a post about those stupid ads for affiliate marketing that run before the YouTube tech idiot I actually want to watch is on topic
