Not bad Youtube, only took me 5 times of flagging not interested and 5 page refreshes to get rid of Linus in my recommendations just because I subbed a retro PC channel. ...and now he's back again in the list.

64bit_Dophins posted:I feel like Unbox Therapy also doesn't really know anything about the things he talks about. His videos are just like "omg look how cheap this Android phone is" and the entire video could just be summed up with the thumbnail. That fucker shows up in the recs in any video that is remotely consumer tech related. YT really likes pushing their megamillions yet trashy low-effort superstars.

I could care less about his gimmick, I just want to stop seeing his clickbaity face over and over in my YT recs whenever I watch aything tangentially related to PC hardware, despite flagging him as not interested for the zillionth time.

Thanks Ants posted:These YouTube channels with a gently caress-ton of cash flow seem to be about one advertising algorithm change away from bankruptcy. Especially as they move away from being original content that people want, and towards being popular for being popular. I hope that day comes ASAP since: 1. The tears from clickbaiters who tied themselves up to a non-guaranteed source of income will be delicious 2. Without them anyway, there will still be no shortage of creators making actually good content

K8.0 posted:I do not understand what the point of the product is. It's inferior to a plain screwdriver for PC building, and lacking a torque mechanism it's not a great general nerd dicking around tool, so what exactly is it? Torque drivers are actually a wide open market where every existing product is deeply flawed and a $100 torque driver that was actually accurate would probably sell to all kinds of markets, not just LTT fans. A high end pair of #1 and #2 screwdrivers might also sell, most of the products on the market today kinda suck because they tend to have handles that react to something or another and wind up being horrible to use if you expose them to the wrong thing. But this product? I don't know who the hell would actually buy that. I had used some of the cheapest and shittiest screwdrivers for PCs and never had a problem. Unless of course if you have an OCD at overtightening everything. Same for my $20 Chinese generic multimeter, it's great for everything except handling 2000V surges which is a moot point when I only work with equipment that tops out at 230V and it's a rare occurrence anyway. Even if HV protection is important I still have a $40 Kyoritsu one that does the job. Palladium fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Aug 28, 2022 |

It's just that the big box sellers still use that cheap Dell/Gateway/HP thin aluminum tooling with new siding every iteration. There's even been a few in GN's prebuild reviews recently. My firsthand experience with >2013 HP SFFs is they are wonderful to work with and feels pretty solid. Palladium fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Sep 12, 2022 |

Mr.Radar posted:On the WAN Show, Linus just announced he's planning to launch a Spanish version of the channel. That wouldn't be too unusual, but they are LTT so of course they're doing it differently: they plan to use machine learning to transcribe their videos, machine translate the transcription, and then synthesize a new voiceover. He gave a quick demo and it was pretty dire, especially the voiceover. The chat was practically begging Linus to just use subtitles instead. im pretty sure there are comedy channels entirely dedicated to machine translate content back and forth multiple times

I would imagine that if you were to calculate a metric comparing the total hours of use per pound of ewaste, Stadia's server hardware would be far more efficient in that regard than home gaming PCs that generously see a few hours of use each day. just my 1070 doing exactly nothing when powered on at 11W probably draws 4x the power of my phone viewing youtube
