I don't have a link but Steve mentioned on one video I remember that he he chose the name for the site 'very early' and basically regrets it now

That's the first LTT video I actively avoided. Like normally if it's a dumb concept I'll at least keep it as background noise in case something dumb/interesting happens. But this was a misstep

Watched the first couple of minutes and I honestly don't know if he's being sarcastic or not when he literally goes "So Eaton said we have to have a bunch of clearance behind the UPS for airflow I guess so I knocked out a wall and made this space behind it, which is great cause now I can store all this poo poo in there!" and also still having 3" thick sound deadening still there where the wall was.

What kind of name is Linus anyways?

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.

Merch has always been everything in the creative scene. If you ever wanted to actually support a band buying their CD is cool and all but going to their gig and buying their shirts is way better. It's not surprising that Youtube creators have discovered the same.

When working on tube amps(guitar kinds) generally you only probe with one hand and leave the other behind your back. The tubes can get 400-500v going on.

It's great that Linus (who is arguably the most shilly of techtubers) feels the need to declare that he's" not an anticapitalist activist" in his pro Right to Repair video to reassure the chud section of his fanbase.

Linus is good to his audience but he treats his employees like poo poo on camera

Did Linus say LTT wouldn't review laptops, or that he wouldn't review laptops?

Can people please stop flipping back and forth from extreme to extreme and inventing positions no one holds?

Also no one is wrong or bad for wanting a modular phone or a modular laptop or to tinker with stuff you deem "unusual" to tinker with. This attitude of shaming people for wanting to mess with stuff is super weird and the way it slowly crept in from being nonsense into being consensus is loving creepy.

^^ we posted at the same time but yes obviously I'm not talking about returning a PS5 but replacing it with a load of bricks in the box first, and I don't think that other poster was either. I think it was more like people trying to RMA the xbox where their kid filled the DVD drive with cream cheese, to which my response is hell yeah RMA it see what happens. But also yeah like if you're gonna fill your car glove box with a million free pencils from ikea then absolutely go for it.

When I worked in bars we'd give out so many free drinks to all our friends because we knew that unsold wet stock would eventually go bad and be thrown out and the cost of all that was priced in, and because we knew the owners were raking it in anyway. This is technically theft, but is also actually a perk of the job.

What I'm saying is it's pretty obvious whether or not it's kosher to steal office supplies (so to speak) from a company depending on the company and product. The online retailers currently selling GPUs for way over MSRP as fast as they can stock them are probably okay to steal office supplies from.

It's almost as if in giveaways, just like gambling, the house always wins.

There's also some video floating around where he pronounces it the Americanized way, probably because the Linux Foundation is incorporated as a 501c6 in the US (ie. a board/chamber of commerce, where corporations pay to enter), and as such has a trademark.

In today's hardware news, Steve is saying they really enjoyed the Newegg RMA story, have learned a lot more about Artesian Builds, and will be doing a follow up along the same lines; they want to do more occasional journalism (his word) pieces like this every few months.

If it was anyone else I would be concerned, but instead I'm just excited? glad?

I think that trying to judge whether LTT is a fun or lovely (or both!) place to work based on the youtube videos is like trying to judge whether a movie set was a fun or lovely environment based on watching the movie.

I said the same earlier itt and someone replied that they also have an external HR firm, which might be the place an employee with a HR problem would go.

If the previous owner didn't include the safety equipment in the sale contract, that's on Linus not reading the fine print. Commercial sales contracts usually include just the building and little else.

Did TechLinked used to have a pre-LMG life or something? I was looking at powered USB hubs on Amazon and noticed a video on this listing featuring a familiar host wearing a t-shirt with a familiar logo, and I'm wondering how on earth this came to be. edit: Jono is there too! Does LMG do instructional/promotional tech videos for hire or something?

I got the impression that these premium costed tools from LTT are aimed at people who have never bought or considered spending a large amount of money on something like this and thus have no frame of reference and have never done any research on what a premium version from a company that regularly manufactures these items would actually cost.
