So glad I found this thread, I follow way too many terrible PC youtube channels for my own good. Happy to see the universal praise for Steve aka tech jesus. :)

Just watched an entertaining one from him reviewing one of the most idiotic cases ever.

Gopros actually make biking footage look much more tame than it is, the wide angle makes everything look much flatter than reality.


This is so true. I'm just a mtb beginner and like to check out footage of trails I'm planning to ride. Reality is always much steeper and scarier than Gopro footage.

Linus Tech Tips did another insanely expensive and pointless project, this time an Xbox controller made of solid gold (which is so fragile it can only be handled with cloth gloves):


Between this and buying $50k of GameStop stock it's a wonder Linus's wife hasn't divorced him yet.

On the WAN show he mentioned he was spending so much because he really wanted these videos to go viral. Judging by the amount of views so far it's just another average LTT video.

Can anyone recommend a good tech podcast similar to the WAN show? Covering PC hardware / gaming and general tech news?

I like Luke but I'm finding Linus to be more and more jarring. The one where he watches a streamer watching his video was the final straw for me.

well why not posted:

It's a lot easier to turn down 100 million if you already have several millions and a pipeline to several more. That was his point when he said he couldn't get a bigger house or a faster car.

Yeah that's true.
Also, Linus doesn't strike me as someone who has many friends, hobbies or interests outside LMG. Giving it all up for a large sum of money is a big ask.

But I do agree that Luke definitely comes across as the most likeable of the LMG crew.

Maybe he's just been paired with Linus for too long and has normalised his idiocy and toxic behaviour.

Sheesh, I made 33%+ more 10 years ago in Metro Van just doing web frontend, 50%+ more by the time I left the job 4 years later, and I was still being finessed vs. my worth. What an absolute joke. Even the game studios in Van paid better back then. No wonder every time they do an extreme tech upgrade, they're in some cramped condo or apartment. I'm shocked we're not seeing more basement suites at that point.

Haha that's always stuck out to me. Every tech upgrade they did it's usually some tiny shoebox apartment or basement. It's quite jarring when the next video is Linus flailing around like a monkey in his GroverMcMansion.
