Some Goon posted:I believe you, given that he's a navy brat, but got a link? I don't Twitter and have a morbid interest in seeing peoples stupidity. looks like he deleted. there was a significant amount of backlash. i think the dude has morals and i appreciate his ethics regarding sponsors and what he is willing to take money to shill, but his post was a pretty poor choice and his responses weren't much better.

I like the "read off an A4" style because it fits what Steve is all about. He's the complete opposite of Linus. Linus is all about theatrics and everything has to be dramatic. Steve just gives it to you straight. I put on his recaps when I'm doing dishes or whatever. Also, his undramatic dead pan deliveries mean that when he gets heated about something it actually matters. GN takedowns are infinitely more effective and meaningful than those of other channels. But, at the same time it is fun when they do break from it so I can understand the comment wishing they'd do it more. I'd just hate for them to become tryhard like many of the other tech channels. GN will always hold the award for the most viscerally disturbing 40 seconds of PC hardware content ever filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWVVTY63hc

Rabid Snake posted:I think its more of the fact that asians get harassed all the time with people mocking them by talking to them in a fake asian accent. I know at school people would do that to bully asians. Its kind of like the Apu accent in the Simpsons. I know Indians who got heavily bullied with the Apu accent in school too. They would speak with an american accent but kids would mimic the apu accent when talking to them. Also Asians are not a single homogenous block with identical shared experiences. I won't pretend to know his background but he appears to be born in the US/Canada and is fairly integrated. Making fun of Asians who have accidents is still hosed up, even if he is Asian, because he's not a recent immigrant and doesn't have to deal with all the bullshit that they do. Learning a new language is hard, and if you learn/move as an adult you will likely never rid yourself of the accent. That on top of the other racist stereotypes he piles on with his character makes it pretty gross. It's an attempt to push down those that came later and weren't lucky enough to be born here. Kind of like the anti-immigrant stance that exists in a lot of the Cuban-American community in Miami. It's using your position of privilege to bully and belittle those who came after you.

People love a charming, personable shill. Some of the most popular tech/review channels are nothing but shills (the most egregious of which being Unbox Therapy on the extreme end with folks like Marques Brownlee in the grey area of "seems legit but deep down is just a shill").

The entire point of the exercise is to find pre-builts that could be recommended to non-computer people, since not every computer-knower wants to build and support a system for all their friends and family. So, even if parts were purchasable at retail prices (or at all), you also have to factor in support/warranty on top of labor. The point is not to find the exact parts you want but somehow cheaper in a pre-built.

The "think of the kids" thing is bullshit. Twitch's content rules are already more strict that Youtube's. If you think Twitch is a danger to your children then your children should not be online unsupervised because every single one of them is on Youtube. The fact that most of the anti-women-in-bikinis rants are from single childless men shows how shallow it is. It is just another way to try to keep women down. Men are angry that the site has moved from gaming to "Just Chatting", and now it is full of women in "their domain". What Twitch SHOULD do is enforce the "mature content" filters. EVIL Gibson posted:Its hard for parents to monitor their kids today. This is a terrible argument. The same unsupervised kids who have access to their parent's cards can also just hop on any porn site. I'm not even a boomer and even I had access to the boomer equivalent of internet porn as a child: a plastic bag full of porn mags discarded in the woods behind the bus stop

Canine Blues Arooo posted:This is just not true. I have no horse in this race and I also don't really like Twitch, but that is just a dumb thing to say and does nothing to help fix the actual underlying issues at play here. What do you view as the underlying issues? Seeing as you don't like Twitch, perhaps you are not aware of what the actual arguments being made are? Because there are a LOT of on record rants from male streamers targeting women for "having it easy" on Twitch and lamenting the downfall of Twitch from a place for gamers to what it is today. Not to mention the harassment from viewers. If the argument really is about social decency, then perhaps they should do a better job policing the hate in their community before they worry about women wearing the wrong clothes. EDIT: This culture war has been going on for at least half a decade on Twitch. The hot tub category is not the primary or sole issue here. The hot tub category is Twitch trying to compromise and find a place for multiple, often incompatible, segments of their community.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:I don't work for Twitch or Amazon, but I've been close enough to issues like this that I feel that I can ID the root cause with a very high degree of confidence: Advertisers. Thanks for a well thought out reply that is a lot more informative than "that is a dumb thing to say". Twitch's motivations, as you lay them out, are totally unrelated to all the previous points in this thread, and all the points being raised by Twitch's community. Even if Twitch's motivations are solely advertising related (which I'll concede is probably likely), the conversation in the community (and in this thread so far) is not about their advertising, but it is about social decency, policing women, and misogynists being angry. You're looking solely at Twitch's decision to create a new category from a business/industry standpoint, and completely ignoring what conversations are happing as a result of that decision. So I'll retract the part of my post that says Twitch created hot tub streaming as a compromise. Either way, its mere existence has fanned the flames. The conversation out there is still about morality, not about advertising. "Think of the children" is stupid here.

As someone who mods for a woman streamer that dresses conservatively, I can anecdotally say that she gets a lot more "woman shouldn't play video games, you are poo poo. go back to the kitchen" comments than sexual harassment as a result of bikini streamers existing. And the sexual harassment would happen regardless of the presence of bikini streamers. Women literally can't go anywhere on the internet and not get comments from dudes telling them to show off their tits. That sexual harassment is a deep cultural issue related to the internet that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not there are women who wear bikinis or yoga pants on Twitch. To tie this back to the thread's actual content, I have honestly been really impressed with Linus' channel and community for the level of support women presenters get in the comments. I'm sure there is a lot of hate that gets deleted but I haven't seen any of it yet.

Licarn posted:The streamers that have complained about the hot-tub and ASMR metas are the likes of Pokimane and Malena who are big enough that they show up near these streams in the directory and in the recommended bar for them, and the big ASMR-specific streamers like CopyKat who show up right next to them when they're in that category. Which is exactly why Twitch should enforce proper tagging and categorizing or streams. They should also enforce the mature content toggle, not just for women writing people's names on their thighs, but also for the guys with 1.5 million followers and 10k+ active subs going off about "fingerbanging chicks" and talking about dicks and other sexual content. It's absolutely understandable that people don't want to be associated with such content, and it is up to Twitch to properly categorize and serve up the content to who they want to see it. There is absolutely nothing immoral or even indecent about writing donors names on your body and licking a microphone, so it is pretty disingenuous to get all worked up about it on a site where you can watch ultraviolent games or listen to highly sexual ranting and other questionable poo poo, including borderline if not outright radicalizing content. Most of all Twitch needs to be clear. One of the big issues is that they arbitrarily ban people for poo poo that everyone else is doing. Their content rules are specifically vague and their enforcement is sporadic and inconsistent. If they want to decide that Twitch is not the space for such content, then they need to make their policy clear. Until them, lay the blame on Twitch for failing to manage their content properly rather than getting all worked up about people doing whatever they can to earn a living in a highly competitive and hosed up market.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:I don’t think it’s fair to stay that LTT shouldn’t do content like that because lovely channels like MKBHD exist. Honestly, LTT not doing low and mid range stuff is a blessing because it leaves room in the market for smaller but quality channels that can't do the high end stuff and would be stomped by LTT's videos about low/mid stuff.

The Grumbles posted:I mean, I feel like your second point kind of undercuts your first there. You don't have to be an expert in all things tech to be a tech journalist, as you say, and it's fairly likely that the publication said "pc building videos are ranking high on SEO right now, you need to do one pronto", and he wasn't given the time or resources to properly do his research. When you're early career in a hyper competitive enthusiast press you'll probably feel a huge amount of pressure to do what you're told. The pressure to wing it instead of passing up the job as a young guy with one of the few jobs in a dying but coveted industry will be immense. The company deserves the lion's share of the blame, but if you're somebody who is seriously thinking about making it as a media personality you can't just say yes to everything. He presented himself as an expert, while not being an expert, and he ate poo poo for it. Even if the response was again at the orders of the company, he sacrificed his ability to have any kind of future in tech media by letting them throw him under the bus. I do wish him all the best in his redemption tour and I don't think anybody deserves any form of hate dogpiling from the internet but that really was a bad video and his response was real bad, too. It's going to be hard for him to reclaim any kind of credibility - but it's possible.

Three Olives posted:The thing that always seems missing from the "right to repair" argument is why devices became less repairable in the first place, at least consumer electronics, consumers liked them better. If you are in the market for a Surface or MacBook Air, the service allowed for them is probably perfectly fine, it breaks, you drop it off at the Apple Store, you get a "new" working computer/iPhone/watch, whatever. The right to repair argument is less about devices becoming more difficult to repair due to tighter tolerances and more about manufacturers making it impossible for knowledgeable owners or third parties to repair a device through design (Apple, John Deere, and the McDonald's ice cream machine company are some of the most guilty of this). Putting a new, working battery into my phone should not break the camera - but Apple has designed part serial systems that arbitrarily disable key features when someone other than Apple repairs the device.

SCheeseman posted:The box has connections for USB audio, analog and optical that can be switched between either on the box or the headset. The headphones have BT that can be used independently (A2DP/HFP only so pretty useless for games) as well as analog audio inputs that can be used unpowered. Can it handle multiple inputs at once? Right now I have two PCs going through my (Corsair) headphones by running a cable from the line out of one into the line in of the one with the headphones and then just listening to the line-in in Windows. Not ideal. Those would be perfect if they could output multiple devices at once.

Linus' channel has never really been about budget stuff so I'm not sure why people are surprised that the channel that is all about petabytes of data storage and 16k gaming is posting weird out of touch/bad taste financial poo poo. I'm curious if people will follow him for the hardcore data stuff that they just built a big lab for - I go to Steve @ GN when I want data. Linus is for tech flavored dumb entertainment.

His life was flashing before his eyes as he watched Linus not shutting the gently caress up and smuggly bumbling through a PR disaster that could very easily ended up just like the Artesian Builds one. We've talked at length in this thread about how totally out of touch Linus is, and this is just more proof of it. Dude can't shut up and dude can't read the room.

Linus didn't mention it but the YT chat for basically the entire 3 hour show was people arguing about whether Linus is good or bad. edit: I've never actually watched a WAN show and just kind of jumped around randomly in this one to see what the chat is like. Maybe the chat in every single WAN show is just people arguing about whether Linus is good or bad.
