Criss-cross posted:If you want a piece of quality luggage, don't buy merch items, buy actually well-regarded products that stand on their own merits, instead. Some Youtuber's drop shipping store isn't going to have the best items. To be fair, LTT Store is like the furthest thing from drop shipping as you can get. They definitely keep stock as much as they can, they usually don't even accept pre-orders and, as far I know, they only do pre-orders for the backpack because fans have been hounding them to. Plus, I'm pretty sure the orders they take are for units that are already somewhere in the manufacturing process. Ever since they opened LTT Store I've had the feeling that it's just Linus designing things that he wants and subsidizing the cost to fans. LTT-branded boxer briefs don't make a whole lot of sense, but maybe in like 1999 he had one pair of underwear that he really liked and could never find it again so he had someone design his perfect pair and now you can buy it too! I have no doubt that his stuff is expensive because there's quite a bit of design and quality manufacturing in them, but it also means that it's at the same price point than regular mid-high grade equivalent which have a longer track record of making the same thing and, yeah, isn't branded by a tech influencer. On the other hand, if what you really want is to give money to Linus, you could do worse than getting a very nice desk mat or water bottle in exchange.

Arivia posted:the backpack is $250 USD, right? Sometimes I watch/listen to their podcast when I work out and some people pay like a hundred bucks for YouTube superchats that literally haven't done anything for almost a year now. At first I thought it was hosed up to "force" people to buy merch to have their question read on the show, but obviously people are going to throw money at the guy, so at least that ensures that they get a water bottle or desk mat in return.

Jesus dude, if you're really "working on something" take the L, admit you were wrong and shut the gently caress up.

I would expect 10th gen CPUs in the lineup of an integrator that's been around for at least 2 years and still needs to get rid of their old stock, not from a startup. Why did they even buy those?

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Linux tech tips Hilarious story: Back in the day LTT would show up in my YouTube recommendations but I wouldn't watch it because I thought it said "Linux tech tips". Edit: kliras posted:i also don't think people have a problem with how much money he has; if anything, he doesn't flaunt it enough like other "influencers". so we end up with the "cool boss" image instead. this also helps him wave away scandals with him being "clumsy", which is also a typical nerd excuse CordlessPen fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Aug 12, 2022 |

power crystals posted:Linus showing off his literal mansion is hilarious when most of the people in the intel tech upgrade videos are living in a tiny apartment if not still living with their parents. It's especially bad for Anthony who's been there since the beginning, is 10 times as knowledgeable as Linus but lives in a basement apartment.

kliras posted:speaking of the spectrum of shilling vs reviewing, df have always occupied a weird middle position I always wondered if there was something going on between DF and Microsoft/XBox because I think I remember their videos in the "PS4 Pro / One X" era often being worded funny to favour the XBox console(s), like spending 4 times as long comparing the One X with the Pro, then all but dismiss the PS4 vs One S (and the regular, pre-One-S Xbox One just disappeared) or focusing on resolution over framerate when the One X favoured the former and the Pro the latter. Might just have been in my head, plus I don't notice it anymore in the PS5/Series era.

forest spirit posted:the host - probably also works as a script writer for other shows on LTT, gets paid prolly 40~50k? I am cockeyed on salaries in Vancouver. Probably paid more if also an editor? Not sure if you mean the equivalent of 40k-50k USD because 40k CAD doesn't cover much more than rent in Vancouver. Then again it would explain a lot of what we've seen on Intel Tech Upgrades.

Anthony's the saddest case but I seem to remember a lot of mom's basement and roommates. Not to say roommates are bad or anything but I wouldn't expect someone who helped Linus become a literal millionaire to need one.

Rubellavator posted:Linus' house is basically groverhaus 2.0 I really don't think he cares, at least not at the moment, but things might get a bit awkward when he eventually sells his tech mansion and realizes that the average person doesn't care that he spent $10k for infrastructure that allows you to heat your pool with the dissipated heat of your home server rack. "And here we have the LAN basement, I ran fiber through the walls and ceiling to a KVM that switches between here and the upstairs office" "Oh, cool... My wife has a MacBook for work but the kids and I have iPads" To be fair he already knows that and he's just having fun building his dream house; I'm just hoping that he fails like I hope every rich person fails and then has to squeeze every penny from his internet café home.

BurritoJustice posted:Just don't use GHub, use the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager. It's a minimal app they made so that eSports gamers can change their mouse settings while on tournament PCs, it eschews all the flash app poo poo in favour of basic functionality. Yeah, I really love OMM. I haven't tried all mouse software but the ones I have have all been garbage. If anything I think even GHub is kinda good compared to SteelSeries' GG or loving Glorious Core (which Windows detects as unsafe, and I tend to agree).
