nah, they fired him i guess when he was arrested but all of his articles are about microsoft so uh vOv

i didn't realize his twitter handle was @drpizza until i saw atomicthumbs tweeting about it this morning, and this is firmly going in the bucket of "this simulation sucks". loving dr pizza? really? loving really writers? this is the best you can come up with?

The 8-bit Guy put out a video defending himself... exclusively on his Patreon. He did say in the post it could be linked elsewhere that his IBM Executive Workstation video is being discussed, so:

"and that now brings us to the next point of discussion, which was the paper clip. so a lot of people are enraged by that and i think there's a lot of armchair warriors out there right now that are um... what i mean by that"

i appreciate the irony of GN getting a lot of mileage out of of those gigabyte PSUs having less than ideal short protection, but gigabyte immediately goes "oh yeah, here's what's up" with the motherboard lol

e: the video's fine; however, the caveat is that "this is how RMAs used to work at newegg 15 years ago" and nominally describes an RMA process that isn't playing hot potato with a $500 motherboard and shipping poo poo with a manufacturer RMA sticker on it.

considering the stuff that they've been doing (the move, fan machine, no reason to do video card reviews anymore because there are no video cards, etc.), it's not like GN is super hard up for content and this fell into their lap.

obviously there's some work involved with attempting to get a refund and emails aren't free, but it's not sleeping at the office for 2 days to get the steamdeck review out the door.

i'm not going to insinuate that gamersnexus is in the pocket of big "please use the device as intended and designed", but the contents of the actual complaint is "well actually there's a 14.285714% (repeating) chance of plugging in the right 3 power cords blindly; therefore,"

It's also funny because a similar thing happened six months ago and got dropped quickly after he never mentioned it https://linustechtips.com/topic/148...ication-needed/

If the why is subjective, then it isn't all rock solid. The video mostly being right doesn't put it above criticism. I think that pulling quotes from employees saying they wish they had more time to make videos, without actually getting direct quotes specifically on the subject of the video, was irresponsible too. It's drawing a conclusion from those statements to GN's thesis without allowing the people saying those things from elaborating.

linus, you don't have to do this

You don't have to go back more than 1 week to find an example of how bad LTT testing is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wBxYQdN96s

They test some games with 3 youtube 4k videos playing in a browser, either behind a game on a single monitor or displayed on extra monitors.

Guess what a browser will do when its window is totally obscured behind a maximized window or full-screen game? Or if you power-save the display? It slows or stops rendering videos and updating the window. Because it knows you can't see anything!

So they didn't really test anything relevant to multiple monitors. They tested playing 3 videos versus having 3 semi-idle browsers in the background. To do this test *properly* you'd have to make sure the videos were actually displaying -- maybe play the game in a window that didn't take up the full screen and have the 3 youtubes poking out around it or something.

Just basic methodological failure to see an interesting result and say "wait, what does this really mean?"

you can also pin the integrated graphics to chrome if you want lol

they're gonna rediscover time sharing/dumb terminals soon

I'm specifically not saying he's blameless, I'm saying that him letting that happen under him is far worse than him personally telling her to calm her tits or whatever, because he's ultimately the one responsible for stopping it and yes as a terminal small business owner he will never admit enough fault to realize his employees are not perfecf.

Madison's story is the kind of bombshell information that can be discovered by interviewing current or former employees. If GN had reached out to her for her story, even anonymously, it would have been so much more affective than pulling quotes out of context. That's the kind of investigation I wish they'd done. Maybe they'll talk to a lot of people for a follow up video, but I worry that unless it's put in a video by a major channel that it's going to be unseen by the larger youtube audience.
