TechLinked is my fav channel now even tho it's only a few weeks old. Bitwit is a decent channel. I became a fan of him when he did a video where he tested front mount radiator placement vs top mount, with data. Jayztwocents rubs me the wrong way, I really dislike that guy. Dimitri from hardware canucks is cool.

Wirth1000 posted:I always hear mixed things about Hardware Canucks usually along the lines of that they're easily influenced by companies to give recommendations for otherwise poo poo products that other reviewers poo poo on for being poo poo. I've generally kind of avoided them for that reason which is a failure on my part I suppose. Maybe. I like his videos "best cases of 2016" etc, they seem straightforward and unbiased. Their mech keyboard review videos suck tho and the other guy on that channel does this whispery monotone that bores me to tears

Methylethylaldehyde posted:In some states they've ruled that clickwrap software EULAs are non-binding and generally unenforceable, so it would be really interesting to have someone in those states tell them "rear end in a top hat Software Inc. vs. Joe Q. Public says that your agreement I have to sign is worth less then the toilet paper I use to wipe my rear end, so kindly go gently caress yourselves". If a company argues the software license is invalid then they lose permission to use the software and end up committing copyright infringement anyway. I'm not a Microsoft apologist but they have this game wrapped up pretty tightly. Almost all companies will roll over and comply with the audit rather than go to court.

Wirth1000 posted:2) LTT has somehow gotten 100x more obnoxious Linus has started huffing his own farts since he has the power to hire and fire people. He still has natural easy chemistry with Luke on camera but he gave Luke a sinecure with the floatplane job so now it’s Linus and an employee all the time and his inner douche is showing more and more. The WAN show with Riley was just stilted and awkward with Linus talking over Riley constantly and saying he doesn’t understand tech anyway. Riley is very smart to stay part time IMO. The entire thing on the latest scrapyard wars where Linus begged a computer recycler to let him pick something off the shelf and them telling him they’re not a retail shop was loving horrible. He went there in person after they hung up on him and then they escorted him from the building. This thread’s description of him as a screeching alien is never going to leave my brain, when I watch him fail at normal human behavior.

Thanks Ants posted:His follow up is where he manages to spend a loving insane amount of cash on a Thunderbolt tape drive when a Tandberg SAS autoloader would have been about two grand cheaper. I actually tried to contact them because I have experience archiving projects with a visual effects company. Their storage practices are bad and dumb. I tweeted Jake to ask if I could send him an email about their situation but he never replied. e: I hope they're gonna start archiving stuff to tape and that's what the video is about, I can't watch it until this evening

Generic Monk posted:i feel the channel has got slightly more self-aware recently - the editor's definitely got more room to manoeuvre when it comes to gently taking the piss out of him, which i feel works a lot better I went back and watched “Luke repairs his keyboard” and it was so much more mellow and interesting. Then I watched “we made the fastest XBOX evar” where Linus takes all the credit for Alex’s work and all the screechy bullshit is in there

I’m projecting a little bit because my first job was in VFX in Winnipeg so I know the “creative” industry in Canada a little bit - but I can’t imagine those editors are getting paid much to drop everything multiple times per day and help out with whatever Linus’s most recent stupid idea is

Wirth1000 posted:I unsubbed from Linus a while ago.... have they done anything yet with that bizarre purchase of all the precision engineering and milling and such equipment they bought? I'm still trying to figure out what the gently caress the point of that is. Who cares when the majority of your channel is based around other's products? Alex seems to be their guy for doing custom machining and stuff but he seems like a hobbyist like you and me rather than a mechanical engineer who would actually know how to design physical widgets. Most recently they did an overpowered peltier rig that didn’t work

well why not posted:Scrapyard wars is fun to skim thru but it is pretty dull watching dudes scroll classifieds. At least Kyle isn’t on this one. Actually, speaking of LTT staff I’m pretty impressed with Colton. He’s leading the charge on getting their setups, has a sick house in the woods and can cut down trees and is apparently the best gamer. I thought he was just an odd small weird guy to make Linus look tall and normal. Colton is kinda cool. So of course Colton is the one they all poo poo on all the time
