Jewtube hotlink I know but I wish for the kiwis to look at the comments of this video, it seems Linus (again) has fucked up. This time his audio tests are using graphing methods that Audio engineers find lacking check the comments for some gems.

Yeah I watched that video out of curiosity and it's just retarded. Basically he compares a $50 mic that includes a USB interface, pop filter, mount and arm vs a Blue Yeti which an equivalent setup would cost 4x as much then acts like the $50 mic is complete trash. He also needlessly compares it to Airpods and his Electro-Voice RE20. The RE20 is a literal thousands of dollars studio mic that requires an interface and pre-amp (since it's dynamic) vs this thing which is all in one.

The Airpods predictably sound like shit, the RE20 and studio floor mic sounds great though at one point I looked away from the video when they swapped to the cheap mic and barely noticed the difference vs their Sennheiser MKH 50 boom mic which costs literally thousands as well. When taking into consideration YouTube compression and how unavoidably narrow Linus' vocal range is, basically anything sounds equivalent when reviewed by him. They should've at least tested it with someone who went through male puberty. (Anthony?)

The polar pattern the labs produced was absolutely incomprehensible as it just used differently colored lines for each orientation and graphed the frequency response as a linear plot. Here's what a typical polar pattern looks like

Linus' plot looks like this

That dude is obviously packing heat... I'm not gay, but you can't miss it.

You'd think that a dude with that sort of bulge would have no problem getting all the pussy and/or bussy he could ever want and wouldn't have to resort to trooning out.

It's because what they are doing has nothing to do with them getting or not getting pussy or the size of their dicks. It's all in their minds. They have a mental illness. They talk about tucking their dicks between their legs. Can you imagine having a dick big enough you can tuck it between your legs while it's flaccid and you think you should be a woman? This is clearly not a hormone issue. Since testosterone levels play a role in penis size. Though it's not the only factor. It's a mental health issue. They are fucking bat shit crazy.

It also proves that having a big dick won't get you laid. Now matter how many dresses and wigs you put on.

This whole ordeal reminds me of right after TB died Linus talked about it on the wan show (or whatever it was called at the time) and basically tried to make it about himself. Saying shit about how much him/his company gave TB free tech support but then how TB said him and Linus were 'never friends' etc, etc.

It seems that Linus thinks him and all other youtubers are part of some big happy family and not competitors/business acquaintances at most.

Yeah it really bothers me that Linus always treats having any kind of integrity by admitting a mistake and reshooting as a massive imposition on him. He has zero consideration for other companies, it's all about LMG at the end of the day, and if they sell your priceless prototype after admitting they didn't want to spend $500 in man hours to give an accurate review of your product, so be it!

Anyway I'm a retard so I bought the Pwnage Stormbreaker mouse, threw a link to the GN video in the referral box and I'll make a review for the forum whenever it shows up on my doorstep.

Linus said "No one" should buy the Billet blocks

(because it's an egregious waste of money

EVERYTHING SEBASTIAN DOES IS AN EGREGIOUS WASTE OF FUCKING MONEY.

Not only that, how fucking ARROGANT this Chinese screwdriver and worthless fucking WATER BOTTLE merchant is to besmirch ANYONE ELSES purchase habits?

Fuck you Linus.

Can't believe nobody mentioned yet (at least I think) how this retard nigger makes everything extremely expensive with his "bounties". Like with the hot wheels PC for example.

I had no idea that chosen YouTube channels could replace videos in place. Doing that without aggressively notifying their viewers is something you would expect from a corrupt """journalistic""" media company. I guess that's all LMG is now.

It's way worse than you think it is. Not only can they replace/edit videos "in place" but the video ID doesn't change and sometimes the youtube-reported length doesn't update. Why yt-dlp relies on the youtube reported lenght instead of the actual length of the file is beyond me. It's also super great when you download a live stream and the filename says it's 3:48 or whatever but it's actually only the last two hours.

Because of this it's basically impossible to tell if something's changed when you're archiving stuff with yt-dlp because even if you use id+length it's not a unique identifier and shit like "last updated" doesn't work on youtube. I only noticed this after wondering why some crowbcat videos I downloaded were different lengths from the posted ones and after investigating found that small jokes or clips had just been removed. Probably youtube said those shots/sections/jokes had something youtube didn't like and the easiest way is to just remove that bit entirely instead of trying to rework or redo it.

So if you've ever re-watched a video on youtube and though it wasn't as good as you remembered it might legitimately not be because your favorite joke is gone. I hate youtube so goddamned much.

Edit: grammar

That 2 hours thing is due to the entire VOD not yet being processed. If you happen to start capturing before the stream ends, put --live-from-start in the yt-dlp arguments and it'll spin up a new thread to grab segments from the start then merge it all together when the stream finally ends. If the stream has ended, you're basically boned until it finishes processing.

Yeah if YouTube says "nooo this section isn't kosher!" then the only option the uploader has is to cut it and I think it does this by slicing the section between I-frames since you can do that without re-encoding the video.

I don't know about the length thing but I did have an issue with an old Kill All Pedos video where the chat was offset by 5 minutes for seemingly no reason and that might've been a consequence of this kind of stupid shit. YouTube is such a janky piece of shit platform at this point.

I can't fathom taking a prototype, refusing to follow the instructions the small company gave you, then acting like they're retarded when it doesn't work. Then, you promise to return that prototype to the small company and fucking auction it off, when you're worth millions.

I don't know how much money Billet labs have but I hope it's enough for a retainer. Also people who unironically simp for a person who reviews Chinese metal boxes honestly need to throw themselves down a well.

I wish they'd offer a wired version for cheaper. I have absolutely 0 desire for a wireless mouse and would rather save $20 on a purely wired one.

I knew it was because the VOD wasn't processed yet but I thought I basically had to wait for a stream to be finished before I could download the whole thing or just lose whatever time was between the stream starting and me starting a live downloading. Trying to time downloads to be after a stream of ??? length would be finished processing but before it got removed is a huge problem. With --live-from-start I get the whole stream even if I've started 30 mins late? Do you know if that works with the live-chat json download?
 
The worst part is, rather than being a rational and calm adult, Linus jumped on the keyboard like an angry CoD player and hammered the keys to respond. If he had half a brain and a level head, he would have just turned shit off, gone home to his family, and spent the day trying not to think about it until he could get back to the office to come up with a mature response.

Though given the fact his wife clearly runs more than he does, I Imagine when Linus got home and his chingchong bingbong dingdong saw the money vanishing from Floatplane, she was like this with him.

I really doubt things are going to get better with a CEO when the owner is just stalking around injecting himself into any random part of the company at will.

nah bro should work great.

Clearly, the problem has been that the highly competent management team that Linus has built up over the years, just hasn't had the opportunity to really focus on their core areas.

The new CEO will free up Nick Light, who is definitely really COO material for a medium-sized business, not just a randomly selected early Linus true believer who deals with the returns on all Linus's shitty merchandise, to really work his magic so that employees only take stuff from work without permission when it's toilet paper and handtowels, not expensive GPUs that belong to someone else. The CFO will finally be able to provide solid feedback across the business as to where the fat at the margins (not just Tranthony's gynomasteia) needs to be cut out.
