Linus Gabriel Sebastian & Linus Media Group / Linus Tech Tips - Narcissistic corporate shill YouTuber driving his media empire into the ground. KILL COUNT: 2

[seri0us]

As someone who doesn't watch the linux channel, has tranthony been in anything recently?

I don't watch LMG either but how little "Tech Fiona" is mentioned here makes me think they hid his ass.

Ever notice that the gamers nexus screwdriver set is non-ratcheting? There's no need for ratcheting when building a PC.

Ratcheting was a godsend for dealing with my case fans. If only because I had to hold onto the fan at the back then engage all my limp wristed nerd strength to get the screws out. Beyond that it's pretty useless for a PC build, I use the Wiha/Xiaomi precision kit that @Slav Power loves for 80% of PC work.

Steve seems hyperfocused on extracting as much value out of things as possible. His team is tiny compared to Linus', his HQ is in North Carolina and he doesn't overspend on equipment or buy unnecessary bullshit. He really is the Anti-Linus in so many ways so of course his merch reflects that too by being functional and reasonably priced.

fans are the only thing in PC building that ratchet drivers even work, and then only really for the first time when you cut the threads into the plastic

there is no justification for the LDT (linus dumb tips) Dildriver

I still don't understand why you would pay for a youtuber branded screw driver when you can get a serious tool brand.

Since we're on screw drivers, something that's sort of bothered me a few years ago when I upgraded my PC was how I still used a screw driver despite having tool less features like those drive bays and thumbscrews. It's dawned on me that tool less shit is basically a reviewer feature made to look good on reviews but something you barely touch afterwards.

I mean, I guess it's good if you build a lot of PCs.

Just pay 2-3x for a ltt branded megapro.

I checked the LTT staff page and Tranthony is still there, he is. I don't see any major shuffle since the Scott guy got charged with the pedo stuff. It looks like they did hire a two relatively attractive women to the company, one being a slav, so that should be interesting for future allegations from the smelly fat tech kids thinking personality makes up for bitch tits.

The Shawn guy is there new full time IT guy, and seeing his age makes me believe he actually knows his stuff, so I wonder how long he'll last with the faggotry Jake and Linus will do "for the lolz let's all have Epyc systems AND Intel i9's in the same computer." Plus there are now two bookkeepers, one to cook the books the other to hide the Chyna money for sex trafficking the LAN center will be revealed to be a front for.

 

[YouGuysAren'tThatSmart]

Because cases removed that 5.25 inch bay, kids these days don't have the built in cupholders anymore.

That Deklan guy has such an uncomfortable look, like he's trying way too hard to LARP as punk when his entire job is the most boring, bureaucratic 'The Man' work you can possibly do. Just strikes me as weird.

Once again i improre you all to join the 12v driver master race. I can't understand people fucking around with ratchet drivers for PC building purposes. they're total crap since the tension required to activate ratcheting is the same required to fasten the screw and the pitch is so fine and short that the ratcheting will never be used.

Ratcheting screwdrivers are a low iq purchase for PC work.



Bosch PS21 - $, brushed, basic and reliable, cheap to buy in a nice kit with 2 batteries and an impact on sale several times a year
View attachment 5696870


Bosch PS22 - $$, brushless, soft-start, lower power, shorter than ps21, discontinued, but the best one for electronics/computers since it's very gentle, if you can find it
View attachment 5696871


Bosch GSR12v-300hxn - $$, brushless, way more powerful, 1/2 inch shorter so you can actuate the chuck with pinky, needs trigger discipline, loud, but much more useful around the house thanks to extra power
View attachment 5696869

I suppose Milwaukee fuel m12 and 12v Dewalt Atomic are also good but Bosch has the best combo of size, ergos and price.

If you are doing it enough to require an electric screwdriver just get the Ryobi 4v. It's got enough power to do the job quickly and not enough power to strip out plastic screws. Put a 6 inch extention bit on it and you'll never have to worry about not being able to fit it in. It's what 6 of my coworkers used when I worked on office equipment (printers, fax, copiers) because it did the job better than anything more powerful. Also the battery charge lasted like 2 weeks with constant daily use.

Another LTT consoomer story:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1ake4qz/my_personal_review_of_the_ltt_bag_as_a_college/

How can a "college" student afford a $250 backpack? He says its a shit backpack for carrying books.

User has broken 2 LTT screwdrivers. Shaft breaks while doing simple electrical work. I guess anything requiring more torque than a pc screw will break it.

Last Friday I was working on my sister’s house doing some new wiring. I was screwing down a wire into the neutral bar when I heard a thunk. Thinking I had stripped the screw I didn’t think much of it. Screw was still tight so I moved. Fast forward a week or so…I figured out what the thunk was. Already have a warranty replacement for this one from a broken bit holder but that’s sitting on the shelf as a collectible now. Guess time to buy a silver shaft one.

Looks like luke is finally getting a PC. Whats with linus putting his kids in these videos? Its kind of off putting and kinda feels like those pedo but not pedo videos.



I foresee no heat related issues in the future.

 

[batigol]

This is what I use for screwdrivers. Most everything you could need and small enough to shove in a pocket/bag. Recall it was less than the LTT ScrewFucker3000 as well.

Also very often the price you pay for better tolerance is worse robustness.

It hasn't reached that creepy "arrest the parents" level that I get a sense of with that Jordan Matter girl who is heavily promoted by youtube. I've never seen any of those videos but the thumbnails that pop up on a clean youtube page give a very made for the creepy tech epsteins vibe. But it's getting more obvious and weird that Linus is trying to tap into the kids and tech gayness, because they clearly like being on camera now, one of them kept staring every chance she got.

It's just amazing how weak Linus' leaf genes are, all of them took from Yvonne, at best they're just 20% lighter.

Not to mention all of that artificial foliage will absolutely catch every mote of dust within the environment it is used in. Looks cool and all but the average home builder does not build an ornament that needs a 100% do over 9-12 months after first assembly.

Its worse, they used real moss in there. totally not gonna dry out and make a fucking mess.

That's one way to make a fire hazard I guess.

in the enterprise world tool-less actually means something. Entire assemblies could be swapped out with no tools needed

I think it's safe to say that luke just has absolutely shit taste.

I learned a lesson when I bought a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv case in 2014. It's a nice looking case but airflow is abysmal and the case itself weighs as much as many finished builds. It's an absolute PITA to take it outside and blow the dust out.
