What I really don't get is why Linus doesn't hire people who know what they're doing, and just include it in the video. I'm sure there's competent tradespeople who wouldn't mind being featured in a video.

He used to hire a real electrician, but that guy seemed to disappear when the new house shit started. I guess he has standards and wasn't going to risk his license to do the jank stuff that linus wanted

I don't think lan centers are a good business venture in developed countries where people can afford a PC/console of their own. I guess there are enough indians and chinks in canada that it may work out. Probably not a lot of niggers either.

I can see a very narrow market fit around managing to get set up right beside a major college campus, but you'd have to go more Net Cafe than pure LAN center, not that there's much of a difference these days. Students tend to have a low but consistent disposable income, enough to consume luxury entertainment but not so much as to afford a full RTX 50-series build on their own. Dorms aren't exactly pleasant anyway, so getting out with the gang to a place where you can party up in person and play whatever the game of the month is would have some appeal. Throw some overpriced packaged food onto the menu, or even go fancy with a basic kitchen for reheating Sysco prepackaged slop and you're more or less set. Your staffing costs would basically be minimal too, wouldn't be hard to find a few college students who are willing to man the register, have basic computer tech skills, and will work for minimum wage at weird hours in return for being allowed to study at the counter when not busy.

It'd appeal to the foreign students too, but not for the reasons you might think. A lotta those kids are flush with cash, but are constantly being watched by bulldozer parents, and not letting your kid get a gaming rig is something I've repeatedly seen - don't want them to spend all night playing fortnite, so they remove the temptation. But they can easily afford a night out with friends at a

You wouldn't be running a massive enterprise, but with a bit of luck and some competency, you could manage a decent little local hole in the wall, and pocket an ok profit for something that should be relatively hands off. You'd just have to resist the urge to try and expand too much, or into expensive niches like VR or the such. Despite being a tech entertainment business, you really want to keep it simple.

A LAN Firetruck(???) is dumb as hell but Canada still has a few net cafes around, there was a recent fad of "VR Escape Rooms", and we fucking love barcades. Food trucks are also coming back all over and there's still travelling carnivals so someone who isn't a moron could probably figure out a way to make a mobile/temporary LAN Party setup work in Canada. Aside from the firetruck part it's not a completely insane idea.
But like every other big ticket purchase this retard does, it'll be a 200k prop in one video and that'll be that.

These seem incompatible with linus tho. He will clearly go overboard and over expand; a little hole in the wall isn't good enough for him. We aren't talking about some normal guy wanting to start a lan center we are talking about a massive egomaniac with a large credit line.


Linus doing a jank ass watercooling setup on his "million dollar" server. i'm sure we won't be back again when it breaks.

Seeing Jake give Linus gruff for just bulling on ahead about three and a half minutes in there feels... simultaneously great and frustrating.
"What did you think was gonna happen?"
"I dunno, you still continued to do the thing I said you shouldn't do. I thought maybe you would think about what I said."
Jesus, Linus has such a bull-in-a-china-shop mentality with million-dollar equipment that even his staff get pissy with him on camera...

Every minute of this video is a disaster for too many reasons to list but I genuinely wonder:
  • Why is the cooling setup in the door and not a side panel or something?
  • How is Linus so jewish that he couldn't even joke about betting lunch on something?

I think the worst thing about Linus is when his "boss" persona pops out, like he doesn't realize he's the boss first, so he acts like they're all friends until its time to give people raises or pay for lunch

they don't have computer labs in colleges anymore? there were easily hundreds of unused computers at college you just needed a student ID to use back in my day, at minimum just so you could have a place to print, and i doubt its any different now.

It's honestly quite funny how obsessed Linus is with watercooling. I like watercooling as much as the next guy, but he has an unhealthy obsession with it. He acts like a child that learns a new concept, and then tries to apply it to everything.

haven't the cons outweighted the pros for most use cases in watercooling? its gotten better but its still not something most people use as their primary cooling system, best case they use it for their GPU

Because, as was revealed in the video, radiators-in-doors are actually a thing. The servers are already moving air, they can move it through the radiator if you mount it properly... Properly. With, you know, a server rack that's actually sealed and everything, so the fans can actually create a pressure gradient between the front and the back...

Watercooling is normal for datacenters. Not in the literally running water through waterblocks on the chips way, although that is becoming necessary for certain types of extremely power dense deployments, but using water-filled radiators to exchange heat around servers is normal. The general idea of what they have been doing here is sane and normal. The execution is not.

My homelab is watercooled btw... No accidents yet, 3 CPUs, 2 GPUs. Pressure controlled with a vacuum pump on an overflow tank so I can monitor for any potential leaks, and any potential leaks will not leak, since it's under a vacuum. Unless they are the immediately catastrophic brand of leak. But what can you do, eh?

That is interesting and now that it's been explained to me, it makes sense. I've only had contact with servers in naked racks but cooled whole rooms, but I'm also a big gay larper of a sysadmin even then.
It still seems wacky to mount it in a door though; I guess you don't have to access the servers physically super often but having to swing 20L of water around seems precarious to do even once.

Depends on the place, issuing laptops tends to be the more popular option now, there's not many classes that absolutely need a full desktop build. Even in places where you need the peripheral setup, issue laptop with a USB3 docking hub will get the job done. The labs that are still out there are not likely to be any better equipped for you and the boys to LAN on than a $400 issued laptop would be. Not to mention calling your friend a camping faggot isn't the kind of thing that's safe to say on the modern college campus.

For sure, he'd insist on every machine constantly being absolutely top tier, 5090 founders with new CPU's and Mobo's every six months, half the machines would be perpetually offline because there's no way he's taking a dedicated hardware tech. He'll take that theoretical student studying behind the counter and expect them to spend all their hours rebuilding rigs professionally for him instead. And just wait until he decides to try and set up one monolithic interconnected mother of all watercooling systems. I can hear him now sperging about how the sheer thermal mass of sharing one massive reservoir means they'll never overheat. And it'll probably last all of a week before a customer bumps a computer, pops a chinesium fitting, and vents a LAN warehouse worth of water out that one pipe, absolutely ruining everyones day.

Its worse than that, this is his business and not his house. So what you've seen in violations; multiply that by probably 5x because this is a commercial space. Instead of just risking the lives of his family he's risking the entire business park being burned.

One of the 3d printed mounts is already cracked. So once it inevitably falls and rips all the plumbing, will we get a new video?

This had a different thumbnail yesterday but this one's less gay. This lady seems like a normie who does their merch stuff, she just had a kid which means in Fag Leaf standards she's been gone from the office for a year or something. She seems normal, nothing to really mock outside of them living in another slop bugman canadian apartment where it's all the same layout and denial-turned-acceptance that this is the best they will get in life.


Somehow this got pushed to me recently despite being 3 weeks old, and I find it interesting:


Chances of Sarah being a lesbian by year's end? 60%? Pooning out 30%? Or is she putting on weight to look more attainable by LTT viewer standards?
