The faggot on the right is the one who organized this suka blyat shoot, a new writer who was in a recent-ish video, and he is peak Zoomer tryhard "I have no real personality and am scared to be introspective because I will hate what I discover," this is probably a fake name on his inevitable transition to they/them:

He's in this video from 0:40 to 4:00, and he shows off rare games that aren't really that unknown if you have had any internet exposure over the last 15 years. Oh wow old McDonald's japan employee game that has been known as being very rare, Takeshi's Challenge likely taken from the Jontron video, you're such a fountain of original thought and not just trying to be the cool weird one in the nerd group.

-Luke gets mad that Linus and 90% of the staff haven't changed their passwords for their various accounts like they were asked to a while ago, seems like it's something that needs to be done for some new security or backend update but people aren't doing this which might create issues.

I know I'm late, but this is why these retards shouldn't be fucking around with servers. If you're too incompetent to force a password reset; I don't care if you use the GUI, Command Line, or Powershell, but if you're too stupid to force that on your users, you're too stupid to fucking build a server solution. They'll be inconvenienced for 30 to 60 seconds upon logging in the next day, and life will go on. Don't get mad, you're a fucking administrator, force it on them.

Also, that shit about stock and what-not; I've only seen shit going that fucking hard when you start working with (not for, with) the federal government. Never seen a compel to sell; but there are questions about if you've worked at certain places in certain capacities, have old or current connections (friends/family/etc), and other shit with those companies, as well as stocks or other interests. Unless Linus is doing shit for the Leafy Feds, that contract is fucking overreach. As for what me or my family invest in... ... ... I'll tell you when I see Yvonne's naturalization papers.

Wow, Linus, look! Milwaukee stole your super special and unique stubby ratcheting screwdriver idea, you should sue them for infringing on your intellectual property! Now your little overpriced stubby ratcheting screwdriver won't be the only one on the market!

They suggested the Orange Pi 3 LTS and the Orange Pi 5. I'm more of an Odroid fan myself. The n2+ is more mature in software than the 5.

They fucked up the name of the rk3588s CPU on the orange pi 5. Called it the RK35885.

Im a SBC boomer, I tinker with them as small portable desktops perfect for when you are running an application that i sensetive to crashing while alt+tabbing. Cause sometimes you are just swamped in documentation and an ipad just isn't good enough. The problem with Linus video like all the other SBC videos is that they just assume that chucking numbers at you is a great way to compare these computers but that would be true if all things where equal and they just aren't this isn't windows.

Is this normal in the americas? "We do require employees to be avalible evenings and weekends"

I think thats normal most places if you're not salaried as you can just put the hours worked into your timesheet as overtime.

Nothing wrong with saying they have evening/weekend hours. It's something entirely different if they abuse it via split days and/or not letting you put all your OT hours. That'd be a complaint with... whoever Canadians bitch about that with.
 
I am willing to bet that NCIX had a better contract
Cuz they actually had common sense n dont need a hand book

Every contract I've had has a similar clause, although it's usually phrased as "outside core ours depending on business needs" rather than being specific. Every contract has also said that work outside core hours can be compensated with additional vacation days. Sometimes it' specified the days need to be taken in a given time period (e.g., within two weeks) or is added to the general pool.

Edit:

Also the employee handbooks have, more or less, been nothing more than a list of processes to follow (e.g., for sick leave or booking vacation) and putting in writing things that would be classed as misconduct (don't be drunk at work, don't make hot-takes about the company on social media, etc.)

This one made me MATI as well. Linus, I think it's time you fired your wife.

This is so weirdly worded and strange.
It is like they wanted a rule stating employees cannot ask to skip normal hiring interviews, when one of their family members wants a job. But then Linus had a freak out about collusion or family drama and banned anyone recommending family. Because Linus is the only one allowed to do the nepotism round here.

Louis Rossman discussing the recent leak of the LMG employee handbook on stream:
Click to expand...
I mostly agree with Louis though I think it'd help if he actually skimmed the handbook instead of just responding to the retarded Reddit post.

The employee handbook is a bit strange since they want to pretend to be super cool ("Part Manifesto"?) and yet a good 80% of it looks copy and pasted from every other contract. It really shouldn't even be called the handbook as that would imply it has some day-to-day usefulness when instead it's just a set of mostly standard stipulations that you maybe read once and never look at again beyond your first day. One thing that struck me is how lousy the leave entitlements are

This is literally the bare minimum

You also might forfeit celebrating public holidays because THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Linus and his staff have better things to do than pay respects on Remembrance Day or observe Good Friday.
1676992041772.png
All the non-standard provisions are an absolute shitshow of poorly worded nonsense that Linus the eternal hypocrite happily ignores. The gifts policy for instance:
1676992781821.png
It's one thing if Seagate gifts LMG a pallet of hard drives with the hope it gets used in a video, but Linus' house is filled with gifts from sponsors. (iirc the Ubiquiti cameras he installed throughout were gifted). Why doesn't he hold himself to the standards he expects from his staff?

There's also a strange expectation built into the policy on filming
1676993275405.png
"will be displayed on LMG's websites". They've since removed the social media handles from the Our Team page but it's frankly absurd that by working at LMG, you must consent to having your dox online. Especially after this
1676993423708.png
Oh no dahxing! (Spelled wrong btw) Hey Linus, if you give a shit about your staff not getting fucked with, how about you don't publish their personal info online without even giving an opportunity to opt-out? Not all of these guys are in production and would get credited on videos, why must they have their personal info online?

I personally would excuse such hypocrisy but for entirely different reasons

simply because I have seen what migrant employees do with workplace nepotism and how they abuse corporate sponsorships.
