So they use a server instead of a gaming rig to play tomb raider and it has issues. What a twist! And it's a HP. I'm not one to talk too much, got a Pavillion 2 in 1 laptop with a i5, but i dont try pushing it beyond its limits; it's a little internet machine, maybe I could install old games and it wouldn't commit seppeku, unlike Linus here who is all gas no brakes.
99% of the time it's because they're a pos. But sometimes the government fucks you like they did with NORML advocates, or small mom and pop businesses that don't know how to do accounting, or you run a gossip forum on the internet.
the problem and only reason NOT to take the money and run is that it might have involved him being an indentured servant for some number of years, who the fuck would buy "Linus Tech Tips" without making sure "Linus" himself is perpetually forced to create videos until the heat death of the universe?
if he was actually offered $100 million (even canuk) and would be able to fuck off, even with a requirement to never make youtube videos again, he's a complete moron to not have taken it
A founder exit/transition period is extremely common with such purchases, but its usually 2-3 years at most. When LTT is basically 'breaking even' AKA Reinvesting for the next few years, hanging around to do it anyway should still be fine. He's already trying to push other LTT members to take larger camera presence, so this would just make that an official deadline date instead of just an idle effort.
This job looks a bit overloaded to me. You want an engineering SME with deep knowledge of Power Supplies as they are used in PC's and capable of leading a team with that knowledge (I hope its a team at any rate, the test script development and execution alone for day to day ops is a team sized effort), but who's also a capable public relations manager for vendor relations and a capable writer who can create interesting and engaging articles for plebians and pro's across the spectrum while speaking to the individual products.
By Linus being obsessed with drawing people in from doing the real work to be clowns on a meme episode, where he decides to see if he can heat up a microwave dinner using the PSU testing equipment and insists that the engineer, as the expert of this machine, needs to find out how to do it and make it a good episode.
Really? I swear I remember him standing in the "kitchen" and talking about the reason that set was built and it was AFTER they got the CNC router and showed off their LAN space, window-tv-monitor stuff etc.
It should be Python. It's free and easy enough to automate laboratory equipment. I have seen LabView in action, and frankly I wouldn't want to use it. It's not indicative for debugging IMO, but I am sure that is my own ignorance.
If I had the background, I would apply for one of the technical positions. I would like to think the head of labs; Andy (I think), would be the buffer between the engineering team and Linus. I am sure that is not the case, and Linus will be the shit nigger getting involved where he does not belong. Dude's a cuck.
Half of that video is petulant whining. The other half is absolute stupidity. It is not a normie tv stand. It is an artisan crafted one his wife picked out. So it was picked on looks rather than practical use. It is why they had to cut holes in it and replace the back. To fit anything in it and keep a gaming pc cool in it. You could do a lot better with a lot less money. But i think this was his wife's fuck up.
It's a very expensive, old, legacy and shit piece of software that it's only useful in some edge cases because it isn't worth the price for 90% of the places that uses it and LTT is one of them
Really shows hes some new money idiot who thinks being able to throw around money is the mark of success or capability.
A fucking $3000 tv stand? That shit looks no better nor functional than the $400 tv stand I bought off Amazon. Furthermore who the fuck is watching this type of content and finds it enjoyable? How does one of Linus' viewers who will never buy anything like this find usefulness in watching Linus bitch and moan about his $3000 tv stand?
