He's just using his channel now to put GE on blast because he either got these for free from them and they suck or he was too stupid to research iot garbage before buying 100 of them. He then doesn't blur the customer service reps name, who has no control over GE releasing this trash tier hardware and software, and will most likely get in trouble or even canned for this.
Linus didn’t even bother to read the Amazon description:
The behavior he complained about in the video (that the light turns on immediately after being manually turned off), is because he had the switch set to occupancy mode. If he had it in vacancy mode, then there would have been no issue, as the light doesn’t turn on automatically in that mode. He also could have used the switches in occupancy mode as designed and just leave the room to turn the lights off.
Google may act like they know how it works, but it clearly doesn't function as is intended, and they continue to fuck with what it was actually supposed to do.
The “fucking” is 100% intentional to stop the spread of “misinformation” and Google knows exactly what they are doing. The old algorithm, before they freaked out about people being “radicalized” by YouTube recommendations, recommended content that people like you watched and was very good. Since that update, they bias a lot more towards the current video’s channel and your subscriptions and filter out “controversial” channels.
I agree they've tried to ruin it for that reason, but it's fallen apart in it's ability to actually generally recommend things. It will feed you endless volumes of garbage content unrelated to what you actually put watch hours into even if you aren't watching political videos. Searching things without even watching anything that shows up will lead to whatever was searched being fed to you. Not to mention YT search works even worse than Google these days, but that's another topic.
Sounds like the issue with Linus' smart switches is a user error. Yet so many retards out there worship him like some sort of tech god...
Because midwit types like Linus would rather spend 10 hours installing something to remove 1 second of inconvenience. Either that or he's desperate for new content for his decaying Youtube channel.
Especially with modern LED bulbs pulling only a handful of watts. Turning off your HVAC for an hour a day saves more power then a lightbulb will when turned on 24/7
Remember he paid 13.5 million CAD for this shit hole & now its looking like the basic building renovations are going to cost another couple mil.
I'm not sure how buying commercial works at all, should people be investigating the building for safety before a transaction occurs? Seems like some poor planning if they spent so much on a building only to get hit with a high start-up cost. Maybe they knew about the initial costs and were just playing it up for the video?
The building actually has around 75 parking spaces, but Linus bought the half of the building with only a third of the parking. There is also street parking.
Imagine showing that to the public lmao, really pierces the corporate image & just shows them to be the basement dwelling neckbeards & furries that LTT staff are.
