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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
if the majority of views comes from "occasional viewers" that watch just few videos at random, then that is your audience
Said audience probably comes from the carpetbombing of all the Alphabet algorithms by LMG, followed by said casual viewers losing interest about 3 videos in once they realise how LTT and his associated channels are a combination of incompetence and shilling. Probably not the most sustainable business model for growth, but good enough to keep a hardcore fanbase of midwit zoomers occupied until they grow up and discover GN.
 
That was a weird episode, like it might have actually been something they put together relatively quickly when she asked for help and he decided to make a video about it, and trying to min/max it by giving her on the shelf parts Asus "sponsored." Found it weird how she doesn't have a wedding ring on but has a new last name that is like a mixture of indian and polish, you're a joke of a country Canada.

Supposedly from Wan Show Yvonne's AMD extreme tech upgrade is soon, as in this week.
 
Intel saw their money going to weird shit and got buyer's remorse.
There was also the issue that the comments kept saying things like “Ouch, 11900K. I bet he wishes he could have gotten a 5950X instead.”, and the constant Nvidia GPUs. People kept spending their money on the 12400, a budget processor, and kept installing it in their NASes rather than in their gaming computers. As far as ad campaigns go, it was pretty rubbish.
 
Linus is the Guy Fieri of tech

Guy fiery is charismatic, entertaining and an overall fun guy, unlike linus


A totally "objective" employee interview about working for Linus, someone's ego needed to be assuaged. Nothing feels sincere, a lot of qualifiers for criticism that remind me of the compliment sandwich, that Tanner faggot just makes me want to punch him every time I see or hear him because he's constantly putting on a bit because he thinks he's a funny man (who gained 30 lbs since working at LTT, so he says).

GN dropped the video about exploding Ryzens.
They've pissed away a good chunk of money for the sake of figuring out what the fuck is going on with this case so that consumers are actually informed about their purchase.

Though GN's focus is on that, actual tech journalism, and they are more than willing to piss away every single possible sponsorship from the big brands as long as it means that they do proper unbiased reporting. Plus, they actually have a vetting system for channel sponsors instead of getting anyone who pays the most without thinking. That's the biggest difference between LTT and GN, and that's why LTT will never be GN no matter how they try.
I do have to ask, why were they blowing up? I know core temp has been getting high, but that high for new AMD chips?

Asus and Gigabyte (no surprise there) have buggy boards/BIOS that dump 1.4+ V to Vsoc when EXPO (AMD's XMP, but does a bit more) is enabled. Steve also blames AMD because he thinks those boards should never have been greenlit by AMD or AMD should have better communicated that this is a very bad idea. (obvious to anyone with half a brain though. Only stupid when it's the board's default setting.) Over Temp isn't even triggered, the chip cracks so fast. Kinda like the old Athlon XP days those came without IHS and no safeties. Great for overclocking, bad for noobs.

One board also started burning, because the over-current protection OCP is far to high, so when a dead CPU doesn't give the power-good signal it gets fed 400W until it blows up and also kills the board.

The new BIOS seems to fix it though. (Unless you set those settings manually.) 1.4+ V is bad for any AMD CPU but the X3D parts seem to die a lot faster from it. One other factor is the iGPU. But watch it if you want to know more. It's a well made and researched video.

EDIT: some folks also have reported similar issues on their Intel platforms, but with less explosions. Check the comments of the video.
 
Yes, the X3D chips are a lot more sensitive to voltage, even the 5800X3D. Which is why I'm amazed that so many people are surprised about it. Did that information about the 5800X3D not proliferate enough? The material used to bond the stacked cache is voltage sensitive, hence the lower limits, no oc, and lower boost of 3d cache parts.

Easy to see shit hitting the fan fast if a mobo lets 1.4+v zap it.

-The opening is about some Leaf bill that passed about online streaming content and needing to be pushing canadian content when in canada, similar to their cultural preservation laws that exist right now. They aren't going to move but it's a big ??? about what is canadian culture, which is funny to see because these soulless leafs made themselves a brand and not a country and clapped about it until they had to look in the mirror. Linus is worried Google will retaliate with some harder fuck yous and hurt canadian content makers worldwide.
-30:40 is about the exploding AMD chips, they take the side of it being a mobo problem, talk about how there's always bad stuff out there, we were just in a bubble of good quality the past few years.
-54:50 they are making an LTT onesie with no feet covers, this is horrible, Tranthony's inevtiable shooting spree will be in one of these 3 sizes too small
00126.png
-56:10 another carabiner replacement fix update, still looks like a ridiculous thing for a customer to do after the fact
-1:15:30 Linus trying to defend the Atlas OS talk from last week, already been discussed
-1:23:50 talk about shit chromebooks being ewaste, very little actually criticizing the government waste even though LTT pretends to act so eco conscious
-1:38:20 more Twitter two minutes of hate, this time about blue checks magically coming back to some places like LTT, they continue to act like Twitter is dying when it sure doesn't seem to be the case.
-1:44:15 Linus got elective surgery, the lots of needles on your face to promote collagen production thing (a tattoo needle without the ink). He says he thought about this stuff differently after speaking to David (the weird painted nail camera guy who has a kid but is some poly pansexual deviant) who said it's not about changing your given body, but keeping it tuned up. Which is fine but you can do that with a face scrub and normal better living habits, just admit you want to dress in women's clothes and grow your hair out.
-1:47:50 LTX '23 update of creators. A sidenote: something I haven't seen mentioned is Bitwit is going on indefinite hiatus, he made a video about it almost a week ago but it's not brought up here or anywhere really. He admitted he was burned out with the divorce when it happened but kept his tech channel going just to make money in case he got reamed in the settlement but now seems to just want to do non-tech things.
-2:06:20 There is going to be a new channel called GameLinked, and Riley is now in charge of all "Linked" channels. Nothing else was mentioned about how the content would be, if it will be shallow IGN or SJW twitter level reviews of new games or "why pretty girls are problematic" 5 minute reeeeee videos.
-2:48:50 Linus' pool is brought up, the contractor screwed up some tile, it is supposed to be done in 3 weeks. Linus thinks the company is going to go under soon and is floating the money from different jobs to try and finish what they can. He doesn't want to name and shame them for fear of making the company go completely under and then no one has a finished pool. If they are not a good company letting them continue to do half assed work that will likely need to be fixed really soon only makes them spread the pain more.
-2:53:00 Luke made an unannounced visit to NASA in Houston, might be some kind of tour or collab later on. It was more about just geeking out at the tech stuff and how to implement new changes to things that people don't want to change because they work and are tested but you need to update because technology changes.

And accidentally confirmed that the Moon Landings were fake.

He's not gonna have a thread, so can we talk about him here? His divorce seems nasty and messy and yet not a lot seems to be public.
That poor bastard was done so dirty, they just finished that house and moved in and she immediately divorces him and tries to take it. Not like you couldn't see it coming, whenever she appeared in the videos she seemed annoyed by his very presence and always had a facial expression akin to smelling a fat turd under her nose. (Now that I think about it Linus' wife does the same face a lot)
I stopped watching him around the divorce announcement but he showed up in my recommended every now and then, seemingly going through varying degrees of a mental breakdown, shitty colorful zoomer hair included. And it leaves a really sour taste, watching his video about leaving the channel and yet it still has a big brand sponsorship and self-promo ads.
There is one important lesson in this though- Vegans. Not even once.

Can't they just make a side channel where they escape their soy pods and film themselves going hiking or something to fill the quota? They pay a lot of money to live in an unbelievably beautiful part of the world and even if nobody watches them skiing in Whistler or wandering around Vancouver Island, it'll probably satisfy the cultural content Nazis.

Isn't he the former Newegg tv host along with Paul's Hardware before they left Newegg to make their own channels? He's still in California so he's probably getting shafted with the divorce settlement. Real shame about that divorce.

I’ve never heard of a man having microneedling (that wasn’t a troon, anyway). The closest is men using dermarollers and minoxidil on their beards, but that’s not Linus’ style (and he doesn’t need it, he has decent facial hair).
Keep your eyes open for dry/peeling skin, he might be doing it in combination with retinol to stop wrinkles. Pretty silly really, he’s entering the brief period where a man looks experienced but before he starts looking middle aged, throwing that away with antiaging skincare is going to make him look silly. Extra collagen only helps hide wrinkles (especially in combination with foundation), but it doesn’t eliminate them. Chances are he’ll just look like he’s worried he’s aging (which is ugly), rather than like he doesn’t care (which is hot).

InB4 the Artemis mission ends with a huge explosion and we learn that Linus is the one who assembled the computers.

Hmmph another one? Not his first procedure either! Might end matching the tranny sister for the most cosmetic surgergies. I wonder if he used the same SE Asian cosmetic surgery tourism shop that did his wife's vaginal reconstruction work? Must be a couple's combo savings offer with every advanced labiaplasty procedure?
