Perhaps he has a humiliation fetish and wants everyone to know he's a pathetic cuckold? Who knows.

this has the two intel guys who were on Gamers Nexus earlier in the week, as they try and make intel look less like an idiotic behemoth, but this likely means more intel shilling by LTT in the future as they pretend the processors aren't throwing heat just to compete with prior gen AMD.
I posted the video for two reasons:
-at 1:01:00 Linus brings up the Attack Helicopter thing vaguely, but uses it in a way to say the community needs to keep companies in check, which is bullshit, this isn't consumer protection it's a fag on twitter thinking everythings problematic. The chat looks to be heavily moderated for the next five minutes as people go "who the fuck cares it's a joke"
-he already had the pop-up store but at 1:13:15 they talk about the pop-up and setting up backorders for the backpack so they can finally get money because he admits they're cash strapped and saying things are back ordered as opposed to pre-order, while the same to us normies, means he's ethically ok in taking people's money now, cope and dilate Linus. And they also screw up the address and have to double check it, the full power of 50+ employees on display.

What? FFFFFF... WHY?! (I searched hiking because they generally have the largest storage space, which is what you usually shop for)

The difference being that Techmoan buys almost everything he reviews with his own money. Ironically enough, the last time Mat did a review on something he got for free, it was for an item that both he and Linus were given as freebies: the Sony Linkbuds.
AFAIK Sony still sends Linus free shit, but they've not since reached out to Mat to send him more stuff. Draw your own conclusions.

There are expensive backpacks out there (e.g. Mystery Ranch (no bias, just the first expensive brand that came to mind)):
That backpack is several times larger than the LTT one and most of the price is because it is made in the US, has a frame, has to comply with a bunch of government regulations, and "cool tax" because USSOCOM bought them.
But even someone as expensive as Mystery Ranch charges less for a back pack in the same class as Linus':

Linus set the pricing too low, it's still way under the cult classic "boy I wish I could join the military" goruck GR2, which started out at something like $150 and is now 400$ for about $20 in raw materials. People sell "limited edition" goruck backpacks second hand for like a grand.

the hobbit, in 48fps 3d 4k was .7TB at 3 hours, even the new 8k scan of the wizard of oz is 22tb and that's scanning the best quality original negatives.
so even if Linus was enough of a narcissist to believe anyone watches old tech stuff for their artistic merit instead of the hilarious schadenfreude of someone orgasming over stuff you find at 5 below, unless he's doing fincher levels of takes for each video he clearly has no need for all this storage.
its also a fuck load cheaper to get storage ever year, from $300 million in 1981 to $100 in 2010 to $10 now. "the prices keep getting cheaper but the file size stays the same"
if you wanted a copy of every porn scene released last year in the highest quality you could do it for about $1000, stuff like major film releases or tv shows will set you back even less. i bet you could put all of the Visual studios on a microSD card along with the other windows products.
if people didn't keep circulating the tapes then we wouldn't have footage of the moon landing or any space missions or most anything from before the 1980s.
plus its a cool gift for the olds, take those scrap book photos and home movies and digitize them, put it all on like a dozen flash drives, and let them post their old school photos on facebook. you'd be surprised how much their friends will enjoy seeing those old party photos.

Branding it as a "Linus Tech Tips" product immediately reduces the value by 50%, so I'd say it's fairly valued.

lol, this shit is four times as expensive as my Wisport Sparrow 30 II, which itself is considered a tad bit overpriced. Yet it comes in more color options, has more MOLLE straps so you can expand it further, and even has compression straps and both a chest strap and a hip belt, plus a quick detach system. And even though it's a civilian market product, it might as well be a military issue.
Two issues though. It doesn't appeal to the tech crowd with any tech oriented features or design, and it's not branded by some flaming faggot that does YouTube videos for a living.

Maybe one of those eyelets to thread your earphones through, but that's a relict of the 2000's. My backpack has a sack for a CamelBak that can kinda work as a laptop pocket and a passthrough for the CamelBak straw which can be used to thread cables through, so in a way it is a "tech backpack" if you really want it to be.

Dedicated cum-resistant bowsette fleshlight storage compartment, a pocket for a 100$ screwdriver, Monday through Friday separate pill sleeves for your estrogen meds and truvada, and finally headphone storage for your kawaii cat ear set.

"I thought you said no eye contact with the third party during our threesome" Husband says to Wife. That's so oddly specific, and horrifying.
"Linus please put on your threesome hat!"

my cheap backpack which is from a brand I don't remember the name of (but is also not for traveling, more for "I need a bunch of stuff with me for this one daytrip") has a threaded-in usb cable and a compartment where to put one of these powerbanks so you can charge your phone/laptop without opening or unpacking the backpack, so maybe that.

Linus made a video about LTT Labs' equipment and employees:
Current title and thumbnail in case he changes it:
After watching the video, two things stand out as odd. He hired a programmer to write a tool that screen scraps game menus and uses machine learning to figure out where the buttons are in order to configure the game for benchmarks. Nvidia GeForce Experience/AMD Gaming Evolved can do this automatically and behind the scenes they change the games' settings by editing config files, not by playing the games. He also paid for a video game version of the warehouse built in Unreal Engine.

Damn, the burn-rate of hiring 8+ folks for this testing lab, all that specialized equipment, and standard massively expensive real-estate in Canada. Based on the demos they've just been screwing around for a bit. Guy really had enough free-time to learn Unreal Engine and model the building for a 3 second spot in a video? Multiple fulltime "software engineers" to create slightly more advanced macros?
Why not just try this first with headphones, 1-2 guys, and a small lab? Worst case you burn a million tops for a few years instead of whatever the hell this costs.
Will be interesting if he has to do a "farewell, I made a mistake" video in the next few years once he has to do a layoff and focus on his core competency of helping YouTube target zoomers with ads.
