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.
Did he only hire software enigneers? They are the only displine who seems to never touch CAD.
No, he just hired the engineers who would accept the youtuber wage as opposed to engineer wage. Its why they got a manual lathe and then couldn't use it because it was "trash" (it was a model I had used before professionally, unless it was absolutely beat to shit it was a fine machine). To be fair, thats how most engineers are now, too good to get their hands dirty and if the cad program says its ok it must be ok.
 
Jake seems to be the one doing all the work, is he yvonne's buck?


Linus has officially reached the title of a Cancuck.

Behold, through the power of technology I have created man-made horrors beyond our comprehension:

When did this happen?
About a year or two ago I believe. I think it involved a babysitter and the kid who put one of the cats in the dryer. Someone probably already mentioned the specifics earlier in this thread.
There was never any actual proof that the kid did it. If I'm remembering correctly it's a common theory on 4chan boards that Linus's son is some kind of autist based on how strangely he behaves in the videos he's shown in. Because of this, people just baselessly speculated that he killed the cat for attention or because he's a psycho or whatever. There's no proof that it was the kid that put the cat in the dryer (and if Linus was aware that his kid did it you'd think he wouldn't talk about the incident at all on the internet, let alone blame the nanny).

I feel like we are overdue for a casting couch saga, but it will turn out that Yvonne took that over also.
it would be a funny gender reversal, creepy foreigner basically forces their significant other into an e-celeb career while controlling all the money. its a tale as old as time with women, most of those online bitches that are successful and a SheEO usually have a man doing all the real work while they bounce around on camera. Her literally being just as bad would be a great story for the ages.

Pauly Shore's mom was blatantly the Harvey Weinstein of the comedy world her entire life, if you want a spot you better know how to lick. So literally every comedian that did her show from 1975 to 1995 and supposedly up until 2015 when she still had comedians licking her 80 year old box. even better the first 5 years she didn't even pay them. imagine hearing the chink's been forcing Linus' co workers to lick her fortune cookie this entire time.
I don't think it's necessary to hoard popular media - you will always be able to find episodes of The Office or Drake albums or whatever years from now, simply because it's so widespread on the p2p network already. It's still nice to keep a local copy if you wish for speed but I would be much more inclined to save harder to find media such as older TV shows (some of the more obscure ones having no known copies) or porn (which seems to disappear quickly and sometimes is hard to search for).
while true its all about what they cut, more so in porn. a lot of 2000s era porn is cut weird because of new guidelines (must follow consent guidelines meaning can't show person doing something to a victim if the victim says no/stop, no alcohol or presumption of drinking/no drugging of people/no threatening people/no fun) entire sites are just fucking gone. careers even because of it. even private trackers won't keep a lot of it because its too spicy according to modern day law enforcement.

i mean for fucks sake theres a story about netflix going full lucas on stranger things recently.
Tech support often involved searching for *.jpg on peoples malfunctioning computers. Sometimes calling the police afterwards was required.
if only more niggers were as pro-snitch as tech support.
 
You will like Hardware Busters International. One of my favorite channels. The guy is a real-deal electrical engineer and his PSU reviews are JG-tier. In fact, he is the same guy that does the good technical reviews for Tom's and TPU, and has been for years, was doing it concurrently with JG.

Speaking of Hardware Busters, there are in the process of building out a new lab. They just posted a video of the progress so far


English is not his first language and his budget is an order of magnitude smaller, but based on this video and the way he explains what he's doing, I have much more confidence in the content (and data) they will generate as opposed to Linus' technical non-tent.

I think he takes a shot at Linus at 14:40 to 15:40 too...
timestamped: https://youtu.be/OITqjJlS5EU?t=878 and echoes a lot of the comments in this thread re: linus' incompetent technical staff.



Anyway, can't shill for this guy enough. Top quality content.
 
There's no proof that it was the kid that put the cat in the dryer
Yeah it's basically a meme. The only vague circumstantial proof I could see was that the nanny disputed her being fired for negligence and Linus never followed up on what happened after he cried on Twitter.

Grabbing that thread and pulling it hard, all I can see is that perhaps the nanny threatened to out his psycho little shit and he paid her to keep quiet, but that's getting pretty schizo.

He reminds me of one of the hundreds of middle-aged guys out there making videos about 1980s computers. That's a good thing, as some dude in a garage sperging into a 2014 potatocam about C64s to a couple hundred subscribers is far more watchable than LTT's entire gang of idiots combined.

I don't do much with modern hardware, but I've subscribed to Hardware Busters just because I like the cut of his jib.

Linus pays you in exposure on his excellent tech channel. Now go edit his cuck videos, scrub and be thankful you are employed!

He's also Canadian and a lot of skilled Canadian engineers move to the US as soon as possible for the significantly higher wages.

84% of the 2020 class of Software Engineers from the University of Waterloo (Canada's top engineering school) moved to the US immediately after graduation. The 16% who stayed either suck, have a loyalty to Canada that money can't buy, aren't eligible to work in the US, or got jobs at one of the handful of companies that pays American wages in Canada, which Linus is definitely not doing.

The last sentence is also cope. The median house in Vancouver costs more than the median house in Seattle, but a software engineer in Seattle earns triple what the Vancouverite does. The GTA is getting close to Bay Area pricing, which is what happens when a country decides to import over 1% their population every year while also restricting the size of their cities.

This is why they are leaving (ignore the outliers, some students are clearly exaggerating and the numbers are in CAD so multiply them by .78 to get the numbers in USD). Note that the top Canadian salary is tied with the lowest American salary, and contrary to the cope from the slide above, Americans have more disposable income than Canadians. All of these Canadian emigrants will have health insurance provided by their new jobs, so the standard Canadian cope about not having to worry about going bankrupt due to medical bills doesn't apply.

Canada has a serious brain drain problem and zero plan to seriously address it. They actually do the opposite and advertise that if you bring your company to Canada you can pay your workers less and they import "skilled" workers from overseas to try and compensate for the loss of their homegrown talent. Linus may be paying "competitive" wages, but I guarantee that he's paying wages in the light green box, not the dark green and getting the people who can't or won't move for the big bucks.

This matches what my dad told me when he was in grad school in the 90s with colleagues in Toronto. Everyone who willingly stayed in Canada did it probably for the benefits as they were taking a big pay cut over US wages.

TFW IB was a scam that makes you do 5% worse than regular high school. At least you don't have to pay for it out of pocket.

Oh man oh man. My friend would link me LTT videos, and everytime I'd see the thumbnails I'd nope right out. Seriously don't know how anyone sees those cuckface thumbnails and thinks "Yeah, this is some content I want to watch".
LegendofTotalWar does it too even though his presentation style is more sensible, for some reason it's perceived as "the meta" to make thumbnails this way.

it's not for some reason, it's because it drives clicks and the analytics don't lie. probably among children but also adults.
 
The comments are all 5 stars. I have $250 to burn, just so I can tow my car using this backpack. THE ZIPPERS, BRO.
If you sort by new, all the comments become Euros crying about the obscene shipping cost. Shit, even shipping it within BC costs $20 USD! Some companies with high value products might eat the shipping cost up to a point but Linus has to go all the way milking these retards.

Here's some numbers from plugging in various locations:
Australia - $50 USD (14-28 day delivery!)
USA - $20 USD (3-9 day delivery)
Germany - $50 USD (14-28 day delivery!)
England - $50 USD (14-28 day delivery, even to the middle of London, WTF)
South Africa - $50 USD (14-28 day delivery)

There is absolutely no way it costs $50 USD to deliver to most of these locations and I wonder if Linus makes a profit from that too or if he's getting ripped off by the fulfillment company.

Shipping from America to Europe is very expensive. 50$ is not unusual.
