On the lan show last night we learn that LTT filmed a sponsor spot for oura and called it by the wrong name the entire video and were surprised when they company was upset. They then offered to do half assed fixes on the video by dubbing over the wrong name with the new one but the company said fuck you.

So this LTT with how many writers couldn't make sure how to pronounce the sponsors name properly before filming an entire video. Talk about incompetence.

It's a Finnish company. Google Translate says it the same way as the company's preferred pronunciation when the language is set to Finnish, though it pronounces it Linus' way when set to English. Also, why did he not reshoot it? It's not a big deal to upload the same video twice; most YouTubers just leave a pinned comment explaining why they had to reupload.

No you don't understand, if Linus reuploads the video he'll lose 0.1% of the engagement and in return lose 1$ in revenue, he simply cannot do this because he's a penny pinching fuck that won't do anything that would mean his views and revenue would fall, even if it would make things right with a sponsor.

He probably thinks The Algorithm™ will come down from on high and banish the video into utter irrelevance based on some crystal ball gazing he did with other YouTube "creators".

No refunds I'm guessing?
 

From 45:00 to 1:06:00 is not just the Oura naming bullshit but also a defect with the precious backpack that he designed so well, where he makes it sound like he's doing a favor to upgrade some holder that the user shouldn't be using to hold weight, even though it's implied this is a backpack as good as rugged outdoor stuff.

During the Oura ring he acts like no one ever talks face to face or via phone which just furthers the Gen Z wannabe faggot way he runs the company. One phone call to verify, this is stupider than the deliberately stupid Sabre bit in The Office. I would think it would be something more accustomed in gay leaf country since they all cucked to having english and french. Linus asks at one point "do you want me to not give you this information?" to which it's becoming a pretty obvious "yes, you talk too much to the point of confusion." This has been brought up before.

>shoot sponsored video on techlinked
>company gets pissed about the pronunciation and communicates it very well
>they offer a piss poor fix
>company still doesn't like it and they communicate it very well
>they instead pull the video without any warning
>Linus and Luke now rubbing each other on stream bitching about how Oura weren't communicating their problems properly

nigga they want you to reshoot it
heck its Techlinked its literally a channel dedicated to unboxing shit so its super easy.

Very professional e-mail!
but also a defect with the precious backpack that he designed so well,
47:08 is when he pushes it from the side and wow, it breaks so easily it reminds me of those Chinese pot metal padlocks that LPL broke with the double wrench method. They brag about it being custom designed but it seems they just got sent a heap of shit by their supplier. FFS soyboy Linus killed it with his right thumb!
49:00 - He hasn't given any consideration to orders that haven't yet shipped but existing users will get a "care package" with some replacement bits and pieces.
49:45 - Linus unveils some possible replacements that are durable but ugly so he decides he won't use them.
51:10 - The Final Solution is unveiled and it turns out to be a similarish design but now made of titanium. It's weird how these guys can't seem to find a middle ground between cheap shitty materials and retarded over-engineering.
53:30 - Linus explains that the changeover to the new design is basically a one time deal and should not be attempted multiple times or the zipper will break. I'm imagining their sausage fingered fans are going to make an absolute mess of this and there will be more than a few warrantying the bag. What an absolute disaster.

56:10 is when they start talking about the "Oura" ring
58:30 - "I only read things, I don't watch or listen to them. So the only context I have is how it's spelt" "They were apparently very upset. We offered a fix, which was I think we were gonna use the YouTube editor to be like 'LOL Linus got the name pronounced wrong' and a pinned comment. They weren't happy with it and trigger happy newbie here by the name of Colton reacted to this by pulling the video."

The YouTube editor only allows audio corrections in the case of dealing with copyrighted music so their fix was to basically add in an annotation. Linus felt he had enough pull to possibly get YouTube to replace the audio with a corrected dub but he didn't feel it was worthwhile as they had missed the initial burst of viewership. It really shows how little he cares for his sponsors given most viewers would hear that incorrect pronunciation as it'd take days to get YouTube to manually replace the audio (if he even could).

1:00:05 - "It was a team decision that was made. I was not informed but I might've made the same decision anyway. So the bottom line is, we pulled the video, we're not putting it back up." After this Linus rambles about how the Oura guys were not constructive etc. and he won't work with them again. "You can't just spell stuff wrong and then be like 'why don't you pronounce it right' (in a retard voice)". Yeah fuck those Finns and their completely separate language and culture!

1:03:55 - Linus reads the chat and sees "Linus, stop putting your foot in it. In that last segment you throw your staff under the bus and criticize the sponsor." Linus responds with "I'm telling you guys what happened!" after he was rambling for a few minutes beforehand about how this is totally not about blaming anybody and you should never do that in business. "Ultimately what do you want from me?" Linus asks the audience. How about you don't treat your sponsors like garbage and fucking reshoot it you penny pinching cunt?

1:04:30 - Luke starts rambling about some stupid shit. I think his message is that you shouldn't criticize Linus as otherwise he'll hide behind the curtain and send PR people out whenever something like this happens.

The titanium design relies on it flexing. Eventually the metal will fatigue and it will not be able to go back to the neutral position or it will snap. A regular carabiner has a slot cut in the moving part that corresponding tabs on the non-moving part lock into that stops lateral movement.

Ones actually meant for climbing are much sturdier:

Linus isn't buying carabiners though, he's buying novelty zipper pulls. It's normally not a big deal that something like that is fragile and can't be used like the thing it is imitating, but he talked endlessly about how rugged everything was. Judging by his reaction in that clip, I'm guessing he probably did say at one point that you could use the zippers to hang stuff.
This whole fiasco isn't confidence inspiring for the durability and quality control of the rest of the bag.

He said it wouldn't be worth it to reshoot. More like the company said no thanks.


Now he has a video about assmanbald's pre-built pc company (former artesian builds staff). Was hoping GN would have gotten to it first.



Anyone else hate the way he flips that screwdriver every time he pulls it out?

Linus breathing a sigh of relief at the fact it's a limited lifetime warranty that explicitly excludes wear and tear. So they pay a fortune for titanium but the design isn't even appropriate for long term use? Man, they have some top tier engineering talent at LTT.

Not to denigrate the majesty that is Dennis; Linus employs a lot of what is obviously foreign Asians (Chinese). Their work ethic aside, shit that's outside of their first and second language is probably impossible for them. And nothing against the Nordics, but their languages are wonky as shit.

Tech channel/company owner plays around with $20k+ enterprise server hardware for views... can't even host his own corporate email.

It's probably part of my time in the military that makes me roll my eyes at words like "military grade" or other euphemisms for "sturdy as fuck;" but internet shit shilling their products as such make me want to stress test shit to the breaking point. Ridge Wallet claims "bulletproof" with no further elaboration; cool, so let's line them up and see how many we can go through with a .22, 9mm, .45, 10mm, 5.56, 7.62, buckshot, and why the fuck not, a rifle slug. Because fuck you, I'm not gonna claim this shit for you without seeing how "bulletproof" it is. As for these carabiner; string Linus up by one (because he obviously weighs less than everyone else), then Dennis, then Sarah, then Jake, and finally Anthony and see who breaks it. Because that'd be entertaining as well as showing its strength.

They would never do it, and if someone hinted that on Twitter they would say how disgusting and fatphobic it would be to test it like that. Not to mention Anthony would probably 41% if he were to play solely the role of the fat guy because that hurts his feefees.

They made a video where they read the hate comments people wrote about them, however Anthony is only given nice comments.

It's not like they'd include any proper hate comments in that video, they cherry picked the ones that are just sorta ribbing on them and that's it. Also wouldn't be surprised if Anthony only got nice comments because the team knows he's a sensitive little snowflake so they avoided any comments that would even insinuate that he should lose weight for example, because that's a no-no, feefees hurt.

Its all marketing wank. I don't know the number is for titanium (never worked the stuff beyond rare one offs) but "Military grade" steel is generally 4045, Medical grade stainless is 404, aviation grade 6061 Aluminum. Now, these numbers correlate on how much of any given element is in the metal, but functionally it doesn't matter. Its marketing wank. These grades are chosen because of they are the cheapest with the properties required for mass production.

BUT

There are 2 ways you can get any given material. You can order from whatever 3rd world country is cheapest, and you get what you get. It will be close, but if its off, what are you going to do. Or you can pay big bucks and get certified it from a reputable mill. For Military, Medical, and Aviation that is what happens because absolutely noone wants to be responsible if whatever you're making fails in those situations. For your random youtuber shit? For no cost youtuber shit that you are sending out as a replacement to fix your fuck up? That shit is being done cheap as possible, if you're getting titanium at all.

I think it was DemolitionRanch that shot some wallet that claimed to be bulletproof. From what I recall it did well up to .45ACP and maybe some revolvers but I forget it is also not like Demoranch does it for research, but more for "lets just have some fun".
