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

[TheDataHorder]

with the latest video mark should've just hired a part time IT admin to spec out and support the server and relevant infrastructure.
mark may be a smart guy but i doubt he has time to fix anything that goes wrong with it.

 

[indomitable snowman]

Not gonna link it, but his video today was doing a storage solution for Mark Rober (annoying former NASA guy and YouTube Science Man). Mark does make an appearance, and he sounds stoned.

To be fair, Linus and Jake don't really do anything bad or wrong. Just putting Linus and Rober in the same video makes me want to suck-start a shotgun.

I hope Mark has his stuff backed up elsewhere. He could just buy a netapp box or something and not worry about some jank config deleting all of his data silently.

Jfc. Rober is nearly as insufferable as Linus.

If you're dumb enough to trust Linus to set up your backup system, then you probably deserve to lose all your data.

No he is, maybe it's because I could smell his porch pirate video as an astro-turf a mile away (it was making news, everyone was talking about it, I watch it and... "this was a massive setup.") The next time I see him, he's trying to beat arcade prize/ticket machines and going "This machine is rigged." Maybe it's because I used to help out at an arcade for a bit, but yeah, no shit the machines are rigged. Then he had to recreate the porch pirate video a half-dozen times... and his Scam Science videos are just "I'm gonna bore you with the details about how this is rigged." Nigger, it's rigged, they're not gonna let you walk away with a 3DS or Beats by Dre without getting their money back, get over it.

Dude apparently left NASA... to make YouTube videos...

Something about him doesn't sit right with me. Especially with how he's on par with Black Science Man about "SCIENCE!" And the only reason he doesn't beat the black guy is because at least Rober's videos are in real life somewhere. Tyson has to watch a work of fiction and do the calculations to say it's false. Thank you for your big brain take about a work of fiction, now kindly apply shotgun to paint the fucking wall with your brain.

This is what Wikipedia says he did at NASA:

Rober joined NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in 2004. He worked there for nine years, seven of which were spent working on the Curiosity rover, which is now on Mars. He designed and delivered hardware on several JPL missions, including AMT, GRAIL, SMAP, and Mars Science Laboratory. While at NASA, Rober was one of the primary architects for "JPL Wired", which was a comprehensive knowledge capture wiki. He published a case study about applying wiki technology in a high-tech organization to develop an "Intrapedia" for the capture of corporate knowledge.

While at NASA, Rober began making viral videos.

The AMD quad core video that's been in the works for months finally arrives, rather pointless to have a 2006 processor paired with a 2013 GPU but what the fuck do I know, you can see them try and handwave it away because it was also a bad product but this is just a joke of a video.


And I'll have the WAN show later this week but TL;DW, their "Lime Day" deals offered free shipping, and they foolishly left it open for free worldwide shipping over 150 bucks. This caused everyone to buy shit that basically negates their fire sale due to shipping costs (they ship things in crates to the US which is then shipped overseas because Canada is such a gay country).

>Basically Negates
Nah, they fucking lost money on this and don't want to admit it. That's a huge bleeding hole right there, shipping rates are stupid fucking high right now.

The simp who loaned the parts seems to not be happy with it either. The GPUs were apparently their idea too.

Nice to see one of the loaners get mad.

Linus fucking up on purpose isn't comedy, it's infuriating. You want to reach through the screen and slap his hands away from the equipment.
His lab team is a bunch of Peek Squad washouts.

DON'T LOAN YOUR RARE SHIT TO LINUX TOEBAGGINS.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

DON'T LOAN YOUR RARE SHIT TO LINUX TOEBAGGINS.

Can you imagine risking some of your rare shit and wasting hours or days of your time to help a content farm, for free, and then getting all that work wasted and the hardware disregarded, only to be publicly snubbed by the content farm when you call it out? What a waste of your own time, to stroke a tiny bit of ego for being recognized by this clown.

What a shitty response from LTT though, basically "Yea we fucked up lol no we won't do anything about it". My favorite bit is "I tested this part personally" as if that implies any level of quality, I've seen Linus fuck up troubleshooting 101 a hundred times over.

 

[ZipDisk]

It also shows arrogance. He included his notes to make the ride smoother, but Linus probably had the episode planned out long before he got the hardware in hand. He'd call it a putrid pile of shit and show it "Not working" to prove it was a failure.

Some shithead smugly threw those notes away.

Meanwhile, the lender not only got it working with 10, but he also meticulously documented HOW HE DID IT.

This is almost as bad as Masucci sitting in the background while his dad wields a standard Philips head.

The weird thing is, I can see part of the logic. Not Of Linus being a complete shit heel, but not wanting the lender to steer the episode. He still should have read the fucking notes.
Sounds like they flat out phone treed the guy, rather than level with him and say they don't want a backseat driver for the video. Which would have been the decent thing to do.

some autist beat him to it years ago. i refuse to watch linus' video, but his fluoridated gayface thumbnail tells me it's worse.

Much better video:

also, this guy said the setup was trouble free and putting around in windows, the machine was responsive and felt modern. No issues with youtube playback. Apparently elliot rodger 2.0 producer runnoing a multimillion computer clickbait content farm can't into setting up computers

edit:
wow is linus a total piece of shit and so are the fuckwits working for him. what an ass. I hope this linus dickrider learnt a valuable lesson.

>general flakiness of the platform. it's a piece of crap
projection

personal feeling is that this was a fun experiment and i wish AMD had stuck with. i loved multi-socket systems since the socket 370 days, i'd very much enjoy a dual socket 5950x

Why would you lend these complete fucktards any type of hardware. I'd just expect it to come back severely damaged because they are fucking retards.

Doesn't surprise me they didn't follow any of this guy his notes. They are way too arrogant to accept they are incompetent and won't take advise from anyone apparently. Wouldn't surprise me either if they damaged the hardware while fucking around with it and that cause their issues that the nigger who lent it to them didn't have.

LinusTechTips is making the same mistakes as Oceans Gate. Rather than take the advice and offered support of the oldsters that know how to make older hardware setups work, they hire a bunch of clueless, gender confused hipsters, etc to try and make things work.

 

[Miller]

This feels like the video was made with a narrative in mind: to shit on an old product.
It's a bit like the previous video where they bought a chink pink laptop, they shat on everything excepted the upgradable RAM and SSD but he seemed angry when the other guy said that at least that feature was better than what Apple does.

 

[NaggotFigger]

Rate me MATI, but...
Even the most tech-savvy of all technicians (sounds dumb) are fucking ashamed of their incompetency and severe retardation and little knowledge of build or fix hardware. What a massive bothersome.

Because big egotistical YouTubers like him would never ever take criticism or any kind of advices at all. It is like the whole part of those fuckers that shared the same similarities to the other similar "YouTubers". You make money, you ignore your fans, you prove that you are very braindead, clickbait and other steps.
>PROFIT!
Their only way to stay on YouTube is to be as genuinely incompetent and braindead, and sees the fans' criticisms and advices as mere nothing; and they only stay for the cash.

 

[Almighty Space Duck]

What a shame that this system was sent to Linus Cuck-Tips and not someone like Wendell. We could have been treated to a fantastically autistic explanation of Hyper Transport and inter chip communication on old multi socket systems.

Edit-
Thinking about it, only someone like Wendell could have extended the content to cover multi socket systems going from Coppermine P3 (I think) through to early Threadripper/Epyc showing the advancements of Hyper Transport, QPI and NUMA. Something that is genuinely interesting and sets the stage for the witchcraft that is all this PCI-E fabric disaggregated stuff that’s now available.

 

[Nabeshin]

I don't know if is Linus or their team but LTT in general shills a lot for Intel and Nvidia.

You can take his infamous video about the Intel ARC GPU where he told his community to buy it because it's competition even if a lot of things didn't worked on it.

Then you have his AMD challenge where Linus "piracy should be a crime" Sebastian ranted for about 10 minutes on WAN show that he removed because he couldn't play the new Zelda game

 

[tehpope]

A little OT, but the Framework 16' AMD laptops are on pre-order now. So I expect a LTT vid about it sooner or later.

Stuff Made Here is the Gamers Nexus to Rober's LTT. Superior in just about every way.
