Todd strikes me as someone who has multiple irons in the fire at all times. Who knows when some of that stuff was recorded.

I know he has multiple long term tests going at once, so it wouldn't surprise me if he schedules some of his videos weeks or even months in advance. How long ago did LTT release their stubby screwdriver?
 
Been seeing a lot of Linus fanboys claiming Steve did this out of fear of LTT kicking him out of business.
So here’s a fun clip they clearly never saw

They go into severe autism here even measuring the liters of volume and comparing it to others.

That's actually really common for MITX cases, they are generally sized in liters as a measurement.
Anything sub 10 is considered pretty damn small and needing sacrifice of a lot of stuff being either coolers, GPU size, PSU ect ect. 12ltr is where you sometimes get cases that allow a AIO or more than 2 slot cards then after that its mostly about fitting a GPU past 2 slots or better cooling.

tl;dw it did quite alright, it has almost no ratchet back drag and virtually no side-to-side wobble, so it's not bad at all.

I have the non-ratcheting PBS stubby screwdriver that store bits. It's simply tossed in my bag and did save my ass maybe a couple times. The grip is very uncomfortable due to the bit storage. For one of those, I can get 2 Wiha ones so it's not really worth the money.

LTT's nonstandard short bits are just stupid. They cope by claiming it's for storage but really they're just tying you into the ecosystem. Once your bits go bad, you have to buy a new set from the LTT store.

Ratcheting screwdrivers without bit storage is far more comfortable. Just get a ziploc bag to store those bits, it takes up no space. I find the ratcheting quite pointless on short screwdrivers, the normal PBS stubby's bit storage cabinet rotates.

It does take bits, but it has the captured spinning top and is slim enough for using on most electronics. I recommend getting the version with Wiha bits, but be prepared to deal with overpriced listings or the possibility of counterfeits made by even less scrupulous Chinamen.

If you're really a cheapskate, just visit tradeshows. I have 2 boxes of these I got for free. If you're tightening screws all day, then get the Wiha SpeedE and write it off in your taxes.

None of these scenarios involve LTT's screwdriver. For something in the same price range, normal people would get PBS. For something cheaper, it'll be Wera or Wiha, or Japanese brands like Vessel. For really cheap ones, Taiwanese/Chinese tools exist.

If LTT wants to distinguish themselves, at least among people who use/snob over tools, they need to either up their game or make it competitive in the mid-range market.

My 2 cents.

Hell, I bought a $25 screwdriver and bit kit off Amazon for taking apart my GPU, Sure it's bigger than the LTT screwdriver, it still fits in a pocket, but I guess when your identity is a tech bro fag with no pockets on your skin tight jeans, you need that prison wallet storage capability.

GN already surpassed LTT years ago, LTT has to do clickbait, while GN routinely does interviews and exclusive content with AMD, EVGA, Intel and other big name industry leaders.

I wonder if this PC was originally a iluminaugthy Collab?

Logo is basically the same, same colors, I wonder if they had to pull it out at the last minute when the allegations burst.
They did a Hasan PC, I don't doubt they would also do a Collab with a left wing insufferable know it all count.
(I'm a fucking retard, the video is 2 years old, sorry).

Third time I have tried to write this post - getting very annoyed

Max's tiktok on the Madison situation: https://old.reddit.com/r/LinusTechT...xine_vagueposting_about_why_madison_actually/
The audio goes "I know something you don't. I know something you will never know."

There was another female employee at LTT about 6 years ago. She appeared in a "How is it to work for Linus?" video, where she says that Linus looked at her twitter before hiring her. After leaving she tweeted that she did not like the work environment

Going back to the original Madison situation.
This was Linus' original responseoriginal linus answer.PNG

Anthony's boyfriend liked Madison's tweets.

Other Madison tweets related to her accusations

She/they is also not trans. Why would you think that?madisonnottrans.PNG

Also I don't think the full twitter thread of the "apology" by the Labs engineer has been archived here

What's wrong with that? It would be negligent not to, especially for a media company.
Click to expand...
I agree, but it is indeed a bit strange to ask these additional questions:
tweet female employee 2.PNG

Also, not really needed for any company if the employee is not public-facing. I would expect a company to check social media, but on their own, not to ask me why I post this or that (unless my job was about social media)

btw, Anthony shirt in that same video

Honestly it's pretty telling that most women who worked there didn't last and certainly have not said anything good about it since.

I am not sure how naive you have to be to watch their videos and think it would be a good environment to work in, especially as a woman.
