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

Next Highlight
Sorry if it was posted already.
Apparently LTT released a smaller version of their screwdriver, a precision screwdriver that looks similar to and accepts iFixit precision screwdriver bits. The iFixit CEO got mad about it at first but chilled out later. Minor drama. This new screwdriver has a fidget-spinner at the top.
EDIT: relevant sections at 18:30 and at the start.

You have to love Linus' claim that he "innovated" because he added a couple of magnets. It's an exact clone, who is he kidding?

A screwdriver is a screwdriver, go on amazon you'll find half a hundred that are pretty much identical, They're both spergs for having even a minor slap fight about it.

Eh, I can kinda understand the iFixit CEO being a bit mad. This isn't just some random chinesium knockoff factory that you can't really help, this is one of your huge content creator partners that you've likely payed tens of millions to over the decade to sponsor the product, coming in and basically cloning yours. Gonna feel a bit like a betrayal, and biting the hand that feeds

OH BOY I CAN'T WAIT TO CONSOOM [CREATOR]'S LATEST CHINESIUM WHITE LABEL PRODUCT CLONE! WHAT COULD IT BE??
It's only twice the price for half the quality! And it's got a heckin' cool fidget on it because that's what my normie retard brain needs when I'm working on small electronics!
No way in hell I'd ever buy anything from the company who can't even get a dropshipped backpack right with "trust me bro" warranties with the "you were using it wrong by being in the rain" community of 90IQ nut huggers around it.
Meanwhile iFixit and GamersNexus making branded and partnered tools and repair supplies with guides to actually do something for consumer rights instead of shilling upcharged chinkshit every chance they get.

If I were to buy one, it would be the iFixit just to support them. LTT is infested with Ching-Chongs, so of course they will make knock-offs. Someone should make a knock-off of the LTT set and call it 'Faggot' Bit Driver since that is Linus's nickname.
Or just find out the Ching-Chong manufacture and order them direct and sell them on Amazon under the "XLOGNADING" brand.

I know I’m late to the party but i noticed that anthony appeared on a members only video a little over a month before he ’left’. Lends a bit more credibility to the theory that this wasn’t ex voluntary on Anthony’s part. One month its bisness as usual you’re making FP content next month you quietly leave your job of many years despite being both a public figure and a troon.

I have an iFixIt set, mainly because I enjoy they host repair instructions on their websites, not just sell tools. But that being said, I subscribe to the Snap-On meme.

Something about how everyone will shit on Harbor Freight tools; but they also bought a dozen 10mm sockets from them.

It's funny to see other "big" channels with half the follower count and way fewer consoomers in the audience have better merch modeling than the chinesium tech shill channel.
Non dysgenic person modeling the clothes.
Said person is hygienic and well groomed.
Clothes are well fitting and flattering.
No autogynesmile or smarmy face.
Just one or two people and a camera man outdoing an entire building of designers, photographers, editors and "models".

I’m sorry which of those photos is supposed to look good? They both look like shit.

Been a real good couple of years for that guy, huh?
I think he recently moved all the computer stuff out of his house and into an office though, so at least he didn't lose the tech and, in theory, could still work.
 
He says in the video his office is still good. But because his office is only a mile away and has no shower he isn't allowed to stay there overnight, and since everything in the area is pretty much gone and living with his parents for the time being would be much greater distance, he doesn't know about the viability of the office moving forward.

Linus was at CES all week doing gay stuff, but below is video from Bitwit, his house burned down in the LA Fire while he was at CES. He was at least able to find his office keys so he has a place to live, and his college diploma survived perfectly. His girlfriend and cats escaped.

This is why I’ve never liked Steve.

Now I am getting MATI.
Steve just uploaded a new video, and one topic was the ASUS 5090 video card. He goes on an autistic nitpick about the marketing specific to their marketing "Military Grade Components" and states that members of their audience who served in the military knows what that truly means. If you read the comment section, you'll see shit like this:

Perhaps ASUS is spinning a yarn, but there are true and honest military grade electronic components. From previous interactions with acquaintances, some semiconductors are radiation hardened. The MOSFETS and capacitors; I don't know what this would imply outside of the military temperature range of components and tolerance.

Dude needs to do more research to really understand what this means. It took me 2 minutes to Google:

Certainly, it is still marketing and part numbers are not listed. Since it is marketing, perhaps they are just components used by the military that do not actually instead of mil rated. There is a short blurb about all the mil-spec tests the mother board goes through. Sorry for the low-rez:

It still all well be marketing really pushing something that is overdesigned for a motherboard. But this comes across as something that Steve just can't hold a light to. He is at his limits with real technical deep dives.

Late edit:
10 more minutes, and ASUS ROG MOBOs use functional polymer caps:
