Cringe car crash camera repair over at Linus Tech Tips

He was an IT guy, now he is a tech journalist.

What's "skill"? Is that engineering or technician level capabilities? I doubt he has any EE "skills", and probably more than enough IT skills to strike common sense in what his team does. Then again he also leans a lot on his team to test products and write scripts that he can (proof)read on camera.

Nonetheless, if that's all cringe-worthy.. the cringe-worthy thing for me is that this thread is called a "car crash camera"

For me, what's cringe worthy is someone thinking that regards a thread with "car crash camera" in its title is cringe worthy. ;-)

Well, it wasn't a car crash camera? That was a different video.
Or maybe I miss the irony/sarcasm/cynicism.

But honestly, I don't care. Just wanted to make the point that not one person can master every skill, as I sense a bit of elitism in trying to bring someone down for being unable to solder a mini HDMI connector, and then bitching how it's just a YT-cash-grab channel that has no skilled personnel.
(If you're a Lious Rossman, you would invite LTT over to show how it should be repaired, instead.)

I think this goes completely against trusting on auto-didactic and reflection skills for a job. Nobody is going to properly prepared for any job from purely it's education or track record. Sure it can help speed up the process, but so far it seems like they are taking their bloody time to get into (10+ months now). I think it's a similar situation as with GamersNexus, where it's 8 months since they've brought in that fan tester unit, but it's basically led to zero review content so far.

No, it was a "car crash camera repair".

Not for doing component level repair, no, and they don't have any "skilled personnel" for that either, nor do they have the tools. That didn't stop Linus trying to convince the audience at the start that it could all be done with approx $150 or so of tools & consumables (timestamp 3m00s).
