Linus Sebastion Turned Down $100M Offer
<< < (31/35) > >>
PlainName:
I'm not a LTT hater but I wouldn't willingly watch any of their videos (and I don't like the way Linus treats the kit, without respect or apparently any mechanical sympathy). But that video you just posted would otherwise encourage me to look forward to their new output and I can see it easily making their fans salivate and the can't-quite-decide crowd fall on the side of renewed interest.

Whether they needed to do it or not, or however the whole thing started, I think they've scored a plus if for no other reason than they've shown they are actually a professional outfit with big boy procedures behind the scenes, as opposed to a bunch of kids in long trousers in an overgrown bedroom. (Although whether they actually are is beside the point - the video lets them show what they want to be and which most viewers wouldn't think about).

And he (plus his wife) are the sole owners.
Repect  :-+

But he doesn't care about auctioning off a prototype of a cooler to competitors right after he makes a video about how terrible it is because it didn't work so great for an unsupported setup

They totally screwed that up to the nth degree yes, but we can't really look at one bad thing and judge the company or the person on that alone. Or let that define them.

We have to look at all the good and all the bad as a whole and then decide....Is LTT a force for good, or a force for evil, and/or where does it stand in between those.

I think it's pretty high up on the 'good' side, but no-one is perfect and this recent situation has definitely lowered them a little.

At the same scene there are also a LeCroy scope, Chroma power meter and DMM on the top shelf and 2x 5 mainframe 63600 series loads below it.

Any idea what is the chamber behind Linus?

What about clearly bad reviews. when new cpu's come out some of his reviews show like 5x better performance than any other cpu and they just roll with it, like there clearly hasnt been some benchmarking error.
