Linus Tech Tips Expands Again

As if his previous mega lab wasn't enough, he just bought(?) two 18,000 sq ft building for a LAN contest centre. Insane.

Well, so much for the prediction that LTT was gonna collapse after the whole drama thing. :-DD

But yes, this is kinda insane.

Sounds like its a badminton court rental 90% of the time then a LAN center 10% of the time. We need more badminton courts, though its Langley so too far from me.

18,000 sq foot should fit around 15 courts? $20/hr per court if its fully booked, 8hr day, $2400/day minus expenses best case? I don't think that will pay back very quickly..
The point tracking is a great idea, I was thinking of manual tap with a racquet but if he can automate it, you could charge more per hour.

Cost should be in the $6-10 million range, PLUS all the electrical and hardware stuff hes adding. I only saw "112" address, if someone can find it or recognizes the area.

   He seems to have that "Midas touch" and everything that does seems to make money!

Yep. To be fair, I think they have made some noticeable changes. They have cut down on the jokes, and are a lot more politically correct now.

When are they going to brush up on their technical skills?  :box:

Well they died for me when they moved from the residential house they were making stuff for to the first warehouse they sound proof and build all the sets for.

I unsubscribed them because for some reason I was starting not to enjoy their content. I still pop up occasionally to see if there is something that it may interest me, but with Luke being away of videos (he knows his stuff while presenting in a more professional way) and the new guy Anthony also gone because of personal reasons (Anthony is now a woman called Emily and looks like she had come back to the Apple Newton overview but still to see when regularly) I didn't really see anything in their reviews better than other YouTubers I follow (Gamers Nexus, Level1 Techs, PCWorld and Hardware Unboxed).
