Wait, so people used to take this guy seriously? I watched a review he did on some sim racing gear a few years back and it was obvious the guy didn’t google even the most basic advice on how to set up a sim rig properly.
I knew he was full of shit, because hell talk about really complicated things like ram timing like he's an expert, then when he tries to use Linux, a package manager is too complex for him and he becomes less tech savvy than my 75 year old mom, so its pretty obvious he knows nothing when he's not being feed answers by some marketing goon
That Linux video was so frustrating
Indeed it was. That was the shark-jump moment for me, and I wasn't even a part of the community.
This is so amusing to me, because I had no idea who this Linus was - I was only somewhat familiar with Linus Torvald of Linux fame. I looked up last night just to check that the old Linux nerd wasn't running around stealing water coolers and such.
Extra funny to see a comment the next morning that this Linus knows zero about Linux.
My impression was that the linux video was meant to be more of a vlog "Watch Linus Do Something" style and not a researched video. And its obvious that he would know very little about an operating system he has never used before.
it was a different style video, but he had used linux before.
he even knew he should use the package manager, but for some reason didnt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For those who aren't aware why errors are an issue because all they've seen is wacky LTT videos where they mess around with stuff--Linus is the most popular (and profitable) computer hardware Youtuber, and he's always done hardware reviews, but to some degree this whole scandal came about because of him wanting to be taken more seriously. Recently he's been using his millions in an attempt to become the most authoritative PC hardware critic by building and staffing a state-of-the-art testing lab. It was one of his lab technicians who made the comment about how their testing was better than that of more respected channels like Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed that kicked this whole thing off. And the whole lab thing makes the continuing inaccuracy of the videos seem that much more egregious.
You should see the shitshow when he tries to use Linux. It's astounding someone that uses a computer can be so fucking inept. Pretty sure it's all an act to further shit on opensource, which surely won't pay the bills for them.
yeah the linux videos were when I first noticed their lack of research, I always suspected it, but the linux videos made it obvious. Linus did absolutely NO research and put no critical thinking in those videos whatsoever
Well yea, same with the old mechanical keyboard video, but their new Mechanical Keyboard video is pretty well researched.
There is no way to set up a sim rig properly. No matter what you do it would still barely feel nothing like real driving, nevermind racing.
