- looks at the specs
  Yeah it makes sense they couldn't afford to put any ram in
- 64GB of EEC RAM. Can't remember the brand, but Linus T made a big deal about wanting EEC. (And rightly so for his usecase)
  
  Kingston
- How much does that cost?
  
  Today or tomorrow?
  
  Its not about how much it costs. It about how much it saves...
  PewDiePie
I was very surprised that Linus (T) didn't knew about arch btw. And even didn't know about Linux ISO joke.. Come on.. Linus is really only looking at emails.
- The only way to stay sane
Haven't watched the video yet, do they kiss passionately with tongue?
- Looking at that still frame pic, that might just be incest.
- yeah, although Linus admitted he is gay
  
  Which one?
So the video is just the two of them pulling out a 20 year-old ThinkStation and plugging in a flash drive?
- Good luck building the kernel with that over and over
I enjoyed it. Bit of a different way to do an interview.
I think I made it 5 minutes. Linus (S) can't be professional to save his life.
- You didn't last long enough. Really good flowing interview after the initial over the top YouTube shenanigans
  
  I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.
  
  Well.. Not really. I watch it to the end. It still feels a bit off.
Linus (S) went extra annoying for 2/3 of the vid. He managed to be sort of professional and asked some decent questions, but for the majority of the time he was putting on a performance for the LTT crowd.
Holy shit, never saw teeth that looked as fake as Linus T's (apart from obvious gold bling crap).
- Those are his braces that got stained by curry lol
  
  I specifically said Linus T's who doesn't have braces
- Who cares
