Yup, I only posted it on the off chance that there is some truth here or someone knowns more
I've wondered why the Chinese Government didn't shut her down long ago It would be hard for them to not know she's getting around their measures and what she's posting or if she is/was an agent of government propaganda promoting Chinese tech
Also ties in with the LMG drama as she has accused Linus of sexual harassment and propositioning her on a trip to China
Incorrect testing They didn't use the GPU board the block was designed for as they apparently didn't have one available from their inventory Linus found out about that at the start of filming the video review then decided to go full steam ahead anyway Gotta get that video out Didn't even mention or reference the included manual and other documentation Concluded it was a crap product, a prototype installed on the improper GPU, in the video and also on the WANshow That had to have caused untold damage to the company in revenue and reputation
That's its estimated worth according to one potential buyer It's not their total capital value, revenue, or profit value per year Though they likely have the liquid capital coming into hire a few more while they build out the lab The lab is going to be a money pit for a few years till they hit their ROI The issue is that the rate of growth requires a certain amount of liquid capital to spend that is dependent on pumping out videos across their YT channels They seem to need to slow their roll a bit on that growth
That's cause LMG mass produces Technotainment videos for the mass market
Whereas GN is much more technical and takes their time to get the info/testing right Like investing a quarter million into a demi-Anechoic chamber
Different markets and different size potential audience
Today's videos are already in the can Unless they are going back for re-edits Can't really change the content at this point Would they reshoot
I could see them reevaluating videos currently in the pipeline
Could be an interesting day for LMG Wonder if there will be a company meeting We'll see
Server capacity exceeded
Thankfully I got to read it before their forum server took a dump for some reason
I don't feel Linus could have said anything to Steve to stop the video Really, Linus/LMG needed the wakeup call They have been making bigger and bigger stumbles and it's not just due to growth as Linus uses it as an excuse He also said nothing would change as a result of the Billet debacle, just a tightening of documentation but it a sign of bigger issues It was the result of multiple levels of failure He should have stopped the video when he knew they didn't have the right GPU there and even pointed out quite authoritatively to is employee his mistake in not identifying the GPU A symptom of rushing out videos on a very tight schedule possibly
Did you dry it
