Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

Make sure to never include your face when sending nude pics. Plenty of anonymous dick pics out there.

Gamers Nexus (another highly respected tech YouTuber) called out LTT for their mistakes and performances over the last few years, the overall point being that they’re moving too fast and causing multiple mistakes in their content.

There’s a current controversy with a company called Billet who gave LTT a custom water block to test and instead of testing it properly with the 3090 it was made for, they tried it with a 4090 card (and it obviously didn’t work)

Linus doubled down on their results saying it wouldn’t have mattered anyway because it’s a rubbish product and no one should buy it (which came across very poorly, why even agree to test a product if you know your going to trash on it)

The whole situation specifically looks like it’s triggered some upcoming changes in LMG and hopefully the outcome is better, more accurate video content

Are we just really posting selective parts of this video? I could have sworn that when journalists / the media do this everyone is up in arms about bias and creating a narrative, but when we do it I guess it’s fine?

Yeah that’s the most brazen part. They’re more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren’t taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the “free market” produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

One thing I’m really surprised about is that the overall screen strength doesn’t seem to have improved over the last 5 years. Screens are still much better than what they were over a decade ago (where a drop without a case was pretty much a screen crack)

But I’m finding on my Pixel 7 pro for example that I’m still finding light scratches, it feels like these screens only have a 5 or 6 on the mohz scale where you’d usually expect a 7 or beyond.

I think the end conclusion wasn’t great. He said

It wouldn’t matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

D4 will always be around. It’s one of those games you can leave for years and come back to later. Be super keen on giving it a go once it’s decently priced tbh. They definitely don’t deserve 100+ AUD for it though

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they’re pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he’ll learn nothing.

Never trusting rockstar with another game. They CBF to even update RDR2 on PS5 to give it a basic performance mode, so why would I trust any of their new “remakes” will get support

It’ll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪

I’ve used vanced for years and revanced for easily 6 months. I haven’t heard of anyone getting banned since it uses MicroG for the login, but there could be a part of the TOS everyone signed that says you can’t use your account to bypass their “rules”, so it could be a technical violation 🤷‍♂️

That’s a fair take also. Plenty of YouTubers have said they get decent money from people who watch their content from premium members. They’re never really transparent with how much (compared to a normal user view) these views are giving them, but that’s fine.

Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that’s a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads

It’s a good option for when you want to follow every instance and not be beholden to the server admin randomly de-federating an instance they don’t agree with personally (which was one one of the issues Reddit faced, mods with their own agenda)

If you run your own instance you can choose exactly what you get to interact with

From that small screenshot it actually looks pretty nice

The sentiment feels on point however, that this users experience with Firefox has been poor and issues flagged have not resolved in an eternity. I’ve definitely felt similar exhaustion with other systems.

PayPal can just up and freeze your account at any moment, keeping all of your money locked away. I’ve read of several ebay sellers who’ve used PayPal before and ran into Issues when trying to withdraw. If I wouldn’t trust them with regular payments, why would they be anymore appealing as a crypto coin?
