Do you walk to those cities or what?

Do you think that in Europe we all live right next to the capital or even next to one of the top 4 biggest cities of our country?

Samsung has its own "Smart Tags". They should be better than Tile, since they rely on the Galaxy network and many more people have Samsung phones than Tile devices, but it'd be nice if Google released one compatible with all Android devices, instead of being stupidly tied to a specific brand.

With a few sparkles of deplorable work conditions on top, delicious!

It's one thing to have an industry shift (which also sucks), but it's another thing to be colonised, have some of your islands bought and almost completely owned by rich folk, who can do whatever they fuck with them and having to feel like a tenant in your ancestors' lands.

There's one hell of a difference and I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually had an IRA situation there.

I mean, in this case I kind of understand it. Hawaii was essentially forced into being part of the US and then forced into being the holiday stop for rich people. I would also hate it if I lived in a small island with lots of tradition and it all was turned into a mere tourist attraction for people who don't give a shit.

It also doesn't help that some rich folk have ravaged the islands by literally buying them

Tbf, I simply didn't see it because I stopped reading halfway through. On the other hand, "tranny" is right at the beginning (and I think somewhere else too), and they seem to intentionally misgender Empress quite a few times, so they stick out quite a lot.

And as other people said, she was expected to output that much social media posts, but now they post the bare minimum. Maybe she was being asked too much after all.

Haha, I'd very much appreciate it myself if it were the case. I don't think you are losing anything if you try to do so.

It has worked so far because the videos used to be good and years ago Youtube wasn't as competitive. From then on, once you amass a decent amount of subscribers it's fairly easy to ride the wave. It is also worth mentioning that his videos are very obviously focused towards "casual" audiences, most of which won't even know when he is showing bad data or doing a poor review.

they call nVidia names all the time, and keep bashing its practices.

Sometimes? Maybe. But let's not pretend like they haven't been called out by the community multiple times for being "too soft" when Nvidia pullsed some shit, even when other reviewers did complain.

Aside from that, when people criticized the video because he was essentially bashing a small company made by 2 dudes^1 , he then went on a rant on a WAN show saying that he wouldn't review the thing again because he is not going to waste employee time and money into doing a proper review. And that he does't really care because, ultimately, he thinks it's a product that nobody should ever buy because it's too expensive, even if the performance was great.

All said by the dude that used to make the weirdest shit and pay a shit ton of money for garbage, but god forbid someone made a waterblock for water cooling enthusiasts (you know, the kind of person that likes spending money on these products just for funsies, like audiophiles).

1. This is funny because he always tries to avoid bashing big corps, like when Nvidia fucks up a product release, but they still find something positive to say about it. But a small company composed by 2 dudes that is lending you a prototype, which is not even their final product? A prototype that Linus himself (because it was him and one more dude) couldn't be arsed to review properly and decided to complain all throughout the video? Let me step on them and destroy their business if possible.

It's actually entertaining, but as a (rather long) summary (mind you that I'm doing this from memory)

• Clip of an LTT employee taking a jab at GN and HUB while presenting their labs by saying something along the lines of "our reviews are more precise because we retest everything everytime", which is a lie.
• Lots of stupid and big mistakes that should have been noticed by anyone looking at the data, like the 4090 being 300% faster than the 3090Ti just in one game/test, when it should not.
• Many of those mistakes not being corrected at all, and if they are, they are done in the laziest of ways and as barebones as possible. For example in the previously mentioned 4090 review, they only "corrected" the aforementioned problem in a comment (which was not even pinned until the community complained), but ignored other problems that were present in the video.
• Many other vids are so lazily done that even if they know they have made a mistake, rather than reshooting it (the whole vid or just that fragment), they will just include a callout in the vid. Not a problem if this were in 1 or 2 videos from time to time, but as of late, it is a frequent problem.
• Conflict of interests/Biases. In a video GN put out as an example, LTT implied that all Asus products are good. A more egregious example is that they like Noctua products so much, that even when their own testing shows that the CPU is thermal throttling with Noctua products, they will still recommend it over anything else.
• Delaying a review of an AMD cpu because his results weren't similar to the rest of reviewers nor AMD's numbers. He didn't want to be "the black sheep".

And now the 2 worst things:

First, they tell you about a mouse LTT reviewed in ShortCircuit, which they essentially bashed because it had very poor gliding (funny because they then chose that mouse anyway for some kind of event)... just to discover that they hadn't taken the plastic sheets off the pads. LTT, of course, rather than amending the error, decided to blame the company for making them "hard to see" (like any other mouse company does, duh).

And the worst of all. They did a review on a prototype of a waterblock done by an indie company/startup called BilletLabs. It was their best prototype so far and the only unit they had, which was going to be used to give it to other reviewers and then continue working with it themselves (this is important). This waterblock was only tested to work with the 3090Ti, but LTT, lazy as they are, decided to do it on a 4090 anyway. Surprise surprise, it didn't fit well at all, so their video was, essentially, pure bashing of the product because, as it turns out, it is hard to fit a waterblock on a card it wasn't designed to work with. And of course, it had poor performance as a result anyway. After community backlash, however, Linus decided to double down, saying that the product was, essentially, garbage anyway (not with those words, but it's easy to read that when he says that he would not recommend it to ABSOLUTELY nobody, no matter how well it would perform), Luke seemed to be... unwell during Linus' rant, btw. He also said that he would not be wasting money on having someone shoot a proper review of a review HE HIMSELF BOTCHED. So basically, he bashes a small company, all while doing a shitty as review even my grandma would do better and then he is out of fucks to give. Not content with that, BilletLabs asked a couple of times for the waterblock, so they could, as said, give it to other reviewers and then keep on working with it. LTT agrees to give it back. What does LTT do, however? They fucking sold it at an auction during the LTX. THEY FUCKING SOLD IT WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE IT BACK. The best (and only) prototype of a startup made by 2 dudes and, not content with bashing them, they fucking sell it at an event to which competitors were in attendance. The fucking audacity.

Yeah. The problem is that the richest people have many loopholes to avoid paying taxes. Getting a minimal salary and then just taking loans against their assets is one of them.
