How accurate is the technological advice you get from this man?

>>61443242
As accurate as reading the manual you get for your electronics gets because that's basically what he does (plus cringe entertainment pandering to 15 year olds).

Every time he does a sponsorship video, he downplays problems and basically lies for money to underage people on YouTube;
often contradicting things he previously said in the past.
I guess you could say that's the point of sponsorship, but still, the man makes a living by lying to kids about tech which translates to kids making hefty mistakes spurred by a shill. He's human trash.

>>61443242
he's smarter than all of /g/ combined, he not only created the Linux kernel but also runs a media enterprise focused on technology

Linus Shill Tips is
80% >>>/v/
20% >>>/g/
Whether he should be posted on /g/ is debatable.
It is a fact however that:
- He leans more towards entertainment than being educational (even if it is 9gag level entertainment for retarded people).
- His reviews are geared mostly towards gamers and 13-year-olds rather than actual tech enthusiasts.
- He doesn't actually know much about tech beyond the level an average gamer knows.
- He is mainly a marketer and brand shill, rather than a tech(nician) or a tech hobbyist.
A tech hobbyist is interested in much more than just the narrow gaming tech field.
A /g/ related Youtuber should at least be involved in actual projects and wikis or reverse engineering and repair,
tangible and defined involvement like Wendell for instance.
That is to say: His reviews of hardware are shallow and scratch the surface, and the same goes for software,
because that is his maximum capacity and any more would end up with him looking stupid with every word (and he already has instances of speaking stupidity on the shallow level of hardware discussion).

I believe that banning LTT from /g/ would increase /g/'s general quality pertaining to the board's main topic: Technology.

I also believe that moving LTT to /v/ would also increase /v/'s general quality pertaining to video gaming since getting a bit educated on how gaming hardware works would reduce stupid GPU/CPU wars threads.

LinusShillTips isn't /g/. It's >>>/v/.

He is a dumb label reader.
He doesn't know even basic physics, math, or coding.
He doesn't have, and never had, a legit tech job.
He doesn't have any tech related degree/diploma/course certification.
His Linkedin is full of management bullshit, swimming instructor, and boyscout.
Yet in spite of all of this he acts as if he knows anything, and as if he represents the tech collective.

He is a fucking marketer. His hardware reviews are about as informative as reading the fucking PDF.
The average Joe is more likely to get fucked over by listening to his idiocy.
His "humor" is 9gag level.

He is so fucking tech illiterate that he had to employ a special writer for his TechQuickie channel because he's too stupid himself.
The same faggot who tried to push a spiritual book as a solution for Carpal Tunnel or something.

His group is a marketing group, not a tech group.

He had to Internet beg for money in order to move to an office, which he managed to get ripped off on because he is a dumb faggot (admits it).
A fucking hotel cleaner in Las Vegas who gets paid on average $2400-$2700 a month can sooner or later afford what Linus has to beg for on the Internet, or beg to the manufacturers and labels.
He depends on his wife's BJ income, and she looks like those roach monsters from Terra Formars (pic related).
He pays his faggot employees minimum wage [admitted in the WAN show discussion between him and Luke], his ad revenue has halved in the meantime, and YT revenue is shit in the first place.

If you want computer case angles and proper feature description with objective reviews, you watch those faggots HardwareCanucks, who even go as far as reviewing fucking dust filters.
If you want to post on-topic /g/ related YouTubers, you post people who actually have tech jobs, tech education, and practical application; like Wendell from TekShitdictate, or Louis Rossman for board repair and reading blueprints.

Fuck off to >>>/v/.

>>61443242
He only goes over the basic stuff you should already know about by RTFM. Everything that he tries to cover that is more advanced than that is misinformation.
It is a shill channel and underage faggots are too young/dumb to notice it.

He is prosumer trash that appeals to the same audience as CSI: Cyber. They're both packed with about the same amount of useful information.

He couldn't make his Cisco router work. He couldn't make his pfSense router work. He couldn't build a 1u server so "1u servers are teh sux". He clipped parts off his 2u server to get components to fit. He tried to build a NAS. He did that terrible 10Gbe LAN implementation. And He tried to water cool his house with hilarious results.

He is as amateur as they come but he's too stupid to see it. His viewers are ignorant fools if they take him seriously. Good on him for fleecing them but anyone who follows his bullshit is dumber than Linus. I've only ever seen part of one of his videos and I thought it was an April fool's day show until someone pointed out they were all like that. I've gotten wind of all his other fuckups second hand.

If someone advertises in his show I won't buy their product. I'm assuming it doesn't work and they have to pay someone to shill to the ignorant masses.

His show looks like a high school project that didn't work and he's always trying to figure it out at the last minute while the judges are watching.

His wife looks like a Japanese urban legend monster. I know she's probably Korean or Viet but she looks like something out of Japanese lore that greets you on the street after dark and eats your skin if you don't tell her where her dead daughter is buried.

i really love the wan show when he even admitted all it was is him going into his own forum and reading "news/threads" that has posters do all the work for him

>>61443242
He basically reads the side of the box and sprinkles in some 9gag-tier "jokes", so who cares. He has money to pay for the most expensive toys and that's where his value lies.

How accurate is the information from a guy who was never involved in any tech project, doesn't know any programming, never learned or had hands-down experience with hardware, and simply doesn't have any knowledge that a tech-hobbyist would have?
About as accurate as the knowledge of an average gamer, which is to say misleading and always false beyond a basic bare minimum level.

>>61443407
>And He tried to water cool his house with hilarious results.
So he tried to make an air conditioner?

>>61443422
It isn't getting pasta'd. It is just that a bunch of anons who clearly know their shit try to inform you why is LTT shit, and teaching you in the process how to not fall for shills later on.

Work environment at LTT is horrid.
See the guys reaction in the video at 1:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opX-AsJ5Uy8

How the guy so readily accepts the fact that he is fired, showing that his workplace has some real issues with power tripping faggots who will fire you for no reason. It is as if he already witnessed it in person, when it happened to someone else.

i don't know man

it's not about information, he is just internet clown

He gives advice?

>>61443603
honestly not really hes gone full on entertainment. if you want real advice or news lvl1tech or gamer nexus

>>61443603
He is inaccurate because of his focus on entertaining you instead of showing you all the details, analysis, tinkering, and physics behind tech.

If it's boring, it's tech.
If it's 9gag humor, it's LTT and by effect >>>/v/

What species is this creature?

>>61443762
A johj obviously.

I actually like LTT. I find it a rather nice "intro" into new tech with a bit of humor attached.

I did find him annoying at first, but now he's my go-to tech reviewer

>>61443242
That's a man?

>>61443242
The guy figured out the saturation point for computer build videos (1 per week) and maxed out the YouTube bucks.

>>61443242

He is a paid nvidia and intel shill.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>61444420
Socks are too hot, barefoot is superior.

>>61444950
You really need perfect sandals for that though.
The average sandals feel kinda disgusting barefeet.

It highly depends on the video and the aspect of technology he is talking about. When Linus is being serious and is talking about building gaming PCs he's very reliable. He's pretty good with servers and video production too. Everything else... not so much.

50%

his channel, its an income. the information only has to be good enough

his jokes are pewdiepie tier satire

>remember to buy your $30 anti static mat and $8 anti static wristband!
this isn't just a linus thing, every fucking pc building youtuber shills this shit so hard, why?

>>61443242
By his own admission he has no clue what the fuck he is talking about.
He just blurts shit out and hopes for the best and if something brakes along the way he plays it off as a learning experience.

Go watch him wreck 3 motherboards in a 1u pfsense server before he realized he was doing some dumb shit

>>61443348
He's as human trash as gamers are human trash. I built my first pc using his guides to keep my straight on what was what and it worked great. I didn't listen to 'what brand does this and does that'. I don't remember him shilling anything but he might have. I didn't care. I just wanted basic concepts and got them just fine. He's a bit too squeeky for me to watch for entertainment though.

/g/ isn't his target audience you stupid fucks.

Why are you bitching about him when there's actual /g/ youtubers like Wendell?

But the catch is on what he doesn't say.
