GN going for the jugular is odd. Even more odd is the next time he sees Linus in person lol that's gonna be a doozy haha

For whatever reason, I remember a GSync vs Freesync blind test.I remember some chair reviews he did, and a river of blood spraying from his finger.
Well, Linus more or less tried to throw everyone under the bus.GN going for the jugular is odd.
Oooooof!I unsubbed from all their channels. I don't rely on a single outlet for information and I found them pretty entertaining but the whole Billet Labs prototype thing was just insulting.
The double down response posted on the LTT forums was just icing on the cake.

Then nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure...Lets do it, Vegas MGM grand event. Opening Fight: Steve vs. Linus, main event: Zucc vs Elon. We'll all die of cringe together.
In that case they should just drop the whole "lab" and "consumer focused" bit.I cannot imagine the Consumer reports model working, it is too late and not what we want from LTT.
Can you imagine starting tomorrow, no we would never review an item we did not bought in a store ourselves, will never engage in some nda-embargo with anyone, never have an entity near or far engaged in review ever engaged in content that was provided by a company (access, product, interviews....) the really basic you do not need to be a journalist to know all of that.
This will lead to terrible content, reviews many weeks after product are launched with hundreds of reviews already, nothing much interesting ever, you cannot really be in the news, entertainment and serious reviews at the same time, LTT should stay a Bon Appetit-Singing competition where the food-singing is not the really point, the tech is just a reason to have an office show occurring.
They should make some effort but I am not sure they should ever pretend to have the first journalistic integrity, it is a field that was build by non journalist with 0 journalistic background institution involved and it's a bit too far you need to not be serious journalist to compete, a video denouncing LTT bad journalistic behaviour did not even do the very basic, again not having to have spent time in journalistic school to know ultra basic step to contacting LTT for comments on all the allegation they were about to do. It is a field where it is considered ok to respect a company embargo (let alone review guideline).
They all do, any of those reviewer would refuse the invitation to visits lab, have interviews with product developers, free and more importantly before public launch product to review ? Or product placement that are coming from the industry they review ?You can't have your cake and eat it too.
The only thing that is odd is LTT being allowed to behave the way they do without accountability.
Not wanting to spend $100-500 CAD to properly review something out of their $100,000,000 CAD corporation is beyond shameful, especially when it can potentially destroy a small startup company.

Linus didnt choose the thug life, the thug life chose him.Are we now at a point in society where "tech nerds" and "social media" influencers / creators are becoming f'ing gangsta ?... my goodness..
Some MMA/boxing faceoffs, matchups are cringe enough.. now this
Rossman moved his home and business to Texas at the end of last year. He relocated to Austin.Louis Rossmann is a big pro repair guy. Though he's more about right to repair and NYC real estate than repairing Macbooks, which is what he was known for. I've crossed paths with him on a subject about Hector Martin and his asshole nature like the guy from GrapheneOS. Mainly about how Hector Martin is all about that Patreon money to slowly get Linux working on Apple M series hardware. It's been 3 years and Asahi Linux isn't what I'd call a daily driver. There's a lot of open source projects that seem like they're giving the community free software when there's actually a business plan behind it. The only difference is they don't have a boss to report to.
The only reason Linus wanted GN to contact them first, would have been to prevent them from releasing the video. It's not like LTT would change their ways if that would happen. I really doubt this is gonna change LTT going forward. What it will do is remind people that clicking on their videos is not worth your time.It is really the very minimum for GN to contact Linux for comments, but GN is not a journalist and do not pretend to be and I imagine its audience do not imagine it to be either, it is just a show.
I know the perfect place to put it.Don't forget your LTT Screwdriver for only $70.
He still talks about NYC a lot. His hatred for that place must be high. I don't blame him, I live near NYC.Rossman moved his home and business to Texas at the end of last year. He relocated to Austin.
This is Steve's strength. If there's something negative to say about a product, service or person, he'll have a full write up finished by lunch.GN going for the jugular is odd.
Not the only possible reason, would have wanted for example to be clearer that the selling auction was a charity one from a miscommunication that they agreed with step to reimburse the custom prototyping (which GN would have been free to include or not, with the response from the startup to let the audience judge by themselve).The only reason Linus wanted GN to contact them first, would have been to prevent them from releasing the video.

I don't think Louis Rossman hates the people nor culture of NYC, but the inane bureaucracy, municipal corruption, and constant awareness of greed of downtown real estate just got to him. The fact he can't stop talking about it means he wishes NYC would have worked out for his business.He still talks about NYC a lot. His hatred for that place must be high.

Things were much more subdued when we had "consoles" being smashed on stage.Many "tech-tubers" seem to exist on drama and those who have some degree of success start to get a huge head about them as if the companies they review/find problems with need to kiss the ring or else they'll turn their slavering hordes of consumers against them. Maybe I'm just getting old and I remember there was always some drama, but things were different when the previous generation of "top tier" tech review sites were operating including [H].

Has for clicking the video not being worth your time that like saying a cooking show it is not worth your time for x,y,z reason, that it a really strange point of view, do you like the show or not. You do not need youtube videos and certainly not LTT for reviews when you need one
So true. GN Steve the definition of a double edged on one side of the slice he's defending the consumer and brand or company and amidst the same slice chopping your whole ass dome piece off!This is Steve's strength. If there's something negative to say about a product, service or person, he'll have a full write up finished by lunch.
We have to always remember, never wish for someone else to fail, because the failure of the person that wishes it will be greater.
What debunked ? I as a watcher of the GN video I did not understood that the auction was for a charity, one had to know. He confirmed not asking for comments it was not debunked as for Linus having decided to reimburse them how can you debunk that, how would one know ? We just knew he have not yet do it or confirmed it to the company, which GN would have been free to include and let the viewer decide if LTT is lying about it or not.That was completely debunked in GN's video just posted today and screenshots of it posted in this thread already. You've got some serious blinders on.
Auction vs selling is semantics and deflecting away from the actual issue at hand. The net result is the same, and the whole bit about charity is an appeal to emotion to attempt to lessen how badly they screwed up.What debunked ?

Even terribly bad journalist ask for comments (they do it with short notice and in a catch you way, but they still do it)
Linus auctioned off some block some company gave him - it wasn't even released yet - apparently, it was a prototype. It caused a lot of problems and Linus ignored the company's attempts to contact until Steve from GN made a video.I listened to the WAN show this week and Linus seemed to address it pretty well; he essentially reprimanded the tech that blasted GN and Hardware Unboxed in that tech tour and apologized for it on the WAN show. But I guess GN took that as an invite to destroy him with a 45 min critique of his business and every misstep he could find in the last year or so.
I'm not surprised. He's always seemed like a smug type of person. Yet, he became really popular. Well, that's what happens, I guess.Auction vs selling is semantics and deflecting away from the actual issue at hand. The net result is the same, and the whole bit about charity is an appeal to emotion to attempt to lessen how badly they screwed up.
https://hardforum.com/threads/gamers-nexus-vs-linus-tech-tips-cage-fight.2029918/post-1045711107- 18 posts before yours. LMG did not reach out to Billet Labs for compensation until after GN posted their video, thereby misrepresenting the situation in their response. Their response implied they had already offered Billet Labs monetary compensation before the GN video was released.
This pattern of deflecting, misdirecting, and lying should not be encouraged nor defended.
It's gets more hypocritical than that. You can look at his library and find countless times he went after companies for offering a bad product/service.So true. GN Steve the definition of a double edged on one side of the slice he's defending the consumer and brand or company and amidst the same slice chopping your whole ass dome piece off!
Don't piss off Steve or it's...
Yes so maybe you choose to not say it in your video, that irrelevant, how it should workAuction vs selling is semantics and deflecting away from the actual issue at hand. The net result is the same, and the whole bit about charity is an appeal to emotion to attempt to lessen how badly they screwed up.
Yes, I saw all that, it does not mean they did not have decided that it would reimbursed them, and it was not just in the time in between a decision is made and it is all finalised and Billet Labs was contacted about it, a video about it can speed up the process or LMG could be lying about it, you can let your audience decide.LMG did not reach out to Billet Labs for compensation until after GN posted their video
Well, LTT could ask for a court order to return the block from the winner of the auction, since technically it was an unlawful sale. The said person would of course be entitled to their money back (from LTT, not the charity), in order to make both parties whole.Now that the ES is gone there is no way for Billet Labs to ever recover the opportunity and R&D costs spent developing the sample in the first place. The money gained from the auction is not going to be able to cover the total costs spent developing the ES.
