his channel is less about good tech advice and more about watching him gently caress around with and drop expensive stuff. nuking his own raid and loving up the iMac is exactly what makes his channel good.

that's fair, i just wouldn't say he knows a lot about computers

is that why he nuked his own raid by building it in the dumbest possible way? or how about when he hosed up his imac pro and then got mad that it wasn't covered by warranty?

the "minutia" being the level of detail needed to be knowledgeable about computers, for example, being able to do a basic google search for raid modes and comprehend what you've read, or read an irepair guide and understand how to avoid loving up your $5k workstation.

i dont understand how the channel brings in enough money to support all the people who work for it (even excluding that they're in canada and so healthcare is a much more solved problem than if it was the USA) or how they afford the super expensive stuff that isn't blatantly loaned from a manufactur
