I’m gonna go way out on a limb and assume that his exwife hated the Lyle character which is why he is going ham now. I wonder why they canceled awesome hardwear.

gently caress Bitwit/Kyle big time, and lowkey gently caress Paul's Hardware for whatever part he's had in enabling Kyle's minstrel show truly blows my mind that Paul is in a mixed heritage family and the parent of a mixed heritage child, yet somehow Kyle's racist rear end is his friend??

Has the cause of their divorce been announced or anything? I know it's probably none of my business but with all the Lyle stuff recently I'm morbidly curious.

I try not to theorize because of course I’m fascinated but I also hope for their sake it stays private if thats what they want. Seems like it is. That might be why he stopped awesome hardware.

Linus Tech Tips did another insanely expensive and pointless project, this time an Xbox controller made of solid gold (which is so fragile it can only be handled with cloth gloves): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBQaV0JidZs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk2E1Tunoc8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-tDammqiKw Between this and buying $50k of GameStop stock it's a wonder Linus's wife hasn't divorced him yet.

Judging by the amount of views so far it's just another average LTT video.

He is up on that investment and the controller is incredible so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

The gold controller is cool. Absolutely awful use of money, but if you watch LTT and expect him to be responsible with cash that's on you. He's obviously rolling in the dough, I doubt 70k worth of gold is going to sink the company. Hilarious timing having this project so close to the gamestop share drop.

well why not posted:The gold controller is cool. Absolutely awful use of money, but if you watch LTT and expect him to be responsible with cash that's on you. I mean the man has a personal goal of making sure every employee of his can afford to buy a house. Even if he doesn't pay the best in the business, compared to most business owners he's already being irresponsible with his cash in, uh, maybe a good way? Not going to lie, I wish I had an employer that was hell bent on making sure I could afford to buy a house.

Wow, based in the BC lower mainland that is really a stretch goal, housing prices are insane here. They must have quite the security at their offices if he’s gonna keep a solid gold controller around, in Surrey, lol.

Gamers Nexus heist movie to steal the gold controller when?

There’s hundreds of thousands of dollars of camera equipment, high end server CPUs, shipping cases of impossible to get video cards and consumer market CPUs, not to mention the servers and tons of other valuable stuff in there. I’m sure they’re insured. Only the dumbest of the dumb criminals are going to be finally enticed to break in to their office for a gold Xbox controller that will be incredibly recognizable to anyone who they could approach to melt it down, and it’s too weird to resell, and would probably be recognized in that scenario as well.

yeah but you can't take a 8k RED camera to a pawn shop and not expect them to call the police, the gold controller you can probably just melt and then you've got a lump of gold

Whatever insurance policy he has won't cover the gold controller unless he specifically has it insured and it would be ridiculously expensive to insure.

Based on the remodel videos on LTT I bet one of his staff already has the gold controller collecting dust at their place.

At least he's upfront about that being one big add for NiceHash. He probably got paid quite well for that too. Judging from all the adds for crypto everyone, some folks are putting in a lot of money to keep the current bubble going.
