there are probably regulations against running generators indoors, even with the doors open/ventilation.

they really should have removed the back panel from that case tho

Did Linus already hand over the CEO duties? I'm wondering if this sense of freedom I get from his latest videos is real.

the videos are filmed weeks if not months in advance so I dunno if it's related to the official change in title. but the new CEO was in his tryout period when these were filmed so maybe the workload had already shifted?

Them just walking around that death trap with nothing but eyeglasses to protect themselves was freaking me out way too much and I turned it off before they even used it on the computer. Seems incredibly careless and stupid to do something like that without putting some ballistic panels around it or something.

On the other hand it had about as much useful technical info as any other LTT video so that's good at least.

Why do some car reviewers on youtube (Doug DeMuro, Out of Spec reviews, seen others too) all have the same pose in their thumbnails with the arms out, elbows bent, palms up? I cannot unsee this now. It's just weird.

Demuro was the first one I saw doing that and it became his thumbnail thing, he’s been doing that as his thumbnail style since he started Youtube, and since he’s a big channel everyone else started copying him to get mistake clicks. This is also why you see a bunch of tech channels (I noticed Hugh Jeffries is doing this quite shamelessly) copying Dankpods’ thumbnail style. James gets a pass because he’s a mate.

Honestly copycat thumbnails annoy me less than the practice of constantly changing thumbnails until you find one that takes.

Ahh that makes the most sense if it was just one popular guy's affectation and then got copied.. Just really was strange to look at the page with all the videos and see them ALL like that. Really weird.

youtube is launching an integrated and automated thumbnail A/B testing feature so everyone's going to be doing that soon

Gamers Nexus did a test with the game Stellaris but I'm not sure what they mean by turn here. It's a pausable RTS where the smallest ticks are one day, so maybe they decided a turn is 100 days at the fastest speed, or something like that?

They said in the video they'd post the full methodology explaination once their new benchmark suite was finalised so I assume they'll talk about it then.

you could set that up by having an end-game state with full universe control and just having a save with a year left on a piece of research with a timer to trigger once it goes off

gotta make sure you've exhausted all the event triggers obv

I'll dig on them, it's hilarious that they're still taking Star Citizen seriously as they always implement [feature of the moment] to try and grab headlines from games media who otherwise pay no attention to it.
