Actually, wanting accountability is abusive.

e. lol this guy has a 310k Youtube channel and his latest video is about his new Texas mcmansion :thunk:

e2. but just to be fair to his point, yes, if people were to demand perfection from LMG, that would probably just translate to poo poo working conditions. No one is demanding perfection from LMG though. Just that they slow down and do better and let people work

"It's worth noting that when Steve says, I haven't enjoyed the process, he's smiling quite heavily."

Got em

This is actually one of the few (only?) times he actually shows a clip of the show, and it's just Steve's regular pained expression, he's barely even smiling - the one clip he shows doesn't even back up his point, whatever the gently caress it was meant to be.

I love the idea that uninformed viewers are expected to know something is an error and to flee the channel, thus negating the need for anyone to point out the errors of others. The invisible hand of tech journalism. Dr. Ian is a moron.

He actually says critiquing reviewers like LTT is punching down

I watched the timestamp up to when he said punching down and... huh? Maybe I missed something by not watching the video, but does he have a different definition of "punching down" than the rest of society? There is no way that GN can be "punching down" at LMG considering that LMG is at least an order of magnitude larger than GN. If anything, GN is the channel I would expect more mistakes to be coming from with their small handful of staff (at least that I can find online), and not the company that has over 100 employees.

It's like complaining that a small 100-odd staff gaming studio releasing a highly polished game is making the major 1000+ employee companies look bad for churning out shovelware. Aaaaaaaaaaand someone's about to show Ian doing just that, aren't they?

While in the process of checking for myself, I watched a late part of Cutress's video, and he excuses the LTT's asterisk corrections by saying that print newspapers never get corrections, or that their corrections get buried at the bottom of page 12, so it's not a big deal that LTT's are similarly so jury-rigged, and Steve pointing out that LTT having access to in-place video replacements (that they don't use!!!) is just jealousy

It sucks

Well I don't think there's any argument that forced air is the worst form of heating, and maybe I'm biased by that because heating is much more of the year than cooling for me, but I hate the noise, I hate the extra couple steps on every staircase to make room for ducts, and balancing airflow enough to get consistent temperatures is essentially impossible.

My next residence will definitely be radiant heating, and either that will also do cooling or we'll do mini splits but there's no way I'm having a central AC again.
