kliras posted:iirc, ltt were pretty decent at talking about how much it sucks. otoh, mkbhd probably is a little too excited about stuff like that in general Yeah I get they can be pretty good at diagnosing a lovely screen versus a latency free experience Latency shouldn't even be the issue - screens don't belong in cars. I know the mandatory backup camera law made this illegal for new cars but that seems to be one of the biggest mistakes in car design in the past few decades next to the rollover regulations that made all smaller cars impossible to see out of Maybe this is just me being cranky about cars sure but

Is there a term for how our (tacky) vision of what’s futuristic ends up actually informing future aesthetics? Like a reverse retro futurism. Sorta.

Vic posted:Look at the peasants, can't even afford buttons. This is happening real soon since the only, actual, real reason so many screens in cars is because it's extremely inexpensive from a materials cost and is very easy to make 'look good' with a wow factor at the moment. This is eroding though, and we are already shifting back to "I like the ~feel~ of buttons like my mechanical watch" which will then become a mainstay of $150k+ cars shortly.

Generic Monk posted:How much were they offering? I think it was 55-or 60K* for what was described as "you will be a solo admin and you are expected to have the knowledge of an Enterprise Architect, the drive of a business owner, and Linus/that other dude (Jake?) will shadow IT you at every opportunity." (not a direct quote, but the vibes I got from the job description) *55-60K for the Metro Vancouver area is basically poverty wages. The initial thought of "sysadmin for youtube computer man that isn't far from my house" turned sour real quick once I had read the whole job description.

The most frustrating thing about Linus house is that he bought a perfectly good and nice normal house and then proceeded to Groverfy it into the abomination that it is.

That's just what you do when you're a multimillionaire in Vancouver who can't afford one of the actual fancy rich people houses. You ruin a house or entire neighbourhood in Langley. Some rich folks moved into my dad's neighbourhood (all houses built in the late 70s/early 80s) a few years ago, tore down the 45-year-old totally serviceable two storey 4b/2.5ba house with a nice backyard, and put up an absolute monstrosity of a 6b/6ba that's so badly designed they had to dramatically alter the topmost roof pitch halfway through construction to stay within zoning bylaws. It's ugly as gently caress and sticks out like a sore thumb.

The general public's penchant for giant fuckoff houses around here is frankly, ridiculous. The only part of LInus stupid house that I like is those Sony wireless speakers he picked out. But at $2500, Sony can eat the fattest of dicks.

Oh yeah, I know the Alex Clark you mean, he's the one blond-haired dude. I bought my Fractal Design case based off of him giving it a glowing review in the Short Circuit video he did on it. I just wasn't sure if this guy had been an on-camera guy for LMG as well. Just Another Lurker posted:Heaven knows what kind of internal poo poo storm is raging through that place atm. It's pretty telling that this guy announced his decision to quit after Linus' "we'll do better" video, especially when framing it as the result of doing some soul-searching. I'd imagine we're going to probably see some more people announcing their departure in the coming weeks. Sydney Bottocks fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Aug 29, 2023 |

You ruin a house or entire neighbourhood in Langley. probably lopped every tree on the property down too. My neighbourhood has a ton of nice trees and old houses and I am super worried about when they start to get sold and torn down for the monster houses built out as far as possible and the rest is paved. It's why I'm looking for a new place bordering protected green space.
