I'm calling bullshit on this. If this is true it would mean there's been a Canadian procurement program in the last 20 years that hasn't been an utter failure.

The armored versions were really expensive though so a lot of price padding in effect there but compared to the basically naked Iltis in Afghanistan the price was justifiable.

Really I'm more surprised that this didn't somehow involve a contract to have the Irvings or Bombardier get into producing G-Wagons on license in Quebec.

LTT's Mac Address channel did a collaboration with a retro tech YouTuber on restoring a vintage "compact" Mac. Want to guess which one they went with? Was it LGR, the biggest name in the retro computer space on YouTube? Was it Adrian's Digital Basement, who has restored a dozen of those types of Mac on his channel? Was it Action Retro, a tech clown in LTT style who specializes in retro Macs? Was it Tech Tangents who did an amazing retro computer display at LTX 2019 and who does amazingly thorough computer restorations? Was it Curious Marc who had more knowledge of electronics than everyone working at LTT put together? Was it This Does Not Compute whose host has a deep love for vintage Macs and a nice laid-back attitude matching Mac Address's Jonathan Horst? Or was it Steve from Mac84, a channel hyper focused on component-level restorations of 68k Macs? No, it was the 8-Bit Guy. One of the staff from LMG had to go on camera and warn Jonathan that retrobrighting might actually make the yellowing worse in the long run.

The 8-bit Guy knows where the bodies are buried, that's the only reason I can think of for why anyone even continues to acknowledge him.

I’m really glad he went with 8-but guy… every other tech YouTuber you listed I watch. Some more than others. But I credit curious Marc with getting me back into electronics 3 years ago. The collab between LTT and ElectroBOOM still stands as the only ElectroBOOM video I’ve never watched including the ones that were banned from YouTube (ligtenberg (sp?) figures in wood). If he did a collab with one of those guys I would not watch it… yes LTT irritates me that much

Even if that’s just a BB gun, it isn’t even slung in a way he could actually use it quickly or efficiently. Would he try taking the holster off? Try to fling it over his shoulder? Who knows?

He seems like a harmless awkward doofus. The gun thing is weird and I remember being surprised when I saw it, but he might have a gun kink and just like being able to walk around with one because it makes him feel tough and intimidating and people give him a 2nd look, because, well, he can. Although, who knows. He could be sporting a full prison backpiece tattoo underneath that Commander 16 or ATARI T-shirt

I don’t know the particulars of this weirdo so maybe I’m showing my rear end going from the hip on this, but if I’m reading it right and he’s OC’ing (fake) guns in big box stores to basically feel like he’s a manly man and intimidate people then, no. He’s not a harmless weirdo and, as someone who actually likes real guns, gently caress him for being an irresponsible rear end and making the rest of us look bad.
