Lister posted:Someone saying "I wish we had more time to make videos" in a fluff video about working at LMG can mean something. LOL, if you willingly produce and publish a "fluff video" about what's it's like to work at your company and there is universal agreement from your employees that they're overworked, they think you're making poor quality content, and they can't be proud of the content you put out. Imagine what an actual critique of the workplace would look like if that was the fluff.

A real honest takedown of LTT’s quality issues would have spent twenty minutes discussing nobody in the editing process knowing the difference between a pad and a tampon.

I do love the gambit they are pulling. “We either say we’re at risk of tax fraud or admit that we sold a third party prototype without their permission, lied about it, and are now trying to find it.” I suppose the best option is the best of both world’s. They went to find out who they sold it to because they wanted to get it back/return it because they were called out publicly. They realized that they didn’t keep any records of who they took money from, and now have that much larger tax issue on their hands.

the talent deficit posted:i wouldn't be surprised if linus/lmg can't find a crisis comms specialist who'll take them on at a price they'll agree to. when your client is incapable of not lashing out on twitter you ask for a giant retainer up front This is the kind of contract law that I would find absolutely fascinating to learn more about. Are there contracts that say "My price goes up if you keep access to your twitter account." or "I charge 10k more for every tweet you make."

My general rule of thumb is when a company is in meltdown mode because of credible "everyone in power at this company loving sucks and is toxic" allegations, I stop saying things like "Poor [other person in power]." Not for any moral or ethical reason, but because I don't want to be quoted and dunked on in 20 minutes when the next thing drops.

Vic posted:So my reading of this is Linus being too self centered and real world dumb to not see clear red flags. He's been living in a weird bubble for far too long. If you are in charge, and you put your name in the company, and you put your spouse in charge of things, and you are famous for micro-managing at any time you feel, those are the same thing.

SlowBloke posted:I was actually miffed about the My Mechanics Datsun because his already slow output will be even more compromised. Hand tool rescue is who i was referring to in the "chuck it in the rustoleoum bin" bit. I had tool rescue first suggested after a my mechanics video and i thought "isn't that cheating?". The slow output in combination with the Datsun project is what got me to subscribe to his Patreon. And holy poo poo, I didn’t fully grasp how much work, and how meticulous he is about all of his work. He does daily vlogs and yeah… slow video output is understandable (at least for the car.) Also, his Patreon is worth at least a month to see the shop/storage tour he gave.

We’re here to prove we’re not a terribly toxic work environment by firing a low level employee after we allowed him to represent our company on camera without any sort of editorial oversight which ultimately brought to attention larger systemic top-down issues that exist in our company.

Does high-end benchmarking even have any real-world purpose anymore? Especially with things like DLSS? "The 3090ti at 1440p upscaled to 4k with DLSS set to High quality with ray tracing enabled achieves an average 161 fps. In comparison, the vastly superior 4090 achieves 1440p upscaled to 4k with DLSS set to Ultra quality with ray tracing enabled achieved an average 168 fps."

Here's the most useful study I can actually find on the matter of high refresh rates: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep07861 It certainly isn't a great study (10 subjects only) but from what I can understand of it: Humans can detect a light flicker up to 500hz under absolutely perfect conditions, (singular large blocks that flicker back and forth.) Like maybe the only useful gaming application of a 500hz monitor would be pong. But perhaps most interestingly, is the fact that if you don't have crisp edges that sensitivity goes down. So it's very possible that a 500hz 1080p monitor is actually worse than a 1440p 360hz monitor because you lose the ability to distinguish the change/speed the muddier the image is.

I was trying to calculate the actual advantage you could possibly imagine to gain on a 500hz vs. 240hz monitor when the argument for these is competitive shooters whose servers run at a 120 tickrate. Then I realized it's just audiophile level bullshit that can't be reasoned with and I should probably get a life.

A lot of people said how dumb and dangerous that was and he didn't take it very well to the point where he tracked down some commenter and phoned him and had his real name in the video and it was all very odd. God, YouTube is just the best.

The fun part about talking about first computers is that there's basically always someone to one-up the last person. Someone will talk about their P2, I'll talk about my Apple IIe, someone will talk about their Atari, eventually you get to some old gently caress talking about punch cards.

The conversation usually becomes a (hopefully) pleasant mix of "You don't know how good you had it, not having to worry about IRQ conflicts" and "Actually, I miss the old days when things weren't poo poo." (They were.)

Shipon posted:it's incredible how loving idiotic investors are that they're actually fooled by this generative AI garbage The last 15 years of technology has been a drive to introduce change with little to no consideration to if the product produced is actually an improvement. The Generative AI bubble/gamble is certainly better than VR, but it's also being pushed by big tech because they can control it so completely. "Your industry is going to be completely changed because of generative AI, you don't want to be left in the dust do you? Better buy some of our cloud compute before your competitor does."
