It's funny reading poo poo like this was a vicious takedown.

GN dude meekly pointed out poo poo and gave Linus a ton of leeway and good grace to explain away the issues and a path forward.

Biggest kid gloves take down I've ever seen.

And also yeah the Emily taking a step back thing sucks for all sorts of reasons.

The journalistic standards poo poo just falls apart by the very fact that it wasn't an expose it was an opinion piece.

People taking up arms around that are just can't defend against the thesis of the argument.

What does that mean? There was an existing video where that card happened to turn up, or are they going to turn this shitshow into more content?

Company sent a prototype for testing with a video card. Linus takes the video card off the block uses a different GPU and uses 2 staff that haven't had water cooling build experience and makes a video trashing it because he thinks it's over priced. He gets called out for the using a different GPU and not giving it a fair shake. Basically says it would cost to much to do so when the outcome is still it's an over priced useless product.

Found out later that not only did he auction off the block itself but he also lost the card it was originally attached to and just recently found it via his weird content.

Nitpicking is Linus saying that it was wrong of GN to say the block was sold instead of auctioned for charity. That's a non-substantive change. What I'm talking about isn't so minor.

When they got hacked they for some reason put in Linus nude walking around reacting when he got the call.

Apparently one of the employees agreed to do it and started from a blurred screen and did a reverse blur so no cock and balls were viewed.

That's the story anyway.

Eh if the video is really "why we did or didn't reach out for comment," just seems like a reaction to a petty response in the first place.

That video isn't going to change anyone's mind. Anyone who is legitimately holding that opinion isn't doing it for valid reasons, just purely emotional ones.

Youtube serves ads and videos from the same IP addresses so DNS blocking doesn't work iirc.

I'd give them a pass today, CES is happening and it seems like every parts manufacturer had their embargo end at the same time. So these were probably made in a single shoot. GN had 2 videos go up about half an hour apart and Paul's Hardware I think had 3.

Framework seems like a neat idea if you want non standard modules to be "built in" to your laptop. Like if you could fit a decent DAC into one of the I/O mods id probably be down.

For about 20% less than what its currently.

Car audio usually has it going the other way.

gradenko_2000 posted:

this is sort of a dumb question: you have something like the Playstation, where plugging headphones into the 3.5mm jack works just fine, but they've locked wireless connectivity behind proprietary Sony headsets

or the Switch, which did not support Bluetooth audio until months (years?) after its initial release

is it not possible to have a device that plugs into a 3.5mm jack, and makes the source think that it's a regular old pair of wired headphones, but it takes the audio input and broadcasts it over Bluetooth, and it's this device that connects to your Bluetooth headset? I can't possibly be the first person to have ever thought of this.

but you can find a transmitter/reciver.
