Linus is pretty good though I do hate that he went the clickbait type thumbnail route.


If you want some nostelgia tv type shows there is tekthing hosted by Patrick Norton
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sWaC11f4mxnizvOroOvkQ/videos

As well as The New Screen Savers with Leo Laporte
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFP9Euhwi3GqbQmWS-M-0hA/videos

Though both of these get under 10k views per video so not really sure how they stay afloat.

I always thought Linus was annoying but tolerable, but this Jake guy is terrible and should not be allowed in front of the camera. Case in point

I've been watching a couple of videos on installing an Android OS to an x86 PC, presumably as a "lite" alternative to an OS if you have a machine that's otherwise too low-power to really keep up with general Windows usage anymore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGk3-dzXi3s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDqxa5xBJDs

and it had me thinking: how much more powerful is an old x86 CPU (say, a Skylake-era Pentium or a Bulldozer-era APU) compared to a current-day flagship phone? I'd expect the answer to be "much more powerful" just from the PC having a much larger power envelope (and chip size/transistor count?) but I don't really know. Anyone have any experience with this, or even just a theoretical background? It seems like an interesting way to create a posting station from an otherwise way-too-old machine

I tried android os on a laptop and wasn't that impressed. What does work really well and is pretty similar to windows (enough so that I put it on my parents old laptop and they used it fine and never had any questions) is peppermint os. That thing is hella fast on old PC's.

You know the really brilliant move? Taking $100 mil for your company that does nothing and doing anything better with the rest of your life than making youtube thumbnails.

drat you seem to have a hate boner for linus. Is it because you used to know him, and are jealous of his success while leaving you in the dust?

You do know that they are also a media company in that they do commercial work? It's not just the yourube stuff.

"We would never ask you to go to your abuser, instead you should go to my wife so I can ignore her when she brings it up."

But in that recorded call Linus did say to bring it up first with the abuser directly, which I find absurd.

Isnt a lot of their revenue and why they have so many employees is from doing commercial work (commercials etc)

Didn't he get big off the Johnny Depp trial?

And it might be all for show, and maybe that room he streams from is just in a studio somewhere to look like filth, but dude doesn't even stream on his main channel, but a 2nd channel with subs disabled. Just missing out on millions?

I think the guy just really enjoys streaming and got lucky to get as successful as he is.

I'm a huge liberal, watched lots of asmon, and never got chud energy from him.

I didn't realize how much I loved YouTube premium until my CC expired and my sub ran out. That was hell.

I pay for family and think it's a steal. YouTube + music + offline downloads + no ads?

Considering cable is like $100, and comes with ads, makes YouTube a good deal to me.

Yeah installing non steam games on deck is pretty easy these days (hell even switch games open and play like you bought it off steam)

Most games just aren't buy and never update though. Notch kinda broke the gaming world and turned it into "everything is early access forever, and going to 1.0 = abandoned" mindset. Plus, most games going to being a "service" makes me care about downloading it so I have a copy "forever in case the store goes down" pretty pointless.
