GN are some legit motherfuckers, especially in the depressing "CBT of the wallet and soul" landscape of the post 2007 tech and gadget scene that has been engulfed wholesale by china and "I got into computers when the big banger theory told me they were cool now" tards and youtube influencers who will tell you to buy any old sack of shit that has a 1 in 3 brick rate and isn't even as good hardware from 5 years prior as long as their shill checks clear.
The audacity of LTT mentioning "WE DO MORE TESTS!!!!!" Like some sort of gotcha early on is still stuck in my craw, because it's so profoundly retarded. Like doing MORE shit in a fucking ape-like manner means MORE BETTER-ER and more accurate when LTT's battery of tests are akin to linus bumble fucking around and garage kitbashing some bullshit together to test airflow like laser reading the RPM of the fan in conjunction with "How fast does the fan exhaust inflate this bouncy castle" or "How many instances of POORLY OPTIMIZED GAME" to test memory timings.
Linus, from what I've seen as well. Is a toddler that can't do a goddamn thing without supervision. If he doesn't have any handlers or anyone competent in the room with him can't even run a fucking cable cleanly by himself. He literally doesn't know what he's doing or the how and why of engineering even in laymen terms. His "Make your own heatpipes/heatsink" video is evidence of this wholesale without even having to cite any of the other hundreds of instances of him just being a moron dipshit that can only read box backing and marketing crib notes. He is a defacto NPC powered by ad revenue and sponsor dollars that can only cargo cult understand the things he is an "Expert" (Read: His staff has an okay grasp with) on.

GN WHOLESALE GOT EXPENSIVE PURPOSE BUILT GEAR to test goddamn CONTACT PRESSURE VALUES for heatsinks. Several setups to monitor and accurately gauge airflow, and regularly reach out to the graybeard architect type crazy fuckers like der8auer and big dog head honchos from R&D at Nvidia themselves to see the inside of their GPU heatsinks (Despite shitting on them and their practices actively and accurately)
and Steve seems to continue a trend where if they MUST ramble on about rumor mill shit for more than a few minutes it will always be while saying "It's here say and bullshit but here it is" instead of making it the core of the entire topic and having it be 30 minutes of youtube ad break filibustering and "It'd be so awesome, it'd be so cool" posting in a loop.
