I take the L on that.
They kicked out the guy who made the HID drivers for the joysticks because he wasn't sucking the girlcock. They literally made their own software worse because transsexuals can never not make anything about themselves.
It recently occurred to me that there is an upside to troons infesting the Linux ecosystem: it's highly unlikely we'll see too many Linux distros follow Pajeetsoft (and to some extent Apple) in selling users privacy down the river. After all, if anyone would has an incentive to keep the contents of their hard drives private, it'd be troons.
Neat! I can sorta get back on topic again and kinda tie in a recent LTT video into sperging over weird vintage Brazilian computers and consoles that were made due to their computer industry being subject to insane tariffs since the '70s, like their MSX machines and how the Sega Genesis was made in Brazil under license until 2017.
VEGANAL DIBERSITY SAAAAR
HORRENDOUS
This is like spotting Chris Chan in the wildI just saw Linus at the Tokyo airport lol
couldn't say hi to him because he was all the way in front of the customs and immigration line
Honestly casual doesn’t do them justice and enthusiast is giving them too much credit.
This is why the term Prosumer exists. Consumer level use cases being run on Professional hardware at professional costs.
I thought of calling it that but I figured it still gave the average LTT viewer too much credit. It sounds like the "Pro" in Prosumer implies that the people buying and consooming all of the popular hardware still make use of it to some extent, but browsing the LTT subreddit and youtube comments, it seems like most of what the LTT community buys exists primarily to be turned on, photographed, and discussed with no actual use ever happening. If all of their needs could realistically be met by any other chinkshit hardware, I'd consider them more in the "Power Buyer" category rather than prosumer category.
The prosumer term definitely has a use, but I don't think it applies to LTT's audience. Most of these people are just consoomers focused on spending money on shit because Linus told them to. A "prosumer" in my mind at least has a better understanding of wtf their goal is, but will still fire the parts cannon to get there. The LTT crowd just buys shit because Linus says so without doing any of their own research to see if it'll work, make sense, or if they even need it.
im somewhat guilty of this. computer shit is something of a hobby, and my setup is a retarded amalgamation of thin clients, NAS and an overkill 16 core amd file server with a fancy 2018 gaming motherboard and a hardware raid controller. one day I will add another 32gb ram and centralize most of the stuff on that server on some hypervisor thing but my bullshit setup kinda works and i don't wanna fuck with it for now
Exactly. The prosumer version of the IOT smart device bullshit would at least setup their own homeassistant hub and grab random drivers from github to run the 5 different standards of shit they have, or find a product that does it for them(perhaps also relying on having to telnet into the thing and grab random drivers or adding a bunch of random USB antennas).
this is the reason his smart house video made me laugh so hard. it all worked like shit and he installed it for no other reason than it being smart with no actual use cases in mind.
For those who think it wasn't him, he was wearing an LTT t shirt so it was 100% himI just saw Linus at the Tokyo airport lol

Oh absolutely. I was curious about some of the shit with some motion sensors in the hallway and adding some lights across the room that could be controlled at the main outlet, looked into it and it seems most of the people doing this home automation shit have lost their minds. The subreddit for it is a mess of people constantly fighting with trying to get random fly by night company and kickstarter(same thing really) shit to work, and people complaining about how their family keeps "ruining" everything by using a regular ass lightswitch so you've got people putting ducktape over switches, installing those plastic bubbles to keep people from flipping a switch, all while having what looks like a fucking 4 gang electrical box with 4 switches that all have 3-6 buttons for their 10'x12' living room. Meanwhile they replace switches, outlets, and bulbs every 3-12 months, meanwhile I've replaced a switch or outlet on average maybe once a decade if that? I don't understand why anyone would want to live like a fucking idiot constantly wanting to re-do the electrical in their home.
