He's so dramatic over nothing all the time. I actually agree with him about this point but the analogy he used is retarded and it's not really worth crashing out about.

The using-the-same-name thing is less of an issue for the steam controller since there's only two of them and they already look very different, than it is for iPads and such where a different name or version number would be much more helpful.
 
Why would Valve using the same name matter? You can't (officially) buy the first Steam Controller anymore and anyone who has it is probably aware what they have.
 
Connecting TV to the Internet is amazing. How can you live without innovations such as laggy web apps, invigilation, typing on a remote, software update popup every few weeks?
Fuck that.
Hook up some mini pc or laptop is the way how Jesus ordained to do.
I had some issues with HDMI 2.1 on my home theatre TV, so I contacted support.
"You need to install the update."
"Will you reimburse me if the update ruins my TV."
"It won't ruin the TV."
"Then you won't mind giving me in writing you'll reimburse me."
I eventually got an email promising I can send the TV back if the update ruins it. Lo and behold, the update removed the option to start the TV directly into an HDMI input, it instead only could start into the shitty "Home" screen that shows various apps I don't use and has an annoying menu to get to the HDMI inputs. This didn't qualify as "ruined" to them, so I did a credit card chargeback. Fuck "smart" TVs, what I really want is just an 83" OLED monitor.
 
i don't understand the appeal of ryobi. for a few bucks more when you wait for a sale, you can get basic bitch dewalt brushless. over like 10 years, wtf is the few $ worth of savings gonna mean if the tool is shittier to use every time you pick it up?
Ryobi gang here. Outside very few exceptions all power tools are the same innards with a diff coat of paint. Ryobi maintains battery compatibility for decades and dummies think they are bad so they regularly go on deep discount. Got a garage full of them, can't say I've been disappointed with any. Have fixed and flipped a handful of houses with them not a tradey. I typically go for their plus line which is brushless. All the same shit unless you are stepping up into non private equity owned brands.

You basically have 2 holding companies that own most of the tool brands.

TTI Group owns Milwaukee, Ryobi, AEG, Empire, Imperial Blades, Stiletto, Kango, Hart, Hoover, Oreck, Vax, and Dirt Devil.

Stanley Black and Decker owns DeWalt, Craftsman, Stanley, Black and Decker, Lenox, Irwin, Bostitch, Facom, Mac Tools, Porter-Cable, Proto, Sidchrome, USAG, Cub Cadet, Hustler, Troy-Bilt, Rover, and WOLF-Garten.

For TTI, Milwaukee is their professional grade product and Ryobi is their consumer grade product for hand tools and then they own specialty tool companies and vacuums.

For SBD, DeWalt is their professional grade product and Craftsman, Stanley, and Black and Decker are their consumer grade products for hand tools and then they have specialty tool companies and outdoor products.

I would say it's similar to GMC and Chevrolet or Lincoln and Ford, etc. It's essentially the same vehicle underneath with some slight differences. Most people don't need Milwaukee or DeWalt in their toolbox at home to hang pictures or take off face plates on their outlets or what have you. If you're on job sites day in day out then you should probably buy them after you break the Harbor Freight version.

Ryobi has a huge product range, including lots of neat gadget-tier tools that take their main batteries, like portable soldering irons, hot glue guns, work lights, radios/speakers, vacuums, blowers, dremels, about every size of fan you can think of (including ones with misters)...lots of neat gimmicky shit. They also have a bunch of factory outlet stores (at least where I live) so you can get blemished or refurbs for super cheap. Nothing particularly professional jobsite-tier, but for homegamers and hobbyists, they're great.

What I meant with the original post that started this topic is pretty much that. No one gives a shit outside of the same consoomers that would buy linus merch. People always misinterpret tradies taking the piss out of something as some gospel recommendation but that's just tradie banter. If you show up with anything you will get the piss taken out of you. If you work in literally any form of trade or construction every single thing you do or own will be taken the piss out of. When someone says you have yellow fever and love chinks because you have le yellow tool they don't actually mean it's cheap chink shit, that's just the culture. The people starting brand wars are basically the same type of autist to use 4chan or reddit humour with their family or boss or whatever, removing the jokes from the context of where they're made makes you look retarded.
 
LTT Merch News alert. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
The bags are falling apart at the seams! There are FOURTEEN failed bags reported in ONE reddit thread. Support is now according to one comments telling them to go to a bagage repair shop. The bags are not even 3 years old yet. It's BELOW indonesian sweatshop quality for 3 times the price! These backpacks are 250 dollars!

All of the fails seem to be the stitching of the zippers is too tight.
 
Makita gang is true nigs, I still have old japanese made tools from the 80's from my father that still work well, they're just corded.

Ryobi does have this one chargeable electric screwdriver that can turn to have a handle or be flat, it has worked incredibly well for me over the last 5 years in being electric but not having retard torque so it doesn't screw things down to the breaking point.


Meanwhile, as bags fall apart and screwdrivers blow up, this nigga thought this was a worthwhile video, thumbnail alone makes me not want to watch it. Read the room, fag:

You're just holding the zipper wrong.

How the fuck can you have such a massive inflated work force and all that shit design a bag and it be worse than generic chink sweatshop shit? Twice. And all the other times that I just don't care about enough to remember. It should be a fucking achievement to make products so shit.

I've bought better quality backpacks from Aldi at a fraction of the price LTT charges.

A lot of the labor is pick n pack, he's doing the full warehousing and not just dropshipping style shit. That's a lot of hands, so his labor numbers are inflated. That's also part of why he was, at one point at least, interested in expanding creator warehouse to fulfil other peoples product, make better use of the labor.

In reality, his product 'design' team is probably tiny, and very evidently is a pretty amateur shop, that's both failing to retain talent and refusing to bring in any old hats that know the space better than they ever could.

That's why the LTT store is mostly overpriced low to mid range clothing, and random shit from random chinesium manufacturers. His sourcing seems to mostly be one or two clothing 'enthusiasts' who reach out to a few wholesalers for basic shit that they can print very bog standard designs onto, with the occasional Linus 'Good Idea™️' that goes through some 15 minute Alibaba manufacturer searching. But he lacks that old hat, that knows how to work with the overseas manufacturers, and knows how to sanity check his design early, before the manu promises "we can totally do that" and tries their best to fail to make a sample. Sometimes you're just setting the chinks up for failure, and old hats save you both time and money in those moments.

But even if he did bring on real talent, he'd also need to actually grant them authority, which judging by his CEO's non-existence, simply isn't in the cards. Control freaks outside their domain of expertise are always the most destructive.

Wow what a good find, it's funny the double standards these sycophants have. When they experience these kinds of consistent issues with a tech brand, like Alienware, they shit on them relentlessly - but it's totally understandable when daddy Linus's $250 backpack breaks in a predictable, repeatable way.

Why is he paying for them to source repairs from local "backpack repair" businesses instead of RMAing them by default? Fuck no am I going to go out and find somebody to repair your chink shit. It's insulting to even suggest that. Replace it and repair it yourself afterwards, LTT. That's what refurbished sales are for.

It's funny how much he hyped up his backpack and screwdriver and now that they've been out for a few years, it's becoming obvious why you buy from name brands and not YouTubers.
