🌟 Internet FamousLinus Gabriel Sebastian & Linus Media Group / Linus Tech Tips - Narcissistic corporate shill YouTuber driving his media empire into the ground. KILL COUNT: 2
Linus is getting some pushback from his community on the new video they did on the RTX Spark Project and its associated new laptops, which appears to be a new ARM-based laptop configuration for powerful thin and lights. I don't know anything about it, but apparently it's heavily integrated with AI or something and people are mad about it. He spends the entire video glazing it without any criticism whatsoever.
In this video, he mentions that it's "substantially thinner" than his current daily driver. It's really not that much thinner at all, maybe 10% max.
A redditor took offense to this and posted about it.
Linus responds, malding. He uses a false equivalency about how if HE lost a similar amount of weight, people would say he was substantially thinner. So it's a fair statement. For once, on his own subreddit, he gets bombarded with downvotes due to the fact that it's a dishonest comparison to make.
I was also weirded out that his kids did not have personal computers. Their setups ran off a central home server that Linus controlled and operated via KVM.
Incorrect, they have their own computers but it's all in the same server rack as his and his wife's. He watercools all of them with his swimming pool as a heatsink and everybody connects to their computers elsewhere in the house with some sort of KVM (the other one, keyboard-video-mouse) switch over fiber optic, because I guess there's so many rooms in his mcmansion having multiple gaming setups for each computer somehow makes sense. The whole situation is such a ridiculous nouveau solution to stupid nouveau problems but I loved watching the entire saga on it.
That's not substantially thinner at all. Thinner, but not substantially so. Does Linus not get that he can just let the comments be? You don't have to respond to everything with thinly veiled seething.
I don't know how to describe this type of smug millennial, as it seems to be taking root more now that they're older and think they have unlocked "wisdom" which is just pointless snark. It could just be latent autism kicking in where they obsess about always getting the last word. As a millennial myself I just see it and just wonder where the self-satisfaction is rooted. Just say it's thinner, don't try and use apples and oranges logic to justify your failed puffery. Or was it something gay provided by AI who punched up the script from your retarded Gen Z writers?

You're right. Though I distinctly remember him yapping on the WAN Show back in the day about doing it the way I described. Based on the intro to this video, he actually confirms that was the original plan. But they had go with dedicated PCs because of anti-cheat. So I guess instead of Linus, it'll be Vanguard spying on his kids then.
Our plan of doing it with a virtualized gaming server is not gonna work. Not because we couldn't get the tech right. We totally had it. It was totally working, but because of anti cheat. So we're gonna have to have dedicated gaming boxes for each of the five stations. Or are we?
Anyway, there are a ton of WAN Show segments where he talks about his parenting, the privacy that his kids (don't) have, etc. I remember feeling disgusted at the time when I heard them live. I'd have to search through the subtitles to find them again.
I'm not a fan of parents spying on their children, even despite the tranny spectre looming about, simply because it creates a bad mindset moving into adulthood.
The purpose of parenting is to teach your children skills and morality, and if they grow up accepting the fact that there's always going to be some ephemeral force watching their every move (and the fear of punishment for thought crime), this mentality won't suddenly go away when they turn eighteen and they're still comfortable with ever-increasing government surveillance. This "think of the children" shit is already bad enough, and it's about to be used as a battering ram for censorship yet again if those age verification laws become popular.
Please, feel free to block porn sites (and whatever else you find objectionable) on the router level if they have "zero tolerance" content. Better yet, teach your children the warning signs of freaks trying to rape and/or take advantage of them, and you won't have to constantly police them. This also works for when they're at a friend's house or some other uncontrolled device, and is an essential life skill in general.
Bonus points that Linus is a fag and wouldn't care that his kids were hanging around trannies (given that he does this himself), but he would probably disown his kids for reading a Stonetoss comic.

"MWEEEH!!!! YOU POINTED OUT I USED AN ADJECTIVE INCORRECTLY TO MAKE A VERY INCORRECT STATEMENT!!! MWEEEEEEEH MAKE YOUR OWN LAPTOP THEN, STOOOOOOHPEEEEED!!!" salieri_dropping_papers.gif

He's a narcissist and views his brand as an extension of himself, he's not going to let a redditor threaten his ego especially not after his spat with Steve

This is one of the more nuanced takes I've seen regarding how a parent might protect their child(ren) from online risks, and how there's a fine line between prudent management of cyber threats and indoctrinating children into blindly accepting (or even worse actively embracing) surveillance from the state and/or mammoth corporate entities.
I brought up my spawn in a certain way wrt online safety, opsec and so on. It wasn't via heavy-handed spying or completely leaving him to figure it out for himself.
How I did it was by getting actively involved in online activities with him during his formative years, along with having age-appropriate discussions regarding cybersecurity and online safety along the way.
From the ages around 6-14, I spent a lot of time gaming with him, usually online. During this time I drilled into him that he was to never use his real name or any handle that's even tangentially connected to his real name, he is to view anyone or anything offering free in-game items or similar to be scams and/or predatory, and to be extremely careful when chatting with randoms online (again, not using real names or giving a location any more specific than the country he lives in).
Our gaming sessions tapered off as he got older, which is normal. Neither his mother or I spied on him during his teens, he had his own devices in his own room, he'd let out a few gamer words etc etc. At the risk of attracting a barrage of trashcans and other expressions of opprobrium, I must confess that we didn't really restrict his Internet access at all, as we figured (a) we'd given him all the tools and support he needed when he was younger so he could make his own informed decisions wrt keeping safe, and (b) even if we had strict parental controls on our home networks, he'd only work around them anyway if he was really keen to access risky content.
None of his online gaming accounts that I know of (PlayStation, Steam etc) have his real name connected to them, he purchases games using a pre-paid debit card, and he doesn't blow his money on retarded DLC shit or other obvious consooming. The few items he's bought himself online are the only hints that he has weebish tendencies i.e. books about drawing anime characters, a few DVDs etc... but I swear it's impossible for zoomers to not be at least mildly influenced by Japanese culture.
Now I know that sharing my approach will open me up to criticism, particularly from those who don't have kids. Like I give a shit. All I know is that the young man I co-parented with his mother has turned out well, he has a good head on his shoulders, he graduated from high school, is at uni working towards a real career in the STEM field, and shows absolutely no signs of trooning out, becoming a NEET, or any other signs of degeneracy or general failure as a human unless you count the aforementioned mild weebery as degenerate.
Reading between the lines, he's being called out for being a shill and also being dishonest by exaggerating the specifications of a product he's being paid to advertise.

He gains nothing by trying to defend it in the thread, especially when he gets obviously mad. Just ignore it, and it goes away; now it's another "controversy" people can point at.

I have no kids, but I completely agree with your approach, mostly because it is a very pragmatic approach to the issue of teaching your kid how to deal with the internet. Kids will find a way to circumvent any sort of limitations you put on their internet habits, since that is what they always do, so the only sensible solution is to do the "hard" thing and actually educate your kids so they are prepared to deal with the internet, but people would rather take the easy route and just take away all their liberties as a temporary bandaid and inevitably set them up to have even bigger issues later when they have to interface with bad actors online.
I was personally lucky to mostly grow up at the same pace as the internet, so when I did stupid shit such as getting scammed online it was very low stakes so it wasn't a big deal, but the internet today is infinitely more predatory than it was.

The RTX Spark sounds like another attempt of MS to stop linux growth like they did with their partnership with Qualcoomm. I wouldn't be surprised if the 5070 levels of graphics is the same martketing as the 5070 has 4090 levels of graphics, where it was when using DLSS and Framegen.
I hope this fails hard but considering that a lot of people has a goldfish memory, when nvidia releases the 60 series, a lot of people will replace their cards

I think a lot of replacement will happen regardless, with Nvidia delaying the 60 series and probably slipping forward a technical generation in the process - AMD is competitive enough that they can't just sit on old designs and release them as new forever. Meaning the new cards will come out to an audience of people who have been riding cards longer than they're used to, and likely be a bigger capability jump than usual due to basically being TI's or 70's under the baseline name. Its hard to not make good numbers under those kind of conditions.
I should have worded it better but it's more that this isn't the first time and won't be the last time that nvidia screws up their gaming customers and every time they throw up a bunch of money on marketing and tech-youtubers so that people can forget about it
