It's not so much that as the only language most CEO types understand is feet outside the door. Even then they'll have it already made up in their mind that you're totally replaceable because of the current labor market (ignoring jeets presence for the moment)
The only really bitchy cable I've encountered has been display port. No other modern cable type has given me difficulties, but for Display Port I did spend like $2-300 trying to find a cable that would work for my requirements. The cable that was included with the device worked fine, it took a bit of effort to find a longer cable that would work at high refresh rates.
This, the response to the infamous GamersNexus critique, and his bizarre past comments on shit like miscegenation shows that Linus is really, really impulsive. I’d think part of the point of leaving your CEO role would be to have someone to tard-wrangle not only your financial ventures but also the way you address the public.
While I guess I can understand paying more for a certification or other such awards of credibility (this is often what buying brand name over generic boils down to), I don’t particularly care enough to do so for some fucking cable. Also, I wonder how frequently they’re going to do QC checks moving forward? It could very well be the case the manufacturer maintains high standards at the start but starts to drop them as time goes on (also we don’t know the dud rate in general).
Ltt fans are no different in the cultish ballwashing than apple tards. But unlike apple fans theres no actual justification to buying ltt products than the backpack, screwdriver, or hoodie being orange. Its paying others to be a billboard for linus's brand.
Turns out he really was seething, since those tweets are now deleted. I guess he was butthurt enough to whine to Dexerto’s editorial team that his quote was not related to recent events.
Dexerto may have realized themselves the context was wrong.
You mean Linus is super mega seething and had his PR team and lawyers reach out to dexerto to provide "much needed khantext"
It's just the same shit as always with online content creators, people get overly attached to these fake people and then can't conceive them doing anything wrong.
I hope they hire a pajeet pilot.
The fact that none of these employees apparently seem to have any equity in Linus media is a bit strange. It's fairly normal in tech companies to get equity, especially for people who've been there ages.I'm sure this has been posted before, but I loved when Linus got called out by @larossmann for being a bully. Dude was so furious at Linus he went on an autistic rant for an hour talking about how frustrated he was with him and his bullshit.

Louis is highly respected in the tech repair space. So when GamersNexus was changing his contact policies in reaction to Linus berating him to do so, Louis told him to change it to a photo of his cat Mr. Clinton and apologize or else he would fly out and pour water on his servers. So GamersNexus listened

I highly recommend watching the video if you haven't already. It really puts into perspective how much of a phony Linus is. Louis also briefly touches on how Linus gives his employees near zero benefits and treats them like shit.
LTT is a media production company when tech practices favor the employee (Equity, growth opportunities), they're a tech company when media practices favor the employee (collective bargaining, creative independence and 'pet projects'), they're a small startup when big corporate activities favor the employee (Regular raises, robust HR protections) and a big corporation when startup behaviors would favor the employee (open compensation discussion and accommodating financial realities) and they're only wealthy when it'd benefit Linus (houses, jet, sportsball).
They could push him out for being PR poison. More likely they would muzzle him and keep him for obediently treating the workers like cattle, poignantly as Linus is blaming everything on capitalism despite not having shareholders to answer to.
And we are only so lucky when being a retard in public actual ruins a career.
LTT is not a tech company, neither a VC-backed startup nor publicly traded.
I think something Jake said in his video hints at why. Linus and Yvone think they’re the only ones who sacrificed anything for the company, they are on their third house and are still patting themselves on the back still for work they started a decade ago, which fair enough, except they forget other people were involved too. They think they did everything alone and everyone except them has always been replaceable.
I mean Linus is kind of based in that way, I don't think any of the staff he hired deserves to be payed more then a minimum wage and most of them could be replaced by jets and no one would notice there wouldn't even be a quality drop.
