Would a YouTube video bot like the one on r/linustechtips be useful here? I’d love to have a go at building one and thought this would be a great place to start.

Could even be some other bot to help bring more content here/drive more traffic

Hi, I read that gamelinked exists on spotify, and was wondering if there's any information available on when (and if) it is going to come to Apple podcasts.

I watch the WAN show, as it seems to be the last LTT property approaching genuine (if you skip the merch messages). But Linus use of the "for the people" really rubs me the wrong way. He can't be a big boy and take a position or make a decision without outsourcing it to "the people", seems to prove he is completely out of touch.

No hate to Luke or Dan, I like them. Luke deserves a fucking metal for the "hard R" save.

Decided to check back on things after a coming across a comment saying a month had already gone by. Completely unsurprisingly everything was swept under the rug. The promise to "release findings" seems now nothing but a tactic to shut up anyone calling them out and now they just act like nothing happened.

Who woulda thunk?.

On the quality issues they still manage to fuck up even with all the "new processes" Won't surprise me if sooner rather than later they just go back to the regular shitshow.

Mirrors exist, tho: https://web.archive.org/web/20230827110058/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YFR20MmvpM

Edit: title typo

Did he resign?

Apparently Linus has been very arrogant in person to people that aren't big-shot youtubers or the like.

Nobody posted it, I waited, but since this is pretty relevant, here it is.

The James Streib Laughterzone 101 video has been taken down by the original uploader. I expected this to happen, and mirrored it on Google Drive for all to see.

If Google takes it down (or if Google Drive links are not allowed here), let me know and I will find somewhere else to host it.

According to this third party reviewer, the LTT stubby is as good as the PB Swiss (considered one of the best tool makers and I agree) and also $20 cheaper.

So due to recent developments, are we still allowed to post and discuss tech-related topics? Or is the goal of this community now one of shitposting on LMG, given the recent name and banner changes?

The recent post on stubby screwdrivers was locked before even giving other people the opportunity to share their own thoughts on alternative brands that are specific to their country. As much as Linus and LMG fucked up, really sad to see this community degrading down a path of hatred (even if justified, based on community name change , banner, etc), instead of chatting about what we all love: technology, independent of the situation at LMG.

Really hate seeing a community with so much promise (especially as a Reddit alternative) getting destroyed.

Digitec is considered the "Amazon of Switzerland", is the most popular online shop for technology with decent prices, but also often posts articles, reviews and previews. It helps since Amazon doesn't exist in Switzerland (Swiss people often buy from Amazon German or Amazon Italy).

I honestly didn't expect the LTT news to reach such mainstream news.

"Heads up, there won’t be a WAN Show this week. Instead, we will continue to focus on addressing issues raised both internally and by the community during our production break. We appreciate you all for your patience."

Overall? We made technical errors all the time - most get caught. Selling the prototype has an element of Occam's razor isn't excusable either. @suuuoppp's posts today in are line with what I remember hearing back when we were colleagues, and it takes mad huevos to post that. 👀
