  1. Linus is an influencer pure and simple. Logan from tek even explained what that means. its pretty cool since it comes from someone on the same side as Linus https://youtu.be/zrOo8LzvKvc?t=22m31s
  2. yeah but I want SLI as well. so that just means I wont have enough. especially if pascal can use most of the bandwidth at 16X that means Ill only get 8X each video card. then my PCI e SSD and m.2 my audio card. lots of USB etc..... I think for me X99 40 lanes. and wait for skylake - E in 2017 or zen in like 2020
  3. yeah the 20 lane limit for skylake is keeping me from getting it. im still thinking about a 5930K as the 40 lanes.... or I wait for broadwell E. I wonder if that will have DMI 3 or a new chipset or will that us X99 still?
  4. That would have to be the worst quality case I've ever seen so many problems. with the quality. those "bakery ties" OH my and broken wires and fans. how could you possibly say this didn't suck. it fulfils every definition of that word. Am I the only one increasingly frustrated. with the BenQ video. that is a compete crapper . but linus still endorsed it at the end. in every possible light its inferior to competing products on all levels and its the same here
  5. this should have been completely Rekt and shitted upon. That would have been a more accurate review. Linus squatting down on it and leaving a steaming pile of poop on it How did Linus let them get away with endorsing this. if you ever needed proof his impartiality isnt for sale. look at this review. he hsaid all gaming things suck, and that this is his new gaming monitor No USB. no HDMI 2.0 for a 144hz. its 1080P at that size. scaling is bad, not enough pixels. But its his new "gaming monitor" that is not objective at all. he shat on it. that product should be sent back with a note. dont send me any more Junk.
  6. That is a terrible product. 1080P at that price is equal to LG 34" curved. when I just checked Newegg So lets analyse this review. Linus prefaces it with. Every time you are sold a product "For Gaming" it usually sucks. He then goes on about how good this product is colour wise. which is fine. says there are not enough pixels. he also says he's sick (while slamming fist) of marketers saying things are optimised for gaming. Well he does exactly that at the end of the video. WTF Linus. He then asks what does that even mean. Well you just said it at the end its your new gaming monitor? And then says the resolution is silly for that size of screen. But then at the end endorses the product saying its his new "gaming monitor" I mean which is it Linus ? and for $900-1,099 did you get to keep this as well Linus?
  7. but why. they never give you enough upgrades in terms of the hardware. its all so incremental ! Then compound the fact my friends havent got any updates for note 4 or 5 AT ALL
  8. Pretty open and honest review I feel regarding the note 5 . I ve never owned one because of those issues. For disclosure. Linus was given A free Iphone 6 and this Note 5 to place the Dbrand skins in as an ad and to place them . I would have liked to hear that. My supporting evidence for that is . the referral links in the more info section being used so Dbrand can quantify their investment here. I really liked the disclosure at the end that Dbrand provided the phones. I feel like Linus is being much more forthcoming. I hope this continues.
  9. you must be dense. of course its for placment and exposure. otherwise Linus wouldnt have made a video. and they wouldnt have sent him one. so do you honestly think it went down this way...... Stand by A wild ultimaker2 appeared. Linus catches it and makes a video..... Heck no it doesn't work that way. And bring the lawsuits on. Ill gladly subpoena the emails between Linus and their company
  10. Marketing company. makes advertisement. goes to TV/cable whatever and buys ad time for the time slot it wants. here this happens company emails Linus and offers a free Ultimaker printer in exchange for a review. Linus then makes said interview acting as a reviewer. when he gets paid essentially a frigging expensive printer. I know exactly how it works good sir. DO you?
  11. agree. even if you want SLI a 5820 is the best option. especially now faster GFX cards etc are coming. we might start saturating 16X speeds soon
  12. at this point we can no longer hold linus in standing as a qualified reviewer. All his tests must come into question at this point. hes almost blown up 3 zeons (that intel sponsored him with) by holding them with frigging zip ties plus countless other failures. and now this 4 MOTHERBOARDS FOUR!! And then the pci riser, the way he installed that was of a 4 year old kid on way too much meth or something. completely scattered or high, and no regard of showing any professionalism what so ever. Then he broke the NDA on the Dual Nvidia card he was just given on the WAN show. I mean who can keep supporting this guy. PLUS THEY PAY HIM FOR PROMOTION. and hes screwing it up. Linus needs to grow up, and they way he acted to the comments THAT WERE RIGHT, about the other boards. shows how childish he is. He also knows the paid reviews thing is a really big issue. which is why he has been skipping it. Well Canadian advertisement ombudsman has been in contact with me. and they are investigating. clear breaches! GROW UP. before you are fined into oblivion, and hardware vendors abandon your platform for lack of professionalism. This is a wakeup call DROPS THE MIC
  13. the brand deal is Linus is given a 4,000 US ultimaker 2 in exchange for the review. Thats the BRAND DEAL and in regards to total B. he discloses this very fact EVERY TIME! with ZERO ambiguity
  14. The competition Bureau of Canada states http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/03946.html#s1_4 1.4 Disclosure Issues in the Digital Economy Many of the kinds of representations that mislead consumers online create a false or misleading general impression because the advertiser has not adequately disclosed information necessary for consumers to make informed choices. The true state of affairs, if revealed at all, is often buried in fine print disclaimers or is obscured because of its formatting or placement in the context of the overall advertisement. The following outlines some of the more common examples. 1.4.1 When information is actually advertising One of the most powerful ways for consumers to protect themselves when shopping is to become informed. The online world has opened infinite gateways into new sources of information where consumers can educate themselves about products and services by referring to studies, articles and expert reviews, and also by tapping into the experiences of fellow consumers. This is an intensely pro‑consumer development. However, in many instances this can be completely undermined by advertisers who design online advertisements for a product or service to look like something other than promotional material. Some are made to look like unbiased news articles or headlines, others like independent sources of information such as expert reviews or blogs, while still other commercial representations masquerade as consumer reviews and testimonials. As consumers seek out and rely on information found online in order to help them make choices in the marketplace, advertisements that falsely pose as arms‑length information can be seriously misleading, and erode confidence in the digital economy.
  15. the reason I did this again. Is pure and simple. Linus said he was going to look and change process if necessary. yet here he is 4 video's later. still doing the same thing This isnt going away. And I have been trying to get Linus to disclose properly why he did the review. Again I don't care that he got the products for free in exchange for the review. Also Linus you cant tell me. if Ultimaker emailed you and just said hey here is our brand new $1200 buck printer. and that is the end of the email. NO. The email would be Hey linus we were thinking of sending our new unit if you can do a review on it (this implies at least a video will be made here) So they are paying for the exposure clear as day. advertising standards Canada http://www.adstandards.com/en/ states (f) The advertiser must be clearly identified in an advocacy advertisement. (aka the ppl giving the unit to Linus FOR FREE) 2. Disguised Advertising Techniques No advertisement shall be presented in a format or style that conceals its commercial intent. (so it must be disclosed its a paid placement, or what was done in exchange for it this is funny but kinda true lol 12. Advertising to Children Advertising that is directed to children must not exploit their credulity, lack of experience or their sense of loyalty, and must not present information or illustrations that might result in their physical, emotional or moral harm. Child-directed advertising in the broadcast media is separately regulated by the Broadcast Code for Advertising to Children, also administered by ASC. Advertising to children in Quebec is prohibited by the Quebec Consumer Protection Act. Canadian advertising LAW http://www.canadianadvertisinglaw.com/
  16. I dont know if you know. but a pretty big investigation was concluded regarding very similar things regarding Machinima. So yeah its a big deal.
  17. but you can't pay for a review can you. this is the issue. it becomes an ad at that point. and make no mistake giving someone a gift for the review (exactly is happening here) positive or not. makes it an AD pure and simple 100% and this is the issue. thats why it needs disclosure so people know what the difference is.
  18. I dont care one bit that he gets them for free . and I dont doubt the varacity of his reviews. For the most parts but what I think everyone would benifit from, is the fact that these are done in return for free products and also what agreements were made. like you cant d oa video saying Nvidia's amazing and great, without saying. ohh by the way. Nvidia just gave us 20K worth of Quadro and Titan X's in exchange for this video. leaves a bad taste in my mouth
  19. yeah it so weird the venom thats coming out over asking for more transparency. I dunno if they are like tech addicts. and like they start sweating at the mere fact Linus's channel might get deleted or something. so they lash out. its way over the top. and it makes me inclined to think those posts are the ones that turned up to the fan meet and look so cringy but the majority of posts here. have been constructive and cordial I have been called a racist twice now. for just pointing out well known facts. Then the 2nd time was cause I said the word MATE. That's kinda weird too! a cool experiment would be if Linus received said expensive printer. and they just took it and did nothing. would ultimaker ring them and say hey. are you going to do that video. or would they just not do anything? the answer is. its inferred that they do one. And if they didnt I do wonder what ultimaker would do. hence why there has to be an agreement of sorts. that includes a video in exchange. otherwise they would loose so much cash, and then no "exposure"
  20. Hey Prof. actually youtube laws must be followed and they are based in the US. so apparently the youtube guidelines have to be followed regardless. and they are based off the US ones.
  21. Thanks for your comment. I agree. I dont have an issue that this type of practice is done. Im fine with it. I just want it disclosed in full. saying AMD challenged us, or Ultimaker made this possible. is not enough. and its been covered ad nauseum. it has to unavoidable that the person knows they got a free printer for giving them the exposure/airtime/free product placment. this is what I take issue with
  22. Ive said many times I like The LTT videos. over the last month or so I have just seen all the youtubers follow the same script. then the Machinima thing came out. and its opened my eyes a bit more. the problem is the ethics. Why would I care if he gets free stuff. but its the fact, that people put a lot of trust into their purchase decisions, and they dont know that a certain percentage of stuff. is videos done in exchange for the free gifts etc. so people may think they are watching a review. when it is just a product placement disguised as one. the problem is WE DONT KNOW .
  23. Linus has alluded many times. that THEY MUST get this video out TODAY in a few of his videos. So they even have agreed dates when they will release them. otherwise they would send out expensive 3D printers and no one would do anything. or would be done too late to serve any marketable purpose Hence why Im a little miffed how Linus still gets so much stuff since he staggers onto Vessel first. again as I said not everything has these agreements in exchange for doing the videos. but all the big stuff most certainly has conditions attached.
  24. Lets be honest here. Ultimaker wouldnt just give them a printer, unless Linus said yes ill do a video for you. they expect it.
