  1. I figured after a year intel ARC would be more polished, so i bought an Intel NUC Phantom Canyon with the i7 12700H and Arc A770M 16gb for around $600

     

    I will say, when it works, its brilliant. On my 1440p monitor, games are smooth, the system isnt too loud, and it feels far better than my ancient laptop.

     

    However, when booting up a game for the first time, be sure to change settings individually. Certain settings can break the game, and alt f4 doesnt help.

     

    Also sleep is just broken. When i wake from sleep, my system looks like its on drugs, see pic below.

     

    I havent done any emulation yet, i plan to set it up soon when i get the time. I hope the ARC GPU can do it well, im sure it can as most emulators use vulkan, which runs well on ARC.

     

    Dispite the need to troubleshoot new games i install, i have to say this system is still awesome. For such a tiny computer that i can throw in a small backpack with some controllers to play games with friends, its incredible. The best part is it uses the exact same power brick as my laptop.

    Stopped watching the video at the Madison part. Listen and Believe, are we back in 2016 or something? I really shouldn't be surprised with such a response coming from someone who lives in a country where 7 police officers dragged a 16 yo autistic girl from her home for a "hate crime". Thank God for the Depp v. Heard public court case, with that, everyone got to see that a woman can lie and hurt for her own benefit and at the expense of others.

    I dont think thats what he means. He is talking about it in the context of the time between her and their response. While we wait for his response, we shouldnt downplay what she said, as it can put an extreme mental toll on her well being, if everything turns out to be true. 

     

    We should be supportive, but not praying for the downfall of LMG, rather demanding answers.

    I am 49 min in (where's the watering hole?) I will finish the video.

     

    So far... Dr. Cutress talk a big game about analyzing language and psychology, well he was getting emotional talking about Steve and said "You" then stuttered and say "He". He felt he was talking to Steve directly right there. He also said "as someone who has actually done investigative journalism".

     

    The snide remark on GN never having done "actual" investigative journalism is insane. I wonder if it slipped him or it was intentional. I will go back and look for the timestamps when I'm done. Just saying he's not as objective as he might think he is. No one is. We CAN'T be objective. So criticizing GN for that while recording his video like this? The pot calling the kettle black.

     

    Another point is when he mentions how Steve sort of "degraded" The Head of Labs by just referring  to him as an old marketinglead.. He explains how The Head of Labs used to have HIS old job at Anandtech.. And is so hurtful and infuriated by that assumption to The Head of Labs but... it really comes off as personal.. as if he doesn't realize he's taken it as an attack at his credentials.

     

    Anyway, I'll keep watching and come back with timestamps in.... like an hour...

    I dont think ian claimed this video to be an investigstive journalism piece. I think from the very beginning he made it clear this is an opinion piece.

  4. I see some people here picking sides, and i feel the need to remind yall, we do not have the full picture.

     

    All we have is her side, and the sides of some ex employees. Linus did make a statement to the verge, but its just a "please wait for out official response as we do an investigation"

     

    Before you decide what hill you want to die on, maybe stop and wait for all sides to come forth, and then make your decision from there. This is a serious situation, and some twitchy reactions can be unessissarily damaging to either LTT or Madison.

     

    That is all i have to say.

    i don't think gamer's nexus will comment again until they see actual progress. commenting again, from their side, would just look like reacting/responding rather than feedback/criticism, like they seem to have intended

    Your probably right. From what i remember in previous situations, they will probably mention it in the next HW News, but leave it at that.

    The latest video response seems to confirm what I believed to be the case - the cause of all this is, to put it very bluntly, incompetence. Which is bad and needed to be pointed out, which will hopefully lead to change. However, GN's video went far beyond presenting facts. It was heavily implying that malice was involved, that the situation with Billet Labs occurred because of an attitude of indifference, greed and disregard for contracts and promises. Unless one accuses LMG of fabricating emails, it is clear now that it was in fact a miscommunication and that they were willing to acknowledge it and make reparations. Again - it's obviously terrible that this situation happened and that they harmed a small team of enthusiastic and skilled entrepreneurs. But it was nowhere near as "duchy" as people immediately assumed - which is not surprising given the tone of GN's piece. I maintain my claim that it was not exemplary journalism. In my opinion, it was tabloid journalism. It should have been half the length. They should have reached out for comment, included LTT's account of how the miscommunication occurred, refrain from implying the part was sold for profit, and generally not mix up hard evidence of neglect and incompetence (the factual errors) with statement that implied malicious intent. If incompetence can explain something, one shouldn't attribute it to malice. I wish more people, including journalists, realized that it is, by and large, a good maxim to live by. I don't want to imply that what prompted them to do this was a desire to thwart an emerging competitor, as it was most likely just the result of strong emotions. Ultimately, it's still good that they made the piece and pointed many of LMG's shortcomings out. Good for viewers, for consumers. It's just that the tone was not right.

     
     
     

    In all my responses, i never saw it as a malicious intent. Many people have, but as i have been reading this forum for several hours now, there are also many who also never saw it as malice. 

     

     

    Ive been following linus for a long time, and as ive known, he is an emotionally driven person. What i saw from the first post is a guy who is letting his emotions get past him.

    I still can't believe there hasn't been a response from Linus. I am starting to get really worried.

    Im not. Seeing how today's video didnt go up, they hear us loud and clear, and something is bound to go up soon. 

     

    Probably a video about the situation. A post would be a bad move, a live video would be bad, and the wan show is too far away.

    Idk bro I’m not the one who said it applied to me.  So does it?  Does the shoe fit?  

    Just stop making generalizations in this thread. There are MANY people who are legitimte LTT fans who are sad to see this happen. We are doing this because we want change to happen. We want LTT to do better, and sometimes you need to give a firm hand.

     

    luke has at times expressed his disagreements with linus vocally. Are they still friends? Yes. 

     

     

    People can criticize out of care, not just malice.

    This is how ugly jealously can be…

     

    Look at all these hateful comments after all the joy you guys have brought to the world.  

     

    God bless you guys.  Keep your head up, this only validates your trajectory. 
     

    It’s a shame.  But…haters gunna hate…that is an unfortunate reality.

    This take is so unbeliveably bad.

     

    WHO ARE YOU to say that im jealous. No, im not.

     

    Im a big LTT supporter who had floatplane, has a bunch of LTT merch, and has been watching for 8+ years.

     

    Im deeply dissapointed in linus's handling of this. And all i want is him to do better. Im NOT a hater, im a dissapointed fan who wants better.

    Is this anyone elses first time feeling disappointed by Linus?

    All he had to do was accept that there's too many mistakes for wanting to be taken seriously in the product data field. And repeat his feelings on the framework investment.

    But no.........

    Big sad

    Ive felt mildly dissapointed sometimes when the video is about something i know alot about and he only adequately covers it, but i always move on and forget.

     

    This is the first time ive felt not just dissapointed, deeply dissapointed.

    Steve and Gamers Nexus are impartial journalists and he made his intent very clear that he was simply reporting facts and personally wished no ill will toward LTT. He also recognized aloud that this is probably growing pains that MANY companies go through when experiencing rapid growth, without having to mention any of that.

     

    What is shocking to me is Linus's bullyish and completely immature response to factual reporting, and a journalist going out of his way to let everyone know his true intent up front. This is unacceptable and he has just crossed the ethics line and took his whole company with him. Just because he is corrupt and approaches his sponsors for advice when reviewing their products doesn't mean that's how journalism works. Publicly expressing disappointment to how journalism works, simply because he lacks any measure of accountability, shows what a sick narcissist he actually is, and how untrustworthy any actual information that comes out of the mouths of any of his LTT staff, is. I hope all of his sponsors and those that consider his organization's "services" seriously consider all of this when it comes time to renew their contracts, agreements, "press" credentials, sponsorship deals, promo's, etc. Personally, I would not trust LTT with any of my products after hearing the horror story around the cooler prototype, not without some serious reassurances. 

     

    As for me, I've unsubscribed and am moving on to more informative and reputable and actual tech channels. You know, one's that don't say "hey, this is just for entertainment" every time they muck up the facts in what is presented as an actual fair and unbiased product review or demonstration. But you can all watch what you want. I'm sure it will still run on my auto-play but at least I won't be contributing any more fandom or actual time to his content unless something changes. I also remove myself from this forum in due time or he or his cronies can go and ahead and ban me to show us how much they appreciate free speech, opinion, and those of us that still believe in calling out false integrity. Peace out #sinkplane #selfinflicted #don'twhine #getitogetherLTT #makeitorfailmoment

    Lets not bring floatplane into this lol, luke never asked for this!

    No, you're misunderstanding a potential solution I have provided previously.  I inquire you to go back to my previous posts on how Steve could have handled this better to mutually benefit both companies and getting the correct information to the viewer.

    Ill be honest, this thread is just way too massive at this point to be sifting through responses. If you have a link ill take a look, if not, i guess Ill just move on.
