So, what you're saying is that LMG should not be getting any money because you feel that they already have enough?

When the forum thread becomes more critical of the channel than the YouTube comment section. Seriously though, he did disprove some of the methods that seem to make sense on paper, like lowering the resolution. And about his baseline, yes, none of us would do any of those things because we fully understand the limitations of our device, but not the average Joe, the targeted audience for this video. When someone like my mom buys a laptop, she would think that the advertised battery life of a laptop is what she would get out of the box, regardless of her habits and use case, and this includes things like leaving the keyboard back-light on even during daylight. Of course, sooner or later she's going to find out that the battery barely lasts for a few hours, nowhere near what she was promised. So, she quickly runs to google and starts looking at how to get more mileage out of her new device; and as Linus showed in the beginning of the video, there are some very weird (and potentially dangerous) ways being recommended, so much so that even to some of us computer geeks, it makes complete sense (i.e. lowering the screen resolution). So this video in some sense helped to objectively show which of those "tips and tricks" actually worked and if so, by how much. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this video (like a build guide) was not meant for most of us, who already knew how to get the most out of our devices, and where our expectations should lie regardless of what the manufacturer claims. Regarding the "clickbaity" title, I think Linus already explained this somewhat in the last Honest Answers video, it works and that's just the way YouTube is. Personally, I don't think this video was as clickbaity as it was trying to poke fun at other clickbaity sites and videos.

An easy option would be to plug the 2 pc's into an old router. Note that this router need not have access to the internet, just the power and 2 Ethernet cables. Generally, the router would behave as a simple switch in this case. Or, if you don't have 2 Ethernet cables, or a spare router lying around, you could connect the 2 pc's directly, although, as was said earlier, some setting up is required. On PC #1: Type "Network and Sharing Center" in the start menu, and click on it. In the left column, click on change adapter settings. Then, double click on your LAN adapter. After that, double click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" Here, "Obtain an IP address automatically" would be ticked, but we don't want that. So, tick the box that says "Use the following IP address:" Then, fill it in like this: IP address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (it should be automatically filled) Default gateway: 192.168.1.3 Preferred DNS server: 192.168.1.2 Alternate DNS server: (you could leave this empty) Finally click on "ok" twice. On PC #2: The process is pretty much the same, except for a few details: IP address: 192.168.1.3 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.2 Preferred DNS server: 192.168.1.2 Alternate DNS server: (again, you could leave this empty) Click on "ok" twice. Now, you should be able to see that the 2 pc's are able to connect to each other at 1Gbps (if you don't see this number, it means that you're using an older cable; refer this)
