I can see why some people think that, but there was a general tech theme in this video that could genuinely help many beginners. This could be very helpful for someone starting out and looking to learn the components of a PC and where they go along with other factors like compatibility. It provides that vital "do it yourself" part of learning to compliment the theory from watching someone else.
If they put the word simulator in the title then it should, by definition, attempt to simulate real life. This could still be fun but the main goal of a simulator is to be realistic, fun is a byproduct. Linus actually loosely recommended it at the end but made general informative criticisms through the video because it's not perfect. The click bait title is a little frustrating and unfair given the end recommendation.

".... multiple people on staff here, that are being forced to come in on the weekend, in order to get our videos done on time, it's not right, it's not fair, and it's completely unnecessary"
 
It might be unnecessary from an outsider's perspective but I fail to see how that's AMD's problem, there may be good marketing reasons. What about the many people who are "unfairly forced" to watch LTT live streams at unsocial times... No one is forced, LTT chooses to follow and review other companies, it can't be their problem to fit your timetable. There are benefits and drawbacks in every line of work.

Slightly off topic but I just want to say how incredibly well mannered and intellectual your kids are at such a young age. This can only happen with consistent good parenting over a prolonged period of time. They will surely be a large asset to society in the future.

With GPU and CPU announcements it's usually not a long time. But that's still not guaranteed, and that's assuming the rumor of a CES announcement is even correct.

Its really hard to guess things like this.  If you're thinking about waiting to buy a 3000 chip instead of getting a 2000 chip now, I'd say just get the 2000 chip and then sell it if 3000 is way better.

I'd say about a month.

Tesla has single handedly ignited the change to electric vehicles, that was Elon's goal, not to take over the automotive industry but to make them want to change and sustain the push. That's why they started with luxury cars, as others have stated it changed people's perspective, got the desired attention. 
 
It's phenomenal how quickly things are changing and how normal electric cars already are in such a short space of time. I think it's amazing how well Tesla has done despite the onslaught of negativity and unfair criticism they've faced. It's like abusing an 18 year old for not being as good or efficient at work as a 50 year old veteran. They're young and not perfect, but they may well go on to lead the world. We're lucky Tesla wasn't killed by these short sighted nihilistic people. The big players obviously had their reasons to try and take down Tesla but many of the general public just seem so short sighted... stating their gas car is better, well I'm not surprised given the decades of refinement and infrastructure, it's the '50 year old employee'.
 
You don't buy a Tesla to save money right now. If you have the money it's about creating a better future, one without air and noise pollution, and one with less extreme weather cycles. 
 
I agree with the repair issues and wish Tesla allowed 3rd party repairs but it could well be a necessity right now to limit the chance of more negative press when inevitably someone fixes something wrong and Tesla get the blame.

That just just a question of taste.  Tesla did a more of a "normal car look", then the other companies at the time, who was trying to also re-invent the car, where some of them even having questionable aerodynamics, or be too small to be any useful (no truck, for example). On top of that they cost a lot for what you get, where low powered and had short range.
 
The problem is that previously, all car manufacture took the bottom to top approach. Focusing on making the electric car the least expensive as possible. This has given a bad image to electric cars.
 
Tesla, in the other hand knew that electric cars were expensive (and still is today), and they knew that only market that can actually buy them are those that can afford luxury cars. And that is what they started with. Super expensive models, but allowed them to put incredible batteries and motors competing with the best performance oriented cars, even beating them.  This allowed to get the attention of the consumer, media and changed people perspective on electric cars. Top that by getting the best designers to bring a look that most people like a lot, while still looking unique. When you see the Porche rear or front, or sides, you don't need to look up close to see the company badge to know it is a Porche as it has a signature look that is identified/associated with the brand. Same for other luxury cars. Tesla managed to get that special look and ave their brand associated with is, and now people can go "Oh the car behind me is a Tesla! Nice!", if you get what I mean.
 
Now, they started on aiming to drop the price of the car. A feet that is clearly easier to reach than the contrary. Showing the approach from top to bottom, was the best one. Looking at the Model 3 full tear down, you can easily see further work that can be done to cut cost. Basically, cost optimization. Granted Tesla issue is that they over built everything in their car, adding a lot of complexity, at the advantage of being the most secure car, and perhaps have a lot of useless things that can be removed ( for example: remove added panels or soldering line points from the body, that is not actually needed, or the body can be done differently to get the same results, but cheaper),  Being a new car manufacture it has a lot to learn, but optimization and knowledge is something that they get either over time, or buy the best of the best in the industry to work together to help reduce production cost, simplifying manufacturing process and reducing Quality Control issues as well.
 
That said, many owners of Tesla vehicle get them under a Lease, so they don't really care about Quality Control, I mean, anything is covered under warranty which they get to match their lease period, and that is all that they care about. Of course, not having to service the car is even better, but this is more of an issue for those interested in purchaser a car and keeping for many years to come. This will come, as price drops, which of course they can, as, as mentioned there is a lot of places that the company can optimize things to drop the price (body of the car, for example)
 
Where I am, Montreal, in Canada, you see A LOT of Tesla. I don't recall 1 week without seeing one parked in a mall parking lot or on the road, summer or winter.

The main point of Philips HUE is to expand Philips Ambilight effect. And it really makes a huge and impressive effect with it. Ambilight fires light out of TV sides based on actual color of image content on screen and Philips HUE bulbs can expand that through entire living room wall or even entire room. No other bulb can do that.
 
As for bulbs, how bloody hard is it to press a switch on the wall lol? Don't tell me dragging a phone out of your pocket, running app, waiting for it to sync up and turn on a light is more intuitive as wall switch. Sure, not all situations allow it, especially late house redesigns without hammering walls, but still...

I totally agree with what was said in this video. This has the potential to be really good. There is a gap in the market for a "portable desktop/workstation". Something to rival the eGPU option. There are plenty of options available if you want a thin lightweight laptop with the thermal issues that come with them.
 
A thick relatively heavy laptop like this doesn't matter and is in fact a positive for the better cooling, higher performance and upgrade-ability. It's to be used once you arrive at your destination as a desktop alternative, not literally as a lap top else go buy one of the many other options. The biggest turn off for me though is the styling, it has no place in a business environment unless you want to explain to everyone including your clients how it's not unprofessional.
 
If it looked more like a thick version of a macbook or Dell XPS, a clean look, then I bet even many "gamers" would appreciate it more. I know this because I'm a gamer as well and can't stand the gamer aesthetics.

I'm curious, will you test this addressing the issues mentioned here

Riley and I have known each other for almost 8 years and we've worked together in some capacity for over half of that time. 
 
He asked to review a graphics card as a total joke. That's not his forte and he's perfectly comfortable with that. Even back at NCIX Tech Tips (as he mentioned on the WAN Show today) he got Ivan's help with a lot of the benchmarking stuff. Big deal. 
 
You also need to understand that he's not some intern who isn't sure about his job security or his skills. Evaluating gaming cards may not be one of them but who cares? That's not what he was hired to do.
 
Riley was brought in as a specialist for TechLinked. 
 
Something you guys might also not realize is that Riley is perfectly comfortable dishing out his share of trolling off-camera - even if he's not sure where the limits are yet with the live audience. 
 
If LMG was a horrible place to work and anyone actually took me seriously about this stuff, we'd probably have a little more turnover, don't you think? These are very talented people who could get a job tomorrow if they felt like it. 
 
We tease each other, but it's part of having some fun at work instead of being all corporate. 
 
I messaged Riley to tell him people were upset at the way he was treated on the WAN Show and to make sure he was okay and he had to go find the timestamps people were posting to see why he was supposed to be upset. 
 
So it's probably worthwhile to try re-watching with all of that in mind..
