Late night Tweeting is a great way to end up in lawsuits for a lot of people. There's also the little issue that she uprooted her entire life for a job and her brother died during that time period. She could easily be mis-remembering what Linus said, which could easily have been a kind way of asking if she thought working there was a good idea when she clearly was in a very bad space due to logical reasons.
 
Some of the contract stuff, especially about using LMG as a springboard, actually make perfect business sense for the company. A striving "content creator" would have a very different perspective on the situation than a company that doesn't want to invest in someone to then put out a "I'm quitting LMG" video to launch their own YT career.
 
One of the key problems we've seen with Social Media is that people's memories are very poor on details, and an up swell of emotions can easily mix fact and fiction in ways that aren't intentionally malicious. But it does force other parties to respond as if it is.
 
I just hope Linus doesn't make a TwitLonger.

please stop assuming that the random women on the twitter isn't lieing 
timing is pretty sus so what she was slient for 2 years and picks now to say something?
if anything she said was true any court on the planet would have had a field day 
 
or we really gonna bite for the old 'female victum routine' 
 

Tech men abusing a young woman.
 
That is about as surprising as winter in Canada.

I think this is my last straw. Unsubbed from everywhere. to have a place of employment where employee has to injure themselves to take sick days. Awfull deplorible
 
Linus and ltt should be ashamed. We need more employees to come forward and expose this shit show and unionize.

There more than enough legal remedies for her allegations. If they had any merit she is free to pursue them, otherwise…

So let's recap.
 
- people in the management criticize the quality of her work, as they should be since it's their job
- she doesn't like it and starts complaining about her superiors
- they point out that their management is made up of accomplished professionals and she's a newbie that could be fired anytime
- she gets offended at the fact that they didn't fire all the senior management because she was complaining
- she alleges that she was "inappropriately grabbed" whatever it means
- she's perplexed by the fact that LTT cares about what public faces put in the video and weather they will stick with the brand

They misplaced the 3090 Ti that was went by Billet. The "review" actually gets worse the more information we get.  They could have canceled the shoot until they were at least prepared.

"We can't spend a few hundred bucks to make sure we're not irreparably damage a companies reputation"
Seriously? To make 100% sure before you fuck over a startup you can't spend an hour or two to double check your results?
And then you SOLD the block at an auction causing them to be stalled as they no longer have their best prototype! What the absolute fuck????

GN did actually offer returns, even after months, to anyone affected.
 
Here's GN's response to that issue - I started the video where they explain the situation.
1. They immediately marked the mat as "Out of Stock" so that no on else would buy them.
2. They attempted to find a means to fix the issue by correcting the mats and failed to find one.
3. They created pinout cards to send to affected customers, which include not only the correction, but additional pinout info. They also made metal pins featuring the corrected pinout. Anyone affected was sent an email where they could get a kit featuring these. Anyone who didn't want a kit was allowed to return the mod mat for a refund instead.
4. They did then decide to sell the remaining mod mats, however, with the full correction kit, and with complete transparency on their website about what you were getting.

I agree if LTT wants to position Labs as a factual database to guide for consumers they NEED to establish their reviewing/correcting guidelines. We all know the YouTube algorithm is unforgiving and that they intend to implement some sort of "bug bounty" programs for their videos and seems like that can't come soon enough. I'm rooting for them and appreciate how they're being held accountable.

But then what's the point in doing your own testing if the testing isnt going to be accurate then why don't they just use Nvidias testing results and claim that their right

They are just trying to make a point. You don't have to be snarky because you feel the need to defend a centi-milionare who most likely does not care about you.

No we don't.  Unless it's been publicly stated and I missed it, I am not a mind reader and we shouldn't assume peoples motivations without asking them for comment. 
 

Before we continue this discussion, can we agree you need different levels of abstraction for different publics? You very clearly get a "this is an explanation aimed at your mom" vibe from most techquickie videos, and that's also very much the intended public from all the ones I've seen so far. For that sort of public, this is a perfectly ok solution, and talking about how things like how ethernet was originally developed and why MAC addresses were absolutely necessary back then would be quite counterproductive in most cases. This is enough to explain to a relative why that Wi-Fi router uses a MAC address and not an IP address. As to NAT, don't even try to explain that to a non-technical person, so skirting around those sort of issues and accidentally explaining something as NAT while it isn't, I don't see an issue with that. The only thing I would change is maybe clarifying that MAC addresses are very much a local thing, while IP addresses are more of a global address thing. If you were explaining this to an older person you could quite easily make the analogy with old phone area codes and having a local PBX.
 
And no, I disagree, OSI is ill-defined and it'd be awesome if we could go back in time and throw some of the terminology and layers out of there. Folks can (and have) just called it ethernet packets, and no one except the neckbeard in the room actually cares about that mistake. And that's without getting into the fact that the OSI model introduces a lot of layers that are quite artificial in nature, and that almost none of the hardware and software on the market actually respects the applicable OSI model when it comes to implementing network communication. It's an abstraction layer matryoshka doll that could afford to shed a few layers.
 
As to that CBT Nuggets video, if I linked that video to my mom, her eyes would cross and she'd just be staring at the screen blankly asking me what the hell that even was. If I link the Techquickie video to her she'd probably go "a MAC address is something different than an IP address, and each computer has its own address and it never changes". A big part of explaining technology is knowing who your public is, like I'm fairly certain I'd probably lose you if I were to get into the gritty details of why you had to space 10BASE5 coax taps from a transmission line theory point of view, and you'd most likely lose me quite quickly if you were to get into the gritty details of something like SSL.

I'd say quite recently as well, I'm not ready yet to forgive him for that awful speed of electricity video. I've seen similar argumentation used to explain why sound waves can travel at the speed of light, completely disregarding the fact that energy and information transfer is what we're actually interested in.
 
Let me rephrase my point: when you apply the central limit theorem you need to be careful what you're actually measuring. You also see many research papers where they make this mistake (can't think of another word for it, sorry), they fail to realise what they're actually measuring and contribute the measured effect to the measured quantity. The simplest example of this is when you're measuring a fundamental constant or material property, you might be tempted to think that the average measured quantity is your target value, but it can also be the average measurement error. So I'm always a bit hesitant to simply work with target confidence intervals, and instead I aim to understand what the actual statistical distribution should be of the quantity I'm measuring. This is especially an issue with output from manufacturing processes with in-line quality measurement and culling of faulty products. But I fear we're going to be diving into the statistics of manufacturing and process analysis if we continue on this topic, and that's not a good subject for a Sunday evening or a web forum.
 
And I don't disagree that it's not scientifically rigorous, but that also doesn't mean the data is worthless. I think the key thing for LTT would be to pay attention to sudden shifts or odd trends in measured data, steady progress in the same direction with multiple combinations of hardware would probably indicate a trend for a specific part. But then we get into the entire causation vs. correlation debate. 😄 
 
I think you see it far too negatively. it's not the most robust of explanations, but it does the job well enough. If this was a video aimed at network engineers, I'd be worried, or if it was someone overconfidently spouting nonsense to a camera (see Veritasium's electricity video), but this was kind of ok.
 
Thank you for the somewhat insulting statement, but I finished my engineering degree quite a while ago. But no, I think it's an ill-defined system to define network architectures and have thought so ever since I was exposed to actual networking hardware at a low level. I mostly see it as an artificial attempt to abstract highly interwoven things into separate layers, it's a prime example of design by committee. It's a bit like a design pattern but for network engineers, it sounds like a good idea until anyone actually tries to rigidly apply everything it proposes in real life. It's funny what folks try to define as presentation layer, I have yet to see a session layer implementation that actually does its job like OSI envisioned it, the practical implementation of the logic link control sub-layer is quite frankly a non-standardized mess, and don't get me started on guaranteed delivery. It's also not uncommon for hardware to casually ignore the OSI model and take steps it's not supposed to take according to the layered model, but it does so in an attempt to improve the chances of successfully delivering messages, etc. So no, it's not misinformation, I'd prefer to catalogue it as experience-induced cynicism.

Building a computer PSU that conforms to and reacts correctly to all the ATX specifications isn't actually well understood by a company that makes for example variable output DC power supplies not for usage in computers. The fundamentals are very similar in terms of power circuitry but what is the correct order of 3,3v, 5v and 12v bring up and on which rails and what is the time spacing?
 
There's actually quite a lot that goes in to computer PSU design and manufacturing as well as testing and there isn't anything inherently wrong with consulting the industry on it and it certainly will not compromise you forever. It's not as if Labs is using any actual Season equipment at all, no in fact all the equipment has nothing at all to do with Seasonic and everything to do with getting the necessary information on how to use it for the application of testing computer PSUs and not some other type of power supply for a different use case.
 
It's not necessarily wrong to have concerns about an industry vendor being involved at some level however if you want to properly critique what is going on then that also requires making sure of know what is going on. If not then you risk jumping to ill-informed conclusions which becomes more of a problem, for others, if you start to voice them.  
 
Is it really valid if the core of it comes from being jaded and in general hostile towards LTT and you openly state that you are commenting in ignorance because "you don't watch their videos"?
 
Please don't take the above the wrong way but be careful in how much you personally believe that you are raising valid criticism because others may not see it as valid and it really does not help when you say some of the things you have. And lets be frank, you're known for making a lot of criticisms towards LMG/LTT, founded and unfounded. So many of us here won't just treat something you say as valid criticism even if you personally think it was.
 
Don't be stepping in to the realm of mistakes like Tim from Labs.

If this is true, why is it that AMD is bad for offering money/sponsorship or whatever they are giving to the developers when it's the developers who agreed to it/went along with it.

Ima be honest.
I dont see any reason to have both DLSS 2 and FSR 2 support in a game.

Just do FSR 2, it runs on my Nvidia cards. If AMD is giving a dev team extra resources, why spend divert that money to add DLSS 2? 

How about using a government ID/passport for verification so it is much more difficult to create duplicate accounts?

FUCK NO.

6950xt if you don’t plan to upgrade to an NVIDIA 4000 or AMD 7000 series within the next 3 years.

The real question is, will we be able to buy them, or are they gonna be OEM only? Maybe I should start a business, claim to be an OEM, just so I can get me some. lol

He typically makes his own content. Sometimes for his talking head videos however, he may reference other Tech Tubers. Der8auer's videos will definitely be more in depth, but it doesn't hurt to hear other people's opinions on the subject. Jay is an acquired taste though.
