  1. Firstly that's a call centre not an email inbox. Even Google can't piroritise my star messages sometimes. And I definitely receive less emails than LTT members... So...I'll just agree to disagree. And thank God I no longer deal with customers
  2. Well if that tickles your fancy more power to you. I hope that it at least shows even under a better situation. You yourself weren't able to make your statement with no errors. Anyway have a good day.
  3. Sorry. Are you expecting near instant response times? Most standard BUSINESS reply times can be 3-5 business days at times for various big businesses. EVEN if you were in corporate orders a turnaround time of a day or two is considered reasonably quick...I mean didn't we want LESS work load for the staff? Edit: Sorry if this came off as aggressive unnecessarily, I worked in customer service before so it triggered me a little to see honestly unreasonable time lines given esp in regards to email response times
  4. No I know that but seeing how people take his word as gospel and heck more seriously then I seen some Christians take the bible, yea idk
  5. Also to be impartial, for Linus supporters I really don't think it was right for them to have the prototype auctioned it off. Yes it was a mistake but shows very very bad process and/or workload. And as someone pointed out in the corporate world this really REALLY wouldn't fly I sincerely hope this never happens again.
  6. To be honest you absolutely should This matter not only pointed a light towards LTT and certain business decisions and a huge fuck up (billet) but also it shows how big GN actually is clout wise. I've jokingly said it in the past but now it's almost a cult. Tech jesus? GNs reporting on this wasn't even level headed nor complete. Still people just listened frankly very blindly and their rational critical thinking seem to also go out the door too. I've had my misgivings with Steve, nothing really major and I chalked it up to me being old and not understanding that the at times near constant "jokes" (in news videos no less) about random stuff (Nvidia computex conference even roped in a gag about a totally innocent security guard doing his damn job) was a product of a generation gap. But after this my good will and faith has definitely dropped a little for them. I'm glad to see LMG commit to improvements (really please follow through I work under a place that functions pretty much like a "startup" so the issues and problems seem very familiar to me all iet in a smaller scale) But at the very least I wish GN, self proclaimed (or reddit proclaimed honestly cbf) police pf the tech industry would be more impartial and thorough when bringing about allegations. They have waited on big news stories. That stupid prebuilt computer company, the Newegg drama... Why was this not a slam dunk like those two. (Not to mention the "followup") someone aped this somewhere for LTT but it's appropriate in this case for GN too "A delayed video is eventually good, but a rushed video is forever"
  7. I think the video was alot of what we expected from LTT. And we can also see the people who clearly have no love nor hope for you guys to actually improve. Of ccourse we have to see your stated plans in action. so we'll still be watching. I do think however you guys should relook into madison's allegations. Please do, espeially sine you guys are cleaning house so to speak.
  8. Tbh nth he says or do will be enough. There will always be improvement point to pick on. You can never be perfect.
  9. Can’t be helped for whatever reason the world has picked polarisation as its current trend in thing to do.
  10. At this point it seem it’s just a difference in opinion and we’re likely going to go around in circles should this continue so we can leave it as agree to disagree
  11. Sorry I would still have to disagree. these are custom boutique items which definitely wouldn’t have sold in bulk in that iteration. And I’m sure that company knows it. They probably wanted brand recognition rather than actually conversion which I’ll argue with this whole fiasco is likely a win for them.
  12. I didn’t have that problem with billet cause 1) it was already going to be very expensive hence not worth it for most people regardless and that’s ignoring the complexity of getting it set up, it ain’t no normal custom loop experience. 2) the entire video was so haphazard In nature I wasn’t gonna take it seriously and more of first time look at of a niche and cool product. granted I do think 2) is because I’ve been watching Ltt of years so I know what to tune out and what to give more attention to etc
  13. I think he handled it okay or even well. With exception of the video quality concerns. The tone and general message of his repo sense is what I expect of him and for the most part.so alls good for me. I do think they might need to do abit more on the part of billet and maybe talk more openly about the video quality concerns but Yeap mostly answered for me
  14. I disagree. In this case I really don’t think it warrants this level of pitch forkery.
  15. He meant breakdown of comms within LMG I.e. this card being earmarked for auction when it wasn’t meant to be due to miscommunication Idk about you but there’s definitely a fair amount of pitch forks without even waiting for any real explanation. I mentioned it o. Reddit but we really shouldn’t be blindly following any single person nor entity.
