Do you mean buying computers worth thousands of dollars doesn't make you a computer expert? I'm shocked. Shocked!

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I watch it for the same reason I watch William Osman. They do a lot of fun bullshit videos like trying to watercool a server rack with a swimming pool.

I'm more concerned about the sexual harassment.

Then don't watch it I guess

I don't really see a reason to announce it here

The parts from the build according to the youtube description:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X
GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D Motherboard
Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB SSD
Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 Cooler

Fractal Design Torrent E-ATX Case
Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 1600W 80+ Titanium PSU
ASUS ProArt Display PA32QCV 31.5" 6K HDR Monitor

I think the most interesting bit was his stance on ECC memory. Basically he says everyone should be using it.

Worth stating that this video was much more about the interview, rather than giving hardware recommendations.

There's a parts list on the YT description.

I don't hate LTT but they are mostly an entertainment channel nowadays, not a review channel.

Their reviews are focused on sponsored products, sometimes wrong and most of the time don't go into much depth. Not to mention the countless ads, sponsorships and clickbait.

If somebody likes them, more power to them, but I don't go to LTT when I need information about something.

Something gets popular, people have to demonstrate how unique and sparkly they are by going against it, it's a tale as old as time. I watch their videos occasionally and understand he's neither demon nor god. But try listening to their WAN Show podcast and tell me he's not (mostly) genuine and open...

It's a huge deal that a youtuber as big as LTT is promoting Linux. This is how we break into the mainstream.

No kidding, it's intense. I like the channel well enough, and find they've handled their various scandals to my satisfaction, at least. And yes, it's 100% more entertainment than deep technical content I'm gonna learn from, but whatever, guilty pleasures aren't some horrible sin, and it's a better use of my time than reality TV. Being such a large channel does also get them access to some really worthwhile stuff now and again, like major factory tours, or Linus Torvalds, and that is stuff that's really worth my time.

All of that said, I assume there's lots of people here like myself, but it just ain't worth jumping out of the woodwork for the guy. I like him, but not nearly enough to cast myself against this much vitriol for his sake.

This is the coolest video they've done in ages, and Linus Torvalds seems like such an excellent, genuine guy. He gives really thoughtful answers to even some of the silly joke questions, and it's great. I super appreciate his perspective, and he interviews excellently.

I mean ublock origin seems like a simple answer

invidious, archive.org

Wtf even is a fake interview lol, he had a lengthy talk with Linus Torvalds in where they discussed a wide variety of things and asked him numerous questions, how is that a fake interview
