We're talking about Counter Strike here, it's been the same game for 20+ years at this point. Any two subsequent CS games are going to be very, very similar. Most of them didn't even feature an engine upgrade like we're getting now. Plus if you pay attention to the CS2 datamines, it looks like Valve have planning to add way more than just what they've announced so far. There most definitely will be new content.

lol what. You literally need to pass a test to join the military at all. And it's a pen-and-ink test with science, math and physics problems. Not a "can you follow commands" test.

I really don't think he was acting or anything. Like someone else said, if he knew how it worked he could have used it as a moment to teach others right? Instead he just completely fumbled everything, said it was set up incorrectly and blamed the website for it. Which given recent events is such a Linus thing to do...

Linus's brain simply cannot accept he did something wrong, so the cognitive dissonance forces him to make these great leaps of logic. He could have ended everything with a simple "I'm sorry, we'll correct this" but his ego would never allow it.

I know Linus is more of a hardware guy but c'mon. You learn git freshman year into any Computer Science-related degree. Failing that, 5 seconds of Google or ChatGPT even will set you straight. Maybe it wasn't intuitive, but I like think the biggest tech youtuber would have knowledge of something so fundamental to his field...

I used to like LTT up until their "Linux Challenge" videos which were just a pain to watch. Shit like this coming from the biggest tech channel on youtube just drives me up the wall.

The original video is clearly a review and he clearly criticizes the product for being hard to install even though he is of course installing it incorrectly and not using the materials the company provided. He states unequivocally it's a bad product here: "It's a bad product. It's bad because it makes absolutely no sense and nobody should buy it".

So let me get this straight.

  1. Linus screwed over a small two-person startup with his own incompetence by using the product in an unintended way and not using the GPU and instructions which were provided for him.
  2. Stole their prototype which they needed to develop their product further, even going so far as to sell it at auction.
  3. Goes on record to say "yes, we screwed up but it would cost $100-$500 to fix it so I'm not going to and no, I'm not apologizing for that". (That amount of money is chump change to him.)
  4. Lies about offering to recompense the company. They didn't do that until after getting called out.
  5. When he gets criticized for screwing over this company for his own mistakes, rather than owning up he tries to gaslight everybody into think he is somehow the victim?? "Today was so hard bros" oh poor wittle multi-millionaire Linus... I'll be sure to pray for you while I struggle to pay my rent.

What a fucking piece of shit, fuck him. I hate people like this that simply can't own up to mistakes and have to deflect all criticism.

The video it was featured in wasn’t even a review, the premise was someone who has zero experience in water cooling trying to install it

So sick of this shit. Reviewing something and then hiding behind "it's not a review bro!" You know damn well the criticisms extended beyond just that. Linus straight up just said it was a bad product outright. THAT'S A REVIEW.

Sporting events are hosted in oppressive countries all the time. Olympics and World Cup have been hosted by both CCP and Russia in recent memory.

It doesn't. You link your Steam account and it's 100% through Steam after that. No offense but why don't you just spend the 20 seconds to Google it rather than spreading false info...

It's nice to see the physics engine at work and take some cool screenshots, but yeah what a total pain it would be to have to rebuild after a flood or something. Maybe some people like that though.
