Interesting video for a few of reasons. The email Purism sent Rossman is unbelievable.

@Hog They build FREEDOM tech apparently so they believe in FREEDOM! One of those freedoms is the freedom not to send you the shit you ordered, because fuck it. Why do you hate FREEDOM? Also it’s based in San Francisco so it’s full of communists.

As a contractor/consultant, the large, multinational I work for requires that about half the work I do be done through a shatty RDP server box that’s shared by about 130 other plebes like me. It’s slow as fuck and was running Windows Server 2012. Even Chrome stopped updating some time ago and warned me every day that the OS was unsupported. It was just another sad little reminder every day about how much my employer hated its contractors.
Well, no more! I logged in this morning and they’d upgraded the machine! Welcome to the future, I thought as I watched it start up. Then I discovered they’d upgraded to Windows Server 2019 which came out in 2018 and will be out of support in a few months.

If I see a watermark saying “This copy of windows is not genuine” I’m not going to be shocked.

That’s how it works in the third world, you get all the shit that we don’t want. The onshore people are probably using Windows server 2025. If it makes you feel better, I will send you some Miami Dolphins 2022 Super Bowl Champions tshirts?

I am embracing the FUTURE!!!

It’s all about lowering resistance!

Lying ass Hog! Will never trust another Asian!

CNET is still around?

Linus apparently mouthed off about Gamers Nexus the other day and they responded with a 45 minute smack down of LTT that is just absolutely devastating.

Don’t fuck with PC Jesus!

I was looking at a lot of his stuff (linus) when I was building my new PC and that guy came off as such a big fucking AMD shill lol.
In the end I stuck with nvidia.
His building guide was pretty cool though.
-
I wish I would have bought Nvidia stock years ago. Shut is going nuts.

Wow, for the first time in over a decade LTT halted video production to clean up their shit. Glad they took Gamer’s Nexus criticism seriously and didn’t just lash out at them.
Linus Tech Tips issues full video response and halts production amid Gamers Nexus backlash
Edit: I linked the wrong article initially.

Linus monetized his apology? Jajajajajajajajajajaja. Actually that’s a good business plan. Go full Karen and let it go viral, then post a bunch of monetized apologies on Youtube and get rich!
