        Does this mean the Intel 486 is no longer blazing fast?

            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.

                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.

                    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 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!

                        Fuck I hope that means that’s the end of them It used to be okay when they’d ask you to solve one on a new account sign up, but now they are just endless.

                        I had one yesterday on the google search page while signed into a google account that I give them $10 a month to use. I use that account all day, every day for work and have to sign in again with my password every few weeks.

                        Anyway, on the Google search captcha, I solved two “find all the fire hydrant” type puzzles and when I got to the third I thought, I know how to solve this permanently and typed duckduckgo.com into the address bar. Fuck that shit. Make some other monkey dance ya cunts.

                          Linus Media Group’s array of YouTube and Floatplane channels has begun to lose a considerable amount of subscribers.

                            SocialBlade, a tracker of subscriber counts, is currently estimating that the main Linus Tech Tips channel will dip to 15.3 million subs.

                            While it’s a noticeable protest, I’m sure they’ll survive the “bleed”.

                            Subs are kind of meaningless now anyway since YouTube decided they know what you want to watch better than you do. Being subbed doesn’t guarantee their vids will show up on your feed and unsubbing doesn’t stop them from appearing either (you need to click the menu and select “Don’t recommend channel”. )

                            I really hate the modern YouTube. It’s toxic for the creators and frustrating for the users.

                                  Sure there is still good content, there always will be.

                                  I’m thinking hog is more talking about how the content is suggested to you.

                                  Just Music wise. I feel it only suggests to me the last 10 songs I listened to. Back in the days, I feel the algorithm was so much better. Which is weird.

                                        I wouldn’t date someone who wouldn’t date me because I have a green fucking bubble. If you are going to be elitist, at least make it based on merit, not because you bought a fucking product.

                                        Only the EU can save Android in the US now

                                        The latest US market share report shows the Android/iOS war might be over here. But salvation could come from an unlikely source.

                                          @Gators1 Android has most if not all of the 45% remaining share of a 300 million people market. Why do they need saving? The US is also the only country where Apple has majority share. Most businesses would kill to have Android’s problems.

                                            I never owned an Iphone.

                                            I think I owned two Ipods in my life. They were great tbh. Back in the early-mid 2000s.
