Distrotube hits hard. I remember the video showing everyone his collection of increasingly larger guns was the checkout moment for me. Even saying one of them was great for kids. As a non American maybe I just don’t get it.

Gross. I heard he lost a hell of a lot of money on crypto and hookers, so that checks out.
Boogie2988. I thought he seemed like a reasonable, unbiased person when I was watching around 2016. Kind of just moved on with my life after realising he was just following YouTube drama.
Have checked him out in the last year or so and it’s not looking good for him. The really sad thing is that he could have just taken his money and lived a chill life, but he seems to want a spotlight and to feel important even if it’s because people are shaming him for being a washed up b list youtuber.
It’s hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I’ve heard it’s because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they’d rather train a teenager.
Can second the comment about tutorials. It’s amazing how your very very specific problem has a great tutorial, with the worst possible audio, that is perfectly solved by some random dude in his bedroom in India.

I might be biased running a NAS as well, but I’m not fussed about having a tonne of storage on-device. Yeah agreed it is bonkas how much they charge for that extra 8GB of RAM. Default should for sure be 16 by now.
Yeah man. Apple still screws people when it comes to ram and storage options of course, but the base products are actually pretty good for the money.
Sure, for the mac pro line with specs that us nerds care about.
I think some of those M1 mac airs are really affordable now though. For casual use it would be a good device for a tech illiterate person.
Such a hard agree. My wife won’t even let me install Linux, which takes out the more technical aspects of the above.
She’s just comfortable on Windows. Most people don’t want to learn something new and even fewer actually care about privacy.
Edit: Us Linux users assume that if Windows gets bad enough people will switch to Linux, when we all should face facts that normies will much sooner switch to Mac.
I use chatgpt a lot and think AI is a really useful disruptive technology. I really don’t want it crammed into every piece of tech I use, without a choice to opt out.
They used the phrase AI and humane in the same sentence. Investors who aren’t very technical would get very excited about it of course.
Yeah that’s the other thing. To get decent battery life you run the device at lower TDP also, which puts performance as no better than the Steam deck.
Just seems to me that some of these decisions were driven by the marketing department and not engineering sense.
Battery life seems to suffer because of it.
I think in general he leans more left than he lets on if that’s what you mean.
His podcast when his wife is on (It annoys me that people would find this to be relevant credentials, but she’s a POC) shows that he has a pretty healthy world view where he talks crap a lot, but is happy to be told he’s an idiot as well, at least by her.
That update bugwas so ridiculously poorly timed for the Linux community. Especially considering he said Pop OS was beginner friendly
For people interested in tech edutainment he’s alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.
So much terrible click bait has meant I haven’t bothered clicking in a year or so though.
Is good, I got bored though as they haven’t released a major update since 2022. On opensuse tumbleweed now.
Not having the bugs of using gnome extensions for customisations is nice.
People who gain/have a lot of wealth over their life do tend to want to lock that wealth in by being Conservative I think. Wouldn’t want to shake things up!
That’s a bummer, I still watch him from time to time but accept it as factual. Didn’t think I needed to fact check him.
