Linus' response summarized:
"guys guys, guys, i cannot be professional if there's a $100M on the line for being NOT professional".

That's because we are already here reading his reviews. I, personally, don't feel the need to go trawling the internet to get involved in whatever drama is going on elsewhere.
Spoken like a true old timer.....if it's not important to me then it's not important.

GN gave their response to Linus and by extension LMG. Steve's genuine disappoint in Linus' response can be felt. I think Steve expected it to go a different direction but it didn't.


He spent 45 minutes publicly eviscerating Linus, an Internet-famous millionaire with 15 million followers and countless sponsorships & partnerships, in excruciating technical detail. Humans are gonna respond how in a human way, I don't know what he really expected lol.

tries not to stare at postcount
Stare harder, and then tell me exactly what it is you're attempting to convey ;)
Is there some correlation between 22 years of posting and making an 81 minute reaction to a response to another video? Posting here is, generally, an interactive activity. Watching an 81 minute video analysis of a response to "Kardashians for nerds" is... not.

I also think the Kardashians was unwatchable garbage, FWIW.

This is like the Kardashians, but for us nerds!!
Absolutely not true.

Linus made his bed and then slept in it. Stop blaming GN for this.

A social media beef? Are you serious? Look at the front page of AnandTech and tell me who has more prominence.....a decade ago you all would have blasted Anand for making mistakes like these. Strike that YOU did blast him for making mistakes like this but now it's OK becasue you're outta the scene.

Old timers gonna old time like they always do......

In a week this will be forgotten, like any other incident before its time. that's the way the world works junior.

People really out here watching a movie-length video discussing a video about some other videos on YouTube...

It's called multi tasking, stick the video on a 2nd/3rd monitor and carry on working while it plays out.

Who the fuck is this Linus? Only one I know invented an operating system and GitHub because everyone else was shit
Some youtuber. Used to watch his case reviews back when he started in 2013 or 2012 I think it was, maybe before then. He's become popular over the years through meme culture wars. Can't stand his videos. youtube is better used as a jukebox imo.

No.....your age is what you have in common......
So you're saying a specific age group are insipid morons who watch people doing things instead of doing things? Because I don't believe that, I think some people are just morons.
