In other interesting, random news, Linus from #LTT/#LMG apparently went on vacation to Bali in Indonesia, Port Dickson (somehow...?) and KL in Malaysia, and Singapore (of which he had to double check to see if it was considered a country despite having been there before, again, somehow lol).
What I found random was that apparently he walked to (Plaza) Low Yat on his first day in KL just to get a micro HDMI cable, and found the tech mall fascinating enough to come again the next day to shoot a video, despite being on family vacation and not work. One (camera) shop tried to charge him a "white guy" tax of 40 USD for a fucking cable, but fortunately he refused it ofc and went to other way better stores.
As someone who frequented Low Yat a lot right up until college (until #Lazada and #Shopee came and dominated that is), I knew the perfect place for him to get what he was looking for was Viewnet, and from the pic he showed, I'm pretty sure that was where he ended up. He also noted how it's bizarre how seemingly all stores in Low Yat, big and small, had plenty of 50-series #NVIDIA cards and 9000-series #AMD cards available, tho I'm not surprised cos most everybody here wouldn't even be able to afford them or even need them - the demographic here mostly only play dumbass online MOBAs and shooters anyway lol.
Anyway, interesting to see a tourist, tech-savvy perspective on Low Yat - which was at some point, a super cool place for me too and where the best deals were to be had (for tech)... but, again, that's changed significantly when we have Shopee and whatnot which offers way better deals for the same products, sometimes from even the same stores you find in Low Yat. Back then, I had to go store-to-store there and get their latest, updated price sheet/catalog listing the prices of everything they sell incl. PC components and I'd compare them before tracing back to which store that sells each component I needed for the cheapest. Now, you do the same, online on Shopee, use all the vouchers thrown at you for free daily, and buy them right from your seat without leaving your house.

The #MacAddress channel had such a good content but very low cadence and very temporal topics, same with #GameLinked.
I bet those channels could get a resurgence by being more varied, which was not the case for GameLinked (just news).

FOR F*CK SAKE!
Anyone know what happened to the #LTT #Minecraft #Server?
- It was reachable on
mc.ltt.ggbut since vanished.
I assume with the most competent Sysadmin [ @emilyyoung ] gone, #LinusTechTips had noone there to care or maintain it and as we all know from TheMisterEpic, hosting a Minecraft Server is expensive as in having very real costs with #Staffing, even if one can get #Hosting and #Hardware for free [which it never is!]...
#PewDiePie switching to #Linux (from what I can tell, #LinuxMint) was NOT on my bingo card this year but that's actually so freaking cool lol.
He didn't actually even mention this in the video (thank god, that'll keep most of the nerds away), but he did mention in one of the comments that it's amazing how you could game on Linux, and that he literally has no use for #Windows anymore.
Prolly the biggest exposure for Linux yet since the last #LTT challenge (which was... something). https://youtu.be/tsu0Rw3Nqi8
#LinusSebastian face says it all. He's not mad. He's not angry. He's not even disappointed.
He just lost all hope.
I do hope for @emilyyoung to succeed at her own pace.
- Personally I found her to be one of the best if not the best presenter at #LTT because she really put in effort and one could really see it.
Emily left #LinusTechTips and makes videos on her own #YouTube channel now.

If you watched #LTT before, you might recognize the face.
Lol once again this #LinusTechTips drama is becoming quite ridiculous #ltt
Damn, I wasn't aware just how usable "raw" #SteamOS is these days when installed on a regular desktop (with the usual recommended hardware setup you'd expect with #Linux ofc i.e. #AMD GPU, etc.).
#LTT tested installing, again, "raw" SteamOS (so.. not #HoloISO, #ChimeraOS, or #Bazzite) on one such desktop PC and tried #gaming on it and even perusing the #KDE Plasma desktop mode and honestly, with very little hitches - the few of which are mostly expected hitches since SteamOS is still primarily designed for the #SteamDeck and the Steam Deck alone.
Fingers crossed SteamOS will be released to more devices soon this year, likely starting with more handhelds from other vendors and maybe to the general desktop a year or more later. As much as a lot of people are demanding #Valve to go fuck all and rush their distro out to the general public, they seriously have no idea what they're wishing for. https://youtu.be/tdR-bxvQKN8

My prediction after seeing how #LTT and theo.gg are going, we are entering the next phase of influencer own brands, and moving to influencer Venture Capitalists

It's pretty ironic, the most consistently high quality #LMG channel, #MacAddress is the one currently sunsetting or on hiatus while the main channel, #LTT continues publishing garbage videos. From the comments, it seems that the reason is bcos the primary/sole host/writer is leaving - if that's true, I really hope he'll make a channel of his own.
Update:
He apparently got laid off, that's bizarre. The theory in the replies is that the Mac Address channel just isn't profitable (prolly cos it's #Apple centric), despite, again, being the one that offered the highest quality content.

Speak of the D(brand)evil, #LTT just released a full sponsored video with #Dbrand promoting their ugly ass skins. Instant downvote. https://youtu.be/TP2MOhLSE5U

Right, I'm going to do something I dislike, but I literally don't know how else to get support to follow up with me.
I have indeed submitted two support requests in the intervening time, i'm not just being lazy I promise.
On 17 Aug I made a video about #FloatPlane accessibility and how not good it is.
I wasn't a troll, I was constructive and thoughtful, and yet I cannot get a hold of anyone at either Floatplane Media or LTT.
If *anyone* happens to know someone at one of these companies and could get my video to them, I'd be extremely grateful.
The other thing I really dislike doing is asking if people could boost for reach, but I'll make an exception.
Fedi is big now, and far more reaching than modern-day xitter, so all help gratefully received.
I thank you in advance.
