Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users
eltimablo@kbin.social 9 months agoThat's a fair point, but I've already seen what one uninformed, idiotic YouTuber (LTT) is capable of achieving by closing his eyes, putting his fingers in his ears, stamping his feet, and whipping his equally uninformed followers into a frenzy over an issue that was almost entirely his own fault. I fully expect such events to continue as Linux gains popularity.

LTT is an idiot, what he did was the equivalent of demanding his new car could use spare parts from the old one. If not the new car is at fault.
I have blocked all his channels, because he is also corrupt. And his channel is hidden advertising in more cases than not, making it de facto illegal. He also ignore or give bad press to products from companies that don’t pay him enough.

Yeah I never cared for him much before, but I also never cared about him much either. Now I actively despise him, which I guess is a form of successful marketing in that I'm still talking about him, but fuck it.

Honda Civic has been made since 1972. I doubt a single spare part from the first ones would fit a new Civic.
But the Japanese introduced a new concept of using parts back in the 70’s. Where parts are used across models and revisions to a much greater extend than Western manufacturers did

IIRC it was specifically Civics made after a certain year. I wanna say 1994? Subaru is super big on the concept, too, though. It's actually where they got their name ("Subaru" apparently means "unity" in Japanese).

What are some good YouTubers instead? I just stopped watching LTT cause I realized I wasn’t learning anything

Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed have stellar integrity for hardware reviews. Otherwise just search on YouTube on the device or subject of your interest, and be critical of what you see.

In my experience, YouTube is almost universally shit for anything to do with software. I've stopped bothering trying to find any software YouTubers and rely on blogs instead.
