  Worse, he pointed out on cam that thy fan wasn’t spinning for some reason, then didn’t fix it or investigate and tested it as is

  On the GPU side, yes and no, since the CPU and GPU are partitioned from each other and the temp of one doesn’t have any effect on the other, but we were getting the same frame rate with mine at ~75 and his 2060 running to around 84. I know someone else who had the case with a 1080 in it (180W vs the 2060’s 160W, or my 1650S’s 130W overclock) running at similar temps to mine while destroying both. It really comes down to using good exhaust fans, which he was not (and one of his just wasn’t spinning and he never stopped to find out why or fix it)

  You know that feeling where someone seems to know what they’re doing in an area you don’t know a lot about, so you trust what they say, and then they cover an area you do know a lot about and you realize they never knew what they were doing, they just knew more than you and how to make it look good?

  I had that disconnect in 2019 when LTT, primarily Linus himself, did a Velkase Velka 3 video and did so much wrong that his gaming results were worse than my personal build, which is an accomplishment because we used the same CPU (R7 3700X), he had a 2060 and I was using a 1650 Super, and my system was running quieter and 10°C cooler on both CPU and GPU temps. I heard about the rest later, but looking at when that video was posted, I stopped trusting that Linus/LTT did any research at all in October 2019, because when you buy a bad CPU cooler, bad PSU, bad exhaust fans that you can’t even set properly, and test the system at default settings, it’s very clear you didn’t even try.

  Linus messing up building the case because he didn’t read the instructions? Entirely justifiable, makes for very funny camera things, there’s the entertainment part of your infotainment. It’s a wacky case made explicitly for an extreme niche of an extreme niche of a (fairly) niche hobby, and Linus is funny when he’s winging it on the aesthetics part. Concluding that something is too hot and too loud for use unless your parents are divorced and you need to take your pc to the other house every week, when you caused it to be hot and loud by putting 0 effort into something because you didn’t just like, ask someone who knows what they’re doing?

  Personally, it’s the repeated instances of his company using things wrong, saying the thing is bad because it doesn’t work, and then doubling down if it’s pointed out that it only didn’t work because they fucked it up

  I played Deus Ex for the first time like, 6 months ago and it didn’t feel particularly clunky. It’s not great, but it’s perfectly okay, and I’m someone who plays with a controller at every possible opportunity and I think BG3 is a better experience on a controller, having tried it both ways

  What’s the issue with Calibre Web? I add book to shelf on Calibre Web, and hit Sync on my kobo, and the kobo downloads the book abs populates it in my library. What’s the thing I’m missing or that’s not working right?
