      Yeah no they’re not salvageable. Linus is a clown. My friends even told me, but I didn’t see it. That’s the consequence of growing up surrounded by toxicity: you think it’s normal and don’t see it.

        I watched LTT videos for entertainment, not product suggestions / benchmarks / as an information source. Clown it is!

        Granted I already unsubscribed from the channels I followed and won’t use him for even that anymore.

          I find it a little bit hard to enjoy the content, now that I know how to interpret it.

          It’s kinda like when you find a great restaurant around the corner, go there a lot, enjoy the food, and then you realize they abuse their personal, lie to everyone about what is in the dishes (allergens etc), and so on. Can’t really enjoy the food anymore. The taste hasn’t changed, but it hits different.

      Yes, but actually no. I think it was rather self aware. And nick whispering lttstore when saying what he does was fine imo.

    Linus should have employed a professional CEO, Managers, PR and HR years ago, right at the start of the labs expansion.

    Their problems in the last couple of years could have been avoided or greatly reduced with better management, and employees not afraid to be open when things go wrong, this will set them back years.

    Ok, I was wrong…I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but the bits this video showed really does make it seem worse than the Spez AMA. At least Spez was smart enough to keep the answers short and concise, even if they ignored all the questions.

    Are we just really posting selective parts of this video? I could have sworn that when journalists / the media do this everyone is up in arms about bias and creating a narrative, but when we do it I guess it’s fine?

    To be fair to Luke, in regards to the “six nines” comment in the video that a lot of people think is part of a sex joke (and how the video is framing it), in the proper context he was talking about IT infrastructure and this comment actually refers to a target for high availability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability

    99.9999% availability (ie. uptime) = “six nines”

    He was basically saying that they’re setting a target for higher availability of their infrastructure, because it’s been unstable at times, causing staff frustration and delaying certain workflows.

    I can’t blame a lot of average people who don’t work in any sort of IT field for confusing it with the “69” sex position (wondering what the heck “six nines” means), but that’s not at all what he was making reference to.

    I’m not at all defending anything else in relation to this debacle besides this unfair portrayal of this particular snippet.

    EDIT: Just wanted to add, I think it’s pretty sad that pistol fingers and a wink these days apparently must mean you’re making a sex joke (or are trying to offend people in some other way). As a kid I remember this gesture being used to “act cool”. We did it all the time back then, and it was all in fun. Luke’s from my generation, so maybe he thought the same, or maybe we didn’t get the memo that this gesture is off-limits now.

      Oh the term was alright, it’s his 100% intentional innuendo that was the problem.

      He didn’t hide it nor he even slightly direct viewers to actual term.

      He only meant 69 and he showed it that way
