Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
BBB is necessary. Border and Military is top priority. Elon isnt happy because he got axed out with his rebates on his Tesla cars. End result is we have to secure ourselves for the very war future we r heading into.
21:30 the problem is that's most monney is flowing up and not tricking down.
The top 10% are getting richer and the middle class is getting poor.
and in a capitalist world is that the death blow for the world economy.
I never understood how you would finance anything that is not 100% neccessary for survival.
If you are so short of cash that you finance a concert ticked, then you DO NOT GO TO that damn concert!
Finance should be for things thst do not depreciate or get used up…which leaves more or less only houses. Even cars, do not get a car with a loan if you can not afford it.
You guys really shouldn’t talk politics, such awful surface level takes
Having a car company take a financial hit is part of what got us in trouble in 2008.
18:30 – Agreed, demand isnt that high. I work in gaming retail in an affluent city in Australia, we got 50 in, mostly the mario kart bundle, have only sold about 20 over the last 3 days.
oeple worrying about space, how about worrying about, like everything digital using MS
27:00 ive used PayPal credit for years usually for big purchases as there the only ones that offer 0% interest otherwise id have to buy like a tv with the store financing which is usually like 29.9%
Lol everyone excpected Switch 2 demand to be lower. A lot less people want the same console as before.
7:14 are you taking potshots at Nvidia, Luke? 😉
I have used paypal pay in 4, but only when I have the funds available already to do so
18:38 No shit demand for Switch 2 is lower than expected. We have one Mario Kart title with a somewhat weird concept and then some rereleases of Switch titles. There is no system seller. If they had given the Zelda games some new content at least.
i cant believe i fully agree with linus on politics. he is based af.
As always i don't like one host calling in, but i gotta give you props for the better audio quality this time!
27:32 do y'all have Wise, revolut , or WeChat pay? maybe even blik or union pay ( Chinese based)?
People are using buy now pay later to buy groceries. Some of these companies have debit card options.
Right, anyone who thinks the Trump/Elon "fued" will actually AFFECT anything, probably stiil thinks tariffs are going to crash the economy. Take off your double mask and stop watching CNN.
Linus has talked about people needing to stick to their guns in the past on the gaming boycots and not turn belly up the moment the new shiny drops. Its hypocritical to see ya just do the same.
It's a bit disingenuous to say there is nothing else to cover in tech besides giving Nintendo Ad space.
its also a bit amazing how people have forgotten how they are trying to strangle gaming with patents.
Every single problem we have, on both the individual and world stages, can be walked back to a root cause – we don't know ourselves anywhere near well enough to be masters of our choices, and those choices which do happen (good and bad) seem to emerge and survive as much by accident or ignorance as by design. The whole "don't bring politics into it", "I didn't come here for politics" is a tiresome roundabout. You can't resolve problems by ignoring the factor that drives it, and you can't resolve the factor driving everything without attending to the problem (people who don't know themselves well enough) causing it.
Idk about yall but nintendo switch 2 is completely sold out in my city. Nintendo hasnt even finished emailing people about preorders either. Demand doesnt seem as low as ive been told it is 🤷. That or the supply is low. One of those is off

wait hold up Linus just paid for a skin :O
87th
Nintendo 1S
I went to my local Best Buy and bought the Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle, they had several on the shelf and no line. I got it as a gift for my brother, because I've bought him almost every Nintendo handheld going back 20 years. In the past I've had to go to pretty far lengths to get him exclusive editions and first releases, this was the easiest one to buy.
20:58 I do wonder if the finance came with some kind of discount. I've been seeing weird discount offers with financing and I can only imagine some people did it just for that if it was an option. Doesn't mean they couldn't have paid for it out of pocket.
Can we keep shitty American politics out of our awesome tech sector plox?
EDIT Jesus Christ Linus you just went stupid, unsubscribed from floatplane, you just made statements without showing any evidence and went full retard, no wonder Steve lawyered up. Linus J Trump over here.
I bet Wan Show would be even more interesting if I were interested in gaming tech. 😂
I knew it was inevitable that Elon and Trump would have a falling out. People with antisocial personality disorders don't tend to play well together.
The reason Elon was in favor of EV mandates going away is because his company had used up their credits. So he benefitted from them for years and wants them removed so his competitors can’t.
He wanted a new deal and obviously isn’t getting it.
tech bros
i call bull on low demand for the switch 2…sold out everywhere near me. you guys living in an alternate universe or something?
Don't PlayStation consoles have industry standard memory expansion?
