May favorite part was at 2:21:39 when he says "Oh my God!! Really??!!" for that awesome MAGA Gold phone. I would buy one of those right now if they worked where I live, jk 🤣🤣🤣
With regards to Nvidia supposedly having like a 95% market share… According to Tom from Mooreslawisdead those numbers can't be accurate. Supposedly they ran the numbers from how much money AMD and Nvidia made from gpu sales and it looked more like 20/80. They also had someone from Sapphire on the show a while ago who also was saying how the numbers from the steam survey just didn't add up and they also thought AMD's share had to be higher than that…
Thoughts? I wouldn't just blindly keep trusting Steam's numbers anyway.
Looking at the biggest tech site in my country, they have a pricewatch for tech stuff that is basically the primary way anyone buying pc hardware finds stuff here… They sort by popularity and on first and second place is a 9070XT (followed by a 5080). It's not exactly conclusive evidence and it's a small market of course, but it does strengthen the argument that Steam's numbers might not be reliable.

It's really not dead, the company shut it down to focus on a more profitable model.
This is STILL not the win we need.
I don't wanna subscribe to lmgclips because 100% of the content there I don't want to watch because I watch wan show. Moving the wan show there will only make it like 90% I don't want to watch and that's still 89% more shit I won't watch than I want in my subscription feed.
UK Windows user here. A very different experience. We don't have Recall. We don't get ads.
my biggest problem is the clips that i will have in my feed of the show i just watched…
so no more Kingdom Hearts games? Noooooooooo! 😆
Secret lab was a way better sponsored.
Luke need to make a football shaped pc for the world cup !!!!!!
He never did one after the radeon r9 nano
How come tv never been sued for addiction
Because same people would be watching tv
note to self: linus's linux curse is airborne like covid
11th
i ended up setting up a windows vm with gpu pass through. it logs me out of my linux account but then loads windows. With 2 GPU's This wouldn't needed. It seams to work ok. I also setup a vm of windows without gpu passthrough which lets me do 90%of the stuff I need to do. If i want to game or use software that requires a gpu its not to much of an issue.
You guys should just hire the timestamp guy! 😂
