2:32:54 What you are really saying is that there is too many men. Why don't you stand down and let some women replace you. Or do other men have to have the burden placed on them?

Typical liberal linus "im not saying anything poltical just things everyone should agree with"

Regarding the call recording discussion, I think we've as a species / society have just gotten used to the fickle memory of individuals and assuming that conversations or actions can't adequately be reproduced.

Once we started becoming able to record voices and visuals, people started getting weirded out by the thought that even though you are clearly being recorded by other people internally with their own memories, they couldn't just upload those conversations or visuals for other people to see. People not liking a recording of themselves being used against them is silly, because the person they were talking to could easily do the same exact thing .. but we make a lot of loopholes for it because they could technically lie, or misconstrue / misremember information, etc.. A recording, on the other hand, cannot do these things by itself. It's pure history stored.

So for the longest time in human history, we've just become used to being able to have "private" moments because there was no way to make it public outside of the person who observed it putting themselves out there to state it. And thus being able to hide behind the faulty nature of human memory and integrity for whether it's admissible or not. And most people are not going to spend the time to make record of everything they've observed, understandably as it's a daunting task to do 24/7. With technology being so absurdly efficient at doing that job for you, it's made people have to take pause / question of their behaviors, as they can now be shown easily and accurately to others.

So it's not so much a question of morality around privacy, but as to whether the other person can more easily use that information maliciously against you, or righteously to expose you. It's way more about people being concerned not that people will know, but that they may be judged by it, something they used to be able to almost entirely avoid. The people who don't do anything wrong and who don't care about other people's opinions / judgements don't care about this, especially if as a society we don't attempt to be malicious with it. The ones that are deathly concerned are the ones that could hide away from being exposed and legally accountable. That's been the eons long concern that has only gotten more and more easier in the same timeframe. Modern Tech is the epitome of being caught red handed.

Stop humanizing him by calling him Elon, he's not your friend. It's part of his tech bro strategy. Call him Musk.

Linus: Can I interrupt you for a second?

Me: Wow he actually bothered to ask for once.

Linus, what you're talking about with the issue of YT doing nothing to actually improve their service and just worry about profit, has been happening to pretty much every tech related company for AT LEAST the last 5-8 years and im surprised it's not talked about more.

I've noticed over the years a lot of tech companies really don't seem to care anymore about actually making a good product, it's more about using their product to manipulate you to get their profit. My theory is that, there is so much information about us floating around, that they don't necessarily need to make the consumer happy anymore to earn a profit or be a successful business. They just need to manipulate you enough with all the data they gather about you, to get what they need. Back then, they HAD to make a good product because that was the only way people would buy into the business and product, they didn't have all this data to understand everything about you.

So things have definitely made a massive turn in the tech industry and it is not going to get better, i don't see how. All of these things we use are almost a necessity now, i guess the only solution is competition, but most other new companies will fall into the same trap in time. It's actually pretty sad what's happening in my view. What's happening is basically, "You're gonna use or buy what we want you to use/buy and there's nothing you can do to stop it AND you're only allowed to use it the way we want you to."

Linus is so 80 IQ here. You can dislike Elon Musk, but trying to pretend he wasn't the founder of tesla because he didn't own the shell company incorporation– a technicality– is ridiculous.

Buy a real watch. Watches are jewelry, not consumer electronics garbage.

Recording: If my eyes and ears can see/hear it, so should my camera. Any exception to this, means someone is counting on you forgetting, ergo shady!

Why couldn't ya have brought those last merch messages in manually?

"I don't get long format; I don't have time!"

… says a guy who's sitting there creating one for 2.5 and sometimes 3+ hours as he speaks!
OK, how does that work?

"I'm not a milk drinker…."
Both of you: So then when you do have your cereal in it, what do you do when the cereal runs out before the milk does? You just foolishly waste it rather than finishing up what's in the bowl without pouring more cereal, or…?

Luke's like, "Back when I was making videos…."
Oh? What do you do instead now?

Psch, "oil-cooled computer"? Geesh, as if the water version wasn't already way overkill, what's the point?

"Whaell, shewt!" LOL!

"Quit or resigned"? Ha, what might the "difference" supposedly be?

"Musk was not the original 'founder' "? As opposed to… a "founder" that you can still have later?

As usual, you have been more ill because you're boostered, than those with zero jabs.
I am so so sad you have put all that into your body, and I sincerely hope you will be ok, there's a lot of health issues arising from those clot shots.

Damn blue berry pie almost matches the rgb in my pc

I just realized to many of LTT viewers Linus feels like Elon, they might get a few hundred a year in allowance/gifts/etc. Where linus is allegedly a millionaire. (Please don't sue me Linus or Simon)

Whereas those of us into our careers realize how much closer Linus is to us financially then Linus is to Elon. The scale from millions to billions/tens of billions is just astronomical.

Linus some constructive criticism. Your mic sucks big time.

Of course you're separate companies from the owner(s) of Nebula! Isn't that why that guy would be asking about considering a MERGER. You don't do that with a company you already own, do you? What would be his or her point of asking if you were already joined to Nebula! And then how would you expect us to ask Nebula if you're considering a merger with them? Pscchhh!

COVID is weird. I got it and had super bad pain on the eye muscles and a little sore throat and coughing and like 37C/38C temp. I was not feeling that bad i've had worse colds. In fact EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET A COLD i lose my smell and taste but i didnt lose it during COVID. At the same time i know people that still havent fully recovered after months. So its up to the person, i was 100% sure even with me being overweight and with asthma that I'd be alright with COVID.

They took away the dislike button count oh wait you said good thing didn't you 😅🤦

Is YouTube actions falling along the same lines as a toxic employment office? (Purposefully making the employees job more difficult).
