And then you have that one guy that rotates his monitor using this.
I'm only 65 inches tall. I would want to make some sort of crazy mirror room with them.
Obligatory fuck Linus
Nvidia spotted. Launching "Nvidia, fuck you!" strike
So at what point does a VR headset end up actually being cheaper than your specialty odd-size curved monitor?
It's an advertising display. They're just having fun with it.
It costs 4 grand and has a resolution of like 3480x600, making its pixel density pretty much useless for a monitor.
Heading gun?
Autocorrect's version of "having fun"
Ew, Linus
I don't understand how this guy has an audience. I saw one video that was alright where he cleaned a water-cooling system. The rest were like, "look at all this garbage we bought on Aliexpress lol," and I bounce after several seconds.
He's got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that "people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways" entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he's in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.
It's a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don't think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.
Though I don't really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won't see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions
He’s got a lot of charisma
That's funny.
He used to have some charisma lol. Also the early Linus Tech Tips content, like back when they were running it out of someone's house, was usually pretty entertaining. Back then the content was much more silly and creative though, and much less corporatized.
For people interested in tech edutainment he's alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.
So much terrible click bait has meant I haven't bothered clicking in a year or so though.
I'm pretty judgemental of people who use more than one screen. Do you not have hotkeys to jump between bookmarked parts of your buffers? Is momentarily splitting a screen between two programs so difficult? Does Alt-Tab simply not exist in your universe?
The judgement continues.
