Could you give us some summary of it? I'm not really keen to watch an over 40 minutes "rant" video, if that's part of what this is. |
The general theme is
1) That LTT is willing to sacrifice accuracy in order to make a schedule and showed multiple example where video have what should of been easily catchable mistakes make it into video even when they know before hand. Proof of final claim is they will make notes in the video that the data wrong when such major mistakes really should be reshot before release.
2) Concerns that some of LTT business connections Framework, Noctua, new CEO use to have a important position at CORSAIR can lead to the perceptions of bias when LTT seem to go easy on some of those companies.
3) Then a segment on one troubling incident with a water cooler from BulletLabs which they reviews not following Bullet Labs instructions for installation and installing it on a GPU bulletLabs said it was not intended for. Linus response paraphrase was
"well even if it we tested it on the right product and it had amazing temperature the conclusion would still be it a bad product so no point on us spending money to test it correctly."
Even worse after telling BulletLabs they would return the prototype as BulletLabs is a small company and don't have money to make multiple prototype Linus instead auction it off at a charity event at LTX.
Since the release of the video Linus did respond to this accusation and basically admitted it was true that they auction off the porotype but blame it on miss communication and that he will be writing a check to BulletLabs to compensate for lost of the prototype (Linus claim that he had already agree to compensate BulletLabs before Game Nexus video came out but no way to verify that).
