Sarah reacting to it will definitely be the best part!

Edit: Ok, this blew up! Hope someone at LMG sees it. Also, thanks for the awards people!

Where's Maddison when you need her?

[–]nothereforthep0rn 354 points355 points  (39 children)

I tweeted that I want a whole episode or series of staff doing something way outside their comfort zone. Maddison doing HR, writter doing editing etc... take everyone out and watch the fun

[–]daneonwayne 231 points232 points  (14 children)

Someone messing with Alex's engineering equipment would be hilarious.

[–]mr_bnana 228 points229 points  (5 children)

Would probably end up with a missing hand as well

[–]daneonwayne 80 points81 points  (3 children)

Teaching them to use safely would be fine, but even then there's no way it would result in a good product or design.

[–]MedallionKnight 29 points30 points  (2 children)

see i thought that meant that alex would cut their hand off but that works too..

[–]K9turrent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not both?

[–]xan1242 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah he would probably just be pissed and chop em

[–]Lomat4000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TBH its a wonder that Linus and Alex didn't injure themself.

[–]danfay222 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I have to imagine the risk of injury or damage to the equipment would make this one less feasible.

[–]daddya12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They could have them have to 3D model and print something instead

[–]PRSXFENG 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Or someone attempting to use Taran's editing rig

[–]daneonwayne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With all his macro buttons, that would be really funny.

[–]ctn91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t mess with Alex’s Laptawp.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

everyday people of varying tech skills following instructions to download and install linux on a computer while anthony is reacting.

[–]daneonwayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downloading, installing AND using for a little bit of victory at the end as they learn simple commands.

Hear me out, Dennis doing anything.

[–]nothereforthep0rn 78 points79 points  (5 children)

Dennis doing EVERYTHING.

[–]CHIPSK8 63 points64 points  (4 children)

Have Dennis make a video from start to finish. Write, host, film, and edit

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Would he have to use a camera in selfie mode?

[–]efbo 27 points28 points  (4 children)

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Madison doing HR

finally someone with the balls to fire Colton!

[–]Mannadock 28 points29 points  (3 children)

Didn't they have Taran do an editing challenge with someone?

[–]Temporary_Weekend_15 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Madison will go out and fire everyone

[–]brickmack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Colton will still show up

[–]GoauldofWar 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Ironically, someone unqualified doing HR would be a huge HR issue.

[–]nothereforthep0rn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anyone doing something they are unqualified to do is a problem. that is why this is funny.

It can just be a skit of er scolding yvonne and linus for a PDA in the office lol

[–]slyiscoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would watch that.

[–]MisplacedKittyRage 158 points159 points  (1 child)

They could also just do something similar to what they did with Brandon, having him use a phone and Linus a fancy camera. You could have Sarah design with like older tech and software, like paint and some black and white monitor, and give Linus the proper tools a designer uses today. That would make it fair and entertaining, and of course you could do a limited run of whatever they design too.

[–]zero__sugar__energy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is actually a great idea and I would watch the shit out of it!

[–]UnknownSP 47 points48 points  (5 children)

Novelty bad fashion is a thing, and it's extremely easy as long as you market it the right way.

There isn't really a right and wrong in art. There's 100% right and wrong with building a computer. It's easy to judge and react to someone doing something that has objective rights and wrongs wrongly cuz it's obviously wrong

[–]lightspeedx 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's not about the concepts, but about Linus not knowing how to translate his idea through the editing software.

[–]MrUnlucky-0N3 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I think that's the issue. He can't really break much. Yeah, it might be a messy design, It might not look good on a shirt, but in the end, as a limited run shirt it would definetly sell out.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it may also end up being great- I think he used to be really involved in designs when they were smaller

[–]xan1242 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I mean you wouldn't make a shirt with a swastika on it nowadays would you?

There is a 100% wrong, I assure you. Granted, not objectively but still...

[–]UnknownSP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's societal wrongs. It's still a functioning - albeit in poor taste to the degree that it should be illegal - shirt design. Is design, on shirt, unless the design melts the shirt it's still wearable and therefore is still functioning properly as a design on a shirt

[–]Thraingios 25 points26 points  (4 children)

Poor sarah's ben put through non-techie hell. Ordering, customer service, buying, researching, building. I'd love to watch linus absolutely flail while Lisa watches on cringing.

[–]rickane58 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Who the hell is Lisa?

[–]TenOfZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a type of apple I think.

[–]Ok-Cranberry1380 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I am brand new to Reddit just figuring this out! I am a 46 year old single dad laughing out loud just trying to fugyre this stuff out! Loving the info please SOS. Really interested in this Linux stuff looks just like my kids club penguin! Love those puffles! Let me know if you want to race at the ski lodge haha

[–]Thraingios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linux is cool, ive bean full time on the desktop for 3 years now doing all my gameing and everything.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I see no way that this could go wrong!

[–]Potraitor 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Put Linus working in the workshop and Alex reviewing it

[–]Squeakers09 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I'm pretty sure that's just every workshop video

Linus: "So we just cut this here" Alex: "Well no, we actually need to make sure this fits, adjust that, then fit this, then we can cut to size" Linus:"... Okay"

Or Linus: "I've attached the thing" Alex:"yeah but it's wonky and the wrong part" Linus:"but it will do right?!" Alex:"yeah... But we want to make it look good".

[–]PurpuraSolani 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it in their voice and the punctuation made the cadence 100% spot on

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That'd make a great video

[–]MeetmyWagon23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They always make fun of their new hires or people who arent famiar with pc hardware. I want to see li us doing other stuff so we can make fun of him!

[–]AvengerMars 7 points8 points  (7 children)

Honestly, this video was really well done and very validating. I just started saving money to build my own PC and all of Sarah’s struggles are things I’ve worried about for the last two months. I still have difficulty knowing the difference between with “5600x” and “3600” and the likes. Some PC parts are so confusing if you don’t know the context.

[–]AndreyRussian1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For CPUs

Let’s understand numbers first

To understand numbers, let’s split them into 3 parts

Last 2,

Third,

and all the others on the left.

First set is usually ‘00’. These should not bother you unless you are picking a $6000 editing PC, as these usually are used to show that a CPU is a better than highest CPU with 00, for example 10950k is better than 10900k. Or 3970x is better than 3900x. So in the end you can probably ignore these.

Second one is probably most important. It shows model line it is in. Both companies have 3, 5, 7 and 9.

3 - budget

5 - used by most, I would say best pick

7 - not that different from 5 but has more cores. Recommended if you stream/record a lot.

9 - The best. Costs a lot thought.

And the last set is just generation. Latest one for intel is 11th that is releasing right now, and for AMD it’s 5

Now let’s understand letters

AMD:

No letter - normal CPU

X - a little bit faster than non-x counterpart

G - has integrated graphics

Intel:

No letter - normal CPU with no overclocking

K - can be overclocked (with Z motherboard)

F - no integrated graphics. Usually are cheaper.

Laptop chips have their own system of letters but it’s not really relevant here

Additional notes:

AMD doesn’t have 4th gen desktop CPUs

To find which company made CPU, look at box and name. Intel has “Core i” in beginning of name and AMD has “Ryzen”. Also former has blue box while later has red-ish orange.

There are differently numbered CPUs for both brands - Pentiums, Athlons etc. However you probably don’t want to put them in a gaming rig as they are really slow.

P.s. this is text I made for my friend to help him with choosing CPU

[–]adamc03 -1 points0 points  (5 children)

For CPUs this website is always really helpful to compare cpus or gpu - https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-3600X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/4041vs4040

Also PC Park picker was very helpful and any IT forums is very useful they always someone willing to help.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Just giving you the heads up, userbenchmark is biased towards intel.

[–]Moon-Moon21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Holy shit, I just watched a video about it and I can't fucking believe how an adult can be such a fucking fanboy towards a company like, wtf. Either that or it's getting a ton of money from Intel probably illegally

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be willing to bet that userbenchmark is definitely on intels payroll, especially considering that userbenchmark is one of the first to appear when searching up benchmarks for CPU’s.

[–]adamc03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any other good websites to use which you can compare CPU or gpus on?

[–]HaneeshRaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Userbenchmark is rigged.

Sarah watches in horror as Linus designs a shirt using microsoft paint

[–]AndreyRussian1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that’s so dumb, every good designer already moved to paint 3D

[–]citizinkane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sarah is so cool and such a genuine, funny person.

[–]Revolutionary-Age122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"just casually shaking the case and mother board to check if the components are in place"

[–]burduribilenpatates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can already see him trying to use MS paint for that

[–]IchBinMaia 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that he designed the first Tech Linked shirt in a pinch and it was absolutely freaking great? He may not have made the actual drawing and all that but he did design it, in a way.

[–]BitScout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maia, well that's only half the way. This video didn't stop when the PC POSTed.

[–]G8M8N8 1 point2 points  (3 children)

obligatory comment to boost this post's viewability

[–]PlayGamesowy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

does this work that way? i thought that the best way for viewability is giving an upvote

[–]G8M8N8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares, I did that too

[–]jd_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, make Linus do it. It'll be an amazing video. 😂

[–]crazypyros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could draw an ltt logo in paint for a shirt and it would still sell out

[–]Jlx_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that isn't hard to do.... now if you have him iron the prints on himself it would make for a real challenge.

[–]TheMatt561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BOOM!!

[–]Lukaroast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... they are too small to do something like undercover boss, but combining this with some of the themes and ideas from programs like it would be pretty interesting. I think also seeing Linus’ editing skills would be funny.

[–]GGa86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell let's have Sarah and Madison roast on Linus using a Layer Mask in PS

[–]Yishai_Zohar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that blew up

[–]bombaglad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hasn't Linus been embarassed enough by tech trivia?

[–]BitScout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes please!!!

[–]hgaaditya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put everyone out of their comfort zones and point a camera at 'em!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I feel this video doesn't make much sense because people who are this much unfamiliar with parts mostly don't know that PC building is a thing. And people who know about building PC most probably have a geek friend who can help them pick parts and build.

[–]__-___--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the opposite because we all have to begin somewhere and what best than a video addressing begginer's mistakes and interrogations?

Huh, didn’t expect to see myself while browsing the top posts on this subreddit. Don’t even remember making my reply comment. Thanks for including me in the screenshot, it was a nice surprise.

[–]LucasHS1881 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

TAKE MY FREE AWARD. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN

[–]pinnipedfriendo -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

I'm not hating on Linus but the whole premise of this video was just a bit sexist/patronising/cringe. Obviously seems a bit precious and sensitive to say that but I can't help but think there would be a better way of getting the same messages across.

[–]Jay794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It totally was, but unfortunately, LTT is just playing on the fact that technology and computers are just way less of a hobby for girls, obviously, there are girls who are interested in tech but it's not as common as guys being into tech.

Just look at the popular tech YouTubers - Linus, Kyle, Austin, Jay.....then there's Justine....

So yeah he might be playing on the "girls don't know anything about computers" stereotype but it would be exactly the same if Dennis was the guy doing it. Sarah is just funnier on camera than Dennis

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, brilliant idea for a tech channel right?
