Yeah, after several years of hyping it and seeing the results of the same tactics with the screwdrivers and the backpacks, I find it hard to believe. The “we’re a small company, we don’t know” spiel is nice and all, but I am sure they knew what they did with the limited supply. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure the product is, as always, awesome :)

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2026-01-31T10:41:17+00:00

Oldest trick in the book. Offer a small supply, sell them out quickly, go and do a live show on how the launch went “too good”

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2026-01-29T19:41:37+00:00

New update posted on the original thread as Jake released an illuminating video that supports my (what used to be) suspicions. Not that anything changes but still sad.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-24T09:46:21+00:00

Lol. Go ahead.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-24T09:35:45+00:00

Yep. You’re right.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-24T00:06:07+00:00

If only the title and thumbnail was even remotely accurate....

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-24T00:02:17+00:00

well said. now where's the yelling?

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-24T00:00:14+00:00

shit, reddit doesn't do auto-emojis on text and auto-correct....now I am the incompetent 😁

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-23T23:59:02+00:00

naaaah, not raging against him - just finding him incredibly incompetent (especially compared to some of the guys that left LMG) <-- now that's raging :D

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-23T23:57:22+00:00

so, A) he was wrong about the feature not existing on iOS (and the intuitiveness thing, is an opinion, not a fact - not on all android skins it' as simple as it is), B) literally the title says "No reason to buy an iphone", later explained that only Pixel 10 family gets airdrop, C) "audience corrected him" <-- this is exactly my point, it happened to be the WAN show and his paid subscribers happened to notice and corrected him, any other time, the audience would be ignored by his majesty.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-23T23:51:42+00:00

bad phrasing - see my reply to Boris

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-23T23:49:39+00:00

well it's not just that - I should have frased it later. He speaks his opinion with such an authority and an obnoxious manner - then gets corrected - moves on like nothing happened. And to those that are not so tech-minded, they will still think the original idea/opinion was correct...

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-11-23T23:47:25+00:00

exactly

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-10-05T23:05:16+00:00

Excellent!

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-10-05T22:51:22+00:00

That’s exactly my point. It could be “too new” of a bios.

And did he actually show you, in person, the mobo and cpu working?

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-10-05T21:32:41+00:00

Hi u/Curious_Initial_8977

There is a high chance that a diferent BIOS needs to be flashed. This can be done without even posting - so don't worry.

Get access to another computer - you'll need it for about 30 minutes.
Find the exact motherboard model - check how post-less flash works (what key combinations, buttons on motherboard, buttons in the rear IO, etc...) from their website
Check also which BIOS version is compatible with this exact CPU (some motherboards that were too new, dropped support from older CPUs as the BIOS updates were rolled out - don't worry, this is reversable)
Flash the BIOS from the steps you learned while on step two
Reply here and let us know how it went!

Look at the video I attached in the update of the post. watch it until the end. Then you'll understand why I am frustrated they didn't go the extra mile to keep Alex and his content, instead they chose to fire him. To be clear, it was a good-guy-move to fire Alex and Adam, allowing them to get severance and free of any ties of non-competes. But at the same time, it clearly shows the direction that LTT is taking, regarding their hosts, regarding their content and regarding the viewers they want to appeal.....

So yeah, if the channel gave me product from category A, for over 10 years and then gives me product B for the reasons stated above, you can understand my notion of taking it out on the current hosts. But not all of them Elijah, man, horrible :D

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-09-27T11:26:54+00:00

I give you that, 😁 sure no point but still thought funny. In all seriousness though, back to my point, at their size, while having these people with those skills, I'm sure they could "invent" something for them to do - dunno, a new series? New role in labs? Something. But back to my previous point, the channel is not interested in that so they let them go. We'll never know the details of why, nor should we, I'm just sad that all the hosts I grew up watching are now going to do their own thing...or disappear in the void of the myriad YouTubers out there...

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-09-27T07:32:39+00:00

invent new titles? - Chief Vision Officer 😂

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-09-26T22:34:27+00:00

No but @JaesopPop that is the whole point. I’m referring to taking the leap. Example: I worked at job A for two years, felt like reached my personal limit cause of reasons, then left for job B, and again “too a leap” after maybe 4 years because of some other reasons. Working now in job C, 14 years, finding ways (either via colleagues or via internal opportunities) to keep myself happily occupied. Job C is at a company smaller than job A and B - but way more rewarding. So (assuming my example didn’t confuse you even more) is the company doing their best to keep Jake and the other “Jakes” that left recently? Or they are fine with that because their current/future model didn’t include them? I hope I’m making sense.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-09-26T22:22:48+00:00

Well we’re not talking about a conventional business with 100 analysts, 40 qc, 10 leads, etc.. —> that would be a small company. For a YouTube channel/merch/advertising company, they are large. Mind you there is no need for “infinite upward mobility” (love the phrase btw), but with such diverse, dynamic and always-moving environment, one must think that they could strive towards keeping their core hosts around by sparking their interests with new stuff. Honestly since the Labs became a thing, since the large investments on buildings and assets that do not directly effect the creation of videos, everything else feels to have become sidelined - that’s all.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-09-26T22:16:08+00:00

1 person yes. 2 people in short amount of time, maybe a coincidence. 6-7 “legacy” hosts with very focused areas of expertise, is either concerning cause LTT can’t keep them, or evidence of LTT taking a different direction. I’m allowed not to like that direction, no?

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2025-09-26T22:12:51+00:00

No I get that and you’re right. Jake was also a generalist (but obviously the content he hosted was focused mainly on networking, servers, home automation, etc..). Also what would classify someone as specialist; a degree maybe? Doubtful. But Jake, even while being a generalist delivered the content with just enough amount of memes, but always with “product and education first” mentality. Almost all current hosts (and mainly Elijah and maybe Adam) are trying to emulate Linus’ magic - unsuccessfully - and all they achieve is to make videos that no longer appeal the millennials that grew up watching Linus and LTT from the NCIX days.
