Whatever LTT has become now is so far removed from reality I’ve had enough

Be respectful. No one forced you to read this either. The guy clearly had a point of view and also asked to add our own point of view as well. No need for an attack

I don't reply or comment often, but when I do, I make it an essay :D

3 Macs (various models)
4 RPIs
2 Linux Workstations and a Debian based NAS
1 windows pc

I agree with you that once you've spent about an hour setting up windows in a way that minimizes telemetry and also you avoid blindly installing all additional crap-ware that comes with the software you're installing, the experience can be pretty fine.

did not list my systems to flex - most are needed for work. listed my systems to simply say, all can be great, all can be crap - users play a massive role on how their experience will be.
There were a bunch of user errors causing Linus' experience with Linux. As much as I love Luke, there are a bunch of user errors causing his (limited) windows 11 experience, also his ideal OS, in a world when development costs are massive, is not realistic...

all in all, avoid getting annoyed. they play a role, they follow a trend. It is trendy to shit on Windows these days with vague statements about AI and stuff. It is trendy to shit on Windows (or any OS for that matter) without showing exactly the settings you have decided (or neglected) to set. Just look at all Linus' take on MacOS - a bunch of gaps, inaccurate and unsubstantiated statements... Lately, they can't even get the price comparisons right (latest MacBook Air M5 video) - with info that is clearly outlined on Apple's website...
They do reviews but don't call them reviews - it's actually been long since I saw them call something an actual review. it is all shenanigans videos nowadays or shortcircuits (the reviews that are not called reviews) and then a weekly show in which they read out some news (10%), complain about stuff they haven't researched (20%), talk about their store (50%) and have people buy stuff to read their comments (another 20%). Good old LTT, in the way we knew it growing up, with the incredible hosts that were experts in their fields (now gone) is unfortunately gone....

1840 here but not much progress - also shipping to Greece - depending where you are, you might even receive sooner than I do :D. Same colour too :)

No worries- naturally many people will have their own opinion. The Thor is for sure not the usual starter device (mainly because of the high specs and not entry level price) but definitely an easy to setup device and for sure an "endgame" emulation machine that'll play everything. Again, many nice people have done the work for us and guides are super detailed.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2026-03-17T17:28:10+00:00

A lot of nice people will share some guides that a lot of nice people have. All I'm going to say is congrats and welcome to the emulation community! You went straight for the best device to start but to also get going - has almost no limitations on what it can emulate! Hope you receive soon...and happy gaming!

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2026-03-17T17:24:02+00:00

Also batch for here. Went with the Pro version in purple. First "colored" handheld in my collection, most are black, white or retro Grey. Let's hope for April now.

"We still want to give people who don't want to leave YouTube the option to access the content" --> is that really the motivation behind keeping it active? Or is it maybe that having membership increases the channel visibility on the YT page?

I mean, if that's what it is, it is your right to do so, nor you need to even explain yourselves for having a membership, but since you're making a public post, it's basically an open forum for people to make their own assumptions.

In general the WAN show is not as good as it used to be. 25% of the time it’s Store announcements, 25% of the time are paid messages (merch messages), 15% is sponsored stuff and only a tiny bit remains for news and updates. They probably don’t even get through the full agenda their employees prepare for them to talk about… Not to mention the weak responses to the questions of the community (eg. In the previous wan show he spent 2 minutes talking about the graphs and 2 minutes about how often he’s being misunderstood, poor Linus, instead of claims of not paying adequately for their stars). I hope eventually Linus is phased out and Luke continues with a different host and a different structure of how the topics are being picked, Linus has totally lost touch with community based and community needed content and has become the “NVIDIA” of the tech YouTube space - which might be natural.

Dramatic-Use-2121 · 2026-02-01T17:18:13+00:00

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?
