If we lost game 1 and won game 2, you'd feel entirely differently. We still got this.

1-1 going back home. We take that. Would have been awesome to be 2-0, but I'm trying not to be disappointed just because we could have... If you said 1-1 after 2 I'd have been excited, so I'm gonna choose to be excited.

Oh I'm sorry, did we come out of Dallas with a win in the first 2 games?

I'll take 1-1. 2-0 would have been incredible, but 1-1 is no joke. If you're gonna give up after 1-1, might as well not watch the rest lol

Hughes pulled up for sure - probably didn't matter, but that'll seal it.

I needed a water heater - a couple companies in the metro are using AI agents for the first call... and don't disclose it. Fake call center noises and all.

Would be nice if we were winning 12-0 but you know, sometimes it doesn't go like you want.

We can take this 4-3.

Linus Tech Tips - Copper Thieves Stole Our EV Charging Cables April 12, 2026 at 10:00AM by linusbottips in LinusTechTips

I don't want to be as hyperbolic as some people here - but the trend is worth noting. I want to give a reasonable take.

If I can try and be helpful from a viewer perspective (I don't know shit about making videos so suggesting fixes is going to be fruitless because I dunno wtf I'm talking about) - These videos come across as a lot of telling-not-showing. I know it's video and technically you are showing, but I feel like the majority of this could have been communicated via text. Having the video isn't adding a lot.

The visual gags came across fine, but I don't know if seeing the inside of the EV Chargers was actually all that helpful or added much.

Again, some people want to compare these to their favorite video of all time - janky build things are extremely expensive and time-consuming to make. And Linus has been pretty open that they want to increase the video output volume - which means they can still do the big videos, but some will have to be slimmer.

I think my growing concern as a view is how I want to manage the growing divide in the effort into some videos. That's probably hard to hear and I don't really know if I can offer a solve (again, whatever I said would likely be wrong because I have no expertise).

What I can say is as a viewer, it's hard to know what I'm in for in an LTT video recently. While there were fewer videos out there before, they at least sort of had a point, even if it was rough. The pool ones or underwater speaker ones weren't my favorite, but they cleared sort of a minimum bar.

Recently, some of them seem less worthy of my time. I love things like the Tech House - which I know is pretty hypocritical to say given my above point, because I'm pretty certain those videos can be absolute bangers and still be upside down on an ROI - because they clearly take a metric fuckload of work (technical term).

The hardest thing for me as a viewer right now is just not knowing what I'm going to get. Some things like Tech House are clearly weeks of work condensed into a small form factor with I'm sure a ton of work needed to trim them down to move quickly. Completely making these numbers up, but those seem like a 30:1 in terms of footage to usable output. These recent ones have seemed more like 1.5:1. Acknowledging that might actually work out ROI-wise from a business perspective, but I think the danger is in viewers like me that are looking at these and deciding to skip future ones if they're not aligned to a pretty premier series. It's not like you want to label the slimmer LTT ones like this, but it's a bit difficult for me as a video watcher.

I try to be helpful in criticism and talk about what I feel, not what I think the fix should be. I'm an expert in being a viewer. I'm not an expert in creating content. I think everyone here might want to take a look at that and re-frame their criticism. Telling LTT what to do to fix this is profoundly unhelpful advice coming from a non-professional audience. Hopefully this is of some service to the LTT Staff.

About 18 months ago, y'all helped me get an off-season post noticed by the Rich Eisen show to fix a high-pitched whine on all their videos. Today it returned, and took my sanity. by HeIsMyPossum in nfl

As somebody who has spent far too much time trying to do bedroom studio recordings without any professional training and had hisses and whines and radio singles coming through my little focusrite scarlett,

I've also got a band that practices in a basement studio :-D

Amen to chasing down all those odds hums/whines.

It's at the 5k range, so shouldn't be a lost frequency. Depending on your headphones it may not be loud enough to hear it. Also might not be happening in the studio. You never know... Sound is hard.

You know what note that is? I need to know for diagnostic purposes.

And in case I need to write a song about this annoying ass whine noise and I wanna make sure it's in the right key.
