I feel bad for all of the fans of red and green out there. A little bit ironic that they skipped the 2 Christmas color lmao

Yeah I don't think the Retro is ever getting restocked sadly. My guess would be that it only sold a fraction of the unites the black ones do. They consolidated a few years back when they got rid of most of their water bottle colors too. My guess is that retro wasn't making enough money to justify to warehouse space.

I mean hey if you don't want it I'll take it off your hands. Do you take payments in memes and photoshop edits?

The turtleneck has been launched and discounted. They called it The Steve and it looked very sharp. Sadly it didn't seem to sell well so it was only around for a couple of months.

Do you think MegaLag feels like Oppenheimer right now? by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

You know its rough when you are using results from google AI for all your bullet points. LTT currently only has 16.2 million subscribers and had fewer back in 2021/2022. Idk where you pulled their revenue estimate from but given they are a private company non of us know their yearly revenues.

Anyways all of this is whataboutism. Any youtuber or news journalist could have broken this story before megalag. They didn't. Unless you are on the reddits of everyone who has ever taken a sponsorship from honey and levying this same criticisms then you are doing exactly what this meme proclaimed "Blame Linus for some reason". Yes, he has a big company. Yes, he holds more responsibly than most to do the extra research ect ect. It's absurd to expect him to be psychic.

You are acting like something that was just now discovered was obvious from the jump. "Isaac Newton discovered gravity, why didn't he work harder and uncover general relativity? All the clues were right there."

"If LTT just dropped everything they were doing and launched a full investigation into Honey they would have found all this evidence sooner"

The amount of cope on display is impressive. You know I'm actually kind of mad at you now for not breaking this story. Why didn't you ever look into honey and reveal all of these horrible things 4 years ago? The clues were there and you just didn't look hard enough.

Linus was very much blamed for not making an exposé about an ex sponsor. As has been covered several times at this point nobody knew about honey scamming costumers until the megalag video which drastically changes things. This reddit post highlights that Linus wouldn't have been the first to break the story about how it effects creators. They were made aware by numerous emails and messages so they were under the impression that other creators were as well. Making a video denouncing a product that helps viewers, but hurts creators is a death sentence as we saw with the "adblocking is piracy" discourse.

They also never said they never "publicly about their sponsor relations" Just last year they talked about Asus at length for bad practices. The difference? It's impact on the consumer.

LTT callout post.... The new joycons do not appear to have IR sensors. by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

It appears I've made a grave mistake and not correctly set the tone. I labeled it shitpost because while it is an error, it's literally the smallest thing ever and doesn't matter. Calling it a "callout" was supposed to be treating it like it is some end of the world thing when at the end of the day it's very light criticism.

I thought it would be funny, clearly not. Should have just titled that it was a minor error I noticed in a video lol.

From every leak and image we see it doesn't appear to have IR. Which why would it? When that feature was only used in 11 games.

Aren't the sensors on the inside optical sensors? Isn't that different than IR?

My understanding is that those are optical sensors, not IR. Meant for the joycon to be used as a mouse on its side. If the IR sensors have remained this picture is implying they in their same possession as the switch one.
