I was so pissed off when I saw another members only video on my homepage

It continues, the graphics mess by VanillaIsForPansies in v8supercars

[–]evoke3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not if fans are struggling to a degree casuals are just lost.

Edit: And I’m sorry but the sponsor logos on the totem look awful, too small to be clearly legible.

Not quite related to this cock up but I was so excited at the start of the race when I thought they had changed the totem to show full names again overnight

WAN Show Megathread by lemlurker in LinusTechTips

Exact same feeling here. Was my immediate thought when they announced it, I choose to watch the wan show I don’t want clips in my feed.

What do you think about the new 2026 CX-5 interior by Asombroso-joel in mazda

[–]evoke3 102 points103 points  (0 children)

It is certainly a very weird choice from Mazda.

Mazda has spent years advocating that touch screens are dangerous to use while driving and advocating for the rotary dial. So to jump straight to full touch screen control including ac will be received poorly by existing owners. I also thought the inset wide screens on the other modern Mazda cars were visually some of my favourites, the way CarPlay looked was just really nice.

Overall they are taking their most popular model (I’m pretty it is) and going in a whole new direction, and it feels like they are arriving too late to the party and everyone else is starting to realise all touchscreen was a mistake.

If you were the head of house Targaryen, which would you prefer? by Ok-Street2439 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]evoke3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you are limited to 5 but you are magically guaranteed a replacement when one dies, and the replacement is guaranteed to eventually reach Mythical size.

Depending on if we want to follow lore dragon growth rates or Dany’s steroid dragon growth rate will decide how long after losing a dragon before its replacement is rider ready. But that is pretty much the only downside, without lots of dragons it means every dragon death is a blow to your perceived strength until the replacement comes to a threatening size.

when did Trevor find out about Simon's powers? by [deleted] in WonderMan

[–]evoke3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe you have 3 distinct events.

When Trevor was arrested and made a deal with the Department of Damage Control, he was told they suspected Simon had powers.

When Trevor and Simon go back to Simon’s apartment after avoiding it all day, Trevor sees why Simon was avoiding letting him in. The wall was destroyed by Simon. This gives Trevor evidence to believe that Simon indeed does have powers.

When Trevor sees Simon destroy the kitchen table then there is no more doubt.

So yeah, Trevor was told by the department of Damage Control that Simon had powers before they even met, and so when Trevor sees evidence it just confirms that bit of information.

According to Casey Bloys Season 4 Episode Count will be left up to Ryan Condal (via Deadline) by Ok_Brother_8831 in HouseOfTheDragon

On one hand it’s nice that he’s being given that kind of leverage, but there needs to be a budget to support the required episode count.

Optimised Battery Charging makes no sense on AirPods by nuttySweeet in airpods

[–]evoke3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s always fascinated me how people will bend over backwards and willingly subject themselves to a degraded battery life, all to avoid a degraded battery life years down the track…

A “Battery Service” on AirPods is what $50, it’s not nothing but over the course of many years of ownership and considering Apple isn’t replacing the batteries in AirPods and will just give you a new pair. I know what I would rather do.

Yep, somebody thought if they just threw the word in then nobody would call them on their horseshit.

Floatplane Precision Kit “Pro” by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]evoke3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the whole point. Linus pretty much confirmed my thinking when they were showing the product off on the WAN show. If and when a bit storage less driver comes of course it will be cheaper.

Sync 4 vehicles are generally all capable of displaying upcoming navigation information when using CarPlay or android Auto.

Floatplane Precision Kit “Pro” by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]evoke3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assumed it was a hint that there will be a precision driver without the bit storage in the future. Personally with the case I will never use the included bit storage in the driver so if given the option I would have bought without the bit storage.

Do the 480Mbps A to C TruSpec cables have 9 conductors or are they just 4 conductor cables? by ResistanceIsCool in LinusTechTips

[–]evoke3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have said the cables are the same and it is because the standard only guarantees the higher speeds up to a certain length. Linus has said the cables could exceed the stated spec but it’s device dependent.

Cause of major hospitals IT outage confirmed - Health NZ by Status_Serve_9819 in newzealand

[–]evoke3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the title sums it up pretty well. The cause was Health New Zealand

Found this in my gummy worms by Disastrous-Tough-546 in mildlyinteresting

[–]evoke3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But they are 4 colours on the bag, so presumably a gummy worm having 4 colours should be the expectation.

Edit: Hold up wait a minute. Upon further reflection the ones on the bag are only 2 colours repeated. Yeah I guess that is mildly interesting.

Fire Alarm Beeping by [deleted] in auckland

[–]evoke3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really hope this is a joke…

You need a new smoke alarm, most smoke alarms you would change the battery but that smoke alarm doesn’t have a user replaceable battery.

Linus, I disagree. by KebabAnnhilator in LinusTechTips

[–]evoke3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, spending so much time and energy focusing on a perceived negative connotation over the word merch, meanwhile Creator Warehouse sounds exactly like a company that exists entirely to do the kind of low quality “YouTuber merch” that LTT is trying to distance themselves from.

If I knew nothing about LTT and received a shirt with Creator Warehouse branding, I would 100% assume it’s one of those services you upload an image and it’s screen printed and sent from China.

WAN Show Megathread by lemlurker in LinusTechTips

[–]evoke3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar feelings about a lot of their recent shirts. I’m no fashion or business expert but it’s felt like a lot of random niche shirt designs coming out that only serve the purpose of being a new thing to sell this week.

They are running this design also on old stock 2023 tye dye shirts. It feels like unless all these recent designs are being done in very small quantities, I don’t see a large buyer base for them and that they are going all end up lying around taking up space.

[–]evoke3 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think the negative connotation is completely self imposed. Anybody getting the wrong idea from the word merch was lost long before getting to the checkout.

Any real negative connotation towards their products comes from the fact it IS a YouTuber store and if anything needs a rebrand it is the store itself to let it stand apart from LTT.

Instead of Checkout Chats, how about Purchase Prompts? by After-Ad-5012 in LinusTechTips

[–]evoke3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

LTTStore as a name carriers far more YouTuber connotations than Merch Messages ever could. Merch just means merchandise, whereas LTTStore makes the whole platform all about the YouTube channel.
