Don't they have massive bunch of editors? Why not make someone to edit game footage to look like it would with this? (Did not give view) But isn't that kinda point of video material?

Just realized that after a decade of being subscribed, I haven't watched more than the opening few seconds of any of their videos in over a year. Between the lame attempts at comedy and the just plain weird and off-putting hosts in recent years there really is nothing to like anymore. Early content was sort of fun with the amateur vibe but it's turned into such a milquetoast machine of nothingness it is now time to say goodbye.

The only video of Linus that i have legit found worthwhile was the choose the correct ram one. And that was fucking ages ago.

My personal NAS is a very old PC repurposed to use as a NAS, which is great because the case has 8 hard drive bays. Performance doesn't really matter that much, any non-shit CPU can keep up with 10gbe and at least something that old has a lot of expansion bays to stick a card in. And CPU usage is always extremely low.
So if you're purpose building something today you should get something really low power, like the successors to the old Atom chips the N100/N200 or N305/N355. Custom NAS motherboards usually focus on those chips, for example CWWK (ChangWang, lol) makes a bunch like that: https://cwwk.net/collections/nas
For a portable NAS you need to start thinking about size, weight, and durability. Jeff Geerling put up a video yesterday of a pretty nice looking half width 1U high purpose built mini NAS with 4 NVME slots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxUOOcPgfK0
Benefit of that thing and rackmount equipment in general is you could use rugged portable rack equipment intended for musicians which are already meant for travel. It would be a LOT better than a janky Pelican case computer.

The better reason to use a USB DAC/AMP is that you're avoiding all the electrical interference that you'd be getting with a PCIe card, especially when these oldies weren't shielded at all. For example my USB DAC/AMP is completely noiseless, I can turn up the gain all the way to the max and it's dead silent. Another benefit of a USB DAC/AMP is if you get one with an independent volume knob. You can crank the system sound to 100% and have a hard physical limiter on the loudness. One, it's smoother than the 1-100 scale, two, you're not risking deafening yourself because something for some reason decided to set your system volume to the max, three, if you're recording video or sharing your screen there is no issue with others not hearing what's happening because you have to keep your system audio at 20 to be comfortable but that then goes into the software as well.
The BT is why I got one off of Aliexpress, you can get pre-made ones with genuine Intel AX210 cards mounted inside for cheap. Basically plug and play and it works great.
The reason why I went with one is because I want to keep my last free M.2 slot free for a future SSD. The caveat with those PCIe adapters is that you need a free USB 2.0 header on the motherboard for Bluetooth as for some reason that can't carry over PCIe with these adapters.
The bigger issue is that even if you get a full ATX board, you'll have like 2-3 PCIe slots, one will be the fully fledged one for the GPU, the rest will be badly positioned and more often than not limited to PCIe x1 as it has to go through the chipset because the CPU only has enough lanes for a x16 GPU and 1-2 NVMe SSD's.
Anyways, the mass exodus reminds me of a certain Polish YouTube channel by the name of TVGRYpl belonging to gry-online,pl, just your usual entertainment slop revolving around vidya. For a good while it was very popular, but mainly due to the people working on the videos. Everyone was a personality of their own but they also did some team collab videos.
Eventually they've decided to leave TVGRYpl and founded their own channel, "To Znowu Oni" ("It's Them Again", but when abbreviated to "TZO" it sounds like "CO" which means "WHAT"), which does rather okay for it's size (constantly going over 100k views at a <400k subscriber base) as well as their own personal channels. A good example is Grzegorz "Gambrinus" Bobrek, a guy who was known for two things: talking about WW2 and talking about death. His personal channel is focused on history events which clearly was always his passion and it's actually doing better than the TZO channel right now, where of course he still shows up.
As for what happened to TVGRYpl? The channel is dead. A sad mockery. 1.2 million subscribers, which is huge for a Polish channel, yet their videos get one to two digit views. You can say it's like Top Gear, it was the people that ran the show and the chemistry between them that were the reason people tuned in, not the show itself, so once those left and you've placed some literally who's to replace them your views plummet and your show dies. I feel like this is what's going to happen to Linus' media empire, but he's too egotistical and narcissistic to realize it yet. And when it happens he will suffer. A lot.

It's stupid how ATX boards are these days, they should properly have 7 slots, I'm fine with a bunch of them being 1x or 4x. But of course stupid giant GPUs need 2-3 slots, and now that NVME & in some cases thunderbolt are common there aren't enough lanes -- Intel and AMD still restrict more PCIe lanes to higher end consumers & servers.
But I could complain at length about how bad current DIY PC building is.

It's funny when you realize all the trailers and shit are about the top tier where only 10% of the userbase gets there without spending around 200-300$ per nation to buy gold or premium vehicles to progress that far, while most of the tech trees which are set in ww2 are completely abandoned and the game doesn't play well or fun for the majority of the content.

My favorite thing about the comic is that we're clearly supposed to feel bad for the person who's unable to maintain basic communications with someone who is trying to ask them to do basic household chores atop of it, because the person they're leaving in the lurch by expecting to just excuse their situation is frustrated that they're not doing anything proactive.
Hint, if you keep not doing something that you are entirely capable of doing, and then use some mental issue either real or made up to avoid any confrontation over that lacking, you are not the victim, you're a dick. It doesn't matter what you have or are, it matters what the other person feels and perceives about what you've done about it, and that off screen character clearly feels ignored and frustrated. Do something about it instead of sulking and expecting people to feel bad for you. Like it or not, its your job to compensate and adapt for any real or perceived disabilities of your own, not theirs.

In short, they were fired for violating their non-competes when they launched the Zip Tie Tuning channel. This was after LMG put the kibosh on a car focused channel, in part due to a downturn after the Gamers Nexus videos. To quote: "The amount of damage his videos did to the channel cannot be overstated. With lost sponsors, terrible community sentiment, and some really good talent leaving the company because they did not sign up for death threats." He then goes on to be somewhat critical of Steve's videos but readily admits that LMG had "an incredible number of issues."
As far as the getting fired part went, he said he was pulled into a meeting with LMG management + HR shortly after the launch of ZTT for violation of the non-compete. He states he was given the following three options:
- Take down Zip Tie Tuning
- Hand over the channel to LMG and become the channel manager
- Get fired
Also, they launch a tech focused channel at the end of the video if anyone cares:

Off-topic, but I'm so tired of seeing this being claimed everywhere by everyone for any reason. Am I living in a parallel reality where people don't just threaten you over some retarded online drama that doesn't even directly involve them, or are they living in one where "kys fag" is a credible threat?

If you are involved in even semi-pro sports (think lower division european football leagues), stuff that gets syndicated globally by big gambling, you our someone you know has received vile threats from vermin (brown gambling addicts) that have lost money on your match.
It's fair to assume LTT has global reach to millions of vermin (additionally regular GN viewers are autistic as shit) that can find the spouse of LTT staff on Instagram and send her threats of raping and killing her and her kids. Which as you yourself observed is not a regular occurrence for normal people. So its a sane reaction to go: "wait a minute I signed to make slop videos, not get threats on social media, time to move on".

I've long since stopped watching LTT. But, I'm sad(glad?) to see these guys leave. They aren't exactly ball busting comedy acts. But, they could be on camera and act like they're capable of having human emotions, which is a big deal for youtube slop farms like LTT.

These guys have been watching too much of the last episode of The Office, where Dwight "fires" Jim and Pam so they can leave and collect a good chunk of severance as they move to Philadelphia for his sports agent job.
That these guys went and also made a new tech channel doesn't feel like it was all sunshine and rainbows. It feels like LTT tried to make this the most cordial firing in order to have a friend in the space should another GN nuke drop.
