Pretty damning review.

    If I want an actual review, I’ll trust Jeff Geerling, GN, Explaining computers, Craft computing, or ETA Prime.

    If I want to watch someone do dumb tech stuff, I’m going for Linus, Dawid, …and red shirt Jeff Geerling. The difference is that the latter two go into it fully transparent that what they’re doing is purely for the “will it blend?” vibe and should not be taken too seriously.

    Linus’ videos blur the line a little too much between legitimately educational and purely for the entertainment value in a way that could give people false impressions of either the tech or processes.

      Agreed. Everyone should learn to seek out multiple reviews while searching for products and not trust one source.

      Love channels like Jeff geerling and craft computing for homelab stuff. They manage to keep things short from, fun, and informative. GN and Explaining Computers is too long form and dry for me. Nothing I’m doing is that deep. But they are super necessary for the space and I recognize that.
