      Watching them do racks is fucking painful. They're basically all just hobbyists getting to mess with this stuff for the first time, without realizing why certain things are the way they are.
      We already know how to do everything they're doing. Almost like, most IT practices exist for practical reasons.
      They're basically learning all of these lessons the hard way, when Linus could just hire a consultant that could organize all of this in a short period of time. It would cost less *overall* to have someone do it correctly the first time - even if you pay more upfront.

    I remember watching LTT since I was around 12 years old, which is since about 2010. Seeing to what this chanel has grown into is absolutely wild, and I'm here for every minute of it. These past few months feel like a very momentous moment in history for both LTT and also the TH-cam tech space. Having a look at the type and amount of work Linus and his team have put in, I could very well imagine LTT being THE biggest player in the electronics review space, hopefully displacing the oversaturated sphere of online-media, that only post half-informative reviews, with very little actual testing and info about real world perfomance. Wanna see how a headphone compares to others? Go to LTT! Wanna know what is the best bang for your buck GPU in 2034? Go to LTT! I can absolutely envision a future, where almost all reputable brands will post stuff like "LTT certified" or "4/5 stars given by LTT" and that carrying some major weight. I really hope this genuine and honest approach to tech will have a positive impact on the tech space all together and I fell, we as the consumers, are better off that way!
