    The tech upgrade videos are legit the best content on this channel... And it's genius
    He gets his sponsor to basically donate a huge bonus to his employees and he makes a video on it which in turn, makes money for the company.
    Its great content too because the way linus and his employees interact, is hilarious. It's also informative content.

      Gaggia is pretty much the ideal starting machine if you have any interest in getting into the weeds/trying to get coffee shop results. Most of the other options in the range don't accept a standard basket or have easily serviceable/modifiable parts.

    The Texh Upgrade is also a super smart investment in the future of the channel. Like who can be a host infront of the camera as well, who is maybe a natural talent and a crowd pleaser.
    And it also shows how huge the company actually is and how many people it takes to run such a huge channel.

    David has gotten better with his production quality. I know he was outstanding before, but he's just better now. The way he brought the ram shot into focus like that, that can't be as easy as he made it seem. Anyway, just thought I'd mention this since the guy behind the camera, especially when it's not Brandon, might sometimes get overlooked.

    As a future note to Linus and the team, you can use a steam account to download over a local network from one computer to another. We loaded BG3 to my computer from my cousin's in about 15 minutes over the local network when my internet was out so my friend and I could play over the LAN.
    So you didn't need to take out the SSD from the laptop to speed it up lol

    • @reappermen
      @reappermen ปีที่แล้ว +2

      To be fair, 5k into the pc alone is actually quite difficult.if you don't comp,etely waste money on a 4090, you get a super high end graphics card (7900xtx or 4080) for around 1200, around 500 for a really highe nd cpu, maybe 200 for the case, 300 for combined storage, 150 for ram and probably another 300 for coolers, extra fans and such. Oh, and 200 if you want a really fancy case. So around 3000 pounds for best ins lot components with the motherboard included, you litera,ly can't really spend more than that unless you go for weird artsy or branded stuff, and even there cable mod cables and such won't set you back to much.

      Something really odd that I've encountered with them when used them to bring network to tv stuff downstairs in a ~50 year old semi-detached home. The neighbours on the other side of the wall are also using tp-links and their tv always tries to connect to my network. There was something very lacking in the config options when tried to sort it out, but it's been a while since run them.
