An established English actor went missing just outside LA about 2 weeks ago. He was hiking in Angeles National Forest. Snowy and dangerous. If he had this feature on his phone (and knew how to use it) he would have been found by now. Instead it looks like he is dead. Just got lost on a hike less than an hour from Downtown LA.

And please bear in mind, im talking about the publication releasing the video, insisting it be filmed the way it was and finding no problems with the finished product.

It says nothing to the person building it, and how they couldn't stand up for themselves and ended up needing to damage control their reputation because of it (the Linus vid still doesn't address some glaring pieces of advice too)

Im talking about just The Verge. Stefan was just a wet towel at the time, when he should've been a rock.

So how could you possibly trust a tech publication whos higher ups clearly have no problem releasing a how to build a pc guide that would literally destroy most of your components if you followed it?

It brings all their articles/opinions into a bad light...and frankly its laughable that they didnt address it.

This is kind of a silly analogy. Gaming PCs, including prebuilts, custom, and laptops, are a $40 billion dollar a year business worldwide. Google alone makes that two months, Apple in less than that. The smartphone market is 10 times bigger than all of PC gaming. It’s like seeing someone fail a trig test (in, to be fair, a pretty embarrassing way), and concluding that they literally know nothing about all of math. Yes, I’m aware I’m feeding the troll. I’m bad at letting bad arguments lie
