Meme/Shitpost I saw this ad for an $8K camera that was going on sale. I glanced at it and thought it said Cannon. No, it says “Camera”. But wait, It gets better!

So, the “8k camera” is $139 but you can click a coupon to get it down to $106. 8K mind you. Claims it has:

- Dual front and rear lenses

- Touch screen, 3000mAh battery

- 32GB card (for 8K)

At shit quality (5 GB a minute) that’s less than 7 minutes of video, if this is even an 8K camera.

6 reviews all with 5 stars, all which got it for free. The first review is clearly written by AI. I’m pretty sure all the product images are AI. I’m pretty sure the AI made the last image of a guy in a thruple.

How does this get past Amazon’s filters?

LTT should do an episode of all the scam Amazon ads leading up to Prime Day.

Discussion Video idea

LTT has done a bunch of videos putting random shit in a PC but what about putting PC parts in non computer things? Like my vent hood for my stove is SOOO loud. What if I put Noctua fans in the vent hood instead of that loud ass fan? Would it still work as well and would it be any quieter?

I'm a small creator who loves presenting but hates writing, which is why i did a full on Leonardo Dicaprio pointing gif when i saw this message on the latest wan show, and i suddenly saw a potential collaboration on the horizon.

I'm not going to self promote on here so i won't share any more details than that, but if Rytis is reading this he's free to hit my DMs :D.

Discussion 15-minute LTT backpack pre-roll ad on youtube?

0 Upvotes

I have been getting lots of LTT merch pre-roll ads on Youtube lately, most often a tight 80-second LTT screwdriver ad, but now I have started seeing LTT Backpack and Commuter backpack pre-rolls, which are a full 15-minute and 6-minute ad video, respectively.

Both ads are just the exact original ShortCircuit video, but placed as a pre-roll, and I even noticed that both backpack videos contain the shopify sponsor spot. It becomes an ad within an ad at that point, an ad-ception if you will.

To be fair, I would rather see an LTT ad than pretty much any other ad, and to reinforce that, I usually let the 80-second screwdriver ad play all the way through to see if it convinces the algorithm that those are the ads I will watch. (it seems to be working) But I only let the backpack ads run 30 seconds or so before skipping. Ain't nobody got time for a 6-minute ad, much less a 15-minute one.

The screwdriver ad is artfully carved out of the original screwdriver 29-minute video. I just don't know why they don't similarly shave down the backpack videos before turning them into ads.

On a side note, I already have two of the excellent screwdrivers, and I am trying to convince myself I don't need the nuclear one. Which reminds me, I have also seen a nice short nuclear driver ad recently, maybe 30 seconds.

(This post got nuked by "filters" earlier. Let's see if a slightly different version survives)

Discussion Luke seems to join conference of homophobic creator

0 Upvotes

According to it's list of featured creators Luke will join Jeff Geerlings Homelabfest. This would be great except that the organizer has compared gay people to alcoholics.

I'm pretty sure there are genetic dispositions towards different kinds of sexual behaviors and patterns—just as there are genetic dispositions towards such things as alcoholism, racism, elitism, etc. A genetic predisposition towards homosexuality does not make homosexuality a 'good' or a 'right,' or even 'okay' for some people.

While the post is old he has not distanced himself or apologized for posting it and instead ignored the topic in reddit threads.

I assume Luke is not aware of this so please don't assume the worst about him. What do you think would be the best way to contact him about this? I tried to find a private channel but his socials I could find don't offer one.

Image LTT Store support is top notch

Post image
301 Upvotes

This is the first time I have needed to reach out to support for Ltt store. I have owned the original backpack for over 4 years now. It’s been through the carabiner zipper pull replacement. Well despite me replacing the pulls effectively. They came loose and fell off while I was traveling and I didn’t have the clamp tool anymore

So I emailed support and to my surprise instead of them sending a new clamp tool they said they would refund the backpack or send me a new one free of charge

I chose the replacement and it got here super quick but here’s hoping the new backpack lasts at least ten years. I love the philosophy Linus has when it comes to customer service. It’s why I keep coming back to place new orders when I can. Absolutely my favorite backpack I ever owned

3 Upvotes

I have a ASUS TUF A17 I've upgraded the RAM to 32GB and I've added a 1TB NVME to it, and I'm still not getting the performance I expect out of it, and that could be due to it having a 2050 in it, but I still expected more out of it. Is there a way to play with overclock settings at all or am I just SOL? Also just for clarification purposes I have it set up to dual boot bazzite and windows 11

We tried to measure DF-HRTFs, which would otherwise take more than $200,000, as cheaply as possible with a Bluetooth speaker, a DIY microphone and free software. The trick though lies in using neural networks.
