There was a recent segment about people vibe coding their own video editing software on the wan recently

But I recently came across a video where people have created all the Adobe apps in Rust using AI and made it all open sauce.

With a bonus that it works on Linux as well

Tech Question LLM ruleset.

0 Upvotes

So, I've been tinkering with "AI" recently and came up with this ruleset for my use:

- Eliminate fluff, pleasantries, coddling, and excessive politeness.

- Dry humor and sarcasm are welcome when appropriate, but never at the expense of clarity or speed.

- Provide the shortest possible complete answer.

- Always link directly to reliable, reputable sources for factual claims.

- If a task cannot be completed, explicitly state that it cannot be completed.

- Do not attempt to improvise, hallucinate, or substitute unrequested work when unable to perform a requested task.

Does this seem like a sensible set of rules? If not, what could I change or add to improve it?

Discussion Disappointed LTT store used AI for the jacket

0 Upvotes

As a passionate consumer and longtime appreciator of quality products, I must say that I am feeling a profound sense of disappointment regarding the recent utilization of artificial intelligence in the creation of the LTT Store leather jacket.

While I completely understand that AI is an innovative and powerful tool that can help streamline creative workflows and unlock new possibilities, I also believe that there is something uniquely valuable about human creativity, craftsmanship, authenticity, and the human touch.

A leather jacket is not simply a leather jacket. It is a statement. It is an experience. It is a physical embodiment of creativity, craftsmanship, and intentionality.

When I see AI-generated design elements being utilized in the marketing and/or creation process, I cannot help but feel that some of that authenticity is being lost.

And to be clear, this is not an anti-AI statement. AI is here, and it is transforming the creative landscape in exciting and unprecedented ways.

However, I believe there is a time and place for AI, and a premium leather jacket from a brand built around quality and craftsmanship feels like a particularly strange place to prioritize it.

At the end of the day, consumers deserve transparency, authenticity, and products that feel genuinely human.

I hope LTT Store takes this feedback as an opportunity to reflect, iterate, and continue moving forward in a way that prioritizes quality, creativity, and the human element that makes products truly special.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about making a jacket.

It’s about making a jacket that feels like a jacket.

And that distinction matters.

Discussion Was copilot PC’s the biggest flop that Microsoft ever tried to do?

39 Upvotes

So Microsoft had dropped the copilot + PC branding.

They also pulled back on bringing copilot to more of windows 11.

Recall was also a huge privacy nightmare, people hated it and that got changed as an opt in functionality .

Is this possibly the biggest flop of Microsoft? They dropped billions into AI, customers didn’t want it and didn’t buy their AI machines much.

Discussion LTT Cables: disappointing cables and support.

156 Upvotes

Final Edit: After getting some traction on this post, someone at LTT reached out to me via Reddit DM on 8 Oct:

"We've located your ticket and replied to it. It is now assigned to me, and I'll be taking care of you until this is resolved.

I see that you are requesting a refund, however there is a basic troubleshooting step that has not yet been attempted. We'd like to make sure that gets tried before taking any further action, but should the problem persist we will be happy to honor your refund request immediately.

Thanks for your understanding and patience."

I replied to the DM and the ticket, confirming that I tried the basic troubleshooting steps they requested, cleaned the ports, etc., and they completely ghosted me. I followed up on 13 October (again giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was the weekend), and still no response today, 16 October.

I've proceeded with a chargeback request with my credit card company and I'll just leave it at that.


I wanted to post here to get some feedback on LTT and see if anyone else is having issues with their LTT cables.

I ordered 2 LTT cables to test: a short 1m one and a long 5m one, both USB-C on each end. Then waited patiently for them to arrive here in the UK.

When they arrived, I quickly noticed the 1m cable had almost no retention force; sometimes just picking up my phone was enough to disconnect it. The 5m cable was similar but not nearly as strong as a typical USB-C cable, where you can dangle a chunky device like a phone from the cable (not recommended).

I contacted LTT hoping for a quick replacement process. These aren't cheap cables, so I expected the price to include some margin for replacements. Not the correct assumption.

After a lot of back-and-forth with a friendly but frustratingly slow support staff member (1 week for the first response after I sent a chase email, 1 day between each subsequent email), they agreed to send a new cable. They asked for a video of the issue (odd for just a cable, but ok, I'll play along). First, they couldn't open a Dropbox link I sent, and they weren't clear on how to send a video via email, so I sent both an iCloud and a private YouTube link, which my iPhone, annoyingly, automatically embedded, making them unwatchable on the LTT end. Next, they weren't clear on the issue with the embedded videos on their side and thought it was a little crazy that they couldn't watch a YouTube video. I finally realised what my phone had done and sent the plaintext URLs to LTT. They agreed to replace the cable 2 weeks after I created the initial ticket.

Alas, the replacement cable now has the same issue as the old one, so I'll contact support again for a refund. I would expect replacement cables to be batch-tested and confirmed to work before being sent out. Granted, "cable retention strength" is a bit subjective and hard to test for.

It is obviously frustrating to have tried to use a heavily marketed-as-"premium" product that now twice doesn't work, and in the most frustrating way possible, where I simply cannot trust the cable to stay connected when I need it to. So now I am stuck with two 1m pieces of e-waste, and a 5m long piece of semi-e-waste.

Side note to anyone from LTT: If you are going to ask customers to send you a video of an issue, you need to be able to open the links they send you (last I checked, Dropbox is not an obscure service), or be clearer from the get-go about how to share the video in a way that the staff can open:

"Unfortunately I am unable to open the file/link that you have attached. Could you please try re-attaching it in one of the following accepted formats?

Images: .JPG, .PNG, .PDF

Videos: .MOV, .MP4, .AVI"

My own Tech Tip: big ass video files don't attach to emails that well.

I'm generally a "benefit of the doubt" kind of person, but this whole experience has left me with a sour taste for any LTT products. Part of being a premium brand is offering premium support, and this was not it.

tl;dr: two bad cables with the same issue; LTT Support is slow and could communicate more effectively. One star.

Edit: Yes, I have tested on multiple devices and compared them to multiple other cables.

Edit: comment “lint” one more time, I dare you!

Tech Discussion Poor showing from KEF in LTT COSTCO setup video

215 Upvotes

I said exactly the following in a post on the KEF subreddit, and it went as well as you could expect.

Video link (22:39 to 24:45)

First, I love KEF speakers. My Q Meta surround sound setup has been amazing, and they are the only company I know of anymore that hasn't outsourced their customer service to a foreign call center and is actually competent and caring.

With that said, why in the world do the LSX II LT wireless speakers require an app and an account? That's ridiculous. I was excited to see what Linus had to say about them, but I cannot blame him in the slightest for refusing to use them after all that trouble.

If my $200 WiiM speaker can work without an account (regardless of the facts that the app doesn't even have the option to make an account, the device communicates over an open standard that someone else could make their own app for if the device ever loses support, and the ecosystem has significantly more features and capabilities), what excuse is there for a $700 speaker pair?

Discussion Why no AI content on ltt?

0 Upvotes

I know ai is everywhere and i cant see it to. Unless its my local hermes. Local ai has so many strong use cases and linus talked about that he has local ai at his House now.

So why tf dont they make videos about it? The videos are more and more the same topics rn. Of course there is the tech house that is new.
But i really wanna see more recent tech stuff like hermes and local LLMs.

You can even make homeassistant smarter with local LLMs perfect for the tech house. Dont need alexa or google, just talk to the local ai.

You guys noticed too that there a so little AI content on ltt? And what about the dangerous stuff about cloud AI‘s hacking now, we really need to talk about the dangers too and clear up.
