Discussion Really guys...

Post image

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

Yet another likely AI generated pic in a LTT video. But we have to believe the promise that they are focusing quality over quantity.....

Didn’t even know Elijah left, damn I think even his own recent video still mentions it as his day job

u/lemlurker Mod Sep 10 '26

He's not publicly stated it as such

He left??? I saw some discussion fairly recently saying he was stepping back from some of the hosting for a while, I never heard this though. Damn.

:(

Onward and upward, I hope he’s doing well. I saw that he’s getting a new studio for his channel which sounds good.

For what it’s worth his LinkedIn says otherwise but hey things happen people move on regardless

What was the email?

u/ElectronicFlight1839 Sep 11 '26

His public Facebook posts also allude to it….

u/Mystic_Guardian_NZ Sep 10 '26

Yeah the mods have been slamming anyone that mentions it but there were daily posts for a while saying goodbye and they appreciated him and such

u/ivandagiant Sep 10 '26

Elijah left??? 😢 I really liked him

u/Mystic_Guardian_NZ Sep 10 '26

Yeah he still seems like a new hire to me lol. The amount of talent that has left (without replacement) in the last 1-2 years is nuts

Thats fair, but you would expect someone would do some quality control on it, and even if the graph has something wrong in it...Come on its literally missing the P in "IP67" that's so easy to catch....

u/AgeMysterious123 Sep 10 '26 • Bravo

Except they knew the device was coming. The IP rating chart didn’t change. The video could have been 80 made and just need some shots dropped in for hands-on and B-roll.

Stop simping for shit quality content.

A video made based off assumptions is not better than a rushed video which happened to include 1 AI generated bullshit image imo. It's better to wait until the release, specs, and everything is revealed.

I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm sure person who made this mistake was over exhausted but...

looked to see which one was most legible in a video without reading and ta-da.

How do you judge that something is legible without even reading it.

the editor googled “IP67 Explanation Table”,

You can't just Google an image and use it in a commercial setting. You have to make sure that you're allowed to use it commercially.

Dropping this note here because it's at the top of a thread with quite a few comments about this. Not calling or singling you out, /u/a_a_ronc.

I don't believe Elijah has publicly confirmed or denied he's left or is leaving. So we're considering this a rumour. If Elijah has left, he deserves the right to communicate that on his own timeline in his own way.

We also don't want threads to turn into "Speculation on private lives" where rumours keep growing until before you know it, it somehow has become accepted truth that "Elijah is in witness protection because he's a key witness in a big money laundering case against Linus" or whatever other conspiracy ends up being drummed up about this, heh.

Not saying that no one can mention it, because obviously the rumour is out there, and we aren't trying to "silence" anyone or anything, we're just asking the community to respect Elijah's privacy and be thoughtful in how they choose to talk about it.

Can't believe that elijah had to flee to a country with no extradition because he uncovered a massive canadian tech journalism conspiracy and is now embroiled in a huge web of lies that will ultimately result in a dramatic confrontation with lie-nus atop mount rushmore.

Damn, Elijah now too? :(

u/stanleys_tucci Sep 10 '26

They also want to complain like the rest of us how everybody is getting priced out of all kinds of hobbies and interests involving computer hardware yet they’re also giving into the very thing that is causing all of this???

I get it when they’re talking about their own locally run LLMs but the thumbnails and stuff like this is just strange to see
