    He used to be good especially when the steam deck was first being released he did some good early videos on it. However it seems like in the last year or so every single minipc/handheld/etc vendor started sending him free review units and he feels compelled to do a video on every single one. He’s probably got rooms full of awesome tech stuff that isn’t being used, or he sells it.

    I kinda stopped paying attention to him when he said oculink 4i has 8 lanes of pcie, or something like that.

    Also him paying windows 11 any mind at all while acknowladging steam on Linux works fine for every game he tests is pretty cringe.

              • I wonder what happens with all the hardware that is not considered W11 ready when W10 goes EOL. And no, I don’t think “switch to Linux” mantra is solution for everyone. It sure is possible for a lot of home users, but I mean mainly those thousands and thousands of office/corp/workstation PCs with SW that simply can’t be moved to Linux. Is it simply going to be one huge middle finger from MS?

                • @kurcatovium @blindsight Big Corp tends to have surrogated the maintenance and deployment of their Hw.

                  It will.mean a huge flood of samall hp desktop computers and similar to the aftermarket for the next years.

                  The mid and small companies will have issues and they might keep their win10 for.longer, opening a nice opportunity window to hackers in general.

                  Domestic users will be at the same position.

                  Lots of people can upgrade without meeting the requirements and they will be the pariah ignored by microsoft support.

                  TPM chips to be added to your board will be a growing market.

                  And a few lucky ones will end using linux, freebsd, haiku or whatever which fits with them.

      Yeah it’s very obvious that he speedruns these reviews. How can you expect him to properly test the hardware when he can’t even make sure the specs are accurate, or even give it just a quick spell-check?
