and it's common practice for schools to get software for free so he didn't do anything wrong.
It's not? Schools still have to purchase licenses, and in fact if they don't purchase the licenses then they run the risk of getting sued after being audited. Maybe educational licensing is cheaper than commercial licensing (I haven't checked, but I assume it may well be), but it is not free. (In fact, at my school, I've been denied use of software I wanted to use on several occasions since it was deemed "too expensive")
You are right, it's common practice for unis to talk to them. A substantial portion is free or steeply discounted, but that's all about the uni and the organisation coming to an arrangement. They'll often have a 'contact us if you are an educational institution' part on their pricing page. Or if it's common and large enough company they might just have that as a purchase option. Looking at maxon and zbrush (art software I'm more familiar with), for the full suite it's 2k AUD annually individually, or 300AUD for a lab license, and 2.3k for teams, with students paying half the full license fee also (so 1k anually). 2.3k->300 is a steep discount to be sure, but it's not free. This is pretty typical.
They uni can't just assume it and take it for free. That's insane.
Yeah but it’s meant for only while they are a student and for educational use only. Not for students to take advantage of it and start their freelance side hustle and not to have to plan for the license in their budget. I hate the software subscription practice as much as the next guy, but you should either pay for your software or switch to FOSS.
Yeah it’s cheaper for educational institutions as it is for big corporations. As in they are buying usually more than 10 seats at a time and probably paying yearly. It’s like shopping at sams club, Costco or BJs, it’s cheaper because you are buying in bulk but it’s still more expensive than buying just one. They may give schools a bit better of a deal than the mega corp using it for profit but it’s still more expensive than just buying one license.
And LTT is more entertainment than educational and they would only need one license. Linus was just being cheap
This isn't entirely wrong. Without payment, content is much more sparse and lower budget and ad blockers reduce revenue. Of course, the real problem isn't so much ads as the ads being insufferable and far too often an avenue for malware. And this itself is a result of execs misunderstanding online ads; online ads can track engagement but often these are massively weighted at the expense of the original purpose of ads which was exposure and this weighting leads to ads being made more and more intrusive and annoying to target metrics to make out of touch executives happy.
Not so sure if the content quality was better. Prior to the dot com boom (and bust) the internet had very little content compared to now. The highlight was practically IRC. Today you can stream 4k content off the web and it's much easier to find content and there's way more of it.
Ads suck, I'm not going to argue that. I included some reasons why ads suck in my previous post. But it's hard to argue that they aren't contributing to making better quality content and making it accessible. Just because some shit exists out there doesn't mean the entirety of the modern internet is a failure. Just learn how to apply some filters to get the good stuff. That's what scored.co's algorithm is after all, it's a filter to help us find quality content.
And it would be incredibly naive to think the admins of this site weren't putting in all of this effort to make a functional and attractive site if making some coin by selling it off (to someone that would put ads on it) wasn't on the table.
Its the same as busking imo. You perform in public with the expectation you'll get paid but there's no contractual obligation for ppl to pay you either by donating or ads.
As it is, ltt gets paid via a lot of other sources
He defended racemixing durring the 2020 regressive leftist riots, and now he refused to admit that the vaccine was worthless after getting infected and spewed "muh qanon" as an excuse while ignoring complaints of medical and scientific fraud.
Fuck him, we should start telling everyone that he and his company have gone regressive so we know to avoid him and to mirror his content.
Funny thing is that this isn't a bad argument in itself, but following it through to its logical conclusions turns it into the most racist thing possible.
Not only are races different but there are different castes within races and the classic noble castes/tribes within races have higher average potential outcomes than the lower castes/tribes.
This one really fucks with people's heads, including those who present as surface level "race realists."
Leave the science to the people who went to school for science
The first time you p-hack something at work because you want to be done with it so you can go do something else more interesting cures you of the idea of science as some noble profession.
Which is something that going to school "for science" equips you to do.
Or if he noticed motherboards connected to Seasonic PSUs dying in unusual numbers and neither Seasonic nor UL would actually investigate would he keep putting them into workstations. I'm sure those Seasonic engineers know what they're doing.
A good point: computing used to be one of the more anti-credentialist technical professions. Most of us were programming and building computers long before we ever sat in a classroom, and a lot of people in the field my age and older used to be biased against people with advanced degrees.
100%. Because it's so easy to spot the fakers. I don't care what institution you did or didn't attend or what piece of paper they did or didn't issue to you. Can you do the work?
(And this is why wokism hates meritocracy. They can't do the work, so they want a credentialist system.)
The jab does nothing for transmission. I know families that were all jabbed. All got covid. You'd think if it was so great, only a minority would not the whole family
Yup, sounds like the tech guy doesn't understand the inherent variability of scales and average weight, not realising it will fluctuate 5-6 over the course of a day.
I think subject matter makes a difference too. If it’s written as in a sentence that someone would probably say in casual conversation you can guess it’s a southerner vs a preachy sentence = sjw. Also their adoption of the word folks or even more irritating folx
I'm about as right wing as you can get without stepping into "whispering bible verses to my rifle in a bunker" territory, and I'm a total environmentalist. Conserving the planet is a right wing position.
Of course, for me that means ending foreign aid, ending global supply chains, no more business with China, India, or Africa until they sort their shit out. You know, things that would actually matter big picture. Things neither the DNC nor the GOP would ever do because it'd be unprofitable.
I do know what you mean though. Half-assed virtue signals about "going green" are often a red flag for woke beliefs. The question is, are they doing it for ass pats or because they actually care?
I'm gonna be real with you, I don't take seriously any "environmentalist" who won't at least entertain the idea of going to war with China or India over how bad they pollute. All these soft faggots want to complain about too many plastic bags in their grocery stores but don't want to address the rivers of plastic in Asia.
China? yeah go for it because their environmental policies are the least of the concerns with that shithole, though with India I think we should take measures to combat corruption in that country which will likely require deploying peacekeepers to ensure compliance with any deals we make with them.
Darwin awards should be applicable if parents take steps to effectively eliminate their genetic line like this, not just the current applications for self removal from reproduction.
That said modern muchausen by proxy would mean a lot of those kinds of Darwin awards by proxy.
"If I lose followers for this, so be it", he says while parroting NPC opinions to fellow NPCs.
If there's one thing more annoying than being an unthinking establishment drone, it's pretending that being an unthinking establishment drone is some dangerous and revolutionary act.
For some reason I thought I'd gotten the idea he wasn't all in on the left, at least for a Canadian. Guess I was wrong. I didn't really pay much attention to him, because his content kinda sucks. His content is high production value but low quality. For the most part it's a whole lot of talking and theatrics with very little actual information.
Good. He's insufferable, especially when he compared ad blockers to piracy
When did he do this? I know someone that follows him, so I'm curious as to what they're reaction would be to that.

Educational can be much cheaper, depending on program.
In the OCCT dev's post, he said he would have been willing to give them one for free. LTT and JayZTwoCents both ignored him.
Yeah but it’s meant for only while they are a student and for educational use only. Not for students to take advantage of it and start their freelance side hustle and not to have to plan for the license in their budget.

It's a complex topic.
It's almost as if gatekeeping improves quality.
Not so sure if the content quality was better. Prior to the dot com boom (and bust) the internet had very little content compared to now. The highlight was practically IRC. Today you can stream 4k content off the web and it's much easier to find content and there's way more of it.

What is a mutt?
Meanwhile, cucking on the rise, but COMPLETELY unrelated.
To be fair, he doesn't actually teach much of anything of value. He's infotainment at best.
If you want to actually learn something about hardware, Louis Rossmann is excellent even if he's mostly moved into lobbying for right to repair.
Well if we don’t have a right to repair the average persons need to know about hardware doesn’t really matter. But Rossmann is great to watch
The first time you p-hack something at work because you want to be done with it so you can go do something else more interesting cures you of the idea of science as some noble profession.
Which is something that going to school "for science" equips you to do.
He should tell people not to build computers unless they have an engineering degree focusing on consumer electronics.
Or if he noticed motherboards connected to Seasonic PSUs dying in unusual numbers and neither Seasonic nor UL would actually investigate would he keep putting them into workstations. I'm sure those Seasonic engineers know what they're doing.
A good point: computing used to be one of the more anti-credentialist technical professions. Most of us were programming and building computers long before we ever sat in a classroom, and a lot of people in the field my age and older used to be biased against people with advanced degrees.
I’m always weary of people who supposedly have multiple years experience, but lead with their degrees and not their recent finished projects.
100%. Because it's so easy to spot the fakers. I don't care what institution you did or didn't attend or what piece of paper they did or didn't issue to you. Can you do the work?

The jab does nothing for transmission. I know families that were all jabbed. All got covid. You'd think if it was so great, only a minority would not the whole family
Based on Pfizer’s initial trial of 44,000 people, the jabs do nothing for transmission, hospitalization, or death.
That's not how they sold it. They promised the moon when it first came out. Stopping the spread, getting back to normal, etc.
And boy did that happen. 🚀🚀🚀
Looking at the current official numbers, the vaxxtarded get the coof easier and get worse symptoms than purebloods.
Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome you say? Impossible!
So in other words he did a big shit.
Yup, sounds like the tech guy doesn't understand the inherent variability of scales and average weight, not realising it will fluctuate 5-6 over the course of a day.
Honestly I can lose six pounds in an hour with an especially strenuous workout. It's just water weight moving around.
Anyone who writes "y'all" seriously should be either totally ignored or mocked mercilessly.
I’m not too fond of giving up a word that’s been used forever in a section of the US because leftist mouth breathers decided to adopt it.
In conversation, no problem. Written, it's intended to convey a faux folksiness used by those very leftoid mouth-breathers.
I think subject matter makes a difference too. If it’s written as in a sentence that someone would probably say in casual conversation you can guess it’s a southerner vs a preachy sentence = sjw. Also their adoption of the word folks or even more irritating folx
Linus's whole being just screams beta male cuck
The personification of soy.
Well he's admitted that his wife basically runs everything so cuck is pretty spot-on.
Linus is the definition of a beta male cuck. I watched some of his videos in the past but never again.

If I got a shot and then got the disease it's supposed to stop (not prevent, STOP), I would sue.
Oh wait, I can't, because the medical industry is held to special standards which would never fucking work anywhere else.
"Oh you crashed your car and the seatbelt broke? Oops, sorry, your fault not mine lmao"
Except the medical industry is usually held to that standard.
They're not being held to it for this specific vaccine.
They usually aren't.
Why do you think every medicine has ludicrous side effects written in fine print? It's to cover their ass.
"Oh our painkiller gave you a stroke? Sorry it's written down to warn you, sorry!"
Actually that's because someone had a stroke during the clinical trial and they couldn't prove it wasn't because of their medication.
Look up pilpul and how kikes like the use wordplay.
If you willingly do something and that thing happens to you, they classify that as themselves being absolved of all wrongdoing.
If they torture you horrifically and then point a gun to your head, they'll classify it as a suicide if you pull the trigger.
Darwin awards should be applicable if parents take steps to effectively eliminate their genetic line like this, not just the current applications for self removal from reproduction.
That said modern muchausen by proxy would mean a lot of those kinds of Darwin awards by proxy.
Linus has this in place this because he takes one look at the most knowledgeable employee he has and sees a guy that will not survive covid.
"If I lose followers for this, so be it", he says while parroting NPC opinions to fellow NPCs.
If there's one thing more annoying than being an unthinking establishment drone, it's pretending that being an unthinking establishment drone is some dangerous and revolutionary act.
That explains why how me managed to let himself get like that.
Can't say I am surprised that fat balding piece of shit dick rides troons.
Not like the jab stops him from getting it
would not survive covid, or a six inch fall, or middle age. He might do well in a famine though.
it would have been worse without all those shots ! ahahaha XD
what a complete gaylord
but of course, this only shows that "triple vaxxed" is not enough. he should have at least five injections of the miracle juice
How could Nvidia do this?
For some reason I thought I'd gotten the idea he wasn't all in on the left, at least for a Canadian. Guess I was wrong. I didn't really pay much attention to him, because his content kinda sucks. His content is high production value but low quality. For the most part it's a whole lot of talking and theatrics with very little actual information.
We do not a virus pandemic we have a testing pandemic as to try and make the plandemic more believable.................
I hope he gets it again.
Didn't he do a tutorial on how to use a raspberry pi to block ads on every device on your network?
Let me guess, his ads started getting blocked so he hates it now.
Yeah, was following them for a while on twitch and YT but that qanon jab, dropped his ass to the fucking curb.
